The health of older adults is influenced by many factors. One of the least understood is the role that social support and personal relationships may play in healthy aging. The National Social Life, Health and Aging Project (NSHAP) is the first population-based study of health and social factors on a national scale, aiming to understand the well-being of older, community-dwelling Americans by examining the interactions among physical health, illness, medication use, cognitive function, emotional health, sensory function, health behaviors, and social connectedness. It is designed to provide health providers, policy makers, and individuals with useful information and insights into these factors, particularly on social and intimate relationships. The study will be important in finding new ways to reduce morbidity and prevent dysfunction and disease as people age. The National Opinion Research Center (NORC), along with Principal Investigators at the University of Chicago, conducted more than 3,000 interviews during 2005 and 2006 with a nationally representative sample of adults aged 57 to 85. Face-to-face interviews and biomeasure collection took place in respondents' homes. Included in the Core File (Part 1) are: demographic characteristics, social networks, social and cultural activity, physical and mental health including cognition, well-being, illness, medications and alternative therapies, history of sexual and intimate partnerships and patient-physician communication, in addition to bereavement items, social activity items, physical contact module, sexual interest module, get up and go assessment of physical funtion and test results from vaginal swabs. The Core File also contains a count of the total number of drugs taken, and a variable for each observed therapeutic categories indicating whether the respondent reported taking one or more medications in that category. These variables are derived from the information in the medications file, and so are guaranteed to be consistent with it. The Marital History Data (Part 2) contains one record for each marriage or cohabitation identified in Section 3A of the questionnaire. The Social Network file (Part 3) contains one record for each person identified on the network roster. Respondents who refused to participate in the roster or who did not identify anyone are not represented in this file. The Medications File (Part 4) contains one record for each item listed in the medications log (including alternative medicines and nutritional products). Respondents who did not report taking any medications or who refused to participate in this module are not represented in this file. Sexual Partners Data (Part 5) contains one record for each sexual partner identified in Section 3A.

Should we focus more on measuring the results, or the process that get us there? This is the constant balancing act that we all address.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Jan. 9, 2013 - Three Dukes put up double digit points to lead the James Madison men's basketball team to a 78-50 victory over the UNCW Seahawks Wednesday night at the JMU Convocation Center. JMU ended a two-game losing streak to move to 8-8 on the season and 2-1 in Colonial Athletic Association play. UNCW falls to 5-10 and 0-3 in the conference.
Redshirt senior guard A.J. Davis (Columbus, Ohio/Harmony Community School (Wyoming)) recorded his first career double-double at JMU with 16 points and a career-high 10 rebounds. Redshirt senior forward Rayshawn Goins (Cleveland, Ohio/Glenville (Cincinnati State)) posted a game-high 18 points and freshman guard Andre Nation (Plant City, Fla./Faith Baptist Christian School) contributed 12 points of his own. Redshirt senior guard Devon Moore (Columbus, Ohio/Northland) kicked out a season-high eight assists.
For the Seahawks, senior forward Keith Rendleman led the team with 17 points while sophomore forward Cedrick Williams pulled down a team-high nine rebounds.
UNCW started the game off with an 8-0 run and held JMU scoreless for the first 4:02 of the game. A jumper by Goins, however, gave the Dukes the spark they needed to go on a 15-1 run over the next 6:29 to take a 15-9 lead.
The Seahawks were able to put together a 6-0 spurt to tie the game at 15-all, but were unable to retake the lead. A 23-6 run to close out the half by the home squad gave the Dukes a comfortable 38-21 advantage they would never relinquish.
JMU kept its foot on the gas to start the second half, posting the first six points out of the locker room. UNCW was unable to score a field goal for a combined 6:59 between the first and second halves. The Seahawks would only get as close as 13 before the Dukes would push their lead to as much as 37 in the final 20 minutes.
Madison forced 21 turnovers on the night and converted those into 29 points, including 18 in the first half off of 14 giveaways. JMU shot the ball well all night, finishing at 49.2 from the field while the defense held UNCW to just 27.5 percent from the field and just 20 percent from beyond the arc.
JMU returns to action this Saturday as the Dukes host the Drexel Dragons at the JMU Convocation Center. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m., as NBC Sports Network will carry the game nationally.
GAME NOTES: Gene Swindle saw action for first time since Dec. 23 against San Diego in the Vegas Holiday Hoops tournament, a 62-59 win for the Dukes... Arman Marks scored his first points of the season in his return to the court for the first time since Dec. 5 against East Tennessee State, a 70-45 JMU victory... Madison is now 4-2 at home this season.

