Comparing Wisconsin and Minnesota
About a year and a half ago, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel published a letter from a writer in Waukesha wanting to compare, in retrospect, the economies of Wisconsin under the control of Republicans to Minnesota under the control of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party. Let's do that, shall we?
Minnesota, with an economy that is booming since the inauguration in 2013, has added jobs at a pace that far exceeds Wisconsin's. Its income growth is excellent. Its health coverage far exceeds Wisconsin's in the amount of population covered, which in turn lowers everyone's rates. (Hospitals and doctors don't work for free. Those charges get passed on.) Not to mention the investments made in its schools, the Mayo Clinic, 3M Headquarters, Mall of America and, dare I say, the new Vikings Stadium. You don't hear a whole lot of complaining coming from the business community abut higher taxes there.
Let's take a look at Wisconsin under the leadership of the so-called fiscally responsible Republicans running the economy of Wisconsin for the same period.
We are 35th in the nation in job growth. (Minnesota is fifth, tied with California.) Infrastructure reinvestment, borrowed to the tune of $1.25 billion. Deficit left for next biannual budget, $750 million, which wasn't a bad strategy by the Republicans: Let's show the people tax and spend even though we spent it. And even more people without health insurance, which raises my rates.
Let's reinvest in our children, help our economy grow through infrastructure and keep our neighbors healthy and insured. Don't believe the hype, get busy and do research through independent sources. A failed mine is not going save northern Wisconsin, but a unified state may.

Walker's actions hurt Wisconsin
Letter writer Dorothy Birner made strange claims on June 23 ("Walker good for Wisconsin," Your Views, June 23).
Yes, bring up income inequality. Teachers with a master's degree in Wisconsin, even with many years' experience, don't make as much as a starting MBA. Under Act 10, teachers took considerable pay cuts.
The Wisconsin Retirement System was solvent and a model for the country long before Gov. Scott Walker appeared. One cannot credit him for that. The system works because teachers and other public servants have put considerable deferred salary into it each year. Their money is put into their own accounts, invested carefully so the pension is there when they retire. Taxpayers have nothing to do with it. It is part of contracted wages.
School districts are struggling to fund education with Walker's draconian funding mandates, while failing charter schools that don't have to meet any standards whatsoever are getting taxpayer money that should support taxpayer-owned schools. One would think people would demand that their money go to their school systems.
And, no, we really don't want those billionaires here, when they buy politicians such as Walker and give orders to crush working people and give breaks to big business at taxpayer expense. Wisconsin lags behind most of the country in creating jobs.
Jean Timpel
Government of 'funders'
Shame on the Journal Sentinel for subjecting its readers to the cruel and unusual punishment of having to clothespin their noses while reading the interchangeable commentaries by Rick Esenberg and The Wall Street Journal ("Regulation burdens political speech" and "Prosecutors' free speech 'scheme' and smear effort," Another View and Perspectives, June 24).
Both in support of Gov. Scott Walker, they are merely thinly veiled misdirection pieces created to distract and bore the American public from the real issue of the corruptive effect of money in politics. We are losing our democracy to the moneyed interests — 1% of 1% provide $10,000 per election cycle and fewer than 200 Americans out of a population of 350 million provide 80% of all super PAC donations. If that doesn't disturb one, it should.
Our framers created a government that as Federalist 52 states, "is dependent upon the people alone." What we now have, thanks to a multitude of laws and loopholes and individuals willing to exploit both, is a government of "funders."
The real issue with Walker isn't whether he's guilty of campaign finance violations; it's whether he's guilty of pursuing an agenda designed to benefit his contributors and himself at the expense of the citizens of Wisconsin.

