The federal government's across-the-board spending cuts could hit soon in Western Oregon. Congressman Greg Walden says the feds plan to apply the so-called sequester cut this week to a program for timber dependent counties.
Eighteen Oregon counties are supposed to receive their last check from the Secure Rural Schools program this month. The program was created by congress to aid timber counties impacted by reductions in logging after the listing of the spotted owl, and has sent hundreds of millions of dollars to southern and western Oregon.
Congressman Walden, R-Ore., says he was shocked to learn the federal government is cutting the last payment by 10 percent.
"We're pushing back, and pushing back hard, because the checks are about to be issued. And once they make a decision and issue the checks, the likelihood of getting them to come back and do what's right is pretty thin."
Walden voted for the sequester, a package of across-the-board spending cuts that take effect in March. But he says it shouldn't apply to the secure rural schools program because it was part of last year's budget.
The Bureau of Land Management is responsible for making the payments. In a written statement, BLM spokesman Jeff Kraus said that according to his agency's interpretation, the Secure Rural Schools account is subject to the sequester.
"In order to be prepared if there is a sequestration, Interior took the prudent step to hold back 10 percent of the scheduled payments. We understand the importance of these funds to the viability of western Oregon counties in support of county projects and local schools. The BLM has distributed the majority of the Secure Rural Schools payments, totaling approximately $36 million," he wrote.

GAO: Staffing study needed at State Department
According to the Government Accountability Office, the U.S. maintains about 270 diplomatic posts in 180 countries, and staffs them with 80,000 employees. Those missions face new security challenges -- including a staffing shortage.
Michael Courts, acting director for international affairs and trade issues at the GAO, discussed that and other issues on Capital Insider.

Wetherby - Poem by Francesca Johnson
Whether or not to be
in Wetherby.
Not for the races,
no, not those sort of paces
but a walk
to the George or the Dragon
to gorge
on good company,
have a pint,
some fish and chips
and a look
at the river.
Good for the liver?
Maybe not.
But good for the soul, he says.
A delightful stroll,
hand in hand
with his woman.
And later, some beautiful loving,
stroking, moaning, breathless groaning,
heavenly sighs,
a rhythm
between her thighs,
quickening to the climax,
rising, rising,
to the final release.
His phone rings.
His wife asks how the overtime is going.
He tells her it is hectic,
as he always does.

Fran, this is exquisitely, painfully penned. That wonderful companionship of love followed by the surge of disappointment and, worse, the feeling that the author is almost used to or expecting that letdown. Sigh. t x (Report) Reply

Dan in Real Life: Real Life Is Boring
My reaction to Dan in Real Life is a big fat "eh." I chuckled a few times, rolled my eyes a little bit, and questioned Dane Cook's sexuality. I also felt some sadness toward Juliette Binoche and Steve Carell, two actors who seem to have been charged with providing the charm for this movie entirely, and who both give up under the pressure. Because I like these actors very much, it depresses me to report that Dan in Real Life is forgettable.
Carell plays Dan, an advice columnist and widower with three daughters. He comes from one of those big, goofy, aw-shucks families you only see in movies. The stupidly flawless kind of family that has crossword competitions! And talent shows! And group aerobics on the front lawn! It's so saccharine my teeth started to ache. Apparently the "humor" of the film is supposed to come from the fact that Dan doles out flecks of wisdom on parenting and life, yet he's illogically overprotective with his own girls and he ends up falling in love with his brother's new girlfriend. Unfortunately, it's not humorous enough to be a comedic success, and not compelling enough to be heartwarming. To see more of what I mean,
Here's my main annoyance with the movie: it's supposed to be ironic because he's an advice columnist who can't seem to succeed as a father/brother/son/boyfriend/person? He's human and flawed? Who cares? For one thing, they don't do nearly a good enough job making us see what a "fantastic" advice columnist Dan is. So why should we care when he's attracted to his brother's girlfriend? For another thing, while I love Steve Carell, his attempts to be (I think) a struggling widower who's clumsily entering back into the dating world come off as distracted, slightly ashamed and a little sleepy. Nothing about this movie gets me to care about Dan, in his real life or otherwise.
The best things about the film are Juliette Binoche and the music, provided entirely by Sondre Lerch. Binoche is beautiful, self-assured, funny and warm as The Perfect Woman, Marie. The moments that have any real spark at all are when Binoche has reason to be passionate. When Marie is jealous of Dan's date with another woman, she burns Dan's pancakes the next morning and glares at him while he eats them in front of her, a moment that contains a surprising mix of comedy and sexual tension. These fiery moments are only that, however: momentary, and they are mostly dependent upon Binoche's irresistible charm. Lerche's music adds a relaxing ease to the movie, making otherwise lame scenes tolerable.
The narrative, such as it is, doesn't just trudge along dopily, it meanders and veers woozily from side to side. At no point did I have confidence that this was all leading someplace satisfying. The artful, truthful beauty that director Peter Hedges achieved in Pieces of April is utterly missing. It's like his creativity plodded around in a circle for a while before curling up and going to sleep. I had a kind of naive optimism about this movie but found that real life really is pretty disappointing — even in the movies.

Fantastic Class - can't recommend it strongly enough!
By Barbara

About Me Avid Cyclist
Best Uses
Courtney was a terrific teacher; she covered so many key areas of the bike and really explained things in detail and in a very clear and understandable way. The small class size was perfect for being able to ask questions, get to know each other and to practice on the bikes. Being able to bring in our own bikes at the end and work on our own projects was fantastic. I feel really empowered and knowlegable about my bike and don't think anyone should ride any distance without taking this class.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fun course, great teacher

About Me Casual/ Recreational
The 6-week intensive bike repair class with Arnold was great. He is a patient and enthusiastic teacher. I left each class knowing more about bike mechanics and can now confidently do most basic repairs myself. I highly recommend this course.
Amazing class!
By Evan
from New York, New York
About Me Commuter
I recently took the 6 week intensive repair class with Arnold in Park Slope. Coming in, I was hoping to get a little more comfortable with basic maintenance, my prior experience extended to awkwardly changing a flat. I got way more than I anticipated! Arnold's methods provided the perfect level of detail, and I had the opportunity to do multiple work sessions on my own bike. By the end I had personally replaced all cables on my bike and installed a new shifting mechanism. I can't recommend Arnold and his class highly enough if you're interested in bike repair. We were busy for all 6 weeks and I have a new level of confidence with my riding.