I found this story from the NY Times to be truly inspirational," A Drug That Wakes the Near Dead " and I wanted to share it with This Just In readers.
By Guest Blogger Donna Cole
The NY Times reports good news,"Jobless Rate Dips to Lowest Level in More Than 2 Years ". Of course, most of the reduction in the unemployment rate is due to over 300,000 people giving up on looking for work. That is an intentional flaw in the governments equation for calculating the unemployment rate. The real unemployment rate is much higher.

Broadway Singing, Opera Voice, Piano, Singing, Speaking Voice
Elizabeth has been praised for her clear ringing soprano voice, excellent comic timing, and warm and enlightening performances (The News Journal of Wilmington, DE). She is a versatile singer and actively performs in musical theatre, operetta, and opera. She is also an established and respected voice and piano teacher.
Elizabeth was most recently seen as Joanie in The Full Monty at Candlelight Theatre in Delaware. Other recent performances include June in Musical of Musicals: The Musical and Peaches/ Baby Jane in Jerry Springer: The Opera with Bootless Stageworks in Wilmington, DE, solo performances with the New Voices Cabaret at the Society Hill Playhouse in Center City, and Woman 2 in My Way: A Musical Tribute to Frank Sinatra with Mainstage Center for the Arts in Blackwood, NJ. She has performed numerous leading roles with Philadelphia area Gilbert and Sullivan companies, most notably appearing as Angelina in Trial by Jury with The Savoy Company, winning Best American Production at the 2011 International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival. Her G &S performance credits include the roles of Patience (Patience), Yum-Yum (The Mikado), Rose Maybud (Ruddigore), Phyllis (Iolanthe), and Fiammetta (Gondoliers). Additionally, she has pioneered roles in new operas, including Gwendolyn in The Crowded House at the 2010 Philly Fringe Festival and Zelda in Black Horses with OperaDelaware at the 2009 Wilmington Fringe Festival. She "tackled the challenging score with gusto, her beautiful soprano and excellent diction winning in even the highest vocal points" (The Community News of Wilmington, DE).
Elizabeth holds an M.M. in vocal performance from West Virginia University, where she was featured in numerous WVU Opera Theatre productions and was the soprano soloist with WVU Choirs in Faure's Requiem and Handel's Lord Nelson Mass. While at WVU, Elizabeth resumed taking lessons at the piano, which she had previously studied for many years, and exceeded the piano proficiency level required by the university. She also holds a B.A. in music and international studies from Emory University. Elizabeth has studied and performed internationally, both at the American Institute of Musical Studies in Graz, Austria, where she was the recipient of the Lemmonds Scholarship, and at the Bel Canto program in conjunction with L'Arena di Verona opera company in Verona, Italy.
As a graduate assistant at WVU, Elizabeth taught voice lessons to music education and performance majors as well as a course on vocal pedagogy. After graduating, she served as adjunct faculty, in which capacity she taught vocal repertoire and opera theater. She has maintained a private studio since 2005, in which she instructs students in voice and piano.
*** Lesson Details ***
I am a fun, enthusiastic teacher who cares deeply about her students and their growth as musicians and people. I believe teaching works best when students are relaxed, having fun, and are actively engaged in the learning process. Musical skills depend upon muscles, so it is important that you practice what we work on during lessons at home if you wish to see real progress. I will work hard along with you and ask for your input during lessons; we are partners in the learning process.
My specialty is the voice. I teach classical vocal technique with an emphasis on the body-mind connection. Through the course of my training, I have studied the Alexander Technique, which is a method that has been used by actors, musicians, and athletes to find optimal body-mind coordination to achieve better results. The voice is the only instrument that is literally your body, so we will be using these tools to improve posture, breathing, and resonance. By learning a healthy vocal technique, you can expect improved tone quality, an expanded vocal and dynamic range, greater resonance, increased agility, improved diction, and more. Healthy vocal technique can be applied to any genre, but I work mostly with classical and musical theater repertoire as this is my area of expertise.
I am also an established piano teacher and have had much success teaching beginning and intermediate students from ages 4 to 91 in various styles of music. I believe it is important for students to learn how to read and interpret written music as well as understand the structure behind it, so in addition to learning musical basics, I incorporate music theory into lessons. I encourage my piano students to learn how to read lead sheets and create chord accompaniments as well, which opens the door for comfortably playing in all sorts of styles sooner than would be possible by classical approaches alone. I also work on improvisation and songwriting with my piano students.
Whichever you choose to study (voice, piano, or both), I tailor lessons to suit each student's needs. I would like to enable you to meet your musical goals, whatever they may be.

Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Opera Voice, Piano, Singing
I have been singing for as long as I can remember. It is my very favorite activity. I have transformed my love of singing into a career.
I have been teaching music lessons for over 25 years. When you study with me you will have the advantage of that experience. I have extensive experience teaching students of all ages. Throughout my teaching career I have taught students with varied backgrounds and diverse needs. If you are a person who was told not to sing by your music teacher, don't give up! I have taught many children and adults to match pitches and improve their singing voices.
I earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Moravian College and a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Temple University. While at Temple, I studied standard vocal repertoire and Early Music. I have also completed graduate courses in Early Childhood and Elementary Education at West Chester University.
I served on the faculty of Suburban Music School for 17 years where I taught voice, piano and recorder lessons. I also directed the Children's Choir and the Women's Choir. I was formerly on the faculty of Delaware County Community College where I taught courses in the Music Department; and of Temple Music Prep where I instituted, developed and maintained a vocal program at Temple University's Ambler Campus.
In addition to teaching I was employed for eleven years as a chorister at Christ Church Christiana Hundred in Greenville, DE where I have had the opportunity to sing for such notable conductors as John Rutter, Sir David Wilcox, Sir Philip Ledger, Stephen Cleobury, and James O'Donnell. Previous choral work has included singing for Dr. Ifor Jones and for Michael Korn. I perform in solo and chamber music recitals throughout the Philadelphia area and in Cape May, NJ and with a Celtic group called Celtic Women and Friends.
*** Lesson Details ***
Voice Lessons
When you study voice with me, you will start with the basics - posture, breathing and tone production. If you have studied before, we will review these areas and brush up on anything that needs work. The next step is to learn some vocal exercises to warm up and develop your voice. When the exercises are going well, we will begin to work on songs. You will need to learn some classical songs because they help to develop your voice, but we will also work on the kind of music you like best. In addition to songs, we will work on solfege (do, re, mi, etc.) which helps to train your ear and to improve your sightreading ability. If you don't know how to read music I will teach you that. If you read music but have some gaps in your knowledge, we will fill those in.
I teach what is called bel canto (beautiful singing). It is a healthy vocal technique that will help you avoid vocal problems. When you learn to sing with this technique, you can sing any style of music you want. After a few months of study, you should be able to tell that your voice is growing stronger, that you have better breath control, and that your range is increasing.
Although I have high expectations of my students, I am relaxed and friendly. If you love to laugh, we will enjoy that together!
Piano Lessons
When you study piano with me you will enjoy playing a variety of songs from your lesson book. As you advance, we may add a repertoire book which increases the number and variety of songs you play. There are many excellent piano methods. I use different methods for different students, depending on their needs.
Lessons will include posture and proper hand position, warm-ups, songs and music theory. Music theory is the study of notation and how music is put together. You will have a workbook with exercises for this study. If there is a particular style of music you would like to play, we will look for music at your level to add to your lesson. After a few months of study, you should know how to read basic notation and be able to play a number of songs. You will also have increased your knowledge of musical notation and harmony.
I expect my students to practice in preparation for their lesson every week. I am relaxed and friendly, so that should help to put you at your ease.

Broadway Singing, Music Performance, Music Theory, Opera Voice, Piano, Singing
My background is as a classically trained singer and voice teacher. I have studied with numerous leading voice teachers and singers in the United States. I have a Bachelor's and Master's degree from Florida State University in Voice Performance and my Doctorate in Musical Arts in Vocal Pedagogy from The University of Miami. My education has provided me a great understanding of how the voice functions correctly and how to relate this to any level of student, from completely inexperienced singers to advanced singers. My teaching style focuses on making sure that the different parts of the voice are working correctly then focusing on the coordination of the entire system working together. Whether you are preparing for an important singing engagement or just trying to improve your skills, I would love to help you achieve your goals.
*** Lesson Details ***
Every voice lesson will consist of equal time instruction through vocal exercises and instruction through song. I have a very laid-back and fun approach to singing and teaching. I feel that the studio should be an enjoyable place and the voice lesson should be a time of the week to which the student looks forward. During the first lesson the student and I will set achievable goals in achievable time spans specific to the level and skill of the singer. I will give the student all the tools to achieve their goals, including weekly skill and muscle training exercises tailored to the student's needs.

Owen C. earned a full performing arts scholarship at Rowan University. During his time there, he won the Rowan University Concerto Competition, performed at the National Flute Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and studied at Domaine Forget in Quebec, Canada.

