Skip to comments.Stars collide: Michele Bachmann vs. Sarah Palin
Posted on 06/08/2011 4:46:53 AM PDT by Hawk720
[snip beginning of article]
... Ed Rollins, dismissed Palin as not serious in a radio interview.
He suggested in an interview with POLITICO that Bachmann would profit from the contrast.
Bachmann will be so much more substantive, Rollins said. People are going to say, I gotta make a choice and go with the intelligent woman whos every bit as attractive.
Im not afraid of Palin, he said, adding the strategy would have been the same for Mike Huckabee.
Bachmann has been laying the groundwork for this argument for months, stepping away from some of the more dramatic rhetoric that brought her to prominence in the heady, early days of the Tea Party movement, and making a case more focused on the nuts and bolts of policy and on the unabashed social conservatism that has served many candidates well in they key early state of Iowa. She has been tightening her focus as Palin offers herself as an increasingly high-profile, if unfocused, cultural celebrity with an East Coast bus tour last week and a laudatory new movie set for release.
Aides to Palin didnt respond to inquiries about Rollins comments, but a writer on the blog that serves as her supporters main voice, Conservatives4Palin, demanded that the Minnesota congresswoman either affirm her support for the long-time beltway fossils idiotic comments or refudiate them.
While Bachmann may find some advantages in a contrast with Palin, its an approach that could easily backfire. Palin remains broadly popular with the conservative voters who will decide the Republican nomination, and her endorsement will be avidly sought if she doesnt run.

Ed Rollins is one BIG A** Mistake Mrs. Bachmann!
Mission complete.
If Bachmann does not fire misogynist Rollins THIS MORNING
every bit of good will she has earned
.... will be gone forever (as Team Romney planned).
Attention GOP Conservative Candidates - the enemy is primarily Ma0bama and his band of socialists, and secondarily the squishy GOP Establishment moderates. NOT each other! Just damn.
MB is a stalking horse for RINO-Romney and seeking to be his VP nominee.
MB is NOT to be trusted.
I like Michelle and would work for her.
Ed rollins is a slimey, beltway turd that should be flushed and kept out of any pubbie candidate's campaign.
Hey Ed, why don't you direct that criticism in the direction of the jug-eared marxist wannabe tyrant instead of toward the other Rebublican candidates, you dumba$$.
That one little phrase tells us all we need to know about this man! It's not about YOU, Mr. Rollins. It's about the candidate you are supposed to represent. If you can't set aside your personal love of self long enough to act in your candidate's best interest then she's better off without you.
I put this man in the same category I put Karl Rove, yesterday's news and talent.
Ms. Bachmann will be making a huge mistake if she doesn't give this guy the boot post haste.
Agree! She needs to fix this today. And YES, I believe this one is on Bachman. This is hers to fix, not Palins
They're not even in the same league.
I will vote for anyone that the GOP puts up against dear leader but I cannot honestly say that I will be glad if it turns out to be either of these two.
Says a LOT about her judgement.
I certainly won't defend what Rollins said and he needs to be taken to the woodshed for them, BUT the only purpose of Politico is to stir up trouble. I'm sure Ben Smith or whoever wrote the article is sitting back with the popcorn as we speak.
(RINO-backstabber poser Bachmanm):
"Oh, how I love you, Mitt.
Treat me like Kerry Healy. Or the Maucks."
If Sarah breaks my Heart and doesn't run. I figure Michelle would benefit the most.
She is off my list except against Obama where everyone is alive.
Why would Palin have to fix anything? It appears that all of these comments were made yesterday. For all we know Bachmann has already had words with Rollins. But if this is her strategy I think it's unwise and very unfortunate.
Aye !
Communists are in control, Ed. Direct fire towards them !
Thank the Lord. We have two great conservative ladies in Michele and Sarah.
Bachmann was to suppose to be at least not in the camp of the establishment; she is now, with this hire and so far no public remark admonishing Rollins yet. The same people that might support MB loves or at least greatly respect Sarah, this is a foolish stragedty
Sexist and condescending...
BTW, nothing about Mrs. Bachmann's legislative accomplishments.
Rollins gave Politico words to stir up trouble. This is on Rollins not Politico!!! YES, MSM will take anything and run but we should not give it to them. Rollins is a POS.
If Palin throws her hat in the ring, she simultaneously will throw Bachmann's hat out.
Ah, yo Ed—"The Sarah is dumb" train has long since come and gone. Where were you and Michelle when Palin—without benefit of anything more than Twitter—was taking the Marxist Onada head on with substantive criticism?
You are a fossil who's come way too late to the game—and will leave it early. My esteem of Bachman plunged with her decision to hire you as her campaign manager. Do her a favor and go away. Surely you can find something constructive to do with Rove—the other RINO fossil.
Exactly. But this was stupid because Palin is not even a candidate and it's not 100% certain she will be. Will be interesting to see what other campaigns do. Tim Pawlenty is the only one who has come close saying last week we need to stop talking about bus tours. I'm sure he's not happy because he's trying to get his name out there and all the oxygen is being sucked up by Palin's 'not a campaign' bus tour.
I'm not defending Rollins. I thought what he did was boneheaded. But I don't trust Politico's motives either. They hate Palin as much as they hate Bachmann. Same with the Daily Caller which first reported on this yesterday.
Who's fault is that? If Tim had any charisma to overcome his low name recognition, he will be doing very well but as it's stands he doesn't but your gal is blowing this up and you still try to defend her when she needs to get rid of Rollins because no matter what she says apologetic to Sarah, if she keeps him, a group of people who may support MB will not in the future
I saw what Rollins said on Chris Matthews! He is in attack mode, this is legit
Hiring Rollins is pretty strong evidence that MB is not ready to make executive decisions. Her first executive decision was probably the worst decision of her soon to be over political career.
The only way she can save it will be to fire Rollins today and apologize to Palin. Now is the time to make a tough and decisive executive decision.
If Bachmann is a Freeper, then the comments on these threads should scare her to death. She is just about to lose her entire base and Rollins is no friend of hers.
Nice goin' Bachmann, hiring that dirt bag, did you forget who who had your back in 2010?
As far as 'my gal' blowing up, most news outlets aren't even reporting on her or this story. The only people who even know (or care) about it are political junkies. I'm sure the average joe out there could give a sh*t less what some aide said about Sarah Palin.
Thank you. Don't let Politico (or any other MSM) try to make this out to be a catfight. I want a Tea Party minded erson for the candidate. Michelle Bachman suits me just fine. Not Mitt, not Newt, not Santorum. Maybe they can work their way on to the ticket. ..but I want OUR voices in there. Michelle and Herman Cain would suit me just fine.
To be clear, I am only addressing those candidates who have declared.
I agree with you completely!
Palin has always been my first choice but I never thouht badly of Bachmann........until now.
She's just letting herself be used and it won't end up well for her.
BTW Romney, we will never vote for you!
Michele in a pic with Romney proves nothing. You can post it a trillion times...it still proves nothing.
She's mistaken for hiring Rollins. It's almost a sick joke it's so mistaken. However, there are no facts in evidence to tie this to your belief that she does this to become Romney's vp. There's plenty, plenty of common sense reasoning against it.
If the goal is to hurt Sarah to Romney's advantage...the exact opposite is what happens. This hurts Michele, not Sarah. So it helps Romney in what way, that Rollins targets Sarah on behalf of Michele, which succeeds only - and completely predictably - in bolstering Sarah? Even people who don't support Sarah but support someone else, are offended by this.
From an issues standpoint it makes zero sense. Romney endorses global warning, Romneycare etc. These are what Michele fights against in Congress. She is tea party to the core. Romney is anti tea party to the core. She knows that, because it is impossible not to know that.
This is so boneheaded...if Michele allows this to stand, then I will say she is politically ignorant and tone deaf. She survives in her district but knows nothing at all - and is loaded with misconceptions - about a national race.
Rollins statement was "Sexist and condescending...""nothing about Mrs. Bachmann's legislative accomplishments."
Precisely. If Bachmann doesn't recognize this type of support isn't going to give her the following she deserves, and immediately fires him, then she will loose the primary.
I like her, but his tactic is diminishing my support for her campaign. He is a liability. Dump him, Michelle.
Just because A is true doesn't automatically make B true. Just because this is stupid politics doesn't make her be doing this to become Romney's vp. My post to that point appears immediately following yours. And your post as well as many others proves the point.
The fact MB has NOT refuted Rollins' comments speaks volumes of her intentions. And we are now in the second day.
MB remains the official stalking horse for myth romney and she has sold her soul to be his VP nominee to capture the conservative vote.
The repeat of JuanMcCain/Palin - RINO+Conservative.
And we know how THAT turned out - this would be worse with a full bore liberal as GOP nominee.
Bachmann is not an announced candidate yet! And the bigger issue is why is she attacking someone (Sarah) who isn't a candidate? Her contrast should be on especially Tim or Mitt who have announced
Lets see what kind of political genius Rollins is:
This kind of stuff is all over the internet. Her husband's business is taxpayer supported. And evidently, those funds are used to "talk" people out of homosexuality.
Regardless of the topic at hand, does anyone honestly believe that this is a good issue for MB? Remember, this is someone who is willing to pander for ethanol subsidies but to remove all kinds of entitlements for everyone else.
What a dope.
See my #39 post
I think she should run on her list of magnificent & significant legislative accomplishments, along with her leadership of all the important committees that she heads.
MB is a second rate Ron Paul in a skirt.
Without the gold.
i really do think Romney has promised her the veep slot, he wants that elusive conservative vote, and MB might be thinking she'll have more say as veep on policy so as to justify teaming up w/the slimeball.
Go over and look at her FB page. LOL
S he was getting raked over the coals for hiring Rollins and his trash talk!
I think Bachmann will be forced to do something now. MSNBC is reporting on it now that it's made the front page of Politico (they get all their news from Politico). As far as not a word from Palin why would she say anything. It's in her interest to stay mum and if it does spiral out of control let Bachmann hang herself.
The fact she hasn't refuted it only proves that politically she doesn't know what she's doing. It's just politically stupid.
Again, you can repeat ten trillion times that she is a stalking horse trying to become Romney's vp, and you can post a picture 100 trillion times and your posts prove nothing at all about your belief that she does this for Romney.
It's brain dead stuff.
My post to you thinks it through and makes the case that she isn't doing it for Romney. It doesn't help her or Romney for Rollins to ham-handedly attack Sarah. It hurts Michele badly. People sympathize with Sarah. A child could figure that one out. Further, Michele despises everything RINO Romney stands for in terms of Global Warming, Romneycare, etc. She is tea party and he is the anti tea party.
But I repeat myself.
Therefore, I won't bother again to repeat the obvious to someone who posts made up stuff and brain dead stuff and thinks if he posts it enough it will become true.