Neil Montgomery, 41, is the manager of Thamesdown Hydrotherapy Pool, off Cricklade Road. He recently urged potential future Paralympians to join the hundreds of people with disabilities and injuries who visit every week. Neil lives in Old Walcot with his swimming teacher wife Joanne, 37, and children Danielle, eight, and Nicole, four.
NEIL Montgomery is one of those people who radiates positivity.
When he applied a couple of years ago for manager of the pool, he also applied to become a train driver, which would have fulfilled a boyhood dream.
His thoughts on not making it to the driver's seat? "It was hard but it gives me confidence they get the best people for the job. That's what you want when you're a passenger."
Now he couldn't be happier, and last year even achieved his train driving ambition at one of the Swindon and Cricklade Railway's experience days.
Neil was born at Princess Margaret Hospital .
His father worked at Pressed Steel and his mother was a nurse.
He was educated at Dorcan Comprehensive – now Dorcan Academy – and New College, where he obtained the physical education qualification that saw him taken on as an activity assistant and lifeguard at the Link Centre in 1990. He reluctantly admits to having saved people in difficulties more than once.
Later he was a gym instructor at the centre.
"Many people are scared in a way about walking into a gym," he said. "They have perceptions about it – that it will be full of fit people with big muscles, that everyone will look at them – but then they realise it isn't like that, and the people there are just like them.
"When people make progress, that's a really good feeling."
He has firm beliefs about fitness and the public sector's role in promoting it.
"My personal view, having worked in the leisure industry, is that it's an industry which can help everybody," he said.
"The fitter you are, the stronger you are and the healthier you are.
"This is where the Government is missing a trick because the healthier you are the less likely you are to need the NHS, and that will leave more money to be spent on illnesses that are unavoidable."
After 20 years at the Link, Neil was in need of a new challenge, and the hydrotherapy pool needed a new manager as respected stalwart Paul Charlwood was retiring after 31 years.
The pool offers soothing warm water therapy to people with disabilities and other health and movement issues. It is run as a charity and overseen by a committee of volunteers.
"I enjoyed the Link," he said, "but at the pool, when I see people use it and the enjoyment they get from it, that gives me a great feeling inside. There's a real sense of community – there's no prejudice.
"We have clients who have been referred by their GPs, perhaps because they are recovering from a back or hip operation. They see how accepted everybody is, and they come away with a good feeling."
Neil believes the Paralympics have broken down barriers. "I think Britain has changed," he said. "Let's hope it stays that way."
Of the pool, he said: "This is a fantastic facility.
"My chairman, Peter Jones, told me we were Swindon's best kept secret.
"I just want to tell everybody that I'm no good at keeping secrets."

Eoin Morgan: Loss of Kevin Pietersen will not alter Twenty20 vision
Eoin Morgan believes England can retain their World Twenty20 title in Sri Lanka despite
Kevin Pietersen's absence.
Pietersen was the star when England won the tournament in the Caribbean two years ago.
But the exiled batsman will not be involved this year following his row with England which has put his international future in doubt.
'Kev's a super player,' Morgan said. 'He was a guy I looked up to when I first came into the side three or four years ago. He is a guy who is so confident and that confidence rubs off on other players.
'But since we've played without Kev, the guys who've replaced him have done well. So I don't see us struggling, we're hopefully getting better with the players we've got.'
That has not been in evidence during the series with South Africa, which England trail 1-0 ahead of tonight's final match at Edgbaston.
They then fly to Sri Lanka tomorrow, where Morgan says there is every chance of winning.
'Absolutely' he said. 'I think our record since the Twenty20 World Cup has been brilliant.'
However, statistics show the team have won just nine of their 18 games since Paul Collingwood led England to their first major global tournament win in May 2010.
Things will be much tougher on the spinning pitches of Sri Lanka for a side led by Stuart Broad. Indeed, with memories of defeat to Holland at Lord's in their first game of the 2009 tournament still fresh, England are not even guaranteed to progress from a group containing Afghanistan and India.
Morgan added: 'It's going to be tough. You don't have to look too far back to when we nearly got knocked out in the groups. So we've got to be switched on right from the start.'
England will play two warm-up games in Colombo next week, facing Australia and Pakistan, before their tournament opener against Afghanistan next Friday.

Acerca del creador
At a very young age, I can remember watching my mother read and write letters for my grandmother who was illiterate. As a child who loved to read, seeing someone in an illiterate condition made such an impression on me that I vowed I would always try to help people learn to read and enjoy books. Happily, I am able to fulfill my dream by creating my own series of children's books. Being married to a professional photographer has provided me with a plethora of photographs of my children that I can use to illustrate my books. These books are a family affair, and as a teacher, they give me the opportunity to expand my educational reach beyond the classroom and pursue my passion to create a literate world.

Bearskin Airlines is terminating a number of flights from its schedule, mainly in Southern Ontario.
Starting next week, Bearskin will no longer be offering service to Ottawa or the Waterloo region.
Director of Marketing Ron Hell told Thunder Bay Television Wednesday that the cost of delivering passenger air service to those centres has been increasing, and the revenues have not kept pace.
Bearskin will also be reducing service between Thunder Bay and Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, North Bay, Timmins and Kapuskasing.
Hell said they will continue to service all those markets, but with fewer flights per day.
The changes take effect April 1.
Anyone with a flight already booked for Ottawa or Kitchener-Waterloo will be fully reimbursed.
Hell added that some Bearskin pilots and other staff will be impacted, but he could not say how many.

(Taking place in the Order of the Phoenix)
Regulus Black married a young girl named Violetta Nous.
They had a baby girl named Miriella.
Regulus died while trying to destroy Salazar Slytherin's locket.
End of story right? Well what happened to Violetta and her daughter?
Miriella Black, preferred to be called Miri, grew up not knowing she was adopted. She always referred to herself as Miri Wetherford, the name of her adopted parents. But what happens when the Wetherfords decide to tell her she is adopted?
Aside from finding out she's been living with strangers, she decided to find out more about her family. So of course, she asks her teacher, Mrs. Prewitt. But then she finds out she is related to the murderer and escapee of Azkaban, Sirius Black. Even though she is shaken, she is still determined to find her parents and more information of her family, not knowing her father is already dead.
So she sets out to Number 12 Grimmauld Place, the house of her ancesters. But what happens when she finds some unsuspecting guests?
Love is guaranteed.