Mad Hatter public relations
Republican spin becomes curiouser and curiouser: Gov. Scott Walker had nothing to do with it. Gov. Scott Walker had a lot to do with it, but nothing was criminal. Gov. Scott Walker may have been involved in criminal activities, but everybody does it.
This is public relations by the Mad Hatter.
All one can do is sit back, have a cup of tea and chuckle at the wonder of it all.
Bob Shebesta
More information on pay needed
It always has been a disappointment to me that whenever something is written in the Journal Sentinel about jobs, figures are thrown around that often don't tell the true and simple facts. This is true with commentary, the Business section and news sections.
Recently, it was reported that a company was creating 400 new jobs in the Kenosha area that would pay an average of $15 an hour. That means the jobs could pay anywhere from $10 to $20 an hour. How many of these are in what pay scale? Does one start at $10 and work one's way up? How long will it take? How much of one's hourly wage goes for insurance, retirement, etc.?
I know I'm spoiled having worked in an industry where I knew from the start what everything would be. If someone wants to get into construction, trucking, manufacturing, etc., all one has to do is call the related union hall (oops, there's that dirty word again) and they will find out all the answers to the above questions.
Even when we lose jobs in Wisconsin, it is not mentioned why and how good these jobs were financially.
Richard Krebsbach
Jobs numbers and Bears fans
Mark Twain supposedly said that there are lies, damn lies and then there are statistics — so he would not have been surprised to read the letter regarding Wisconsin's job situation in the June 25 Journal Sentinel ("Wisconsin doing well on jobs," Your Views).
The writer stated that although it is true that Illinois gained more jobs during Gov. Scott Walker's tenure than Wisconsin did (which is bad for Wisconsin and bad for Walker), by simply dividing the number of jobs each state gained by the number of people in each state, a totally different picture emerges — lo and behold, Wisconsin's job gain is actually 31% higher than that of Illinois (which is good for Wisconsin and especially good for Walker).
Unlike Twain, I was surprised — surprised that the writer used the total number of people in each state as the denominator in his equation, when he could have used the number of people with access to affordable health insurance in both states instead. Then his figure for Wisconsin would have come out even higher than 31%. But an even better denominator choice would have been the number of Chicago Bears fans in each state. This would put Wisconsin ahead by about 1,000,000%!
Too bad Mark Twain isn't around today.
Mark Mertes
A lesson in Iraq
Do our leaders in Washington really believe that if Nouri al-Maliki actually steps down as Iraqi prime minister, all the insurgents will lay down their weapons, return home peacefully and relinquish all of their gains to this point ("Iraqi militants continue their roll," June 23)?
Really? They are kidding, right? And does anyone believe that what we are seeing in Iraq won't simply be repeated in Afghanistan in X years once all the U.S. troops are gone?
Maybe this should be a lessen for future U.S. leaders when they have to decide whether to get involved in the internal problems in foreign countries. Should we send in American troops to make things "better" with the probability of shedding American blood in future conflicts? Is what we are seeing in Iraq right now "better"?
William von Rohr
Who gets a bonus?
Thank you for the informative article about the bonus culture at Veterans Affairs health centers ("'Bonus culture' at VA attacked," June 21).
Following are some questions to ponder. Does a firefighter who risks his life to save a life receive a bonus? Does a nurse after working a double shift to support a life receive a bonus? Does a teacher who helps a child to read receive a bonus?
Julianna Ksicineki
More votes for Democrats?
The Obama-manufactured deluge of thousands of illegal immigrants from Central America, many of them children, now taking place along our border with Mexico is being called a "humanitarian crisis." But the thousands of veterans who died waiting to be treated by the mismanaged Veterans Affairs is merely a "scandal."
One wonders whether federal officials now furiously trying to find relocation centers across the nation to house these illegal immigrants are addressing the VA's disgraceful conduct with the same intensity. Not likely, because in the case of the former, what we're looking at is another generation of Democratic voters, yes?

Washington Code Talkers?
I would like to suggest that the Washington Redskins football team be renamed the Washington Code Talkers in honor of the Native American Marines who translated important enemy information enemy during World War II and the Korean War, sending messages using their Native American language ("Trademark board hits Redskins," June 19).
The code was never broken, and they saved a lot of Marines' lives. These men were truly heroes as well as warriors.
I see the Washington team keeping its logo as well.
Ken Locke
Leave gun-toting to the police
I could not believe that the charges were dropped against the woman who forgot her loaded gun in a restroom of Elmbrook Church ("Charge over gun in restroom dropped," June 24).
Heaven save us all from the carelessness of people who feel the need to pack heat in public places. Please leave the gun-toting to the police. I know I'll feel a little safer.
Lucinda Schiller
Agnostic or atheist, not both
George Wagner, a respected retired Milwaukee librarian, writes in response to Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki that "as an atheistic agnostic, I resent the implication that only God-fearing people can be moral" ("Morality does not depend on having a belief in God," Crossroads, June 15).
While I agree that one can be moral without believing in God, I find it impossible to understand how one can be "an atheistic agnostic." By definition, an agnostic declines to commit to a belief or non-belief in a God while an atheist positively asserts a belief in the non-existence of any god in a religious sense.
One can't have it both ways. Either one denies God, or one admits that one doesn't know.
It's like trying to be a little bit pregnant.
Don Richards
Energy, not power
The goal of achieving a more scientifically literate society can be accomplished in part by clarifying the meaning of familiar words. In the June 25 Journal Sentinel editorial on the Supreme Court ruling on climate change, wind and solar are called "alternative sources of power" ("Court ruling a victory in climate change battle," Our View).
Power is the rate at which energy is used or produced. Wind and solar are alternate sources of energy. A homeowner who pays a monthly electricity bill for 500 kilowatt-hours pays for 1.8 billion joules or 1.7 million BTUs of energy. The homeowner pays for energy, not for power.

It is true that diesel engines can run along time, but in a truck it is not doing stop and go driving. Most of the time they do not run over 45 mph on routes, which in turn is harder on the engine. We service our units half the amount of time recommended between services. When you have a limited amount of buses and with older buses down time will be more often. Then you end up with not enough buses to run routes.

very good. i found it very easy to modify to what i had on had. very versatile.
This is very easy and fast to make. For the herbs I used fresh parsley, thyme and tarragon. Tastes wonderful and so fresh. I used this to make Southwestern Corn Chowder. Made for ZWT 5.
I let this simple and delicious stock cook quietly while I made supper, cooled it and popped it in the fridge for later use. Easily prepared with ingredients nearly always in my fridge and pantry, I tasted it and found it excellent. No more stock cubes for me! Thank you, Mama Cee Jay, love this recipe! Made for Zingo!