Rider Profile
Designed for the big, powerful BMC team riders who race on the battering cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix, this bike is also a perfect match for riders enjoying the recreational side of cycling. The optimized compliance and stable characteristics lets them ride for longer distances without getting fatigued and attack the trickiest descents with confidence.
The BMC Concept
Confidence Inspiring

Vertical Compliance
For the granfondo GF01, we bring TCC to a new level. Tuned specifically for the endurance segment with the Angle Compliance features, this bike absorbs a wider range of hits and vibrations than the already class-leading teammachine SLR01 without influencing your pedaling. Designed around and specified with 28mm tires, this bike lets you tackle the roughest roads with ease.
Ease of use
With the integrated chain catcher, durable tires and hassle-free components, this bike will take you for thousands of kilometers without interruptions. Spend less time in the workshop and more on your bike!
The endurance fit geometry and carefully chosen saddle and handlebar make your ride relaxed. Even after hours of riding you feel powerful. Come home from your ride with a smile instead of a grimace and enjoy the rest of the day.
Pure Carbon with Tuned Compliance Concept, Angle Compliance and DTi. DTi stands for "Dual Transmission integration". Thanks to the easy removal of the external cablestops, the granfondo frame can be converted from "mechanical" groups to "Shimano Di2".
BB86 press-fi t system for the best possible power transmission.The "Chain Catcher" integrated into the frame ensures precise and safe shifting.
Compliance fork with TCC for uncompromising lateral stiffness & precision steering. Tapered steer tube (1-1/8" - 1-1/2")

CNET Top 5
The devices on this page represent the best among their respective categories.
Samsung's midprice Series 5 UltraTouch looks and feels like a more expensive machine, but keeps it simple by skipping the complex hybrid mechanics of so many new Windows 8 systems.
Despite solid hardware, great battery life, and fast startup, we can't recommend the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 until and unless Google improves the Chrome OS.
The 4-pound Samsung Series 5 isn't as light and portable as some slim 14-inch laptops, but this AMD-powered version can be found at a significant discount if you shop around.
This midprice slim laptop gets a new body, plus a touch screen and backlit keyboard.
The 85-inch member of this billionaire-level TV series has been out for awhile, and we know most of the details already: $40,000 price tag, 4K resolution, crazy easel-type stand, Now the 110-inch size is official, and it costs $150,000.
The Samsung F7100 series offers a gorgeous design and impressive features, but "just OK" picture quality makes it a poorer value than its rivals.
Although its picture quality falls short of the competition, the Samsung UNF6300's high-end features and design for a midrange price will win plenty of converts.
Despite excellent all-around picture quality, the Samsung UNF9000 4K TV offers almost no improvement over cheaper 1080p TVs that cost much less.
Consider buying the Samsung Freeform 5 if you really need a QWERTY feature phone, but rival handsets will get you about the same experience for less.
The Samsung UNF6400 offers attractive styling and a full complement of features for the price but is outstripped by rivals for performance.

WHS Adoptable Animals
The Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a community where people value animals and treat them with respect and kindness. For more than 128 years, WHS has been saving the lives of animals in need. We offer adoption services that place 9,000 animals in new homes annually, veterinary services that save thousands of lives, educational programs that instill respect for animals, behavior services to assist guardians and a myriad of other initiatives that help end suffering for animals. We depend entirely on private donations to fund our programs and rely on volunteers in nearly every department. If you are interested in adopting, volunteering, enrolling in a class, taking a tour or making a donation, check out our comprehensive web site at wihumane.org. The adoptable animals' web pages are updated every 30 minutes!

Puppies Make Big Squeal for State Fair
Puppies Make a Big Squeal for State Fair
At 10:00 a.m. on Friday, August 6, adoptable puppies were dressed as piglets as they romped through straw and sampled cream puffs! Alice in Dairyland made a guest appearance, as well.
25% OFF Adoptions on Wednesday!
Save 25% on Wednesdays
Every Wednesday during the month of August, all dog, puppy and kitten adoption fees will be reduced by 25%. A free tote will also be offered with the adoption of each adult cat. As usual, fees for adult cats are entirely waived, every day of the week! Read more about the ASPCA Challenge and discounts and promotions through October.
55 Pups Brought to WHS
On Thursday night, fifty-five puppies and adult dogs arrived at the Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) from a rural animal shelter in Kentucky. The transfer was one of the largest this year for WHS.
These lucky pups owe their good luck to the PetSmart Charities Rescue Waggin' program, who works hard to bring dogs from small, overcrowded shelters to larger shelters like the Wisconsin Humane Society that can place them in new homes. They would have likely been euthanized without this lifesaving partnership.
Cat & Dog Food Needed