Why do individuals go deep into medication? Or end up being societal workers? Or psychologists? And naturopaths and homeopaths? Why go during years of training together with terrible, unsettled medical internships? You could begin to go into economics or possibly weapons producing or lobbying?
Possibly the biggest surprise occurred when I turned on my shortwave radio. I swiftly discovered the frequencies for both the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) and the Voice of America. The distinction was peace corps job remarkable.
The lady who was the owner of the pension spoke excellent English and told us that she had rooms on two different floors of the the building. She took us to the top floor and told us to make ourselves at house. Undoubtedly, we did seem like we were in someone's home. There was a communal shower that was generally a "damp space"– no stall– peace corps volunteer simply a shower head. The house wasn't air conditioned, however we were permitted to take a soda from the fridge if we desired to. Then, we saw the very large balcony/terrace, which was very cool. The proprietor had enabled backpackers from around the globe to repaint on the white metal panels that made up the walls of the balcony.
Online tutoring can be of excellent assistance if you are specialized in some topics. While being an university student, you can try teaching school students for a charge. This not just helps you earn money however likewise assists you discover the subject extensively.
This good-news story, "80-year-old foregoes retirement for peace corps", discusses that there is no upward age restriction for joining. And it concludes with "play it forward" words of this soul who suggests joining. In the 13th month of her tour, Milicent Agnor says, "Run don't walk" and "if you are healthy, have a passion for life, go for it. You have much to offer and you will receive more than you give." This article makes no reference of what inspires her. There is no have to.
To put the concept to the test, I purposely started forming my words on my lips rather than in the throat. My own irritating doubts (I was notorious for this) disappeared practically over night. Suddenly I can put together a sentence that streamed with complete confidence from one end to the other. In fact, I can put together whole series of sentences that streamed with complete confidence from one end to the other with barely doubt in sight.
If you are having a hard time discovering a task, remember it is not far too late to go back to school. Even if you do not really want to become a psychologist, there are other choices you can discover. As an example, you could go to physical treatment or occupational therapy school. Or, you can even apply to pharmacy school. Contact your college's career center for career therapy. Excellent luck with your task search!

Fab Personal Stylista of the Day: The Fierce and Fabulous Anoko Zankli
I literally met this fabulous fashionista yesterday and fell in love with her style. As soon as I entered L2, we immediately bonded over my Christian Louboutin Cut-up boots. The whole night we talked about our love for fashion, and I found out she was a stylist, we ended up going through majority of her pictures on her phone. I was really flattered, that she had been to the blog before awws. It was so hard to pick which images to use, because I loved every single one and she is also a photographer so it worked out well I think she is fabulous, down to earth and just fun and so I am very happy to feature Miss Anoko Zankli as our Fab Personal Stylista of the day!
Greetings Sai,
What a joy it was to finally meet the woman that personifies FIERCE!!!! You are such a wonderful person with an unmatched spirit.
My Personal Style:
I'd like to say that My personal style is Couture-Chic with an Edge. Although I LOVE Vintage, I am definitely NOT a Trendy woman! I enjoy Contemporary styles however, I appreciate the level of detail and construction provided in Couture clothing. I love to keep my look very Elegant and Grown up. I'd like to say that my "look" is very Clean and Neat. I like to look like I'm prepared to travel First Class!
Where I shop:
I LOVE Filenes Basement, Neiman Marcus, Consignment shops, Thrift Stores, Woodburry Commons, and Century 21. I find the BEST pieces at Consignment shops because it's usually a Fashion Playground and is where People from all walks of life take their goods. I love a variety of things to look at when I'm shopping. I'm not interested in going into a store and seeing 15 of the same item on one rack. I love exclusivity….I like to know that no one else in the room will look like me! I have discovered Ah-Mazing designers in Consignment shops. For example, I would have NEVER heard of R13 jeans if I wasn't frequenting consignment shops. I scored a Brand New Vintage YSL leather blazer for $40.00 at a Consignment shop!
If you have the money, it helps to frequent consignment shops every week. You never know what treasure(s) you will find!!
Who Inspires Me:
My mother! She always made sure that I looked neat and put together as possible! She injected the "Women Rule!" fierceness in me!
The Designers that I gravitate towards are Ralph Lauren, Giambattista Valli, Dolce & Gabbana, YSL, Gianfranco Ferre, Marc Jacobs, Missoni, Michael Kors, Alexander McQueen, Kaufman Franco, Gareth Pugh, Rick Owens, Oscar De La Renta, Brioni, Lanvin, and Comme des Garcon.
I'm in Love with Textures, Subtle Colors, and Structured pieces that make a Statement. When you see me, you will remember me!
My favorite look would be a great pair of R13 jeans, an H&M tank or fun t-shirt, a YSL Blazer, and a Missoni scarf……and let's not forget my YSL Tributes and Ah-Mazing Prada sunnies!
I have fun with Fashion!!!! Wearing the best clothing is great, but your SMILE is your Best Accessory!
Just had to share an upclose of this top!
Additionally, Having great clothes doesn't mean that you should ignore your hair, nails, and personality! Being Beautiful comes from within! It's a total look! Your hair must be treated and Fierce! Your nails must be manicured as well as your toenails! Your personality should be Sweet and Humble.
Now if you ask me who's style that I love, I would have to say Victoria Beckham, Giovanna Battaglia, Miroslava Duma, Nini Nguyen, Hanh Merriman, Anna de la Russo, and Shala Monroque.
My favorite Quote: If you LOVE yourself and OWN your look, nothing else matters! Fashion is a non-verbal way of communicating how you feel and more importantly, who you are! It's very important that you know what works for your body type. If you are short, you shouldn't gravitate towards looks that are more flattering for taller women. I am 5'9″ and am a size 4, but understand that although people believe that I have the perfect model-esque body, Everything DOES NOT look good on me.

