Archived Story
Much ado about the weatherPublished 11:07am Thursday, September 26, 2013
Oscar Wilde once said, "Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative."
But if there is one thing I've learned about the South, it's that people love to talk about the weather.
It doesn't matter if it's swelteringly hot, bone-chilling cold (for Alabama, anyway), raining, sleeting, or sunny and beautiful – someone is going to mention the weather.
And I hate to contradict Mr. Wilde, but to me, it's not an unimaginative conversation – people talk about it because they are genuinely interested in our surroundings.
If anything, people take a genuine interest in Alabama weather because it's just plain weird sometimes.
Take all of August, for instance – I don't know that we had a single day without rain. And this wasn't just the normal "summer storm" type of rain we might see in the afternoons following a swelteringly hot midday – this was rain that seemed like it fell all day, every day.
Understandably, this was the subject of intense conversation, perhaps because our area had suffered from drought conditions for several years.
Just in August, some parts of Alabama saw more than 14 inches of rain. In Tallapoosa County, we saw between 5.25 and 7 inches near the southern part of the county, and Alexander City saw around 3 inches.
Countless times, we had customers walk into our office, shoulders and head soaked with the downpour. Those more prepared customers came in with umbrellas, raincoats or even plastic bags over their heads.
And almost every one of them would say something along the lines of, "Boy, it's raining cats and dogs out there!"
It always initiated conversation with other customers or our employees, sharing their own weather stories from recent weeks.
And even in the face of dismal weather, I learned one more thing that I love about the South – that no matter what walk of life you may come from, the weather is something we all have in common.
And we can joke, listen and sympathize with any person's weather experiences, simply because our folks are generally friendly.
To paraphrase another quote, no matter the weather, Southerners just bring their own sunshine.
Spears is general manager for The Outlook.

Written by Jack Garland Saturday, 23 August 2014 00:00
A few months ago, while returning to my car after attending a wake, I was surprised to catch a glimpse of something that immediately brought me back to my elementary school days. Directly in front of me stood a portion of the original concrete wall that had surrounded my alma mater.
In 1922, Corpus Christi Church purchased the Robert Graves estate on Searing Avenue and transformed its building into a parish school. It was a beautiful structure of Spanish-style architecture surrounded by the concrete wall, sporting huge ornate iron gates.
The quaint third-grade classroom had been the estate's stable. Large windows replaced the original horse entrance and a Dutch door led directly outside to a covered porch area. I remember being fascinated and a bit overwhelmed by the size and mystique of the building when I started first grade in 1949.
Familiar faces in the building were those of Mrs. Fleming the music teacher, Mrs. Boland the art teacher and Mr. Heinz the custodian. With the exception of this supporting staff, the entire faculty consisted of the Amityville Sisters of St. Dominic. When my sister Mary entered the same order in 1953, I felt certain that this connection would entitle me to a few perks. It didn't.
All students were issued a "book money card" listing each month of the year. Every month we would bring in our payment and the teacher would sign her initials on the card. Monthly tuition was one dollar.
After lunch, we would burn off our excess energy within the enormous grounds surrounding the building. During summer vacations, our idle playground would become overgrown with wild grass up to our knees. Within the first few days of school, we managed to reduce the landscape to its familiar basic dirt and dust.
One of the eighth-grade girls would operate a candy stand during our playtime. Our favorite items were the candy dots which we would peel off a strip of paper and the little paraffin bottles of flavored syrup. We could bite off the top and drink the syrup or just chew the whole bottle which was almost like chewing gum—almost.
While the girls busied themselves with jump rope, hop-scotch and jacks, we would flip baseball cards, play punch ball, ring-a-levio, or a stupid, barbaric contest of weight versus strength called "Johnny rides a pony."
I will not list the names of each teacher during my eight years there (although I could). However, I must give recognition to the special person who taught us during our final year.
As a retired teacher myself, I can attest that even two or three eighth-graders in the same room can sometimes present a challenge. In 1956, the two sections of our class were moved to an adjacent new building and combined into a group of 82, requiring a teacher of exceptional skills.
Sister Mary Douglas was a wonderful lady whose comical, drill-sergeant personality was much like that of Bea Arthur's TV character, Maude. We all loved her and there was never any doubt as to who was in control in that room. She would handle her seemingly insurmountable task by delegating a rotating crew of student assistants who would check on daily homework assignments. Loyalty among fellow students was never a factor; we would always delight in ratting on a classmate who was falling down on the job.
In 1963, our beloved original school was torn down to make way for construction of additional classrooms. The demolished building was carted to the village dump at the end of East Second Street where it was set ablaze by an arsonist. In spite of repeated applications of water and sand, the rubble, as if in protest, smoldered for weeks.
Sadly, in June, 2010, Corpus Christi School closed its doors for the last time, thus ending a long tradition of loving care and quality education.
To all my fellow sentimental nostalgia buffs and alumni, the next time you're on Searing Avenue, take notice of where that century-old wall proudly remains. In addition to keeping countless youngsters from wandering onto the railroad tracks, it served as a "prison den" rear boundary for many generations of ring-a-levio. If walls could talk.

Some of the free lunch programs offered at schools have ended, so the congregation at Community of Christ is stepping up with free lunches for children and adults three days a week at the church.

Saturday's Valley Voice once again gave you a solid lineup of stories covering what's happening in Spokane Valley. Reporter Lisa Leinberger has details on the annual Summer of Service volunteer day run by Eastpoint Church that will send volunteers to 15 Central Valley schools for improvements on Aug. 11. Volunteers are still needed, so sign up if you can lend a hand.
The Spokane Valley Community of Christ Church has stepped up to offer free meals to children and adults three days a week through the month of August. The church is trying to fill the gap that exists now that many schools have stopped serving free meals for the summer.
The Spokane Valley City Council discussed a familiar topic last week - animal control. The council is moving nearer to a decision, however. The city has to decide whether to continue with SCRAPS or switch to SpokAnimal for animal control services.
Spokane Valley Partners is again collecting school supplies for distribution to low income students. Lisa put together details on what supplies are needed and how families can sign up to get a backpack filled with supplies.