After DOJ, Fisher Returns to Latham
Isn't government work supposed to be all reasonable hours and plentiful federal holidays? Not for lawyers at the U.S. Department of Justice, at least according to Alice Fisher. She's just spent two years hunting down bad guys, virtually round-the-clock, as deputy assistant attorney general in the Justice Department's criminal division. "I did the job as hard as I could for as long as I could," she says.
But after fighting terrorists and corporate malefactors, Fisher, 36, was ready for some rest. She took two-and-a-half months off, and then returned to Latham & Watkins, where she'd spent five years before joining Justice in 2001. Fisher listened to recruiters from other firms, but finding no "compelling reason" to change direction, she ultimately opted to go home to Latham. It's no surprise other firms wanted her. Fisher handled some of the biggest and hottest department issues of the past two years, from setting up the task forces on terrorism financing and Enron Corp. to serving on the President's Council on Corporate Responsibility and helping to draft the criminal provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
When Fisher started at the Justice Department--a mere six weeks prior to the September 11 attacks--she had no experience as a prosecutor and was eight months pregnant. But criminal division assistant AG Michael Chertoff had trusted her abilities. The two had worked closely together, first on the Senate Special Committee investigating Whitewater, then at Latham. Chertoff is now back in New Jersey, serving as a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.
Though Fisher, a graduate of Catholic University's Columbus School of Law, says she is looking forward to working with corporate clients instead of suspected terrorists, her life is hardly free of government entanglements. Her husband, Clint Fisher, is director of external affairs at the new Transportation Security Administration. Lucky for their two sons, Alice Fisher now lives the laid-back life of a corporate litigator.

"In other countries they don't need cones - they might throw down sneakers and be playing within five minutes. Often the reward for the players is doing something spectacular, even if not always scoring. Here if you take 30 or 40 kids and put them in a grassy area with no lines, cones, and give them a soccer ball, about 10 minutes in you'll see two kids pass it back and forth. After 20 minutes they look around and ask for direction - what should they do? Maybe after you wait an hour they're just starting to get playing."