Ford 8.8 axle: 28 vs 31 spline
Is there any way to tell the difference externally between the 28 and 31 spline axle shafts?
Essentially what I'm looking for is a way to tell I wasn't ripped off if I hire a local guy to do an 8.8 swap on my 97 TJ.
What did it come out of ?
Explorer = 31 spline
4x4 Ranger= 31 spline
I don't remember offhand if there are any markings on the housing that will tell you. Have you checked any of the numerous websites that cover the 8.8? Most of them will have a section at the beginning of the info that covers axle identification.
When all else fails, pull the shaft and count.
The only Ranger that came with the 31 spline shafts were the FX4 level IIs, the rest had 28 spline shafts.
I'm looking at using a local guy who sources his axles from local junkyards and the like.
His price, installed w/ front gears to match, is less than ECGS shipped.
No real reason not to trust him, but I want to make sure he isn't buying 28 spline and sticking them under Jeeps figuring nobody will know.
Disc brakes = 31 splines, from an Explorer
I used to own a Ranger Incognito (Mazda B4000) and researched this topic heavily. Besides, you want disc brakes because they're easier to service and clean/dry better when wheeling.
As you notes, I want the disc brakes anyway.

rain, rain, go away…
I think it's safe to say, in the UK we have just about had enough of this rain! We appreciate that we need a bit of rain for the garden but a little break every now and again wouldn't hurt! We can hope, or even dream that warm sultry evenings sipping Margarita's in the garden are still to come. Fingers crossed we can still wear the new strapless dress we bought and take the opportunity to show off our summer ready skin.
At the moment these summer dreams seem worlds away but when the sunshine does decide to make an appearance the British instinct is to strip off…but it is vital that you prepare your skin before exposing it, either at home or abroad.
Every moment we are exposed to daylight (not just sunlight) adds up and is stored by the skin and 5 or 10 years down the line we look in the mirror in shock and ask what on earth has happened to our skin! Skins damaged by UV may exhibit symptoms from mild prickly heat and erythema to wrinkles, hyper-pigmentation and premature ageing. It also carries the potential for Skin Cancer which has become a global phenomenon, getting an increasing number of column inches in all the papers! Over one million new cases are diagnosed every year and the number of reported cases has more than doubled in the past 20 years. Over 2,000 people die from skin cancer each year in the United Kingdom. We are also seeing an increase in pigmentation patches in younger individuals, often suggested to be further exacerbated by the contraceptive pill, stress and artificially-fragranced products.
Prepare your skin by exfoliating, moisturising and protecting, you can ensure that your dull, pale winter skin will become smooth, bright and healthy for the coming months – no matter how the weather behaves. And remember, UV causes up to 90% of skin ageing so stay protected – leather handbag skin isn't a good look!

Reggie Rembert doesn't know what the next few weeks will bring. The former Air Force cornerback has kept his humor about his NFL chances, saying his workouts will at least give him a good "beach body."
He is hopeful, however. He hopes one NFL team doesn't see his short stature or his military commitment as a detriment and adds him during the NFL draft, which is April 28-30, or signs him sometime after the draft, when the labor situation clears up.
"All 32 teams know about me and say I'm a good player," Rembert said. "My agent says all we need is one team. I'll prove what I need to prove with that one team. I just needed one shot out of high school, and Air Force gave me that shot."
Rembert is unlikely to be drafted, although it isn't impossible after he made some All-American teams as a senior and running a 4.39-second 40-yard dash with a 41-inch vertical jump at Air Force's pro day workout in March. If Rembert does go undrafted, the lockout could pose a new set of issues. Teams can't sign undrafted free agents if the lockout is still in place.
Rembert's agent Drew Pittman has talked to teams, and hopes his client gets taken in the draft. He has pitched Rembert's versatility – Pittman thinks with Rembert's speed and hands he could help as a slot receiver, and can also return kicks – and mentions that even though Rembert is 5-foot-8, he has great coverage skills. He joked that being tall doesn't matter at cornerback if you can't keep up with the receiver.
"Every team is going to want a guy like him," Pittman said. "He has great work ethic, character and intelligence – and not just football intelligence, but overall intelligence too. He's the kind of guy you want on your team."
Rembert has called around, asking former Air Force players Chad Hall and Ben Garland and former Army linebacker Caleb Campbell about their NFL experience. All three have NFL contracts, which shows the service commitment isn't a deal breaker. Rembert said he's hoping to follow the path of Garland, who signed with the Broncos, used his leave to participate in training camp last year and plans to do the same this year. Garland was on the military/reserve list last year while he served his commitment.
"(Garland) told me to keep working hard, it will go by fast and don't get lazy," Rembert said. "He said to stay positive and do your job in the Air Force. The first thing is being a leader and serving in the Air Force, and second is the NFL."