(I hope I typed in the specs right)
And here is a picture of it's beauty:
Well anyway, that's the most interesting thing that's happening in my life as of this moment.
I lost a tooth.
For the last 3 hours or so I have been trying to make a youtube account without a phone number, which is now a impassable requirement, and sadly I don't own one, but luckily I learned you can bypass it with GC, unfortunately I only have Opera atm, but I don't feel like downloading it right now, so I'll put that off till tomorrow I guess.
I reached 1000 posts
Today did not go as planned unfortunately, firstly had a horrific half lucid nightmare/dream, (aka I could control all of my actions consciously, but I could not control the situation, or wake myself up) where I was a mildly deformed child crawling on floor in the darkness as a man slowly trailed behind me laughing. After that I woke up completely exhausted as if I hadn't slept at all. And of course it was one of those days where every muscle in your body seems to hurt a little, and your legs just don't wanna go anywhere, I had mild heart pains during the afternoon. And it seemed everyone had a nasty attitude today, and one of my teachers wrongly accused me of doing something, friends were kinda jerks, and it seemed like everyone else just had no time, pushing, shoving.
But it could of gone worse a lot worse, and the day is almost done, so I guess I'm still pretty lucky.
Nothing much.

Debby Ferguson This is the story of my journey into the Past. Deborah Forrest Fraga Ferguson This is the story of my journey into the Past. Born Deborah Forrest, Then through marriage #1, I became Deborah Fraga, 3 children where born of this union, Joseph Edward Fraga,Kimberly Elizabeth Fraga and Nelson Edward Fraga, Then through marriage #2- I am Deborah Ferguson,there were no children from this union} For many years I believed that my Great Grand Mother was a full blooded Lakota woman. I came to this believe from hearing stories and family members talking about her. My sister was once told that she was Just some woman from the Black Hills. My sister had told me that she had heard that our Grand Parents often went west to visit family. Although my mother never told me that her Grand Mother was Lakota ,She said That her Grand Mother was a Native women but never mentioned where she was from. My Grand mother Anna and my mother both did not have white skin ,this is one of the reasons I can't understand what I later discovered. I can remember my mom sending money to the Lakota people when I was a child. Perhaps that is what lead me to believe that My Great Grand Mother was Lakota. Now in my 54th year of life I have been drawn to search for the truth of my family roots. I embarked on a 12 hour a day search journey that lasted for several months. After reading and comparing hundreds of records and spending about $350.00 I found my Great Grand Mothers Records. Much to my surprise she was not Lakota . It was through my research that I discovered where the Lakota beliefs came from, It was my uncle Theodore ,who was my mothers half brother, his father was Lakota and he had gone west and married a Lakota woman. I kept the records on this. I already knew that my Great Grand father was born in Nova Scotia and his name was William A. Corbett. He married Margaret B. Oliver in Massachusetts in the year 1877. I have there marriage record. Margaret or as he called her Maggie had listed on her daughter Anna's birth record that she was born in Ireland, two weeks before Anna's birth she listed on a Massachusetts 1880 Census that she was born in Nova Scotia Canada,There are several records that list different places of birth on her. On her Marriage record she lists her place of birth as Scotland with parents listed as George and Isabella Oliver.There is a 1861Scotland Census record with these names on it. I do not know if this is correct. Part of the Oliver family is listed on the 1871 Mic-Mac Nova Scotia Indian Census records and there are other Oliver family members who are buried in the Indian Point Cemetery in Nova Scotia.The Oliver family name is also on the Massachusetts Nipmuc Indian record. On June 17,1880 William and Maggie where Blessed with the birth of my Grand Mother, Annie Elizabeth Corbett ,born June 17,1880 in Boston.The listing of Boston included all surrounding areas at that time. As Annie grew up she called herself Anna E. Corbett . She put herself through Nursing school and was a great herbal healer. I can remember her tending her herb gardens when I visited as a child. Anna,my Grandmother and Mary ,my mother both had slightly darker skin tones. In Sharon, Mass. In the year 1905 Anna E. Corbett married Whittemore Irving of N.B. Canada. Shortly after there marriage they changed my uncle Theodores {Anna's first child} last name form Corbett to Irving. My Grand Father was often called Thomas Whittemore Irving .Perhaps he did this because the children from his first marriage at this time were all adults that lived in Canada and he was starting a new family. His first wife was deceased as his marriage record to Anna states that he was a Widower. Whittemore's parents where John Irving of N.B. Canada and Margaret Burton of N.B. Canada. Margaret Burton was a Native Indian woman,she is listed on the student rolls of a Indian Reservation School in Canada. She must have been the Grandmother that my mother said was an Indian and we all thought she was talking about her mothers mother when it was her fathers mother. On the 17 Of October 1917 Anna and Whittemore Irving were blessed with the birth of Mary Emeline Irving, my mother. Mary also had slightly darker skin tones but was always listed as white. She to became a nurse. Mary married John Everett Forrest , my dad ABT.1936-7 in Rhode Island,U.S.A.this was her first marriage ,his second,he had no children from his first marriage. I was the youngest child of 5 , that were born of this union {MaryAnn, Sylvia, John Jr., Sandra,and {Me} Deborah}, John had another daughter, my half sister, named Joan Forrest. Joan was born from a unwed relationship with her mother.My father in his younger years had a very serious alcoholic drinking problem ,my older sisters have many of there own stories to tell ,I was fortunate enough to be born after he had stopped drinking ,so my experiences in growing up are quite different from theres. John Everett Forrest, my father, was born on Economy Mountain in Nova Scotia Canada in 1908/9. He was the youngest of 5 children and only