After Donald Trump became the Republican nominee, he was asked on Fox News about his views on NATO and other American alliances. He gave his familiar "they're freeloaders" answer:
The fact is we are protecting so many countries that are not paying for the protection. When a country isn't paying us and these are countries in some cases in most cases that have the ability to pay, and they are not paying because nobody is asking….
We're protecting all of these countries. They have an agreement to reimburse us and pay us and they are not doing it and if they are not going to do that. We have to seriously rethink at least those countries. It's very unfair.
All the nominee had to do at the first debate was appear polite and reasonable for 90 minutes. He failed.
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y.—Before this week's first presidential debate, it was common for Donald Trump's television surrogates to predict it would echo the sole 1980 encounter between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.
It turned out, to borrow from another famous debate moment, Donald Trump was no Ronald Reagan.
On the surface, the analogy appeared reasonable. Like Hillary Clinton today, Carter in 1980 bet most of his chips on personally disqualifying Reagan. Carter painted his opponent as unqualified, ill-informed, extreme, and dangerous—an aging entertainer who might trigger a nuclear war through ignorance and belligerence.
For months, enough voters feared Carter might be right to keep him close in the polls, despite enormous dissatisfaction with his job performance. But when Reagan in the debate presented himself as composed, reasonable, and genial (swatting away even accurate Carter recitations of his most outrageous earlier statements with a jaunty "There you go again") the doubts softened, Carter's support crumbled, and the Gipper rolled to a landslide.
It's true that heads of state are particularly flawed these days. But some deserve a little credit.
Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson managed to make foreign-policy watching eyes roll—again—this week after he failed to name even a single world leader he admired. (Johnson said he was having an "Aleppo moment," but in deference to the long-suffering Syrian people, let's agree to call it a "Gary moment.") In truth, it's not that easy to pick a universally respected leader these days. The world's current crop of presidents and prime ministers are a particularly flawed bunch. Here, in semi-defense of the indefensible, are five who deserve a little credit.
5. Angela Merkel. Sure, the German chancellor may have driven Greece to the economic brink to make a political point, but she stood up for refugees when it counted. Her decision to declare Germany open to those fleeing the otherwise ignored horrors of the Syrian civil war continues to hurt her party's chances in Germany's upcoming elections next year. (Though it did earn her the approval of Johnson's running mate, William Weld, who declared her his favorite world leader.) And yet she is sticking to her guns, refusing to back down to internal pressure. Her tenure will be assessed on more than refugees, but on this issue, she has been the definition of political courage.
A new study looks at rates of lethal violence across a thousand species to better understand the evolutionary origins of humanity's own inhumanity.
Which mammal is most likely to be murdered by its own kind? It's certainly not humans—not even close. Nor is it a top predator like the grey wolf or lion, although those at least are #11 and #9 in the league table of murdery mammals. No, according to a study led by José María Gómez from the University of Granada, the top spot goes to… the meerkat. These endearing black-masked creatures might be famous for their cooperative ways, but they kill each other at a rate that makes man's inhumanity to man look meek. Almost one in five meerkats, mostly youngsters, lose their lives at the paws and jaws of their peers.
Gómez's study is the first thorough survey of violence in the mammal world, collating data on more than a thousand species. It clearly shows that we humans are not alone in our capacity to kill each other. Our closest relatives, the chimpanzees, have been known to wage brutal war, but even apparently peaceful creatures take each other's lives. When ranked according to their rates of lethal violence, ground squirrels, wild horses, gazelle, and deer all feature in the top 50. So do long-tailed chinchillas, which kill each other more frequently than tigers and bears do.
It looked likelier than ever at this week's "Super Bowl of climate law."
WASHINGTON—There's a commonplace when writing about climate change, a juxtaposition so familiar it almost deserves a name. It resembles CSPAN, but directed by Michael Bay. First, a speaker points to the prospect of 21st century ecological collapse: sloshing waves, ravenous forest fires, fathers weeping as their crops succumb to a drought.
Then, the camera reveals the rooms where people make climate-change policies today. They are wood-paneled, document-strewn, and full of briefcases. Compared to the Hollywood blockbuster that preceded them, they seem boring. They are boring. But then the punchline: In this room—this bureaucratic, tedious room—the fate of the whole planet is decided.
On Tuesday, during the most important legal hearing for climate-change policy in the United States this year (Politico compared it to the Super Bowl, World Series, and Quidditch World Cup happening all at once), a George W. Bush-appointed federal judge made a similar point about the absurdity of the circumstances.
In a unique, home-spun experiment, researchers found that centripetal force could help people pass kidney stones—before they become a serious health-care cost.
East Lansing, Michigan, becomes a ghost town during spring break. Families head south, often to the theme parks in Orlando. A week later, the Midwesterners return sunburned and bereft of disposable income, and, urological surgeon David Wartinger noticed, some also come home with fewer kidney stones.
Wartinger is a professor emeritus at Michigan State, where he has dealt for decades with the scourge of kidney stones, which affect around one in 10 people at some point in life. Most are small, and they pass through us without issue. But many linger in our kidneys and grow, sending hundreds of thousands of people to emergency rooms and costing around $3.8 billion every year in treatment and extraction. The pain of passing a larger stone is often compared to child birth.
An interview with the Economist columnist Ryan Avent on his new book about how technology will change the labor force
A "crisis of abundance" initially seems like a paradox. After all, abundance is the ultimate goal of technology and economics. But consider the early history of the electric washing machine. In the 1920s, factories churned them out in droves. (With the average output of manufacturing workers rising by a third between 1923 and 1929, making more washing machines was relatively cheap.) But as the decade ended, factories saw they were making many more than American households demanded. Companies cut back their output and laid off workers even before the stock market crashed in 1929. Indeed, some economists have said that the oversupply of consumer goods like washing machines may have been one of the causes of the Great Depression.
The severity of the crash is unclear.
What we know:
—An NJ Transit train crashed in Hoboken, New Jersey.
—Photos and videos posted on social media from the scene show extensive damage to the station and the train.
—A spokeswoman for NJ Transit said at least 100 people were injured.
We're getting reports this morning of a train crash in Hoboken, New Jersey. The nature of the crash is unknown, as its severity, or the number of people injured.
NJ transit train just crashed in Hoboken terminal. pic.twitter.com/ZevCYtYx8C— Eric (@big_Poppa_Chop) September 29, 2016
This is a developing story and we'll update it as we learn more.
For decades, the candidate has willfully inflicted pain and humiliation.
Donald J. Trump has a cruel streak. He willfully causes pain and distress to others. And he repeats this public behavior so frequently that it's fair to call it a character trait. Any single example would be off-putting but forgivable. Being shown many examples across many years should make any decent person recoil in disgust.
Judge for yourself if these examples qualify.
* * *
In national politics, harsh attacks are to be expected. I certainly don't fault Trump for calling Hillary Clinton dishonest, or wrongheaded, or possessed of bad judgment, even if it's a jarring departure from the glowing compliments that he used to pay her.
But even in a realm where the harshest critiques are part of the civic process, Trump crossed a line this week when he declared his intention to invite Gennifer Flowers to today's presidential debate. What kind of man invites a husband's former mistress to an event to taunt his wife? Trump managed to launch an attack that couldn't be less relevant to his opponent's qualifications or more personally cruel. His campaign and his running-mate later said that it was all a big joke. No matter. Whether in earnest or in jest, Trump showed his tendency to humiliate others.
It might be making neighborhoods less safe.
Black Americans are less likely to dial 911 immediately following, and for more than a year after the highly publicized assault or death of a black person at the hands of police. That's the conclusion in "Police Violence and Citizen Crime Reporting in the Black Community," a study to be published in October's American Sociological Review, the official publication of the American Sociological Association.
Three sociologists—Matthew Desmond at Harvard, Andrew Papachristos at Yale, and David Kirk at Oxford—screened and analyzed over 1.1 million 911 calls made to Milwaukee's emergency dispatch between March 1, 2004 and December 31, 2010. They isolated and further analyzed some 883,000 calls in which a crime was reported within city limits in black, Latino, and white neighborhoods where at least 65 percent of residents fit the race category, per 2000 Census data. They chose those dates in order to study what, if any, impact the brutal beating of Frank Jude by several police officers might have had on residents dialing 911 for help. The effect they found was significant.