We had some interesting stories in Saturday's Valley Voice, so here's your chance to take another look if you missed them. Spokane Valley had a public meeting to discuss construction options for the west Sullivan Bridge and which might work best for commuters and businesses.
Reporter Lisa Leinberger talked to Terri Crum, who puts together snack packs for homeless and at-risk students at Opportunity Elementary School. The packs ensure that kids won't go hungry over the weekend. Correspondent Steve Christilaw has a a story on Jordan Gassman and Dylan Ellsworth, both guards on the basketball team at West Valley High School.
Eastpoint Church near Sprague and Sullivan just finished its fourth expansion and now has a 1,000 seat auditorium for Sunday services, concerts, dinner theater and more.
The Clock Tower in Riverfront Park originally was part of the Great Northern Railway Depot building. The depot opened on May 30, 1902. The structures were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. SR file photo.
Thursday brings you another edition of the Valley Voice on your front porch (or on your computer screen). In today's edition reporter Lisa Leinberger has a story on the Reading Buddies program at Opportunity Elementary School. The school brings in volutneers from Eastpoint Church to help third graders practice their reading skills.
There was an interesting twist at this week's Spokane Valley City Council meeting, where a council member said that Valleyfest organizers had been offered money in years past to not apply for lodging tax funding. The discussion was part of the ongoing debate over the council's decision to not grant Valleyfest any lodging tax money this year.
Lisa also has a story on several decisions made by the Liberty Lake City Council. The council voted to approve the 2012 budget, pay of a golf course bond and reduce the city's utility tax to 3 percent. The Clock Tower in Riverfront Park isn't in Spokane Valley, of course, but it is a regional icon. Correspondent Stefanie Pettit has a story on the landmark and the man who keeps it running.

Not a Mystery
The bugs in the water look like this, so tie your flies to look like this. More or less. Start with a scud hook #14-16. Used to be 16-18 and the vets would say why are you doing that tie bigger flies. So an iterative step has me at 14-16. Put beads on a dozen or so hooks. Look around your shop for various dark dubbing balls, feathers and some wire. Apply the materials to the hooks. Decide for yourself if you think flashbacks are important or if wire holds down materials well and/or if that matters because the flies will be gone to the good nympher before they can wear out. My current belief is that the 2x strong scud hook #14 may be the top Driftless Area hook. This is due to the gap and the fact that they simply do not bend or break as far as I can tell. Recent log suggests I have tied around two dozen decent nymphs. An angler looks forward to setting himself to fishing; I foresee this happening in the coming sun leading up to the Jan15 full wolf moon. The cold will be broken and cast aside and in the new sun fish will be admired!

Is there a national psoriasis support group?
Yes, the National Psoriasis Foundation (NPF) is an organization dedicated to helping patients with psoriasis and furthering research in this field. They hold national and local chapter meetings. The NPF web site (http://www.psoriasis.org/home/) shares up-to-date reliable medical information and statistics on the condition.
What is my long-term prognosis with psoriasis? What are complications of psoriasis?
Overall, the prognosis for most patients with psoriasis is good. While it is not curable, it is controllable. Recent studies show an association of psoriasis and other medical conditions, including obesity and heart disease.
What does the future hold?
Psoriasis research is heavily funded and holds great promise for the future. Just the last five to 10 years have brought great strides forward in treatment of the disease with medications aimed at treating the overactive immune system that causes the skin inflammation of psoriasis. Ongoing research is needed to decipher the ultimate underlying cause of this disease.