son of Flora Hervey Drake of Sharon, Massachusetts and James Willis Forrest of Nova Scotis,Canada. John Came to the United States in 1912 with his parents after there house on Economy mountain was struck by lightening and burned to the ground. This is when they moved back to Massachusetts when again there house burned do to a stove fire .After this second fire in Stoughton the children were told their mother died of a Heart Attack and their father went out West ,this was not True.John { my dad } became a ward of the state and later went to live with his older sister Eva Trowbridge and her husband Chase in Stoughton Mass.,His parents moved to Indiana, they are listed on James WW1 service registration card Dated 12 Sept. 1918 in St.Joseph County.James Willis Forrest City: South Bend County: St Joseph State: Indiana Birth Date: 6 Dec 1876 Race: White FHL Roll Number: 1653190 DraftBoard: 2. It also states that he worked for T.S. [ Top Secret] Electric company in Nitro, Kanawha County West Virginia.During World War I the government built an $80 million complex in Nitro to manufacture explosives and chemicals for the war effort. Shortly after That Flora disappears from the records. There is a head stone in the Deborah Sampson Cemetary, on the corner of Mountain Rd,in Sharon Mass. that has Floras name on it. James appears in West Virginia married to Mable.They are listed on the 1930 census last name missed spelled Farest should say Forrest.They are also mentioned in The Charleston Daily Mail News paper, West Virginia .as Mr and Mrs James W. Forrest. My dad had a love for the Sea and wanted to enroll in the Massachusetts Maritime Academy.The Academy required that one be a citizen of the United States and he was not. Not knowing what to do because of the short time he had to summit his application he asked my grandmother , Anna E. Irving if she would help him out and she agreed to.They went to the town hall in Sharon Massachusetts were she swore that she was present at his birth in Sharon, Mass. On January 27,1909.They accepted her word and listed dads birth as being in Sharon, Mass., and gave him a copy of the record to summit with his school application. He was excepted into the Massachusetts Maritime Academy were he graduated as a Lutenent Commander First class . His journeys took him all over the World. I have many wonderful memories of times spent with my dad. I remember going with my mom to pick him up at the Quincy Ship Yard. He and I also had taken a complete tour of The Massachusetts Maritime Academy that he had attended.My Dad and I traveled to Nova Scotia ,three times where he showed me where be was born and I met many of my Nova Scotia relatives. He taught me how to survey land and we did a surveying job together.My Uncle Chase and Dad also taught me the ways of the forest and how to track animals.We also had a small farm in Sharon, Mass. And had many horses over the course on years.By the age of 16, I had won a wall full of trophies and ribbons from showing my horses. I took them and had them re-labeled to give to the children of My 4-H horse club at a horse show I put on for them. My Dad also worked for the Emerson and Cummings Company in Canton Mass..My sister Sandy and I would often go with him on his company security checks. Emerson and Cummings was a Government contracted Company that did TOP SEACRET government Space research. This was back in the nineteen sixties. My dad would explain to us about Lazar research, Space fabric, satellite parts and the research that his company was working on. He even brought home the mannequin that wore the space suits when they were testing Ruby Lazar guns . We named him Charley.There are so many stories perhaps some day I will get a chance to write about them. Next I began to research his parents. His mother, Flora Hervey Drake was a Direct decedent of William Drake Esquire, the brother of Sire Francis Drake, according to the records. Although my Dad always said he was a direct decedent of Sire Francis himself. My Dad gave me The Family Drake Bible Dated in the early Seventeen Hundreds , it was singed by Drake family members in there own blood. In the Nineteen Seventies I entrusted it into the care of The Kingdom Hall, a church in Stoughton Mass. For save keeping. Unfortunately when I asked for it's return they could not find it and no one knew what I was talking about,how sad. The Drake family sub-lines also married into the Wampanoag indian people. My Dad , through his Grand Mother Josephine Hervey Drake was a direct decedent of Francis Cook ,who is on the May Flower Passenger list. My Dads fathers name was James Willis Forrest, The name Forrest came to him through adoption by Ester Forrest, of Nova Scotia Canada, in 1882. Before this date all his records have the last name of his birth mother Emma Corbett ,{James Willis Corbett }James being the result of a unwed relationship, his birth record has no first name on it, Listed in the Nova Scotia search engine as ___ Corbet , the record says illegitimate Corbet, Born 5 Dec. 1876 {although James always put his birth date Dec. 6, 1876}, his father was listed as =Aldoris S. Indian of S_____? Mass. , mother = E. Corbet of Economy,Five Islands , Nova Scotia. [James married Flora H. Drake in 1899 in Sharon Mass.] James father was mistakenly listed as Aldoris Forrest on there marriage record. Perhaps the minister thought this looked better if the names matched. His real name was Aldoris Slade. The name Aldoris was missed spelled his real name was Eldoras Slade, B: Swanzey, In 1857 Record #105 188 Birth,Mass, vital records. Emma Corbett never married but Eldoras Slade did and had children.The Slade family of Fall River is on the Wampanoag Census records.This was no suprise to me, my dad had always told us his Grand-father was a Wampanoag Indian and in the course of my researching I came across a photo of Sarah Slade ,James looked just like her. When I was young my parents told me they found out that they were related after comparing family Histories. I wanted to know how and started a search for this information.This is what I found, Emma Corbett ,James Willis Forrest birth mother { my Father's Grand- Mother} and William A. Corbett {My mother's Grand-Father}, were brother and sister, per Nova Scotia Census. through the Corbett line my parents were Second cousins. This is the story of my research up to today , 8 July 2008. I am still working on these records. {updated 25 August 2010 } Deborah {Forrest} Fraga / Ferguson