A lot of folks on this blog seem to really be into the Japanese Role Playing Game. My history with them started out strong but faded over time. I played them on the original NES, SNES, Genesis, Sega Master System and so forth. At that time I was between the ages of twelve and seventeen. The last one I seriously played was Final Fantasy VII. Even then I was only twenty-two/twenty-three.
Even though I thought they were fun games I still liked the PC SSI RPGs better. That's really before anyone was talking about JRPGs vs. WRPGs and so forth. I just liked the AD&D system and the recognizable enemies more.
After that I went over to MMORPGs for a few years with Everquest and Everquest II...but that's a different story.
Since 2004 I was pretty much out of the video gaming community until picking up a PS3 in February 2011 as safety award from the company I work for. I looked at a couple of JRPGs but steered clear of them d/t the cartoonish nature and over-the-top ridiculousness.
I have played a couple of WRPGs including Dragon Age: Origins, Skyrim, and Mass Effect (I got an XBOX later and played on that). Skyrim is a very nice game and Dragon Age Origins gave me some fun hours. Truthfully, I found Mass Effect's repetitive side quests to be boring filler to lengthen the game and add no real value.
I've been on 1up.com for a few months and there are a lot of JRPGs fans. My interest has been peaked by talk of good stories with reachable characters. So, my interest is peaked and I'd like to give them a try. The first one I'm going to work on is Dark Souls. Yes, it doesn't look or play like your average JRPG. In that many may not consider it a true JRPG. However, you can go to Hell. I'm playing it anyway.
After that, I'm going to try something else. So, please tell me, if you were to recommend one single JRPG for the PS3 or XBOX 360, which would it be? What's the best one for someone like me? If you were trying to get a friend to play JRPGs which would you most recommend solidifying them as a fan?

I have a 15x30 ht area in which I do a lot of music listening. Music has always been firs and foremost to me. I recently bought Aerial Acoustics 7t's. I have 4 different subs right now all in that room. I'm going to keep either an Epik Phoenix or SvS pb12 plus 2 which will not be used when I'm playing music. The other three will find new homes. I want a sub that is fast and articulate with music. Budget is 1k delivered. The Rythmic servos sealed subs look promising as do some hsu and SvS models. Anything in that price range I'm overlooking? I'm willing to raise the budget slightly if there is something out there that is worth it. Any advise would be appreciated. Btw, my pre pro is a Marantz Av 8801 with separate Audyssey measurements for two subs.

I wold get rid of the Phoenix as fast as possible, as there is no way to get it repaired once something breaks on it. The PB12 Plus 2 ought to be pretty good though. The single best $1k shipped sub for a room of that size would be a Hsu VTF15h. I would go for two subs though, you might think about dual Rythmik LV12rs or dual Hsu VTF2 mk4s.

You may consider getting something that would compliment the SVS. Duals will smooth out room modes.

Dr. Wieland reports to the Deutsche Zeitschrift für Chirurgie that he has come to regard the conservative treatment with a 10 per cent. iodoform injection for tuberculosis of the soft parts, bones and joints, much more satisfactory in children than in adults; and analyzes in support of his view the report of the Children's Hospital at Basel for the last five or six years. He finds that tuberculous abscesses treated in this way healed very often. The method employed was to empty the abscess with an aspirator, then irrigate with a 4 per cent, boric acid solution, and after the cavity had been well washed out to inject 20 to 50 c.c. of a 10 per cent. iodoform emulsion, either in glycerin or oil or in water, adding a small quantity of gum arabic to hold the iodoform in suspension. As often as the abscess refilled the operation was repeated.

I am looking for a prestashop expert who can help me with an issue I have developed on my site.
I recently changed my site to a new server/host. I made a new database, and imported the data into it. Moved the site files, and tested. Everything appears to be fine, however, when I make a change in the admin panel, such a product description, I press save, it says Update Successfull, and I can see the change on the Front End. HOWEVER, when I click edit once again, all of my changes are gone, and I have to redo the description again, or it saves it blank.
I need someone who can quickly debug, find out what the problem is, and fix. I am NOT looking for a .. I can fix, please hire me.. response. Give me some feedback, with an approximation of what you think is going on, let me know that you know what you are talking about, and we can do business. Look forward to working with you. I would also prefer to pay a fixed price, so tell me your costs up front.

Every president takes vacations
This is in reply to the fellow from North Collins who was so upset that President Obama and his family went on an "exotic" vacation to Hawaii for the holidays. Since when is it wrong to want to be with family and friends for the holidays? May I point out that Hawaii, last time I checked, is still one of the newer states in our union. It is not Timbuktu.
The president was born and raised in Hawaii. For us, Christmas means snow and hot chocolate. For him, it's surf and sandals.
One has to wonder if Sarah Palin had been elected vice president, would visits to her home state – the "exotic" locale of Alaska – have been commented on by the letter writer or conveniently forgotten? May it be comforting that our current vice president, Joe Biden, just needs an inexpensive commuter train pass to visit his home district of Delaware.
As for the comment that the president follow the example of frugality set by Pope Francis, yes, even the pope has flown back to South America since his election this past year.
Here's an idea to calm down that writer. Perhaps during national elections, a notation should be put on the ballot next to candidates from distant regions stating, "additional mileage may be required."