Founded in 1952, the Pearl Musical Instrument Company is one of the most popular brands of drums and percussion instruments for beginners and professional players alike. Their unique construction technique is known as SST or "Superior Shell Technology," and all Pearl drums feature this construction. Each ply is placed into a cylinder, and pressure is applied from both sides. While in the press, the shell is heated to bring the glue to a boil, thus forcing it through the wood grain and fusing the shells very tightly—thus creating a drum shell of incredible strength.
The world-renowned Pearl collection includes: Beginner/Semi-professional Series Rhythm Traveler – A smaller kit with shrunken drum depths intended for traveling, that includes cymbals, throne, hardware, standard heads, mesh heads and cymbal mutes. Read More>

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.

City may take up leaf-burning rules again
Alderman's proposal would lead to eventual ban
Since the election of 2006
Hi Kyle, kind of an interesting email I got from a friend. Your a statistaclly oriented person so I thought I might forward it to you for your enjoyment. Also kind of interesting how all the heating and ventilation (new word for air conditioning) need to be replaced at the other facilities. I hope all the yes people can enjoy that. Now if the Democrats get into office and repeal the Bush tax cut's they too won't be able to afford their house any more either. It all adds up in the end. Just a tax Hell. Larry KnetzgerPart 1

Speaks Out Against Inflation; Introduces Price Stability Act of 2008
5/1/08 - On the heels of yet another interest rate cut, Congressman Paul Ryan announced plans to introduced the Price Stability Act of 2008. Ryan also called for an end to the continued rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, which have fueled price increases across the board.
Fire stations preparing for what they said they could avoid
Today's Journal article, Larger fire stations considered, brings us nearly full circle in the continuing EMS/fire station relocation saga. (My emphasis throughout.)
"The city should build extra space into its new fire stations in case future demands require additional staff and vehicles, fire and city officials say."
Hey, things are looking up!
Anybody notice that the market was up on Friday? And the stimulus checks have not hit most mail boxes yet!
I have been checking my few mutual funds off and on and slowly they are creeping upward.
Weed Out and Nat. Day of Prayer Report
Last Thursday was the National Day of Prayer. The day was brisk, but at least the sun was out!
I headed over to City Hall and found the same faithful woman I met last year sitting on the ledge by the flag poles. We were soon joined by 2 other women--both of which I knew this time :). One of them told me she was at Pilgrim Park Middle School earlier that day with a group called Praying Parents. They evidentially meet a few times during the school year to pray over the schools.
Will gas prices affect your summer vacation?
Like most people, I am watching the gasoline prices rise and wondering how high they will go by summer travel time.
A temporary moratorium on the federal gas tax is now a topic of the presidential campaign. Obama is against, Clinton is for--if the oil companies pay for it via a wind fall profits tax (that just means they will pass it onto us), and I believe McCain is just for the moratorium with no charge to the oil companies.
You Can Make 2009 National Park Reservations Now
As I mentioned yesterday, I made my 2008 Yellowstone reservations too late in the season. (I never dreamed mid September 2007 was too late!)
I should have known better. We have gone several times in recent years. The first time we went with our son in 2001, I trusted the information from the Travel section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and made late August/early September 2001 reservations in Dec. 2000. I could get all of our dates except one. I made the reservation anyway and booked a cabin across the park for the one problem date. Despite checking at the desk every day for a early cancellation (once we were there), I never caught it. We had to move for one night and then come back, which ate up at least an entire day. Argh.
5K parents still have a half-day choice
Thank you Elmbrook board for accommodating the few parents who still want a half-day kindergarten experience for their children.
Although I still am not convinced that all day 5K academically has any long term benefit, at least parents, who believe a full day for a 5 year old is too much, can opt for just the half-day offering.