|Hi hi-- I'm Turq and I'm really lazy. You can probably tell that from my gallery full of hastily finished scribbles and half-painted digital stuff. It's a curse, I'm afraid...
ScreamsBorn eighteen years ago in the glorified district of gold and silver, his parents named him Marvel. A blessing, a curse that they bestowed him with the hopes that he would one day become one in the most literal sense.Screams by zone-r
(A curse, then. He was not much of a marvel. Reasonably smart, fair enough face, pretty decent with his spears. But a marvel? Hardly.)
And so he was never quite enough. Sometimes he felt that his father was watching him for any sign of Hunger Games brilliance, as if he would suddenly be revealed to be a born genius with say, spiked maces.
(The thought actually appealed to Marvel; huge, heavy, and - well, look at those spikes. He dropped one on his trainer's toe the first time he attempted to use it. Shame - he could have been disabled him for life if the mace had been a little heavier.)
His mother, too, though significantly less after she mysteriously fell ill with a horribly hoarse throat, my. Shame, shame. She had such a pretty voice too, always twittering
|Hi hi-- I'm Turq and I'm really lazy. You can probably tell that from my gallery full of hastily finished scribbles and half-painted digital stuff. It's a curse, I'm afraid...
He was so hopelessly, helplessly addicted to them. Shame, shame, shame. / Marvel-centric oneshot.
So I had this head-cannon that Marvel was a psychopath and this happened.
I don't think this qualifies as mature content... Does it? And it's drama, I swear, because it's supposed to be about exploring Marvel, or at least my version of Marvel, rather than scaring readers.
The books belong to Suzanne Collins. Thank you for reading!
Daaaaaaaaaank you
1. What type of music do you listen to? (Genre, artists, songs?)
To be honest, my music tastes are really eclectic. K-pop, from Block B to Akdong Musician, Japanese vocaloids, although not as much anymore, movie, TV show, and animation soundtracks (Death Note and Sherlock Holmes are one of my favorites), some classical, and then like a bunch of mildly popular U.S. songs. I really like Papa Roach and Maroon 5, but then there's people like Ellie Goulding, Rhapsody of Fire, OneRepublic, Hoodie Allen, Ariana Grande, He is We, Bruno Mars, Coldplay… I seriously don't have a word to describe my taste in music.
In general, I don't think my taste of music is particularly 'good'. I just listen to stuff I like.
2. What cheers you up?
A lot of things. A good book. Sweet things. A good movie. Unhealthy food that tastes good. Playing volleyball with friends. A good tennis rally. When my brother doesn't ignore me (…)
3. What do you constantly think about that, either makes you sad or just anything?
I constantly think about fictional characters, both my own and from games/movies/animations/books/anything else. It rather hinders my ability to act normal in public places.
4. Is there something you constantly lose at your house or anywhere?
Phone. Keys. Socks, all the time. Especially the nice white ones.
5. Do you have a favorite book or read much? Why or why not?
I love reading! Does such a marvelous activity require explanation about its greatness? Currently I'm a little bit obsessed with the Brothers Karamazov. I didn't know I could fall in love with classic book characters, much less three at once. OH GOD ALYOSHA.
6. What is the longest you have gone without sleep?
Did an all-nighter once. A Spanish music video project; one of my partners was absent for like the whole week, the other was… To put it mildly, a little thick. I did everything and learned to run away screaming at the first note of 'Stereo Hearts'.
7. Do you have anyone you go to for advice? In person or online?
My friends. Yep!
8. What is the habit you are proudest of breaking or want to break?
Games… Before, it was Wizard101. Now it's Cookie Run and Cyphers, although I don't actually play Cyphers, which is rather stupid. I'd also like to stop reading webtoons so much, but I honestly don't think that's under my control. Oh woe be me.
9. Is there anything I should know?
I'm hungry. I always am; it's a curse.
10. What do you order or not order at a restaurant you have been to or never been to?
I eat anything and everything. My opinion is that anything new is always interesting, and that life should always be interesting, therefore I'll eat anything new that comes my way. My thinking is a little… Skewed. Don't ask.
It sometimes backfires, but it's a pretty good rule to go by. I'll never order shellfish, though, oysters in particular. Ew.
11. What is your favorite word? Least favorite?
Clandestine is one of my favorites. The definition is less than appropriate, but it just sounds so pretty. Whimsical and effervescent sound fluttery and whispery and very elegent. I also like words that sound violent and mean horrible things, because it sends such a clear message. Is that weird? Like macabre and lurid.
I also have a slight obsession for names. My current favorite is Andelka, but it's subject to change whenever I come across another name.
Words I don't like? Huh - I don't know if this counts, but I absolutely loathe the word 'kk'. Does one really need to say 'okay' in a short form twice? It sends across the message of 'kk, yeah, I get it, like omg stop pestering me'. And yes, I do use it sometimes when I'm really annoyed at whoever's texting/chatting to me, but that's not the point. XP
12. Describe something that's happened to you for which you had no explanation.
I ate two bowls of cereal.
13. Why?
I don't know. I wasn't even that hungry. I think I was half-daydreaming or something and just automatically refilled the bowl without considering the fact that my stomach was full. And then I continued to eat the whole bowl of cereal, and somehow my nervous system didn't think it necessary to tell my brain to stop you fucking idiot. I've heard that goldfish do that sometimes. Am I a goldfish?
Anyway, I ate two huge bowls of cereal and it wasn't even for a meal. Also apparently I have nothing interesting in my life so I have to talk about cereal of all things.
14. What did you do for your latest birthday?
Nothing? My friends threw me a party at school, and that was really nice.
15. What holidays do you celebrate? Are you a religious person or not?
Um… Christmas. New Year's. Lunar New Year's. What are the guidelines for celebrating, anyways? Do we have to decorate? Or is just eating a special dinner okay too? What about just staying home from work for the day?
Religious. Christian. The funny thing is, I feel kind of weird because I hear my teachers saying stuff like 'I don't think gay love is a real thing' and I'm just like um. I think that's really… Narrow-minded and inflexible of you. Because I believe strongly in LGBT rights. And I also feel like I'm missing a little at the back but whatever…
16. If you had to be named after a city, state, or country (etc), which would you want it to be?
Um. Richmond is awesome, but only if I were a guy. Windsor is like the prettiest name ever, so yeah, Windsor.
17. Who is your hero?
Hero. Never thought of that. I dislike a lot of people. Maybe someone like Nancy Farmer, just because she caused someone - ahem me - to really become interested in writing and such?
But then, in my head, a hero isn't someone who I want to be. It's just someone that I respect a lot, has done things that I believe helped the world in some way. He or she doesn't have to be perfect, and aren't, anyway.
I guess Leonardo da Vinci is also my 'hero', because his works were and still are awe-inspiring, and they influenced a lot of what happened after his death.
18. Which do you use more often, the dictionary or the thesaurus?
If you have a Mac, you have access to its 'Spotlight' feature, at the top right of your screen. If you type a word into it, you can directly access the Mac's built-in dictionary and thesaurus, and also to Wikipedia. It's very helpful. But because they're together, I usually use both features together too. Usually because synonyms help me understand a word better, and when I'm looking for a better word to use, I check its definition to too make sure it really means what I want it to mean.
19. Have you ever been stung by a bee?
Yes. I went to a mountain for the day, came back, and found that my ear was twice its normal size. I also touched a bee once - it came into our car, and I didn't know that and just put my hand down on the sheet. It was furry. Surprisingly, it just buzzed out of the window instead of stinging me. Thank you, bee.
20. Have you ever tipped a cow?
Is it sad that I don't know what you're talking about? Shame on you, Turq.
21. What's the sickest you have ever been?
I'm not sure. I had to stay home for a few days, though. I spent the day lying in bed and reading, so I can't say it was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
22. Are you still learning who you are?
Yep. The main part, the core, I know. The little bits, the branches and the blossoms and the leaves, I'm not sure - they're still growing. They might die. They might flower beautifully. In that line of thinking, maybe one can never learn who they are. Maybe life is just a journey to find out who you are. Wow, that's sad…
23. Are you afraid of heights? Or what are you afraid of?
I like heights. If I allowed to make one wish, I'd choose telekinesis - so I could levitate myself and fly, like in 'Chronicle'. That itself says enough.
I'm afraid of failure and not being loved. Typical human fears. Also sort of claustrophobic. Elevators don't particularly terrify me, but the very idea of being locked in a sealed space makes me shudder. I've had a lot of nightmares about that.
24. Have you ever taken dance lessons? Who would you want to dance with?