Hire a car on your Barcelona break and enjoy great rates and flexibility. Save money when you book a flight + car package and choose from a wide range of depot locations.
Enjoy the freedom of a fly-drive holiday. Avis includes all of the mandatory charges and great benefits. Choose a car to suit your needs and explore in comfort and style.
Enjoy an upgraded car hire experience with British Airways. Choose a vehicle to suit your holiday type, whether it's sleek and stylish or practical with plenty of space for the whole family.
Book a fly-drive holiday to Barcelona and enjoy an unforgettable coastal tour. Spend a few days in the city, before picking up your car and exploring the resorts of the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada.
Drive up the Costa Brava to S'Agaro for a couple of days spent relaxing on the golden sands. Next visit Figueres, which was the birthplace of Salvador Dali – make sure you visit the museum designed by him. Then spend some time exploring the medieval architecture of Girona and the fascinating monastery at Montserrat. Or drive south to the resorts of the Costa Dorada. Visit the vibrant seaside town of Sitges, admire the ancient ruins of Tarragona or enjoy the thrills of PortAventura theme park. During the wintertime, opt for a daytrip to Andorra. Wedged between France and Spain, this winter sports haven offers some of the best skiing in the Pyrenees.
Enjoy this scenic route along the coast and see the glimmering shores of the Costa Brava. Just a short drive from Barcelona, Sitges boasts artistic heritage and a vibrant party scene. Perhaps one of the brightest spots of the Costa Dorada, this seaside town combines narrow streets and traditional whitewashed buildings with a palm-lined seafront and a flamboyant, carnival atmosphere. Famous for its colourful Gay Pride parade and prestigious International Film Festival, this energetic resort is far from your traditional seaside retreat.
Spend a spectacular day in stunning Montserrat. This picturesque Benedictine monk mountain retreat is located approximately one hour north west of Barcelona and surrounded by an area of natural beauty that is simply breathtaking. Park your car at the bottom of the mountain and take the rack railway, or cable car, and enjoy an exhilarating journey to the top. Learn about the fascinating history and religious importance of the monastery or choose one of the walking trails and take in the amazing views of the Catalonian countryside.
Take a trip to this small town, situated on the French Border. The birthplace of famous artist Salvador Dali, this town is home to Teatre-Museu Gala Salvador Dalí – a large museum that was designed by Dali himself and attracts many visitors. Alongside Dali's Surrealist masterpieces, you'll find various museums and monuments - as well as a calendar full of festivals and events. See examples of Modernist and Neoclassical architecture, alongside medieval walls and the outstanding castle of Sant Ferran.
Travel along the north east coast to Girona and admire the medieval architecture en route. Close to Barcelona, located midway between the sea and the mountains, it boasts a privileged position. This beautiful town has all of the attraction of a large city, but without the crowds. Spend a day exploring and find yourself awestruck by the charm and beauty that surrounds you. From the Old Town, with its intriguing history and grand cathedral, to the picturesque bridge and houses along the Onyar River.
Take a day trip to Tarragona and combine captivating history with one of Europe's most outstanding theme parks. Universal Studios Port Aventura is located in the heart the Costa Daurada. With five themed areas, an array of exciting rides and a water park, it's the perfect place to make the most of the warm Spanish climate. Beyond this, the city offers a wealth of cultural and historical wonders including a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the best-preserved Cistercian monasteries.

Hey everyone this is my first blog and I hope to make a lot more
number one on the list is Chrono Trigger
This is the best game I've owned for the DS. It's a reboot of the classic snes game and it definately does it justice. It will keep the casual gamers busy for a month and the core gamers will get the ten endings in a couple weeks tops. The music is still timeless and the old school graphics give you a taste of the golden days. All in all, a great buy.
Number two is Dragon Quest Monsters Joker
Imagine a pokemon ggame with a little more angst and without the eternal ridicule. this is a must have game if that sounds like what you really want. Theres not a whole lot of Draon Quest story line going on but its enough to keep you busy. A pretty good buy.
Number three: The World Ends With You
Drop what your doing with your crappy DS games and buy this one. In depth story line, changing trends and Equip, dual battle system, and everything you could want from a DS game. This is what you want. get it.
Thus ends my recommendations for good games on a not so great system. hope you enjoyed it

Tuiasosopo leads Huskies to win
Marcus Tuiasosopo (WHS, 1995) led the Huskies to a 21-13 win last Saturday over the University of California Bears.
Tuiasosopo ran for two 1st quarter TDs to keep his team in the running for a Bowl game.
Against the Bears, Tuiasosopo ran 39 yards for the first TD of the afternoon. Then after recovering an on-side kick, he threw to Chris Juergens over the middle for 34 yards and dove over from the 1 for the second touchdown. Brock Huard, out with a shoulder injury, is expected to start at QB this Saturday against Oregon State.
Following the game at Husky Stadium which was not over until 6:45, Marques made it to the 7:30 WHS homecoming game to watch his brother Zach in the Falcons' defeat of Franklin.