Let them eat (and drink) ethanol ala Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette's "Let them eat cake" is quoted a lot these days in regard to ethanol and rising food prices. There are many interpretations as to what she meant by it--some debate whether she said it at all.
The most interesting explanation I ever heard came from a UWM theater department teacher. She said that "cake" was the term for a gasket made from dough strips used to seal oven doors. When the baking was finished, the very over-baked, virtually inedible dough gaskets were scraped off and discarded. The poor would dig these out of the garbage and attempt to eat them. In other words, the bakers used food for a purpose other than human or animal consumption, and the insensitive Marie said the starving could always eat the gaskets.
Oil Wells Closer Than You Think
Record oil prices bring fresh interest in L.A.'s wells
McCain Urges EPA To Eliminate Biofuel Mandates, How About Wisconsin Too?
Wednesday, I caught a few minutes from Mark Belling's last half hour on the radio. He read this Wall Street Journal piece, The Biofuels Backlash. It is yet another condemnation of the whole biofuel fiasco--the food crisis, pollution, excessive water use, price supports, etc. You know, the usual complaints... (Let them eat and drink ethanol).
The WSJ piece opened stating that for the past "30 years we...opposed ethanol subsidies. So imagine our great, pleasant surprise to see that the world is suddenly awakening to the folly of subsidized biofuels."
Thanks Mom
My mom was an amazing woman. Her priorities were God, Dad, us, others, then herself. She was kind, generous, and a whiz at managing money. Since the economy is in the news so much these days, I will focus on her money management talents.
To use an expression I once heard, she could pinch a nickel so hard the
Indian was riding the buffalo! That is no longer politically correct,
but thankfully the nickels have changed now too. The updated version
would be she pinched a nickel so hard Jefferson was riding the buffalo! I am sure if she had been sent to Washington, she could have balanced the budget.
Postage goes up 1 cent today
Just a reminder that U.S. Postage for 1st class mail went up 1 cent today from 41 cents to 42 cents for 1 ounce. You you must add an extra 1 cent stamp to your existing 41 cent stamped mail.
If you have those Forever stamps with the Liberty Bell, those are still good without adding any additional postage. That is why they are called Forever!
Bike to Work Week
I heard this morning that one gas station in the Milwaukee area hit $4.00/gallon for gasoline this morning. What better time for the 2008 Bike to Work Week?
There are different special events this week including a bike tail gate and bike drive in movie (about bikes!)
Yippee! 2 peach blossoms so far
On a glorious day like today, there are few things I like better than an afternoon out in the yard. I just finished my Dr. Death duties (Weed B Gone and Round-Up*) and now I am ready for a little digging time in the flower bed.
I have been watching my 2 peach trees with growing interest. If they are going to bloom, it is usually on Mother's Day. Despite our late spring, they did not let me down. I spotted 2 blossoms in full bloom--1 on each tree. I am of course hoping for more, because there is nothing like a home-grown peach.
Ugh, McCain and Huckabee? Say it aint so
Just when I finally think I can stomach a McCain presidency, John goes and does something else that makes me shake my head in disgust.
McCain just joined 23 other senators in asking the EPA to reconsider some pollution standards. Good, I thought. Then right on the heels of that positive action, McCain still is talking Cap and Trade.

I heard the state is close to "balancing" our state $527 million budget deficit. Problem is, there are no real budget cuts, just plenty of bookkeeping tricks. Only 1/5th of 1% of the total budget is considered a cut.
One of the areas of bookkeeping magic that really makes me see red is the hijacking of $22 million from Federal Real ID into state budget coffers. Congressman Sensenbrenner doesn't like it either. "The law authored by Sensenbrenner is designed to create a more secure identification card in all 50 states. A $10 fee was placed on Wisconsin driver's licenses starting this year to start paying for it." The state is raiding this fund.
Native Europeans becoming second-rate citizens in own countries
I stumbled on this article while looking for info on EU revolting against going green. This is far more serious.
The Brussels Journal, "The Voice of Conservatism in Europe" (I did not know there was a conservative voice in Europe!) reported last year in Native Revolt: A European Declaration of Independence:http://www.brusselsjournal.com/node/1980