I took ballet for like three months until I gave it up for Tae-Kwon-Do. Says a lot about me, don't you think? I've also had to suffer through dance lessons at school and hated it with a passion. So no, I'm not dancing with anybody.
25. What is the most memorable class you have ever taken?
Social Studies last year. The teacher was uhhhhmazing and the material was so freaking fun! I had a ton of fun in that class. And then the teacher left the school. And the country. To get married. Bye…
26. What's your favorite knock-knock joke?
Who's there?
Banana who?
Who's there?
Orange who?
Orange you glad I didn't say banana?
No, actually. I like bananas. In smoothies.
27. What is your favorite commercial?
I don't have one…? Maybe the Wizard101 commercial with the crazy amazing graphics.
28. If you could spend the day with any celebrity, who would it be?
Um. I have no idea. Lee Byung Hun, maybe? I loved him in Red 2. WHERE'S. MY. PLANE???!?!??! (IN BRUCE WILLIS'S ASS no joke BW actually said in mah ass)
29. What is your favorite breakfast food?
Fruit! Or smoothies. Also, ice cream. It tastes amazing on an empty stomach; don't judge.
30. Do you like guacamole? Have you ever been in a food fight?
I don't think I've ever even had guacamole. No, I've never been in one. But I guess it would be fun, if I could ignore how much food was being wasted.
31. What is your favorite thing to spend money on?
Books, notebooks, and drinks. The first requires no explanations. Notebooks - I love doodling and scribbling and just doing random creative work when I'm bored, so notebooks always come in handy and I burn through them ridiculously quickly. They also come in a variety of amazing designs, and I never feel guilty about buying them. As for drinks… I'm just a little bit obsessed with milk tea and blue lemonade, okay?
32. What is the weirdest thing about you? Are you proud of it?
My thoughts. Like my immediate thoughts. I've no way to really describe it, but I have a rather twisted method of thinking. I don't mind. I've decided to not care about what people think. It's a good plan, but hard to follow.
33. Ever been in love with 2 people at the same time? Do you think that's wrong?
No. I don't think I've ever been in love. What's the difference between love and a crush, anyway? If love=crush for you, then… Oh, I've had many. Silly, silly Turq.
34. Ever had any relatives in jail?
No idea. On a mildly related note, I learned recently that England used to use Australia as a prison long ago and that many Australians' ancestors are criminals. Isn't that fascinating?
35. Glass half full or half empty? Or is the glass just malformed?
Does anyone actually think a glass of water is 'half empty'? Have you ever read a book where the main character describes the room and is like 'The kitchen table was cluttered with cups of water, all half empty.'
Okay, that was a horrible sentence. But still. Does anyone actually think 'oh, there's a half-empty cup of water'? The natural state of a cup is empty. Therefore, I believe, people will naturally notice that the cup is filled, rather than think 'oh, this cup is supposed to be completely filled up, but half of it is empty'. Thus, in order for someone to think 'half-empty', the correct circumstances have to be at hand.
Say, Bill tells Ann that there's a cup full of blueberry smoothie on the counter that their mother made for her. She goes there and there's only half a cup. Only in that situation will Ann naturally think 'oh, that cup is half empty'.
Does this even make sense? Nope, nope, noooope.
36. Mountains or the beach? View, or the tv?
Beach. I love water. I've always lived near bodies of water - literally. Either near the beach, near a river, or near a canal or something. Or both.
View, probably? Unless they're playing the Olympics or something. Let's face it - regardless of whether you choose view or TV, you're going to want the other at some point or another.
37. Plain, train, or car? Boat, subway, or teleportation device?
Plain? Plane. I love planes. I love the hum you can feel when you put your head against the walls. It's oddly comforting, despite the many reports of plane crashes and other life-threatening, plane-related things I've read.
Teleportation device. Subways are nice too, but when they start getting crowded… Ugh. Boats are always fun and somewhat romantic until you start feeling sick, after which all you want to do is get back on firm ground again.
38. If you could retire tomorrow, what would you do?
Retire from what, life? I don't even have a job. Retire from school? In that case, I won't, even if I could. I'd like to go to university, at least…
39. Ever sold/donated your blood? If you haven't do you want to?
Nope. But I'd like to donate it sometime!
40. Crowds, small groups, or "Go away, I'm a loner"?
Quite picky. I don't mind mildly large groups, since I can take my pick of who to hang out with. Too many people is actually pretty interesting, because the sheer idea of so many individual people with their unique thoughts and desires around me is fascinating. But if I have to hang out with someone, I'd rather have a smaller group.
I like having someone to talk to, especially about writing and books. The synergy between two fangirls is… Frankly quite astounding.
41. Name the most terrifying moment of your life so far. Have you recovered from it?
I don't think I've ever really been seriously scared. I've lived a very safe life so far, and hope against all odds that I will continue to do so.
Oh, there was that one time when North Korea started going crazy and my mom thought war was going to break out. But that was more exciting than terrifying, mostly because I was young and quite stupid.
42. What famous person do people tell you that you most resemble?
lol… Yuna Kim, surprisingly. Especially with my hair up in a bun. And then I cut my hair.
43. What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?
A wonderful green lollipop with a scorpion inside. It was good. Very sticky, though.
44. If you could bring any person back to life, who would it be?
Leonardo da Vinci. Just curious, do you need to have a piece of them, like you do when you talk about typical necromancy? If so, let's say Steve Jobs.
45. Do you believe honesty is the best policy?
Yes. But my actual policy is closer to 'If you have a problem with me, fucking say it to my face instead of spreading rumors and gossiping behind my back'.
46. What dead person would you least want to be haunted by?
Huh. Um. A comedian? I'd laugh at them all day long and be taken to a psychiatric ward. I'm really out of anything to say for this question…
47. Who would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with? Who would you least like to be …?
Does being stuck in an elevator imply anything inappropriate? I'm serious. Or am I just incredibly, unknowingly perverted? I'm sorry - I've learned to second-guess everything on the internet.
If you're asking me who I'd most like to be stuck in an elevator with as in who would I like to have a long conversation with and come up with a clever plan together the most, I'd have to say… Raphael Santiago. Simply because of the fact that being stuck in an elevator with him will include interacting and communicating with and MEETING him.
Least? A psychopath. Maureen, Peter, Opal, Smerdyakov, most of the death eaters…
48. What do you think Victoria's secret is?
Nothing I'm interested in.
49. Which cartoon character do you resemble the most?
Cartoon character? I don't watch cartoons. Um. If animations work too, let's say Ty Lee because I love Avatar and that one scene where she was like 'poofy. Poof!' was so totally me.
50. Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes? Or a week without changing your clothes but be able to bathe.
At least I could actively strive to keep my clothes clean. How do you physically keep the dust off your body? Give me baths please.
51. Which of the four seasons do you most love? Or Hate?
I dearly love fall. I couldn't live without fall. I hate... I don't really hate the seasons. Even summer, which can get nasty. They all have their particular beauty.
52. If you could choose your method of dying or where, what would they be?
An unexpected death. I've heard that the most terrifying thing someone can experience is waiting for one's death. Knowing that you'll die, waiting for hours with the knowledge eating away at your mind. I'd rather avoid that, thank you very much.
53. If you had to be trapped in a tv show for a month, which would you choose?
I don't watch very many TV shows. Um, Victorious? I remember I used to love it when I was a kid.
54. List someone you know, and describe them in 5 words.
- Fashionable, studious, emotional, hilarious, romantic
55. You can select one person from history and have them truthfully answer one question, who would you select and what is the question?
Lee Seung Man. Why the fuck did you think that the North and South having individual presidential elections would be a good idea? Look at Korea now. LOOK. FUCKING LOOK.
56. If you join the circus, what would you perform?
I would like to learn magic tricks and saw people in half. I actually took magic lessons and wanted to become a magician for a short while in fifth grade. It was a short-lived dream. Thanks mom.
57. Ugly and live forever, or attractive and die in a year?
Ugly and live forever! I can just wear a super creepy/awesome mask and be some amazing immortal wanderer, explorer, and researcher.
But seriously, I'd love to live forever. See everything, experience everything, write it all down. Reflect. A year? I'd spend every day stressing out that I wasn't living it to my fullest. I'd be nervous, snappish, annoyed at everything at annoyed at myself for being annoyed at everything.