Funbuild 5:Jim Young T&J models 50" DH-88 Comet
After a change of heart on my entry I'm rolling this beauty out as my humble offering. I've sat on this kit far too long and I kept seeing it everytime I'd open my closet. Well, I thought that it was time I did something about that!
The kit is a Jim Young 50" Dehavilland DH-88 Comet. Originally designed for brushed speed 400's, I plan on roping a couple of brushless motors to the nacelles and hopefully hooking in a pair of retracts. As for the scheme, there's 3 known schemes(that i'm aware of), the red Grosvernor house, 'the green one', and black magic. I know that the Grosvernor house has been modelled a bit more, but it's not overdone and it's absolutely gorgeous, therefore i'm planning to give it a try.
Here we go, strap in for some fun!
Hi Danrc – should be a little beauty, designers back then certainly new how to make things that were just right!
Remember me!? We met at hobby town in Rockford a few years ago. I thing we were looking at the Peck Polymers kits. I did a search for T&J DH-88 and came across this post. I was thinking of building this kit as well.
I was thinking 3S 2200mAh for a flight pack.
We have a grass field so, I'll pass on the retracts.
I did one of these last year, there are a couple pics of it in my blog. I used the E-flight electric retracts, they fit without too much persuasion. I also went with a pair of Hacker A20-XL's (forget the wind right now) and use 3S 2250mAhr 45C packs. Interesting build, there are a couple difficult areas: watch the aileron torque rods and the tail wheel crank...both are somewhat difficult to get just right. If I were to do it over again, I'd just put thin servos out in the wings for the ailerons.
Ok, I've been slow to update, but I have started. The wing and fuselage parts are cut out and the assembly has begun. I'll get some pics of the planking process as it goes along. I'm anxious to build the nacelles so I can start figuring on the motor/retract placement.
Chris, thanks for the advice. I think I'll add servo ports in the wings and go with that option over the torque rod. I'm also seriously considering cloth and wbpu as my covering. THat might add some weight, but it should make for a nice sturdy airframe.
It's high time I give a report on my meager progress. I have been slowed by kids stuff, weddings, indifference, sloth...but I'm lighting the fire and getting this going. I have the fuselage started up and ready for planking, the wing is cut out and ready for the installation of the ribs, which should go quickly. The tail sections will be made from the supplied sheeting. I've decided also to install the best servos I can fit inside of the wings rather than monkey with the torque rod. personal preference.
I noticed that on Real flight that there's now a Comet that you can fly. Monkeying with the switches shows that the canopy hinges from the side....hmmmm.
I just never got around to giving this plane its due. Once I got the message from China that my retracts were backordered, I knew that I may be slow to the finish. I'll still work on this plane since it has taken over my build space, but it might be fall before I get it airborn.

I have been working on this kit for the last month or so. Seems to be coming along nicely. There have been a few hitches along the way(panelling) but all in all seems to be going well. Have Eflite (.10-.15) retracts that I am planning to use. As far as powerplant, Power 10 motors around 1200 kv if i can find them, and hopefully two 3 cell 2100-22000 mah lipos if the CG isn't too far off. Hoping to make it a screamer.
I built this plane last year. There are photos on rcg somewhere. You won't be disappointed,she is a great flyer very fast and rock solid in he air. It does like to tip stall, so be careful to keep the speed up. I have rebuilt mine once already and need to rebuild again as I crashed due to the aileron servo arm breaking. Cg is critical on this plane I used two suppo brushless motors with 20amp esc in each nacell. Run one motor in reverse and use a pusher prop, for counter rotating props

Historical Traveler Reviews HOTEL EUROPA OLYMPIA
Great place for tourists
I came here on a tour of Olympia. the beds were comfortable, the garden and pool were beatiful, and the food was great. I would come here on my next trip to Greece.
Really a good choice
It is located on a hill, 3 minutes by car from Olympia village. Friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were clean and spacious. Dinner at the restaurant was convenient and tasty. A good choice and a great value. It is definively a four star hotel.
An excellent hotel...
This hotel would be hard to fault. The service and rooms were clearly four star. Rooms were large, fresh and clean with the area divided into a sleeping and sitting area, The bathroom was excellent and adequate bathroom needs were supplied, Restaurant facilities were first rate. The only slightly negative aspect of this hotel was the food, which was fairly ordinary by international standards.
A nice place to relax after a day at the ruins
We stayed one night in connection with a visit to Olympia ruins and museum. Our room was clean, fairly recently remodeled with a pool view. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool is nice and great after a day of fighting off the tourists in the August sun. Dinner at the garden restaurant was convenient and tasty. A good choice and a great value.
We were here for a night in July. The hotel is attractive, high above the town, with nice views. Rooms are spacious. There is a good sized pool, outside dining, and a large breakfast room.
We came in at night and left in the morning. If we were doing it again, we'd spend a second night and leave some time to relax around the pool.
Superb Hotel
This is a fantastic hotel. The rooms are gorgeous and modern, the staff are incredibly helpful and friendly and the pool area is superb with a very convenient pool bar, with waiting staff who cannot do enough to help you!
Very quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of Ancient Olympia. It is possible to walk into town, but it will take you a good 15-20 minutes and really hard work on the way back up! We stayed here on the Bike & Sun Greece 2005 Tour. Our motorcycle was perfectly safe and plenty of parking for our group of 6 motorbikes.
If possible, I would have given the hotel 4.5 rather than 5 due to a slightly limited menu (but the hotel is better than a 4!). The food itself was superb, however because we stayed for 3 nights, by the 3rd night we were beginning to run out of choices! The outside dining area is very atmospheric with tables placed under grape vines and you really do not want to go any where else to eat and miss the stunning sunsets!
Perfect Pelopenese Hotel
The Europa in Olympia is absolutely gorgeous. The views from the balconies overlook the beautiful pool and the rolling hills of the Pelopenese. The hotel is up a quiet little hill not far from Ancient Olympia and is very quiet and serene. The buffet breakfast was fantastic. Rooms were a great size with a beautiful bathroom. Pricing is great for what you get. Would definitely stay here again.
A 4.5 Star Hotel with the Price of a 3 Star !!! Best Hotel in Olympia
Myself and my girlfriend have stayed in this hotel for 1 night in January 2005. We are astonished by the professionalism and standard of what this hotel has offered us.
++ The Location ++
The hotel is located at the top of the mountain in Olympia, its easy to find but unless you are very fit, walking to the hotel from the train station is not easy. It took as about 5 minutes to drive uphill to get to the hotel. On the good note, the hotel is away from the city, which provides a quite location with a great view.
++ The Hotel ++
The hotel is modern and new. There are about 20 parking spaces and its has 2 separate buildings. It also has a tennis court, a big garden (with birds and rabbits wondering around), a good fireplace restaurant, 2 large lobby (1 in each lobby) and an internet centre (with 4 computers). We stayed in the new building which has 2 storeys. There is no lift to the building.
++ The Room ++
The room is huge, clean and modern. It's like a suite with TV, 3 person L spade sofa, a coffee table, writing desk, 1 king size bed, electronic safe and a balcony (with table and chairs outside the balcony). The TV has numerous channels to choose from and if you are not TV person, they even have a radio system near the bed.
The king size bed is extremely comfortable - it's a pain to get out of bed.
The lighting is adequate with lights everywhere. The bathroom is clean with a good supply of things like soaps, shower caps, shampoos and even shoes polisher.
++ The Service ++
The service was excellent, we were provided with free breakfast. The breakfast was a fest !! Next to the fireplace and overlooking the garden.
Check in/check out is efficient. Show your passport, pay money and done.
** Things I like about this Hotel **
1. The Bed -
2. The Sofa
3. The Balcony
4. The TV
5. The Staff
6. The Breakfast
7. The Safe
** Things I dont like about this Hotel **
1. The Location
2. um. ... oh yes .. i cant find the coffee maker.
Best Western International in Olympia is a true 4.5 star hotel (even it rate itself 4 star). If you have a car or dont mind catching a taxi, This is definitely the hotel you should stay in Olympia.
I wish I can stay there for longer.
Very Pleasant Place
This family run US style hotel has good sized rooms and baths, a big breakfast in is in a quiet location away from the throngs. Also internet access is available. Worth the money.
Richard Hayes
Sheer professionalism
The owners of this hotel have been in the business for many years. There is no room for anything other than care, good management, and quiet luxury, high up on the hill above Olympia away from traffic noise. A dream stay (we've been there twice) Would recommend this hotel moist highly.