~ Myles and Cynthia Kellam
For Cynthia
I use the term "heavy duty" to describe this class of electrical devices, not to imply that they all have the same degree of robustness, but to focus on devices that are designed and built to perform under high amperage conditions in rugged marine environments.
Wire Termination Devices
The first heavy-duty DC circuit components to plan for are wire termination devices, which include heavy duty electrical busbars, distribution posts, and terminal blocks. In the past battery posts, battery switch terminals, and other ad hoc connection points were used for attaching high-amperage positive and negative wires in an electrical system. Now specially made wire termination gear provides convenient, safe and orderly methods of connecting wires and cables carrying high levels of DC current.
Heavy Duty Busbars
Heavy Duty DC electrical busbars are solid blocks of conducting material (typically tin-plated brass) with multiple wire connection points. These connection points can be some combination of individual studs and/or screw terminals for attaching positive or negative wires in a DC circuit. All termination points on a busbar are electrically connected, which means the busbar itself acts as a large jumper from one connection point to the next. Therefore, busbars are best suited for connecting common groups of positive or negative wires from either power sources or loads. Special busbars for appliance ground wires are also available.
The conducting material on a busbar is fastened to a non-conducting base block made of ABS or other plastic, which in turn is used for mounting to a bulkhead or other convenient surface.
Heavy duty busbars are available in a wide range of styles and have current ratings from 100 to 600 amps. Some models have only stud termination points (typically four). Wires and cables must have ring lugs or terminals correctly sized to fit over the stud without being oversized and risking poor electrical contact. Some heavy duty busbars have two studs (one at each end) with smaller screw terminal connection points in between, and some busbars with lower amperage ratings have only screw terminals.
Dual busbars with screw terminals are also available for terminating both positive and negative wires on a single mounting block. Dual buses have one common bus for terminating positive wires and a second common bus, electrically isolated from the first, for terminating negative wires.
Heavy duty busbars are rated according to their continuous current capacity and their maximum DC voltage. Since busbars can also be used for AC systems, a rating for AC maximum voltage is also given. When selecting busbars, make sure to select models with a sufficient current and voltage rating for your needs.
Busbars have some advantages over single-stud distribution posts. One is that they can handle more wire terminations on a single piece of gear. The potential for poor electrical contact increases with the number of wires connected to a single post or stud. To address this point, ABYC standards state, "No more than four conductors shall be secured to any one terminal." Another plus for busbars is that they allow wires of varying size to be connected on the same piece of gear, and allow wires to be arranged in a more orderly pattern.
The connections on a busbar should always be protected from accidental contact by a non-conducting cover of some type. Some busbars on the market have specially made plastic covers for this purpose.
Distribution Posts
Distribution posts provide a safe, secure connection point for up to four high amperage cables on a single post. Distribution posts are not typically rated for amperage since current flow is between the various conductors and their terminals, not the post itself. They are, however, rated for maximum DC voltage. Distribution posts for the marine market are typically rated up to 48 volts DC.
Some distribution posts also provide low-amperage screw terminals around the base for connecting conductors from controls, displays, monitor shunts and appliances with small electrical loads. In certain applications this piece of gear can eliminate the need for an additional post or busbar.
As with busbars, distribution posts typically have a mounting base made of non-conducting material, with recessed mounting screw holes to avoid contact with the conductors on the post. Some models come with a rubber or plastic insulating boot color coded for positive (red) or negative (black) wires. The boot is only good, however, for one or two wires. Terminal protection for the other wires on the post is often left to the customer.
Terminal Blocks
Terminal blocks provide a convenient common connection point for wires in multiple DC circuits. Using a terminal block, individual circuits in a wire harness can be terminated and rerouted to either an appliance, a power source, or a monitoring or control device.
In a typical terminal block there are individual pairs of screws serving as circuit connection points for incoming and outgoing conductors. These isolated screw pairs-isolated by the mounting base itself and by raised plastic separators between circuits- can easily be joined by a properly rated metal jumper to give the required number of connection points for each circuit.
Terminal blocks typically have a closed back design, which means the electrical power at the screw terminals is completely insulated from the mounting surface.
In the next installment of this column we'll review the heavy duty battery switching devices currently on the market, and how best to use them.
In the last issue we discussed heavy duty wire termination devices such as busbars, distribution posts and terminal strips. In this issue we'll take a look at the various heavy duty battery switches currently available and how best to use them.
Heavy Duty Battery Switches
For many years the ubiquitous 1-2-BOTH-OFF battery switch was the only heavy duty switch on a boat. Now there are several varieties to chose from allowing boaters to perform a wide range of tasks.
1-2-BOTH-OFF Battery Switches
1-2-BOTH-OFF battery switches, supplied with most standard production boats, are primarily intended for electrical systems which have two battery banks, with each bank used for both house loads and engine starting. The switch directs which battery bank accepts the charging current (from alternator(s), renewable chargers, etc.) and which battery bank supplies current to the loads, and for disconnecting the batteries completely from the rest of the electrical system.
This type of battery switch has three main cable connection points in the form of heavy duty threaded studs. One stud is for a positive cable from positive side of battery bank 1, one stud is for a positive cable from the positive side of bank 2, and one stud is a common terminal. Typically the electrical charging sources and loads on board are connected to the common terminal. When the switch is in Position 1, everything that is connected to the common terminal is linked to battery bank 1. When the switch is in Position 2, everything that is connected to the common terminal is linked to battery bank 2, and in the BOTH position the common terminal is linked to both battery banks, which are temporarily connected together in parallel through the switch. The OFF position allows you to disconnect the battery banks from all charging sources and loads.
While mainly for a 2-house
battery bank system, a 1-2-BOTH-OFF switch can also be used when
setting up a system with one house bank and a designated starting
battery. Simply do the following:
ON-OFF Battery Switches
1-2-BOTH-OFF battery switches still have their place, but many boaters are setting up their electrical systems with one large house bank and designated engine starting batteries for auxiliaries and gen-sets. For these systems, a simple ON-OFF battery switch to isolate or disconnect the house bank makes more sense.
Lighter duty ON-OFF switches, often called Mini Battery Switches, can be used to disconnect small starting batteries, but they have other uses in an electrical power system. They also serve as convenient circuit disconnects for larger branch DC circuits on board, including circuits for high amperage appliances and charging sources.
When setting up a system with a single house bank, run a heavy duty cable from the positive terminal of the house battery bank to the input terminal of the ON-OFF switch. As a first line of defense against short circuits I recommend that a class T fuse be placed in that cable as close to the battery bank as possible. Direct the output of the battery switch to a heavy duty positive busbar, where all charging sources and loads are connected. Of course, all charging sources and loads should have their own means of disconnect and circuit protection.
Use a Mini Battery Switch in the cable between the positive terminal of the start battery and the engine starter. The start battery can also be connected to the house bank through another Mini Battery Switch used as an emergency parallel switch to temporarily join the start and house banks.
Switch Construction & Ratings
Battery switches for the house battery bank and engine starting battery(s) should have an amperage rating to handle the maximum current expected in the system. A house bank battery switch with a continuous rating of 300 amps and intermittent amperage rating of 400 amps is a good choice for most marine systems. Blue Sea Main Battery Switches are well made, reasonably priced, and meet these amperage ratings. Mini Battery Switches from Blue Sea are rated at 250 amps continuous and 375 amps intermittent. Some models have a removable key to avoid accidental switching of critical loads or charging sources.
Many battery switches on the market come equipped with an Alternator Field Disconnect (AFD) switch that protects the diodes in an engine-driven alternator in the event someone inadvertently changes the position of the main switch while the engine is running. An AFD is a secondary switch inside the main switch, connected to the field wire of the voltage regulator. When the position of the main switch is changed, the AFD opens (which stops the alternator output) before the main switch contacts open, and the AFD closes again before the main switch contacts close.
Battery switches can be direct mounted to a bulkhead or other flat surface, or they can be flush mounted to standard or custom electrical panels. The electrical contacts are on the rear side of the switch, protected from accidental human contact.
In the next issue we'll continue on with heavy duty DC circuit components by reviewing the heavy duty circuit breakers currently available.
Part III
In part three of our treatment of heavy duty DC circuit components we will review the heavy duty circuit protection devices on the market, including both fuses and heavy duty circuit breakers.
All electrical circuits need to be protected from too much current flow, which can cause wire conductors to overheat and wire insulation to burn, and can damage internal circuits in individual appliances. Protection of an electrical circuit is in the form of an intentional weak link, typically a fuse or circuit breaker, which the industry refers to as a circuit protection device (CPD). Circuit protection on board a boat must be taken seriously, especially for high amperage circuits. A potentially devastating electrical fire can result when too much amperage travels through a wire and enough heat is generated to melt and burn the wire insulation and surrounding materials. Multihull sailor's can now choose either fuses or circuit breakers for high-amperage applications.
Heavy Duty Fuses
Heavy duty fuses are strictly thermal devices that melt at a predetermined amperage. They are reliable and relatively inexpensive, although total cost includes 1) the purchase of a fuse mounting block and a protective cover of some type, 2) spares since fuses must be replaced after each overcurrent condition, and 3) some form of circuit disconnect.
Class T Fuses
This is the fuse recommended by most inverter manufacturers. It has extremely fast short-circuit response and a 20,000 Ampere DC Interrupt Capacity, and is rated for up to 160 VDC.
ANL Fuses
ANL fuses have a 6000 Ampere DC Interrupt Capacity and meet ABYC requirements for main DC circuit protection on large battery banks with a voltage up to 32VDC.
SEA Fuses
SEA fuses that are an economical choice for circuit protection between 100 and 300 amperes. They have a 2000 Amperes DC Interrupt Capacity and are rated for up to 32VDC.
MaxiTM Fuses
These fuses are the most economical choice for between 30 and 80 ampere circuit protection. They have a1000 Ampere DC Interrupt Capacity and a 32VDC Voltage Rating. They are inexpensive and widely available through automotive stores.
Heavy Duty Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers can be thermal or magnetic devices, or a combination of the two. Circuit breakers are typically more expensive than fuses, especially for high load circuits, but in the long run they can actually be less expensive since they also serve as circuit disconnects and since they are resettable the need to carry spares is not as critical.
Thermal Circuit Breakers
The T-1 Series CPDs from Blue Sea are thermally responsive bi-metal breakers combining switching and breaker function in one unit. They are available with ampere ratings from 25 to150 amperes, a Voltage Rating of 48VDC, and a 5000 Amperes @24VDC Interrupt Rating. Blue Sea's standard Thermal Circuit Breakers are similar to the T-1 Series but have a 3000 Ampere DC Interrupt Rating, a 30VDC Voltage Rating.
Magnetic Circuit Breakers
Magnetic circuit breakers are available in a wide range of styles and ratings. There are standard DC and AC single pole circuit breakers used for protecting branch circuits in electrical distribution panels. Some low ampere models rated as "quick trip" are designed specifically for electronics. Double pole AC breakers are available to switch both hot and neutral legs of a 120VAC circuit or two hot legs of a 240VAC circuit. Standard magnetic circuit breakers typically have a 2000-3000 Ampere Interrupt Rating, although some models are available with a 5000 Ampere Interrupt Rating.
It used to be that only fuses could handle heavy DC loads, but high load circuits can now be protected with single, double or triple pole breakers such as the DC C-Series models from Blue Sea. In this series single C-Series breakers rated up to 100 amperes each are ganged to provide various levels of protection. Sizes range from 50 ampere single pole to 300 ampere triple pole models.