Debby Ferguson My journey into family Genealogy. I have be on many quest in my life but this quest to discover the truth about my family has been a long hard road for me.I have learned many things along the way .Much to my surprise the trip was much harder than I ever imagined . But armed with a passion for the truth I steadfastly continued and was able to prove what my family oral history had told me was correct. I also learned that the record keepers of many Government branches need to go back to school and learned how to correctly record information.Many seasoned genealogist warned me about this and I ,myself found it to be very true. Names spelled wrong, Dates recorded incorrectly,thing erased from original records,where you can see only part of what was there.And of course they all want money ,money ,money.Then there are the old Native records that only part if the original can be read and what is readable is guessed at by the people transcribing them. I have to wonder how any tribe could turn someone away when so many records that they have are incorrect or refashioned by the transcribers. Then I had to deal with the adoption of my grandfather,which is not relevant to my blood line but does explain were my maiden name came from. I quickly discovered not to look for Native names because they are 98% recorded as just plane old English or other nationalities . I also learned one should never judge anyones Native connection based on there name and that family oral tradition is far more accurate than Government records. My biggest regret is not asking my older relatives about these things when they were still here ,this is such an important thing to do and so often pushed aside thinking that one can address this at a future date and before you know it they have crossed over and there priceless knowledge is gone. So ,listen,record and stay connected to your elders right now ,don't put it off.And don't forget to share you life stories with you children , nieces ,nephews , and have them write them down for there children.I also put mine on the web so that any of my family that I may not know can have the knowledge. Surprisingly, I have heard from some one researching the same family. Finally,don't forget the sub lines of your family,so many people just research the family name line ,when so much more is revealed in the lines the wives families and ever generation going backwards in your chart has these lines.

The Count: Real-Time Cinderella Handicapping
Here's a novel way to follow college-basketball conference tournaments and March Madness: with a Web site that tells you, throughout the game, how likely each team is to win.
In January, Brian Burke of Advanced NFL Stats developed a system for doing just that for National Football League games. He based the calculator on analysis of actual in-game situations and which team went on to win. Now he's unveiled a similar calculator for college basketball, and is posting in-game win probabilities in real time, based on just the score and time remaining. The model is relatively simple. It doesn't take into account the strength of the teams coming into the game, possession of the ball or whether teams have committed enough fouls for a free-throw-shooting bonus. Still, it's a useful general guide to how a game will turn out, and more generalized than Bill James's proposed system for calculating whether a given lead is "safe."
Number crunchers have developed similar calculators for Major League Baseball. These efforts do more than help fans decide when to take a bathroom break — they can help determine how a given player's action affects win probability, and pave the way for stats that account for the importance of, say, points scored rather than just the number of points scored.
Consider this an open call for a similar calculator for soccer: Both so that we can better evaluate players, and so that ESPN's Champions League announcers will stop describing goals and potential goals as "clinchers" early in the second half. Have they heard of Liverpool-Milan?