Hollywood on Ice
PARK CITY, Utah -- The Sundance Film Festival hadn't even officially begun Thursday when word circulated through the 4-below Park City climes that the Directors Guild of America had reached a tentative, three-year deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers -- or NAMBLA, as
David LettermanJon Stewart called 'em a few days back. So, of course, talk turned immediately to the Writers Guild of America and whether it too could come to an agreement with the AMPTP or remain on strike. General consensus? The DGA deal likely won't end the WGA strike any time soon. Said one high-profile producer who'd probably prefer to remain anonymous, "I'll take the over on the WGA settling this quickly. Likely another month, at least."
Which means plenty to ordinary folk, much less the motion-picture bizzers buzzing around the snow-capped mountains getting more snow-capped by the second. When a bartender at the Texas Stadium Skybox Bar at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport yesterday found out one of her customers was headed to Sundance, she said -- pleaded, actually -- "Oh, please, tell the writers to get back to work already." (Big Lost fan, that girl.) Most likely, figure some acquisitions execs and producers to whom I spoke yesterday, the WGA would love to drag this out till at least the Academy Awards ceremony next month, which could go cloudy because of stars refusing to cross the picket line. "Because then," says one producer, "everyone in the world will give a shit." At which point someone pointed out the shooting of President Reagan on March 30, 1981, delayed the Oscar broadcast that year by a single day. The show will always go on.
At the moment, it doesn't appear film buyers are looking to devour the 100-plus features making their debuts at Sundance. Despite early word that there'd be a feeding frenzy, some acquisitions executives said yesterday they were actually going to hold their forks; there will be no buying of crap simply because it featured a few well-known actors or a marketable director. (Yeah, but that's what they say every year.) It'll remain business as usual, for now, with distributors lining up for such presumably bountiful bows as the adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's Choke, starring Sam Rockwell (star of one of last year's Sundance pick-ups, the DOA Joshua), and Assassination of a High School President with Mischa Barton and Bruce Willis.
Several films entered the fest having already been tapped for the dance: HBO announced Thursday it had picked up director Timothy Greenfield-Sanders' The Black List, in which National Public Radio's Elvis Mitchell (former New York Times and Fort Worth Star-Telegram film critic) interviews Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Sean Combs, Toni Morrison, Colin Powell, Chris Rock, Al Sharpton, Keenen Ivory Wayans and some dozen-plus others about what it means to be black in America. Also getting picked up pre-fest: closing-night movie CSNY Deja Vu, director Neil Young's (yes, you read that right) doc about them golden oldies; Sugar, from the same folks responsible for 2006 Sundance fave Half Nelson; and a handful of other lesser-known titles.
The opening-night film came bearing a long-secured distribution deal: In Bruges -- a guilt-ridden hitmen-in-hiding comedy with Colin Farrell, Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes -- goes into limited release in just three weeks, courtesy Focus Features. It also came with a party, at which the biggest star in attendance was ... Mary-Kate Olsen, here with The Wackness, about a doper trading herb for therapy. Which sounds so very Sundance. --Robert Wilonsky