text: Hi, When fitting my new towbar last night we discovered we had to remove a semi-circle section from the reinforcing beam inside the rear bumper. This we did by drilling around the grinding the rest out. Unfortunately the drill slipped once it had gone through the metal and has drilled through the black lower skirt on the bottom of the bumper! Question is, can this be replaced on it's own - the black lower lip? Does it come off? Are they expensive or am I better off buying a used bumper from eBay and robbing it from there, or will I need a whole bumper? I wasn't sure if it was glued on or just clipped? Also, is the rear bumper the same on the A4 as it is on the S4? Mine is an S4. Thanks Dan

Pretoria - The National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) will be able to help only half of the students who apply for funding this year.
This is despite a supplementary injection of R230 million to the R9 billion budget for this year.
The money was paid into the troubled fund by the Department of Higher Education on Tuesday, after students ran riot and marched at universities on Monday to protest against the failure to pay fees.
Making the announcement on Tuesday, NSFAS chief executive Msulwa Daca said they had already paid out R7.4bn of last year's R8.3bn this year.
The money was a significant increase over this time last year.
Daca said: "This is the single biggest amount of funding NSFAS has ever made by January of any year in its history."
Payments would be finalised by the second week of February, well ahead of the March deadline, he added.
The money from the Department of Higher Education would help to pay funds to universities and settle outstanding fees owing from the last academic year for students who applied for funding from the scheme last year but did not receive it due to money running out.
Daca said students continued to study for the whole year without funding.
"We must now pay off their student debt for last year before they can register for 2014," he said.
Daca added that an advance payment for this year, to the value of 10 percent of their annual allocation, had also been made to all FET colleges.
"We are waiting for requests from universities for a similar advance payment, which we make at this time each year."
Earlier, Daca admitted that the R8.3bn allocation had not been enough to keep pace with the number of students who needed assistance. He said last year's shortfall had amounted to R2.6bn.
He said this year's budget of more than R9.7bn for more than 430 000 students at all 25 public universities and 50 public FET colleges would be affected by the rise in tuition and other fees.
The failure to meet financial assistance demand encouraged the South African Students Congress (Sasco) this week to call for mass action, carried out nationwide on Monday, in an effort to force institutions and the NSFAS to facilitate accessibility to academic institutions.
The organisation accused the NSFAS and universities of blocking access for children of workers and the poor, and said changes, including the new no-walk-in policy and the requirement to apply online, were exclusionist.
The DA Youth also condemned the shortage of funds and said NSFAS assistance had to be expanded for all who qualified.