Giants End Bears' Unbeaten Run With 10 Sacks in Win: NFL Week 4
The New York Giants totaled 10 quarterback sacks in a 17-3 win over the Chicago Bears that leaves one undefeated team in the National Football League.
Ahmad Bradshaw rushed for 131 yards and a touchdown for the Giants, who knocked Bears quarterback Jay Cutler out of the game with nine first-half sacks last night at New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
"We have outstanding pass-rushers and the ability to get to the quarterback on every play," said defensive end Osi Umenyiora, who had a team-high three sacks. "As soon as we limited their running attack, we knew we were going to get after (Cutler) and I think we did a pretty good job of that."
Chicago, which was among three unbeaten teams entering Week 4 of the NFL season, fell to 3-1. The Pittsburgh Steelers were also denied a 4-0 start, losing at home 17-14 to the Baltimore Ravens on an 18-yard touchdown by T.J. Houshmandzadeh with 32 seconds left. The 3-0 Kansas City Chiefs, who were off this week, are now the NFL's lone unbeaten team.
The Giants improved to 2-2 with last night's win and move into a tie atop NFC East Division with the Washington Redskins, who defeated the Eagles 17-12 yesterday in Donovan McNabb's return to Philadelphia. McNabb, who played his first 11 NFL seasons with the Eagles, got a standing ovation during pre-game introductions at Lincoln Financial Field.
Washington ended its two-game losing skid, while the Eagles lost for the first time in three starts after quarterback Michael Vick left the game with a rib injury.
Jets' Rout
The New York Jets pushed their winning streak to three games by beating the Buffalo Bills 38-14 behind two touchdowns apiece by Dustin Keller and LaDainian Tomlinson.
The Super Bowl-champion New Orleans Saints beat the winless Carolina Panthers 16-14 behind 46-year-old kicker John Carney, while Josh Scobee booted a 59-yard field goal as time expired to earn the Jacksonville Jaguars a 31-28 defeat of the Indianapolis Colts.
At New Meadowlands Stadium, the Giants limited the Bears to 22 yards of offense during the first half and Cutler didn't return after halftime because of a concussion. Six Giants defenders had sacks during the first two quarters.
Cutler's replacement, Todd Collins, left the game after a hard hit in the fourth quarter. New York's sack total was two short of the NFL record.
The Giants were nursing a 3-0 lead until Bradshaw scored on a three-yard run with 2:58 remaining in the third quarter. Brandon Jacobs added a two-yard touchdown run with 4:38 left in the fourth quarter after the Bears pulled within 10-3.
McNabb's Reception
McNabb, 33, said he hoped to hear some cheers upon his return to Philadelphia and was greeted with an ovation when he was introduced before the game.
He had a 92-49-1 record and took the Eagles to the conference championship five times, yet was often criticized by the city's fans for failing to win a Super Bowl title.
The Philadelphia crowd booed McNabb when he threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Chris Cooley to give the Redskins a 14-0 first-quarter lead.
Vick left the game after getting injured on a quarterback run on the next-to-last play of the opening quarter. Vick had led the Eagles to consecutive wins after replacing the injured Kevin Kolb during a Week 1 loss. Kolb completed 22 of 35 passes for 201 yards, one touchdown and an interception.
After Kolb's pass into the Redskins' end zone was intercepted on the game's final play, Eagles coach Andy Reid hugged McNabb at midfield.
"I was kind of overwhelmed," McNabb said about the reception in Philadelphia. "When you come back to a place where you played so long and gave so much for, to get received like that, it says a lot."
Tomlinson's Game
In Orchard Park, New York, Tomlinson topped 100 yards rushing for the first time since 2007 as the Jets sent the Bills to their first 0-4 start in six years.
Tomlinson ran for 133 yards while Shonn Greene added 117 rushing yards for the Jets, who have won three in a row since an opening-week loss to the Ravens.
"They knew we were coming in to run the football and we still ran for 273 yards," Jets coach Rex Ryan said during a news conference.
Elsewhere in Week 4, it was Atlanta 16, San Francisco 14; Cleveland 23, Cincinnati 20; St. Louis 20, Seattle 3; Denver 26, Tennessee 20; San Diego 41, Arizona 10; Houston 31, Oakland 24; and Green Bay 28, Detroit 26.
The New England Patriots visit the Miami Dolphins tonight. Kansas City, Dallas, Minnesota and Tampa Bay were off this week.

Funerals honor victims of Slim Jim plant explosion
Published: Sunday, June 14, 2009 at 8:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 14, 2009 at 8:19 p.m.
GARNER, N.C. (AP) Family and friends are honoring the lives of three co-workers killed in an explosion at a Slim Jim processing plant.
WRAL-TV reported that hundreds gathered Sunday for the funerals of 43-year-old Barbara McLean Spears and 67-year-old Rachel Mae Poston Pulley. A funeral service for 33-year-old Louis Junior Watson is scheduled for Monday.
The three were killed in an explosion last week that federal investigators blamed on a natural gas leak. The blast knocked down an exterior wall and parts of the roof in the sprawling facility. Dozens were injured, and four of them remain in critical condition with extensive burns.
Both federal and state agencies continue to investigate the cause of the explosion.

Cy Parks is the Electric Michelangelo, an artist of extraordinary gifts whose medium happens to be the pliant, shifting canvas of the human body. Fleeing his mother's legacy a consumptives' hotel in a fading English seaside resort Cy reinvents himself in the incandescent honky-tonk of Coney Island in its heyday between the two world wars. Amid the carnival decadence of freak shows and roller coasters, enchanters and enigmas, scam artists and marks, Cy will find his muse: an enigmatic circus beauty who surrenders her body to his work, but whose soul tantalizingly eludes him.This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.
Editorial Reviews
In the 1920s, Morecambe Bay, a small English coastal town, was renowned, at least locally, for the purity and restorative powers of its air, taken regularly as a curative by the tourists who filled its hotels and restaurants. Young Cyril Parks resides there with his mother, a widow whose seaside resort becomes a haven for consumptives -- mostly men who've spent a lifetime in the mines and who now seek only a few moments of fresh air and relaxation.
From this landscape, The Electric Michelangelo, a finalist for the Booker Prize, tells the story of Cy, starting with his bleak childhood and his apprenticeship with a local tattoo artist whose capacity for drunken rages is matched only by his gift with the needle. Newly skilled, Cy departs for America and sets up shop on the Coney Island boardwalk, where he meets the enigmatic Grace, a circus performer who offers Cy his most bizarre commission yet. What transpires between them as Cy slowly transforms her entire body into a living work of art is a little like love, and new to a man who has always found contentment in solitude.
A magical pastiche of eccentric characters and colorful times, The Electric Michelangelo seduces with its detail and atmosphere. In her American debut, Hall has created a world as mesmerizing and it is unforgettable. (Holiday 2005 Selection)