58. You discover that your wonderful one year old child is because of a mix up at the hospital and not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake?
Fuck you. Um, I don't think I could stand parting with my child. Ehrr… I would take the hospital to court and rip off a ridiculous amount of money for their mistake, and then buy a huge mansion which the other family and mine would share.
59. Would you be willing to lie to a court for a close friend if it meant saving your friend from going to jail for life?
If s/he was innocent, I guess. But only if there was like a 99.9999999% that they wouldn't find out. Also, if she's really innocent wouldn't it be possible to somehow get them out legally.
Also, this reminds me of the Brothers Karamazov and Dmitri and Katerina. Too much fingerling over the Brother Karamazov ok…
60. Would you be willing to eat a bowl of crickets for $40,000?
I mean, they eat them in China. I've heard it actually tastes… Not bad.
Hm. If you ground them up, baked them into cookies, and gave them to me without telling me the contents, I'd probably eat them without a thought.
61. If you could have anyone locked in a room so that you could torment them for a day, whom would you choose ad how would you torment them?
Lappy said Hitler. So I guess I'll go with Stalin? My emotions against him are running quite high at the moment because of me re-reading Animal Farm recently and history lessons about modern history and what an asshole Stalin was.
Hmm… A room full of stray lego pieces. No shoes or socks. Chased by a killer mosquito. Legos are glued to the ground.
I also hear that a method of torture utilized back in the twentieth century was to tie one to the ceiling by their hair so that they would have to stand on their tip-toes for hours. //shudder
62. Do you feel that children should be sheltered from unhappiness?
No, but I think their parents should try their hardest to make them happy when they can. I don't think they should make a conscious choice to make sure they experience life's downfalls, but I don't think they should shield their kids constantly, either. To live life is to experience both happiness and sadness.
63. If you could have personally witnessed anything, what would you want to have seen?
Julius Caesar's death. Imagine!
Also… The building of Khufu's pyramid. Also Hitler's suicide.
64. If you could wake up tomorrow in the body of someone else, who would you pick and what would you do? (Live in the body temporarily or permanently?)
Eh, I like my body. Kind of. Uh, I'd like to temporarily take the body of someone who's vacationing somewhere beautiful and expensive, and have a short, luxurious vacation there.
65. If you could be any age for a week, what age would that be?
Five. I want to be a creepy little child and scare everyone out of their wits. Also, I wouldn't have to go to school or have any homework.
66. What question do you hate to answer?
Do you mind if I blah blah blah?
"Oh, you mind? I'm sorry…"
"I can't?"
A lot of people get it messed up.
Oh, also.
Do you LIKE him?
Not your business. If I wanted you to know, then I would've told you. If I haven't told you, GTFO.
67. If you could only have one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A buffet.
68. Where do you go to get on a computer?
Laptop. I take it everywhere with me…
69. How do you start a conversation?
I don't.
Cue dramatic sobbing.
But the best way to do it is to complain about some kind of discomfort you're both experiencing. Nothing makes friends better than insulting someone else together.
70. What keys on a keyboard do you not use?
Um. F3, F4, F5, F6, and that one thing at the far right top. I use a MacBook, so all F keys do things that they don't do on Windows, which means that they /don't/ do what they're supposed to do on Windows. Which means that as have hotspots at the edges of my screen and I never use the lights-under-keyboard function, I NEVER use those keys.
71. If you had a brainwashing machine, who would you use it on?
Lee Jeong Eun.
72. You are walking home in the dark, you see something move. What/Who is it(guess)? What do you do?
Stray kitty! Sneak over to it and watch creepily, dying with cuteness inside.
73. What is the strangest name someone has introduced themselves as to you? What is their real name?
Hurricane something. I can't remember his real name…
74. Where were you 3 hours ago? Do you think someone was stalking you?
At school. Our teacher was yelling at us because we weren't listening, and I was quietly writing down notes about my short story in the back DD
75. Have you ever eaten a crayon, or glue? Or what strange thing have you eaten?
Nope… I've eaten… Raw meat. It's actually really good - just meat done like sashimi and spiced and stuff. Seriously, it may sound gross and icky but it tastes amazing.
76. Is there anything purple within 10 feet of you? What is it?
No. Actually yes - a post-it in my History textbook, in my backpack right next to me.
77. When was the last time you bought something? What was it?
A few days ago. I bought a can of milk tea for myself on the subway, because I was thirsty. It tasted extremely bad.
78. Are you wearing socks right now?
No, I am not. Wedge sandals. The wedges are really poofy and big, which makes it really hard to run but really fun to walk.
79. Have you been to the movies in the last 5 days?
Although it does seem odd that not only did Groot suddenly learn the word 'we' before he died, he also learned the word 'are'. So his vocabulary increased by around 60% - can you imagine that? In such a short amount of time? With no one actually teaching him?
80. When was the last time you ran/went for a jog?
Last week. Tennis. I nearly died.
81. Your dream vacation? Worst vacation? Best vacation?
Venice Venice Venice Venice I wanted to go there since I was little and my parents told me to start saving up —
Worse vacation? Palestine maybe? Or somewhere hot and stuffy. Best vacation - as in one I experienced? Probably Hawaii.
82. Worst injury you have had?
I tore a ligament in my… Left leg, I think? It wasn't too painful, but it was slightly inconvenient, since I had to use a sort of awkward side-step when going up stairs.
83. What do you want to know about the future?
Will future people look back on this time and call it World War III?
84. What was the last picture taken of you?
Yesterday, at school, when I was dancing. Aahahhahahha fml.
85. Do you know any big gossipers?
My teachers. You wouldn't imagine how gossipy they are. Talk about something in front of them, all the others will know by the end of the day. They're also very good to go to for gossip. Like, hey, do you know who's going out with who?
86. Have you been pulled over by a cop?
No. Nope!
87. Do you know your heritage?
Yes. My mother's from Earth, and so's my father. What about you?
88. What have you always wanted? Did you ever get it?
I've always wanted to write a book a lot of people enjoy reading and fangirling over. As for material things… I've always wanted more books. And those I got.
89. What you have faked being sick so you wouldn't have to go to?
No… But I have faked having a slightly annoying headache to a REALLY BAD HEADACHE to get out of mile run. I was quite pleased with myself.
90. What was the last lie you have said?
I'm fine.
91. Have you ever danced in the rain?
No, but I have run through a hurricane. It was fun. A tree fell over.
92. What is your blood type?
O+. We tested it in science class. Was slightly disappointed that my blood type wasn't amazingly unique and rare, but I suppose it means I'll have a larger chance of living if I get into an accident and lose a lot of blood.
93. Have you ever been in a car accident?
OMG YES, LIKE A FEW DAYS AGO. My mom was talking with me and we were driving down a slightly crowded highway, and the car in front of us stopped but she didn't and I was like MOOOMMMMM and we banged into the car in front of us and that one crashed into the car in front of that.
It was very exciting, but not in a very positive way.
94. What was your weirdest prank call that you have made?
Prank text. I was at a sleepover, and as a dare I texted my crush something along the lines of "Hello, this is Ching Ching China. You steal our chopsticks, you dead. YOUUUUUUUU DEADDDDDDD. Please return chopsticks to xxx-xxxx-xxxx or we kill you."
I think? It was a long time ago. Thankfully enough, the message exceeded the character limit and did not send.
95. Best compliment you have received?
Anything along the lines of I love your writing/stories/character/s so much! It automatically counts as the best compliment evahhh.
96. Do you trust anyone with your life?
My parents. Myself.
97. What is your greatest strength or weakness?
Greatest strength: my positivity. But recently I've begun to feel like it's more my inability to be discouraged. Sort of similar but slightly different.
Weakness? Laziness. Definitely. Also jealousy at times? IDK, I feel like I have a lot of weaknesses and I just can't choose.
98. What is your perfect pizza?
Um. The type with cheese in the crust. I don't really care about the toppings, but I usually don't like it if there's more than two. I'm kind of weird when it comes to pizza.
I've also heard of a pizza with chocolate on top. I'm not sure what it tastes like, but I have a strong feeling that I'll like it.
99. What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?
Shit, I forgot to put my lenses in yesterday. And then I turned over, played a round of Cookie Run, and went back to sleep. I am a very, very bad person.
100. Do you get along with your family? Why or why not?
Yeah, I'd like to think. I'm basically like the butt of all my family's jokes, which is usually fine but can get quite annoying as times. Still feel like we're a really close-knit, happy family.