text: Oceana mayor under fire from city councilman again By David Gutman August 23, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- A member of the Oceana City Council has filed another ethics complaint against the town's mayor after $30,000 the council approved for upgrades to the town water system was unavailable when the water plant's operators tried to order necessary equipment.In the complaint, sent Sunday to the West Virginia Ethics Commission, City Councilman Don Morgan alleges that Mayor John Roach gave the money to the Kopperston Public Service District, without council approval, to settle a past debt.Under a 2011 agreement, Oceana runs the water system and collects payments for nearby Kopperston. However, Morgan said Oceana has been using the Kopperston water fees for other purposes -- payroll, street sweeping, weed cutting -- and has not been maintaining its water system.The Oceana water system, which serves Oceana, Kopperston, Lynco, Lillydale and Crouchs Farm, lost more than half the water that was pumped out of its water plant last year. According to its filing with the state Public Service Commission, 55 percent of the water that left the plant was lost and unaccounted for in fiscal 2012, which ended in June.The Public Service Commission considers any rate of lost, unaccounted for water above 15 percent to be unacceptable.Oceana's lost-water rate, nearly four times the acceptable rate, is high but not unique."This just happens with a lot of these older systems that have not been able to make the capital investments to keep the system up," said PSC spokeswoman Susan Small. "Some of these pipes are 75 to 100 years old."Morgan, who is the water plant operator in Pocahontas, Va., and in Man, Logan County, said the $30,000 the council recently approved would make a big difference, potentially reducing operating costs by as much as 50 percent. Oceana ranks 240th out of 395 cities, districts and municipalities around the state in terms of water affordability, according to PSC records.Much of that money would have been used to buy three new altitude valves, which control water as it goes in and out of central tanks.The money for the valves was approved at a council meeting in early July.When water plant operator Mike Morgan, Don's brother, filled out the purchase orders for the needed parts in early August, he was told by city Treasurer Tami Morgan (who is not related to Don or Mike Morgan) the money was unavailable, according to Jesse Womack, a member of the City Council and the town's water commissioner.On Thursday, Tami Morgan said she had been unaware the council had approved the new equipment. She said the city is now in the process of purchasing the necessary equipment, and has been for two weeks. Womack said no one told him until Thursday morning that the equipment was being purchased, after Tami Morgan was contacted by the Gazette-Mail.Roach did not respond to repeated requests for comment. In May, City Attorney Lela Walker sent a memo to the Oceana mayor and City Council, advising them not to speak to The Charleston Gazette. Don Morgan filed a second ethics complaint against Roach on Sunday. In it, he alleges that Roach is holding special council meetings and not advising all council members about the special meetings."They call the special meetings constantly," Womack said, "particularly when it's something important."Morgan said Roach is calling two to three special council meetings per month, and holding them on Wednesday nights (when many people go to church) and Friday nights, so that fewer people will come. Regular council meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month."It's just an effort to keep people from coming," Morgan said. "The last time I served on the council, in 2008, we had one special meeting in a two-year period. Now there's three a month."In October, Morgan filed ethics complaints against Roach; two city councilmen, Bryant Whisenant and Mike Fleshman; two former city council members and three other city officials. In those complaints, Morgan alleged that the mayor and City Council allowed the city mechanic, Ken Graham, to operate an unlicensed private garage out of his residence. Morgan alleged Graham spent nearly $97,000 of the city's money on auto parts over a two-year period and that much of that money was spent for his personal business.About $47,000 of that was spent at Hometown Auto Parts, a local NAPA affiliate. In May the Ethics Commission determined that there was probable cause to pursue the complaints and it began formal investigations.In a letter to Graham dated May 1, the commission wrote:"The invoices from Hometown Auto Parts bear your name as the person who received those parts on behalf of the Town of Oceana. Amongst those invoices are invoices which have no indication as to why those items were purchased. It is alleged those undocumented invoices were for items used in your private business and/or for private work on the personal vehicles of town council members."The Ethics Commission would neither confirm nor deny the existence of any investigations.Reach David Gutman at email@example.com or 304-348-5119.

Queanbeyan, Australia and Singapore – Australian renewable energy firm, Dyesol Limited, and the Energy Research Institute at Nanyang Technological University (ERI@N) in Singapore have advanced their international research collaboration plans with the formal signing of their Research Collaboration Agreement.
The two-year agreement will see a sharing of resources to create scalable and commercially feasible solid state Dye Solar Cell technology (DSC) technology, a low-cost renewable energy technology that operates efficiently in variable and low-light conditions.
"This collaboration is highly beneficial for both parties and leverages our complementary skill sets," said Dyesol CEO Gordon Thompson.
"NTU will provide the innovation inspiration, and Dyesol will provide the development perspiration by scaling-up and testing for durability the small-scale technology that NTU will develop."
"It is a lot of work to go from a test cell to something that is industrially scalable, in terms of performance, durability, and cost, and that is where we spend more time in Australia. By working together to create scalable and commercially feasible solid state DSC we will open up a huge range of applications where we are currently limited with the materials we have," he added.
Under the agreement, NTU and Dyesol will share Intellectual Property (IP) and Dyesol will have the opportunity to take out commercialisation rights for the new IP granted under this agreement.
ERI@N Executive Director, Prof. Subodh Mhaisalkar said the DSC is currently one of the most promising technologies for achieving cost efficient solar cell technologies based on earth abundant and low cost materials such as titanium dioxides.
"In the upcoming projects, we aim to optimise the solid state DSC devices, to high efficiency cells which are more reliable and more amenable to scaling and manufacturing than conventional liquid electrolyte based solar cells. Partnering with the DSC industry leader, Dyesol, is an important synergy for ERI@N as we are making significant impact in the area of solar energy capture and storage."
Nanyang Technological University, a fast rising global university, has many important industry partnerships with prestigious multinational industrial leaders and academic institutions. Dyesol is a key research partner in the university's drive to tackle the important global issue of sustainable energy production for real-world applications.
The project will be overseen by the inventor of Dye Solar Cell technology, celebrated photo-chemist Professor Michael Graetzel, who is Chairman of both the Energy Research Institute at NTU's (ERI@N) Scientific Advisory Board and Dyesol's Technical Advisory Board.
"The potential applications for solid state DSC will expand the opportunities for taking DSC out of the laboratory and into the global economy," said Professor Michael Graetzel.
DSC photovoltaic technology has the ability to be readily integrated into a number building-product, consumer and industrial applications.