Chapter One
If the eyes could lie, his troubles might all be over. If the eyes were not such well-behaving creatures, that spent their time trying their best to convey the world and all its gore to him, good portions of life might not be so abysmal. This very moment, for instance, as he stood by the hotel window with a bucket in his hands listening to Mrs Baxter coughing her lungs up, was about to deteriorate into something nasty, he just knew it, thanks to the eyes and all their petty, nit-picking honesty. The trick of course was to not look down. The trick was to concentrate and pretend to be observing the view or counting seagulls on the sill outside. If he kept his eyes away from what he was carrying they would not go about their indiscriminating business, he would be spared the indelicacy of truth, and he would not get that nauseous feeling, his hands would not turn cold and clammy and the back of his tongue would not begin to pitch and roll.
He looked up and out to the horizon. The large, smeary bay window revealed a desolate summer scene. The tide was a long way out, further than he could see, so as far as anyone knew it was just gone for good and had left the town permanently inland. It took a lot of trust to believe the water would ever come back each day, all that distance, it seemed like an awful amount of labour for no good reason. The whole dirty, grey-shingled beach was now bare, except for one or two souls out for a stroll, and one or two hardy sunbathers, in their two-shilling-hire deck-chairs, determined to make the most of their annual holiday week away from the mills, the mines and the foundries of the north. A week to take in the bracing salty air and perhaps, if they were blessed, the sun would make a cheerful appearance and rid them of their pallor. A week to remove all the coal and metal dust and chaff and smoke from their lungs and to be a consolation for their perpetual poor health, the chest diseases they would eventually inherit and often die from, the shoddy eyesight, swollen arthritic fingers, allergies, calluses, deafness, all the squalid cousins of their trade. One way to tell you were in this town, should you ever forget where you were, should you ever go mad and begin not to recognize the obvious scenery, the hotels, the choppy water, the cheap tea rooms, pie and pea restaurants, fish and chip kiosks, the amusement arcades, and the dancehalls on the piers, one way to verify your location was to watch the way visitors breathed. There was method to it. Deliberation. They put effort into it. Their chests rose and fell like furnace bellows. So as to make the most of whatever they could snort down into them.
There was a wet cough to the left of him, prolonged, meaty, ploughing through phlegm, he felt the enamel basin being tugged from his hands and then there was the sound of spitting and throat clearing. And then another cough, not as busy as the last, but thorough. His eyes flickered, involuntarily. Do not look down, he thought. He sighed and stared outside. The trick was to concentrate and pretend he was looking out to sea for herring boats and trawlers returning from their 150-mile search, pretend his father might come in on one of them, seven years late and not dead after all, wouldnt that be a jolly thing, even though the sea was empty of boats and ebbing just now. The vessels were presently trapped outside the great bay until the tide came back in. Odd patches of dull shining water rested on the sand and shingle, barely enough to paddle through, let alone return an absent father.
Outside the sky was solidifying, he noticed, as if the windowpane had someones breath on it. A white horse was heading west across the sands with three small figures next to her, the guide had taken the blanket off the mare, the better that she be seen. As if she was a beacon. Coniston Old Man was slipping behind low cloud across the bay as the first trails of mist moved in off the Irish Sea, always the first of the Lake District fells to lose its summit to the weather. So the guide was right to uncover the horse, something was moving in fast and soon would blanket the beach and make it impossible to take direction, unless you knew the route, which few did in those thick conditions. Then youd be stranded and at the mercy of the notorious tide.
-- Grey old day, isnt it, luvvie? Not very pleasant for June.
-- It is, Mrs Baxter. Theres a haar coming in. Shall I be taking this now or will you need it again shortly do you think?
-- No, I feel a bit better, now Im cleared out, you shant be depriving me. And if I need to go again Ill try to make it to the wash room. Youre a very good boy, Cyril Parks, your mammy should be proud to have a pet like you helping her around here. Well spoken and the manners of a prince. Is it a little chilly to have the sash open today, luvvie?
The woman watched him from her chair. She resembled a piece of boiled pork, or blanched cloth, with all her colour removed. Just her mouth remained vivid, saturated by brightness, garish against her skin, and like the inside of a fruit when she spoke, red-ruined, glistening and damp.
-- Yes, Mrs Baxter, Im afraid it is. Would you like some potted shrimp? Mam made it fresh today.
-- Oh yes. That would be lovely. I do so enjoy her potted shrimp, just a touch of nutmeg, not too heavy . . .

this was a WONDERFUL book. i found it by accident, and am now recommending it to EVERYONE. if you have a tattoo, if you've ever considered getting a tattoo, or if you've wondered what the draw to tattooing is...this book gives you the inside look. it's an incredibly moving story and the way it's written makes the reader feel like they are a part of the action, they're watching it all happen first hand. very beautifully written! i swear that i could smell the ocean air and feel the crush of the crowds at coney island while i was reading! i was reading a bit every chance i got...a page here and there on my lunch break, till all hours of the mornings...i couldn't put it down. I LOVED this book.
I consider this book to be a modern classic. It is flawless. This is the sort of writing that seems to be completely devoid of rough drafts. This is the sort of writing that seems as though it simply poured from the core of the author. Every sentence is a little masterpiece. Each page is littered with alliterations, metaphors, imagery, tastes, smells. Positively beautiful.
The beautifully descriptive language haunted me as I read the book and I could not stop thinking about it when I wasn't reading it. The characters are so deep and intriguing -- an English tattoo artist trained by a drunk artistic genius moves to Coney Island and falls in love with a horse-riding circus performer. I haven't read anything this wonderful since Bel Canto.
Your phrase 'one of the most uniquely talented novelists' is absolutely unforgivable misuse of the English language. Something or someone is either unique or is not. There is no degree to unique. One is not most unique or quite unique or mildly unique. Unique is just that. Nothing more. It requires no adjective or superlatives. I should expect better from a publisher, an entity dealing in the buying and selling of words.
I have been reading for years and this is one of the worst books I have ever read. I kept asking myself...'Who cares about any of these characters' and 'why am I wasting my time?' The story never picked up for me. I believe Sarah Hall has talent, albeit misdirected.