No Big Surprise, Senate Passes Budget, Assembly Votes Today
Is it any wonder we are in the financial mess we are in with the state budget? The Senate passed the budget fix yesterday, the Assembly may vote on it today. Contact your State Assembly Representative and let them know your opinion anyway. They could use your support. (Contacts are at end of post.)
My State Representative Leah Vukmir was on Vicki McKenna yesterday explaining the budget fiasco. Leah commented, something is wrong when the budget fix proposed was less conservative than what Doyle would do! She said Doyle criticized them for not making budget cuts. It is pretty bad when your only hope for a better budget is that you liberal governor might make some vetoes!
McDonald's, I'm NOT lovin it! End Support of Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce
McDonald's has been showing it's true rainbow colors as of late, and I'm not lovin it. What next? Ronald McDonald coming out of the closet? (Ooh, not ready for that!)
On April 2, 2008, I received an Action Alert from American Family Association, a conservative Christian group. It informed that "McDonald's has signed on to a nationwide effort to promote 'gay' and 'lesbian' business ventures."
State Budget Passes Assembly: Now Veto Pen Only Hope?
The Assembly narrowly approved the state budget bill fix, 51 - 46. So now what?
Representative Leah "Vukmir said she hoped Doyle would veto the entire bill."
HG&D Work Session Report: Keep Parent & Board Approval
I attended the Human Growth and Development (Sex Ed.) work session Tuesday night. Several of the HG&D parent committee members were in the audience along with some interested parents.
It was great to see many of our board members boldly standing up for the rights of the parent members of the HG&D committee as well as their own right to review and approve of specific lesson plans and materials used for Elmbrook's Sex Education program.
Heirloom Tomatoes, Everything Old Is New Again?
I actually got my tomato plants into the soil yesterday! That is a record for me--usually I don't get them it until the first week in June. I am pleased with my accomplishment. :)
For the past few years I have planted Lemon Boy. They have a wonderful fruity flavor and are a pretty yellow color. They are not heirlooms, but I purchased 2 at a recent visit to Steins since they are a favorite. I also picked up a Sweet Cluster--a small 2" red type.
What would life be like with only legal residents? (Better!)
You've probably heard the news reports: Illegals cost the average American $6,000 to $9,000 a year in added social serivces costs. The dollar amount depends on who is reporting and which specific government service is being addressed. We know that illegals do cost us in health care area. Many about to deliver illegal women swim the Rio Grande to get to U.S. soil and then enter the emergency rooms still soaking wet. All to have the chance of giving birth to a legal anchor baby.
Or how about the extra costs incurred in police and corrections? What about in our school systems? The list of illegal immigrant generated costs goes on and on.
Taxpayers Need a Referendum Reprieve
I admit it. I was surprised when Elmbrook's $62 million dollar referendum passed last April 1st. Usually, it takes 3 referendum tries before one will pass.
In my opinion, Elmbrook's referendum broke ranks and passed on the second try because of 3 reasons. One, it was held during a spring election (lower voter turnout) rather than a November presidential election (higher voter turnout), and two, there was virtually no get out the vote campaign from those opposed. (The third reason I call the secret weapon*, the HSST. Voters really trusted that HSST committee theoretically made up of both "No and Yes" voters. But this third reason does not apply to this posting.)
Thankfully, Elmbrook is Wary of Risky Investment Business

Tuesday is Coffee Bargain Day at Alterra
Today is Tuesday, and I must make my monthly
pilgrimage to Alterra coffee at Mayfair Mall. (It is usually the only reason I venture over to Mayfair!)
In case you did not know, Tuesdays are double punch days at Alterrra Coffee. That means they give you 2 punches for every pound of coffee you purchase at Alterra Cafes. They also have a drink card if you purchase brewed coffee to drink there.

Is This Your Husband's Card? Could I See Some I.D.?
Yesterday, I caught a bit of Mark Belling's show. He was talking about needing a photo ID to make a bank transaction. That got me thinking about how many times I need to show my drivers license more than the average person.
Because of my name, when I use my credit card I frequently am asked,
Memorial Day Traditions
Do you have Memorial Day traditions? Actually, we don't. July 4th seems to have its usual rhythm: Brookfield parade or auto show at Holz in the morning and fireworks at Elm Grove Park in the evening. But somehow with Memorial Day nothing has clicked.
Maybe this year we will catch the 10:30 AM parade in Elm Grove since we live close by. There is also that wreath ceremony at a Civil War Soldier's grave at Oak Hill Cemetery. I noticed at the Elm Grove Library a flier for a pre-parade pancake breakfast at the Elm Grove Women's Club. These are at least some Memorial Day options. What I don't like to see are holidays that become just an excuse for retailers to hold special sales.
Anyone ever try Garlic Mustard pesto?
A reader (mikeyd) left a comment a few weeks ago on Garlic Mustard. He/she? included this link and said they were going to make some. Has anyone else ever tried this? http://www.grist.org/advice/chef/2008/05/15/?source=daily
Invasion of the Garden Snatchers!
Yikes, Garlic Mustard can really take over a sector of a yard in no time flat.
I noticed a plant or two over the fence in my neighbor's yard. I thought the plants were from my surprise interlopers from last year so I thought the decent thing to do was offer to pull them.
Randy Melchert To Run For 24th Assembly District
Here is a little news for residents to our north, Randy Melchert* is running for State Assembly, 24th District. That area starts just north of Lisbon Road on up to Pioneer Road and from 124th St. west to Hillside Road and includes Butler, Menomonee Falls (most), Germantown, Hubertus and Colgate.
Suzanne Jeskewitz, the current area's representative, announced earlier this month that she would not be running again.