Serene Resort
Take your pick: comfortable or cheap?
What we say:
Small Serene Resort is located just up from Pooh's on Walking Street, so it's a good five minutes' walk to either Sunrise or Pattaya beach, but if you don't mind the location and are looking either for good value comfort, or not so good value simplicity, the Serene is worth a look. In front are some modern air-con rooms with hot-water bathrooms that have stylish and relatively spacious interiors in a white and green theme. There are similar but smaller air-con rooms in the back. All air-con rooms have satellite TVs and comfortable beds, and they're among the cheapest rooms with air-con on Lipe. In between the upmarket rooms are six tiny bamboo bungalows with nothing but a fan, thin mattress on the floor, and basic open-air bathrooms. These are cheap, but considering they're so far from the beach they're not the greatest value. The owners are a friendly lot of younger Thais, and while the whole set up is a bit strange, if you want to stay cool and don't mind being away from the beach you could do worse than Serene.

The best list of wedding cake bakeries in LA?
- c
- claudiamcd Jan 15, 2008 08:19 AM
I have seen all the posts regarding where to get the best wedding cake in LA. In the next few months I am coming in from out of town and have 2 days to make the rounds. So far the list consists of Rosebud, Fantasy Frosting, Cake Divas, Dream Cakes by Lynette, Takes the Cake, and maybe Sweet Lady Jane. I have seen many posts regarding SLJ but I still don't know if I want to chance it. Also, in my search I called Bee's Knee's and the recorded voicemail stated they are no longer in business. I want under $1000 and amazing looking and tasting. Does anyone have info regarding Dream Cakes by Lynette or Fantasy Frosting? Those are the two places I have limited information on.
re: ragazza
I 2nd Layers. But it really depends on where the wedding is. You don't want to spend a lot of money having the cake delivered. Better to spend the money on the cake.
re: ragazza
I will third Layers-
Layers Cake Design Studio
(818) 784-3918
13944 Ventura Blvd
Sherman Oaks, CA 91423
they do gorgeous and delicious cakes!!!!
I have had many birthday cakes done by Layers and been to at least 4 wedding she has done...pumpkin, banana, spice cake are my faves
under $1000 to feed how many people? Most of the places you're looking at are $8 a slice, so budget accordingly.
I used King's Hawaiian. Under $400 to feed 150 guests. People raved about how fluffy and delicious it was, but the bakery does not do any kind of fancy decoration. Luckily I just wanted a plain cake decorated with fresh flowers (from my florist).
re: Pei
We are thinking the total will be around 90-100 people. I only came at the figure of $1000 or under based on some per slice quotes I've received for a very plain cake. I know everyone says it, but I really do want it to look like a piece of art, similar to some East Coast cakes I've seen from NYC or Baltimore on TV.
I can tell you that Fantasy Frostings is probably the best bet for a truly delicious cake ( and beautiful too!). They are a little out of the way but totally worth the drive. They did my Son's cake this last summer and everybody raved about it. I have friends that had their Wedding cake and their childrens wedding cake done by them. I understand they are moving to the Pasadena area this year but contact Leslie (she is the daughter of the original owner, all family run) 562.941.6266 they are located @ 10050 Mills Avenue, Whittier but they were doing everything by appointment. Definently make it part of your stop while your here. Best of luck to you
re: jewels64
Thank you for the information. We had considered them from recommendations from my mom and our florist. However, when we looked at the website to pick sample flavors, they seem a bit off the beaten path. I thought we should get something mainstream as far as flavors go to satisfy so many people. I think some of the flavors sound OK but I was worried that they may be "too out there" for the masses. For your son's cake did you pick one of the combinations from the website or were they able to do something different?
Alsace Lorraine
Absolutely gorgeous wedding cakes and delicious too. They have the best tasting fillings and frostings, and the cake is very moist. Reasonable also... you can make an appointment for a tasting plus they have a lot of binders with pics.
Alsace-Lorraine Pastries
3842 Atlantic Ave, Long Beach, CA
I was married in October, near Downtown. We did a tasting with Dream Cakes by Lynette. I wasn't impressed with the cake...especially once she gave us the estimate. She is far more concerned with the "look". We ended up going with a red velvet & cream cheese from Pastries by Nancy in Altadena. Great cakes. Great staff. Really good price. http://www.pastriesbynancy.com/
Hansen's! If you express interest they will set you up with little cakes and cups of frosting. Now I'm hungry. Damn.
We used Regal Bakery for our wedding and loved it. We had a 3-tiered round cake(black forest, white cake with fresh strawberries, and chocolate cake with fresh strawberries) for 100 people for ~$300 three years ago. We tried many fancy cake bakeries (best part of wedding planning) and it came down to Regal and Hansens. Our goal was a beautiful, great tasting cake. Taste was essential. One key determining factors was that many bakeries said that we could not use dairy cream frosting. They were concerned with the cake losing form or going bad. Most did buttercream which we did not like the taste (too heavy - lose essence of the cake in the frosting IMHO). Regal Bakeries said no problem. Your budget is $1000 so you can get a quite fancy cake. I think it's important to narrow your decision down by determining what design and whether you want fondant, buttercream, or whip cream (dairy or non-dairy). This will limit your choices and you can focus on the taste of the cake. Good luck!
I think that Regal, Hansen's and Porto's, while delicious, are not what you are aiming for--a fantasy work of art that also tastes good. I have done tastings at Regal and Hansen's and they are much more traditional in style. They do not really want to do the "work of art" cakes you see on TV. Porto's is beyond yummy, but my friend wanted a very stylized Asian style with cherry blossoms and they were not willing to create it, they wanted to use fake flowers. She ended up with Sweet Lady Jane. I'll let you make your own decision on that, based on research you've already done. I will say it was not the best wedding cake I've ever tasted, but it looked amazing. Given the short amount of time you have to make the decision, I would eliminate these from your list, also Goldilocks, King's Hawaiian, Victor Benes because they are more traditional and not what you are looking for.
re: Slackerchick
Slackerchick, did you LOOK at the cakes on display at regal and Hansen's? OF COURSE they can do the fantasy cakes you see on tv! You need $$$, but the OP has a good amount.
For hansen's, they do "traditional wedding cakes", and put these on the "wedding cake gallery" on the webpage, but they also do good "party cakes", which can be very awesomely sculpted and decorated.
Also, Hansen's cakes taste GOOD. And the people who work there are pleasant and act like they want your business, not like SLJ, who acts as if she's doing you a favor and it is a hassle for ehr to do so.
Regal also can do amazing cakes.
But, for the stuff you see on "Food Network Challange", you may have to pay more and deal with a less tasty cake. Those high concept cake makers often make tons of cakes ahead and store them for carving and decorating. All that lovely sculpted fondant will look lovely, and be completely inedible. They'll peel it off before serving it to your guests, as it is not really palatable. The wackier the cake, the more structure it needs to hold up-dowells, plastic bits, wire fames, etc.
Here are some other links
Fantasy Frostings may work
Wonder Bakery in LA is NOT the place that makes the squishy bread. (that's gone) This place could do it, and its on Broadway!
If you want to go whole hog, go to sugarcakes in SB...if they can make M Jackson happy, they can make any bride swoon, for a price. And they WILL deliver to LA, for a price.
It all depends upon how the OP defines the "best wedding cake."
Is it more looks? Taste? Does she want Tradition? Does she want whimsy? Does she want what?
When I was looking for my cake, I did a little research. Wedding writers report that most guests find the typical wedding cake beautiful but bland to really bad. Many bakeries doing modern cakes focus all on that contemporary sugar sculpture and fondandt work-which takes A LOT OF TIME! Thus, the making of the cake is generally a speedy, near mechanized process resulting in a less flavorful dessert.
I wanted to wow my guests and thank them for celebrating with me by having a cake that looked lovely and tasted great. it also had to stand up to being outside for a ew hours in Santa barbara during the end of september. Yes, some frostings would have not held up!
Finally, I just couldn't bring myself to blow a huge wad on friggin cake. It's CAKE! One can have lovely cake without paying an arm and a leg. The "Lesser bakeries" can do a great job at a fabulous price. Sometimes, they'll work harder because they want to get the name out there and increase business.
I was pretty much settled on a bakery in SB that was smaller, but had a good reputation for tasty cakes, lovely decorating and a great delivery policy.
Then I was saved as my mother in law's book group, who had watched my husband grow from a sprog, gifted us with a cake they got together to make. One of the head bakers is a professional chef, baker, and beloved cook book writer. It was an amazing cake, lovely, wonderfully decorated with amazing frosting and fresh flowers, each tier a different amazing flavor.
it was not the sculpted TV cake I had originally thought of. It was gorgeous, and it was delicious, and all my guests raved about it. in fact, I never did get to taste the top tier (cardamom), as my darn guests ate it all before I got the chance!
re: Slackerchick
I agree as far as Hansen's and Porto's go. I didn't inquire very deeply about the styles they "can" create, because the styles they showed me in photos and in their sample galleries was extremely traditional. That is to say, like your mother's wedding cake: fluted edges, basketweave patterns, frosting roses, plastic swans...no thanks. Even if a bakery tells you"no no, we can create whatever you want" I'd be wary if they haven't already achieved results you love in the past.
Additionally, Hansen's and Porto's are both much too sweet for my taste. I don't know why, but while I like both their cakes the style and flavors call to mind a child's birthday cake rather than a wedding cake.
Like I said, I ended up using King's Hawaiian, but only because I love their paradise cake. I tried their other flavors, and have the same thing to say about it as about Hansen's and Porto's.
re: Pei
I might be a little late, but you should check out Caprice in West Los Angeles. Never had one of his wedding cakes. I usually just pick up something that's in the shop. They makes high quality pastries for restaurants. The owner Jean-Louis has always been kind to me. I recently bought a Susina cake as a point of reference and found the frosting a bit thick, but it was certainly a nice cake. The owner of Caprice seems to really know his stuff. http://capricefrenchpastries.com
It's on Pico just west of the Centinela offramp on the 10 freeway.
We used Lynette for our wedding and I loved it. I was really picky with my cakes too. I must've tried like 5 different places before choosing her. I love that her cakes are not too sweet like most places are. Plus her cake is really moist. She's great to work with too!
Layers is fab! Also try Cake Crumbs. Wonderful Couple from the east coast now located in Encino.
Address is:
Cake Crumbs
17233 Ventura Blvd
Encino, CA 91316
You can see some of their work at: www.cakecrumbs.com
They have wonderful sugar artwork!
Good Luck and congrats!
re: maily1028
Hey, has anyone heard of Pastries By Vreeke in Westlake Village? They have awesome cakes on thier website.
I third/fourth Fantasy Frostings. I used them for my wedding in 2005 and they were terrific! The price was great, they did exactly what I asked, and most important, the cake was delicious and beautiful. We visited them in Whittier (after many recommendations) even though it was a bit out of the way (we live in Pasadena). At first when we walked in, we weren't sure, as we had been to other bakeries that were a bit newer, more modern looking. However, after sitting down and describing some of our ideas, tasting various cakes, and talking and laughing with Leslie, we were sold. We were afraid to mention that we would need the cake and cupcakes transported down to Carlsbad (45 minutes north of San Diego) for a beach wedding, but they didn't bat an eye and showed up early, prepared for the sun, warm weather, and possible flying sand. It was an all around wonderful experience!
Well after walking into Takes the Cake in Pasadena, we should have walked straight out. They didn't introduce themselves, had us sit down it their small store front, which had dusty fake cake replicas, then plunked down our samples. Some lady there then gave us some water (which we deparately needed later because the cake was way too sweet) and said hmmm some of your flavor combinations were kinda weird. I admit not the best thing to hear when you are about to pay someone a few hundred dollars to make your wedding cake. Needless to say we did not end up going with them.
re: J.L.
After a tough decision we decided to go with Rosebud, although Cake Divas was as close to second as you could imagine. Both had wonderful flavors and combinations and our design was not a problem for either one. I would highly recommend them as well as Dream Cakes by Lynette. Fantasy Frostings needs to get into their new shop asap because their old shop is way over due for a make over and cleaning.
You might want to try NancyKay's Confections! We do wonderful delicious cakes with contemporary designs. Check out our website. We were voted Best Wedding Cakes, myfoxla's HOTLIST. www.nkconfections.com.