on September 4, 2011 - 12:01 AM
I am in traffic court, sitting beside my new personal hero. John Heraty, a 46-year-old social worker from Illinois, has burned two vacation days, flown to Washington on his own dime, and stayed overnight in a hotel, all to challenge a $125 speeding ticket. He invited me to watch.
I am an admirer of the grand, futile gesture -- particularly if it involves Standing Up to The Man. In this case, The Man is not a man at all; John is here to rage against the machine, specifically, a camera that says he was going 36 miles an hour in a 25-mile-an-hour zone while in a rental car on a visit to D.C. in February.
Readers of this column know that I dislike speed cameras to the extent that, were it not for the likelihood of incarceration, I would hunt them all down like snakes and behead them with shovels. John, needless to say, agrees.
"I feel violated," he says. "And my violator has no soul."
Here is what brought John to this place: In Washington, the default speed limit is 25 miles an hour, meaning that any time the city decides it wants to rustle up some extra cash -- or perhaps just because it has prostate problems and is feeling grumpy -- it simply has to set up a speed camera on a street on which no sane person would go as slow as 25 miles an hour.
One example would be the wide stretch of Michigan Avenue NE on which John was popped. Another would be the six-lane highway that is M Street SE, on which I was recently zinged multiple times on successive days, for $125 each, until the snail mail started catching up with the tickets and I discovered I had a serious problem.
This sounds a lot like municipal extortion, doesn't it?
I do not use the term "extortion" lightly, but, being a responsible journalist, I am going to give the city a chance to defend its system. So here is an official response from the mayor of Washington: "You shut up about this or we will break your thumbs."
Possibly you are thinking that even though a machine-driven system is cold and unyielding, once you get into court and actual human people take over, things become much more reasonable.
At this moment, John and I are being addressed by a hearing examiner who is reading robotically from a computer screen. She is telling us that, unlike a person -- say, a police officer -- a speed camera is presumed to be inviolate and infallible as long as its accuracy has been certified by a radar technician. You may not challenge it, she said: You will get off only if you can establish that you personally were not driving the car because, say, it was stolen. (By this logic, if the camera said you were traveling at twice the speed of sound, you'd have to dummy up and pay the fine.) I feel John shudder beside me.
But then he begins to speak. He doesn't deny he was driving the car, or even that he wasn't -- by the city's ridiculously low speed limit -- "speeding." But, unlike the other defendants in the room, John has a thick dossier in front of him. It contains records of his attempts, online, to subpoena from the D.C. police arcane documents tangentially related to his case -- including a year's worth of maintenance records on the radar machine that nailed him, a copy of the contract between the city and the company that services the radar, including "all attachments and exhibits thereto," etc. It's all nuts, but it's also his legal right to see this stuff. And the city never responded to his requests.
This troubles the hearing examiner. She doesn't seem to understand simple common-sense arguments related to humans acting in reasonable fashion, but paper -- paper seems to rule. Paper was requested, and the city didn't supply it in a timely fashion! Case dismissed!
So there you have it, righteously indignant motorists: If you are popped by a machine for going a responsible speed that violates a ridiculously low speed limit, you are not without hope. Rage against the machine: Bury it in paper.
I'm going to try it. I pray it works, because the next step may well involve a shovel.

Halo 3 ODST went on sale at midnight last night and I went to the launch party to ask some of your questions and talk to the people behind the game. Curtis Creamer is the Halo 3 ODST games producer and here I had an opportunity to ask him
questions from forum members: algorith, intelman, Bas, Festive Turkey, CreamFilling512, W3bbo and even channel 9's newest team member Clint Rutkas.
We also talk about special characters that appear in the game, how a game goes from idea to store shelves, and what are some of the new technologies that went into making Halo 3 ODST.
Oops, something didn't work.
No downloadable version?
No sound for me.
There are downloadable versions in the Formats drop down. There is also sound
Nice, that was a lot more informative than I had expected. Too bad he was rather tight-lipped about that non-Halo IP..
Interesting. I can't wait for the Zune interview.
Good interview. Pretty nice relaxed style. Nothing seemed scripted. Of course that maybe because both Tina and Curtis Creamer are good speakers.
Thanks Charles. I swear, when I orginally loaded the page up (a few times) yesterday, the drop down never enabled

Pam's Pantry
American Made Since 2003
Pam Wise Redman
Grand Ledge, Michigan
We offer a wide variety of gourmet products packed with the freshest ingredients possible, designed to simplify all your party planning needs.
Tell us about your business.Pam's Pantry was borne out of sheer desperation. When Pam's hubby was injured and unable to work, the family found themselves faced with what Pam likes to call "New Opportunities". Never one to give up easily, she decided to turn her love of cooking into what would hopefully be their saving grace. She chose a few of her favorite creations, packaged them up and headed off to her first craft show. Scared silly and not sure what she was doing, her fears were soon put to rest as the customers loved her creations and they flew off the table. She attended that first craft show with only 4 delectable offerings. Today, Pam's Pantry manufactures over 70 fantastic products. They are available via their website, at craft/trade shows and many retail locations across the US. They also offer a fantastic fundraising program. Each gourmet mix packet is still hand measured to guarantee the perfect flavor quality with no added fillers or preservatives, they use only the freshest ingredients available.
What makes your business stand out?An open mind and a goal to provide economical, quick and easy, great tasting products. By keeping an open mind & ear to what our customers really liked, or sometimes didn't, allowed us to create a line of products that has evolved as much from our fans and customers input, as from our very own thoughts and ideas. Our relationship with our customers has gone beyond our wildest dreams. We have received notes and letters from customers sharing not only what their favorite products are, but sharing stories about special occasions that our products and recipes have been enjoyed at. From graduations, family reunions, baby showers, weddings, retirement parties and engagements to simple family meals where mom loves to share how happy a certain mix or recipe makes her family. We love hearing about all of the great times our customers are having and love that our products are a part of these special moments. Making Memories is what it is all about, and we are proud to be a part of those times!
What's the best business advice you've received?Never give up. A friend told me starting a business will be like riding the roller coaster of your life, you'll have the lowest lows and the highest highs and if you hang on for the ride, the end will be smooth and rewarding, still with highs and lows, just more easily manageable. We are still flying by the seat of our pants, loving what we do, having the time of our life and enjoying this wild ride we are on!! Can't wait to see what the next turn brings us!