You Can't Wash Your Car But The Car Wash Can?
It is watering restriction season for Waukesha County, but in Brookfield, lawn watering, pool filling, and car washing* is restricted whether you are on a private well or municipal water every day of the year.
Somehow I was under the assumption that if one had a private well they were exempt from the watering restrictions. Many people on municipal water kept their private wells for watering and car washing purposes. I also thought there was a season to water restrictions. Not so. All Brookfield residents are under the restrictions all of the time: (My emphasis)
Ryan's "Roadmap For America" Ensures Easy Travel For ALL Generations
If you've ever planned a road trip, mapping your route ahead of time makes a big difference: which way will allow you to travel with the least amount of traffic, major city rush hours, or road construction? Often a little planning ahead can save hours being stuck in a traffic jam. Certainly there is no sense to chart a course leading to a bridge closed for repairs. No reasonable person would say, the only bridge ahead is closed, but we'll make such good time before the bridge, we'll pick that route anyway.
Yet this is what our government is doing by ignoring the coming Social Security/Medicare crisis. Politicians don't want to deal with that reality. They know it is going bankrupt, but their attitude is, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. "There is a growing, bipartisan consensus about the greatest threat to our nation's long-term economic prosperity: the explosion of entitlement spending." (Ryan)
Last week, Congressman Paul Ryan proposed his "Roadmap for America"--a very practical and pretty painless way to shore up Social Security, Medicare, and the tax code. Ryan is planning the future path for America that allows us to make good time and still cross that bridge in the future, and he does it without massive tax increases. He said in an interview:
Have Mayapples, Will Travel
One of the great things about gardening is that there are usually plants to share with others. If a specimen is doing well, invariably there will come a time when it needs dividing or thinning. Sometimes a particular plant does a little too well and spreads itself to places you don't want it. That is when your garden clean up can be another gardener's boon.
Last year a friend in my neighborhood mentioned she wanted to start some Mayapples. Since I really hate to see someone spend their money on plants that are so prolific*, I mentioned I had some and would share some when I had a chance. This spring I dug a few out for her so she could get a patch started.

What is Automotive Weatherstripping and where is it Located?
Automotive weatherstripping, also commonly referred to as weatherstrips, weather seals, or just seals, plays a major role in sealing the inside of your vehicle and keeping it protected from all of the various outside elements like rain, snow, dirt, wind and other debris. Weatherstrips are made of a rubber material and seal all of the edges of your car or truck's doors, windows, windshield, trunk, hood, etc, so that nothing can enter the vehicle or get out through the gaps. They are most commonly held into place using one or a combination of these items, depending on the application: weatherstrip adhesive, clips, glue, screws and pressure.
There are many different types of weather seals available for automobiles these days and that's because, over the past 100 years, all kinds of makes and models have rolled off of the assembly lines. The type and location of weatherstripping on a vehicle is dependent on the particular make and model. Generally speaking, a car or truck will at the very least have door, window, windshield, roof, trunk / rear hatch / tailgate and some type of body weatherstripping. To learn more, here is an in-depth guide that provides details on most of the different types of weatherstripping you will find on cars and trucks these days.
When Are Replacement Weatherstrips Needed?
Replacing worn weatherstrips is crucial for everything from giving your classic car or truck that like new appearance, to keeping the interior of your daily driver dry.

Despite achieving an impressive amount of individual accolades during his career, Derek Jeter is still only concerned about one thing: winning. Jeter continues to embody the ultimate professional for the New York Yankees and while he's clearly one of the best hitters in the game, nobody could have predicted he'd continually step up, season after season. After leading the league in hitting throughout 2012, Jeter's made a strong case for the coveted MVP award even at age 37. Both his ability to hit consistently and play great defense for the Bronx Bombers provides the Yankees with ultimate stability on a game-to-game basis and Jeter has no trouble answering the playoff call either. Derek is well known for his spectacular postseason play where he clearly works hard every game, trying to get the Yankees to compete for a 6th World Series title during his tenure. Maybe the most impressive feat of Derek's career has been his brilliance in staying out of media scandals in the fishbowl that is New York. As the face of the most popular franchise in Major League Baseball Derek has conducted himself flawlessly on the field and off and continues to be role model for young players today.
Commemorate Derek's illustrious career and shop Pro Sports Memorabilia for the ultimate selection of Derek Jeter authentic autographed memorabilia and collectibles. All of our signed Derek Jeter memorabilia comes from official autograph sessions that we participated in or from a select group of respected suppliers in the industry including Steiner Sports and Mounted Memories.