You have to love living in Fredericksburg! I enjoy walking my dogs through the forest paths of the Fredericksburg Battlefields, but you have to be out of the park by sundown because the park police lock the gate. One evening I was hurrying down the darkening path before sunset when I heard footsteps behind me. When I turned around to see who was walking behind me, I saw a Confederate soldier coming out of the shadows of the path. I was being followed by a ghost and I don't even believe in ghosts! I made a mental note to talk to my Supervisor at the library about getting some time off for my mental health. As I came to the edge of the woods and climbed up the hill into the clearing with a little extra daylight I could see that there were Confederate soldiers milling around everywhere. I had to be smack dab in the middle of a re-enactment. Whew! That was relief - scratch the request for a mental health day!
If you love mysteries and the Civil War, then you might enjoy Owen Parry books. The main character is Major Abel Jones, who is an unassuming tiny man who walks with a limp and uses a cane. He is a Welsh immigrant to America who serves in the United States army, but previously served in the British army in India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Now he is a secret investigator for President Lincoln. In Bold Sons of Erin, Major Abel is sent by Lincoln to investigate the sudden death of General Stone. The book begins with Abel arranging to dig up the grave of General Stone. When it is opened, he finds the body of a young girl who has been stabbed to death buried in the grave of the General.
Lincoln is the cornerstone of Gore Vidal's fictional American chronicle, which includes Burr, 1876, Empire, Hollywood, Washington, D.C., and The Golden Age.
"It opens early on a frozen winter morning in 1861, when President-elect Abraham Lincoln slips into Washington, flanked by two bodyguards. The future president is in disguise, for there is talk of a plot to murder him. During the next four years there will be numerous plots to murder this man who has sworn to unite a disintegrating nation. Isolated in a ramshackle White House in the center of a proslavery city, Lincoln presides over a fragmenting government as Lee's armies beat at the gates. In this profoundly moving novel, a work of epic proportions and intense human sympathy, Lincoln is observed by his loved ones and his rivals. The cast of characters is almost Dickensian: politicians, generals, White House aides, newspapermen, Northern and Southern conspirators, amiably evil bankers, and a wife slowly going mad. Vidal's portrait of the president is at once intimate and monumental, stark and complex, drawn with the wit, grace, and authority of one of the great historical novelists."
Part of Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Just wanted to thank you for a relaxing and wonderful getaway at your beautiful home, neighborhood and garden. We have been trying to keep the blooms up for the azaleas so when you get here tomorrow you can enjoy them for Easter as we have all week. I think you will be ok-maybe the cold weather has helped with that.