Can New York Make You Crazy?
By LENA WILLIAMS
Published: April 13, 1997
''HAVE you ever felt unreal?''
Those words, on the first page of the book, spoke to the most intimate secret of Sue, a young actress who lives on the Upper East Side. Shortly after moving to New York seven years ago from Orlando, Fla., she was overcome by what she described as an out-of-body experience in which she was looking down upon a dreamlike version of herself.
At the time, Sue was an attractive, gregarious 19-year-old who had come to the city to work in the theater. But suddenly her life changed so dramatically that even now she cannot pinpoint the exact circumstances.
Was it when she felt faint on the subway, only to be rebuffed by the passenger she asked for help? Or was it the day her heart started to pound as she rode the M-104 bus to an audition?
She does know that not long after those two incidents, the attacks of sweating began, followed by shortness of breath and that feeling of unreality. She developed a terror of public places. By the time she was 20, Sue was a virtual recluse. Unable to work, her savings dwindling, she sought help from several doctors. Their diagnoses ranged from diabetes to a brain tumor, but test results proved negative.
''I should have been happy,'' she recalled. ''But I began to think it was in my mind and I got suicidal.''
Six months ago, she contacted Dr. William C. Sanderson, a psychologist who is associate professor of psychiatry and director of the Cognitive Behavior Therapy Program at Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.
After listening to her symptoms, Dr. Sanderson gave her a copy of ''Hope and Help for Your Nerve'' (1971 NAL Dutton) by Dr. Claire Weekes, an Australian psychiatrist who suffered from the panic disorder known as agoraphobia. Sue, who agreed to be interviewed only if her full name was not used -- because of the stigma still attached to many phobics -- said she was astounded and gratified to read Dr. Weekes's description of her own feeling of disconnection and unreality.
Experts say agoraphobics usually associate their panic with the place they first experience it -- in Sue's case, Manhattan.
''I never once had a panic attack growing up in Orlando,'' she said. ''I can go to New Jersey to visit relatives there and not have an attack. When I go grocery shopping with my husband in Orange County, I never have an attack. This only happens in this city. New York did this to me.''
And apparently the city has done it to thousands of others.
Psychiatrists say some people experience panic attacks at the thought of riding on the Lexington Avenue subway, yet have no problem riding the Metro in Paris. Patients report breaking out in a cold sweat in a medallion taxi, but aren't bothered cruising around in a London cab. There are even those who fear New York itself and cannot set foot inside its boundaries without suffering palpitations or dizzy spells.
''I have patients who can manage fairly well outside the city, but in the city all their anxieties and fears are tremendously heightened,'' said Dr. Gregory Asnis, director of the Anxieties and Depression Clinic at Montefiore. ''These patients can't travel or negotiate by themselves in the city. They must have a friend or family member with them. But outside the city, they do fine.''
Dr. Asnis and other panic experts say there is no research that indicates higher incidences of phobias or panic attacks in New York City than in places like Peoria, Ill. But people who suffer from acrophobia, a fear of heights, or demophobia, a fear of crowds, can walk around Peoria all day and not know they are afflicted.
New York, on the other hand, has many ingredients that trigger phobias -- tall buildings, crowds, a huge, complex public transportation system and a frenetic pace.
''There are things in New York, enclosed places, subway trains and crowded places, that increase the prevalence of certain anxieties,'' Dr. Sanderson said. And even some intrepid New Yorkers suffer panic attacks or phobic sensations in certain situations.
Nicole F., who traversed the city by subway, bus and cab, became spermophobic -- (not what you think) fearful of germs -- after she gave birth to her first child last winter. When she saw a recent series of subway advertisements promoting a new antibacterial lotion by Keri, she says, she ''freaked.''
''You are the 423d person to touch that pole today,'' the ad reads. ''Enough said. The turnstiles have at least 11,700,000 germs. (Have a nice day.) Have you ever wondered why they tell you not to hold the doors!''
''People can laugh all they want, but this city is a breeding ground for germs,'' said Nicole, who insisted that her name not be used because her employer, a public relations company, is unaware of her affliction. ''Since I had my daughter, I don't leave home without Purell, an antibacterial lotion, or wet wipes or disposable white gloves.''
She even gave a bottle of Purell to a friend, a salesman at Macy's in Herald Square who is spermophobic and became agitated after a customer handed him a check he had been holding in his mouth.

Hi -
I love the look of the system. I've searched everywhere, and can't find an answer to this:
I have a static index page - WP is being integrated as part of a much bigger site.
I want to put the title and excerpts of the last 5 entries on the static page. what code do i need to input?
Also, is there a way to integrate the blog with the look and feel of my site, or does it have to be set up with a theme?
I know these may be simple questions, but I'm under the gun to get this site finished.

I was able to find various jobs on campus rather easily. If you are Wharton, it definitely is easier to do so. However, there are enough opportunities in general.
Haven't really looked at it
I feel like I am exactly where I belong. The classes I am taking are perfect and I am enjoying every second of it.
To get in you have to apply to Penn as well as your specific school. The most important thing is showing passion for what you want to study and showing a true desire to attend Penn. The Nursing school is the best!
I'm a Cog Sci major and I love it because it's interdiscplinary and the professors are very interesting.

It has been a hot topic for the past few years, that 3/4 inch diameter hail simply doesn't pose a damage threat. Simply put, the speed in which a hail stone that size falls to the ground, doesn't achieve a high enough speed to cause damage. However, a hail stone that is 1 inch in diameter will achieve a high enough speed to cause damage. So, the National Weather Service has bumped up the severe criteria for hail to 1 inch in diameter or larger. A good move, if you ask me. Trying to determine the difference between 3/4 inch and 1 inch diameter hail based on radar is pretty tough. It may cause a few less warnings to be issued, but we'll see.

Garage Organization
With more than 30 years of experience as the storage and organization experts, we've come up with some creative solutions for saving precious space and time.
We also love to hear from customers like you about how you stay organized.
Read up on our expert tips and then share your own!
Is your garage in need of a tune-up? If you're finding it difficult to store that single most important item in your garage — your car — it's time to get organized! Follow these simple steps and you'll be on the road to garage organization.
Sort and purge
When cleaning out the garage, decide which items should be kept and which can be discarded or donated to charity. A good rule of thumb is to discard items that haven't been used within two years. Properly dispose of old paint and oil cans and empty cleaning supply bottles.
Think visibility and accessibility
Always place items where they are easy to see and reach. Items used most often should be stored at eye level or below. Seasonal items should be kept on higher shelves. Choose ventilated shelves and drawers which allow visibility to what you're storing — they also prevent dust and dirt from collecting.
If necessary, store items in boxes or bags to keep them clean — clear containers will let you see immediately what's inside.
Put everything in its place
Typically, 80% of items stored in a garage can be kept on shelving — the other 20% (such as handled tools and gardening helpers) is generally stored on a hook. You'll need a combination of shelving, drawers and hooks to keep everything organized.
Designate an area to store like items together and be conscientious about returning the items to their proper place. For example, tools should be stored in one area and Christmas ornaments in another. Creating "zones" within your garage will help all family members know where to locate items.
Look for hidden storage areas
If your storage space is limited, consider storing items under a workbench, behind the door, and on vertical wall space. There are a wide variety of door and wall hooks and racks to maximize every inch of space in your garage.
Put it at your fingertips
Assemble a quick fix kit, consisting of a hammer, screwdriver, nails and screws and keep it near the door to the house so you can access it easily for quick fixes.
Store small hardware such as screws, nails, nuts and bolts in small, open-ended storage compartments that are stackable. Label the bins to correspond with its contents. This will provide easy access to those often used, but sometimes hard to find items.