I just listened to Scott Brown on Howie Carr show laugh at what happened in Mississippi, say he didn´t care, and then had the temerity to wax on about party unity.Scott Brown is absolutely clueless as to just how incensed people are about what just happened in Mississippi. Why this carpet bagging Massachusetts hack has a chance in the "Live free or die" state is beyond me.I feel dirty just knowing I had his bumper sticker once on my truck.I did junk that truck along with the bumper sticker eventually.

Off the top of my head I can think of numerous critters that need to go that won´t.

It´s not enough for these Senators to be "uneasy" with the tactics.I call on all of them to stand up, speak out, and DEMAND that Cochran step down and allow McDaniels to run in his stead.

Republicans that have turned to Tea Party members see what has been going on behind the scenes for years now being done in the light of day. It is very unsettling. Our RINO establishment leadership has been morphed from true Reagan constitutional values and beliefs into textbook Progressives. They have lost their way in the wilderness. Their power is of more importance than the good and welfare of those that elect them and of the nation as a whole. This article I am quoting is exactly where Boehner, Rove, Cochran, McConnell, Graham, McCain, and all the rest of them in the Washington Ruling Class have gone too. They are all text book Progressive Republicans that believe big government is the only answer and is essential for the greater good. Without Big Government, the little ordinary people in this country would fall on their faces in failure with out their magnanimous care and concern. Check this out online and tell me if this doesn´t fit like a glove. Uneasy? HAHAHA, they should be scared you know whatless:"PROGRESSIVE THINKING,A Synthesis of American Progressive Values, Beliefs and Positions"Published by: American Values Project1624 Market Street, #475Denver, CO 80202

Dear Republican Senators,Please do be "uneasy". All that feeling "uneasy" will accomplish is to make you stressed as we remove you from office.