Volunteers Across America: Arizona
My name is Marcia Snyder. I am a substitute teacher and a volunteer for Obama for America in Phoenix, Arizona. As a cancer survivor, I know how important it is to have affordable health care coverage. When President Obama was fighting to pass the Affordable Care Act, it inspired me to get involved helping the President. I heard so many people spreading false rumors about the President's plan, and it really frustrated me. Instead of just sitting around listening to the commentators, I decided to do something to fight back—so I started volunteering for OFA.
On days that I am not teaching, I work at the campaign office from noon until it closes. On days that I do work at the school, I'll catch a bus to the office when I'm done and work all night. We are registering new voters and collecting data that can be used by the campaign to prepare for the election. If we find more supporters than our opponents, we will win next November.
People in Arizona are focused on what can be done to create jobs. The people I speak to support President Obama's recent effort to pass the American Jobs Act and are frustrated that Republicans have been trying to block all that the President is trying to do to help. Immigration is a major issue here, especially since local Republican officials passed extreme anti-immigration laws. They have gone too far, and the people of this state have had enough.
Even though the Affordable Care Act won't be fully implemented until 2014, parts of it have already been very positive. Allowing children to stay on their parents' insurance plan until they are 26 and eliminating discrimination for kids with pre-existing conditions has helped so many people around the state.
President Obama can't do this alone. The best thing you can do to help him is to volunteer for this campaign. My advice to anyone thinking of volunteering is to start slow, work on what you are comfortable with, and do whatever you have the time to do. You might think what you're working on is small, but it is a big help to the campaign.
Thank you so much,
Arizona weather can get pretty warm—but it's the work @OFA_AZ is doing that's really heating things up. (See what we did there?) Check out the Arizona state blog for the latest updates.

You have got to be kidding?!?! ver. my BFF's wedding registry!
My BFF (for 15+ yrs) is getting married in December, I'll be celebrating my 10th anniversary in October. We are at different places in life, and I'm really noticing a gap between us lately. Her sister got married 9 years ago and my best friend couldn't believe how much she spent on her wedding, her dress, etc. Well I really think this has a lot to do with my friends fiance, but they are spending the big bucks, her reception venue alone has a $10k minimum. I remember her going on and on about how ridiculous her sisters registry was so I thought my BFF would be the same down to earth girl I've grown up with, but she just sent me a link to her Macy's registry and I am having sticker stock. (I'll preface saying I got married at the court house and didn't get a traditional wedding- I sort of regret it now, but back on topic)...
The registry- the china is all Noritake Platinum wave pattern
Covered veg. bowl- $179.99
Gravy boat- $84.99
Oval Platter $119.99
1 Place setting- $89.99 (Wants 12)
Salt and Pepper shaker- $49.99
anyways it goes on and on, but really $85 for a gravy boat?!?!? The silverware set is $44.99 for 1 setting, good grief!
Guess I am just in shock!
well.. she is your bff right? then you should tell her how you feel and let her know you will get her something that might not be on her registry
no way would i pay those prices. go to hallmark and get her a picture frame.
I predict she'll be getting a lot of salt and pepper shakers.
Wow that is crazy! I think we did our registry at Walmart and Target...lol. I am sure she probably won't get all those items. Macys is very expensive.

Nathan Tinkler sale: Group One winner Nechita fetches $1.55m at Patinack Farm auction
The racing and breeding empire of embattled businessman Nathan Tinkler is close to being dispersed following the sale of several of his top horses on Wednesday.
Group One winner Nechita was among 16 racehorses, along with a host of weanlings and broodmares, put up for auction at the Magic Millions complex on the Gold Coast as part of a Patinack Farm reduction sale.
A daughter of boom sire Fastnet Rock, Nechita attracted spirited bidding before she was eventually knocked down to breeding and racing giant Coolmore Stud for $1.55 million.
While she was sold as a racing proposition, Coolmore spokesman Tom Magnier told Magic Millions that Nechita would be retired.
It is believed Nechita might be served by Coolmore's new first season sire, the former champion three-year-old, Pierro.
Another Group One winner for Patinack Farm, Pear Tart, sold for $675,000 and was expected to head to Ireland.
The Group One-placed Longport was secured for $800,000 and will continue her career under trainer Danny Bougoure.
Bloodstock agent James Harron, representing trainer Gai Waterhouse, paid $700,000 for the lightly raced Sookie, who won a Group Three race at Doomben last Saturday.
Other black-type winners to go under the hammer were Pane In The Glass ($500,000) and Real Stolle ($325,000).
Patinack's well-bred broodmare Endless, by champion sire Sadler's Wells, was knocked down for $1.05 million.
The reduction sale heralds the demise of Tinkler's Patinack Farm operation, with the remainder of his horses expected to be sold next month.
Tinkler took a serious interest in the racing industry six years ago and spent millions of dollars on yearlings to build a thoroughbred empire.
But his finances have taken a major hit as the result of falling coal prices, the commodity which made him Australia's youngest billionaire.
Tinkler will have a final chance for racetrack success under the Patinack Farm banner this weekend with runners in Brisbane and Sydney.
Ferment and Reflectance head the Brisbane team in the Group Two Queensland Guineas at Eagle Farm on Saturday, while Maules Creek and Honourable Aussie are among the Patinack squad for Rosehill.
Patinack Farm trainer John Thompson plans to branch out on his own once Tinkler's team is sold.
Harvey laments loss to the racing industry
The director of Magic Millions, Gerry Harvey, says he is disappointed Tinkler is clearing out his racing and breeding operation.
"He's put a huge amount of money in, and I don't know how much he's going to end up losing - $100 million, $200 million or some huge amount of money," Harvey said.
"But that amount of money went into this industry and the whole industry has been a beneficiary of that money."
Magic Millions managing director Vin Cox says Tinkler is not entirely exiting the racing industry and is retaining more than 200 broodmares as well as their foals.
"Mr Tinkler's taken the view that he wants to get out of racing, he does enjoy the breeding side of things and sales, so selling yearlings next year, if someone came along and offered him good money for the outfit I'm sure he'd look at it," he said.

Senator Marco Rubio has a long history of blocking immigration enforcement. It's a shame we didn't know about this before. Better late than never, I suppose.
Sen. Marco Rubio blocked numerous immigration-enforcement bills when he served as speaker in the Florida House of Representatives from 2007 to 2009. …
Rubio's record is relevant now because he's presented himself as a moderate backer for the Democratic-led "Gang of Eight" immigration bill. Proponents of the bill argue that its extensive loosening of immigration laws (including a "pathway to citizenship" that Rubio in 2010 described as "basically code for amnesty") will be balanced by tougher enforcement.
But the record shows that Rubio used his power in Florida to block popular immigration-enforcement bills prior to his election-trail conversion into an immigration-hawk.
In the 2010 race, he criticized one of his opponents, Gov. Charlie Crist, for backing the amnesty proposal developed by Sen. John McCain and Ted Kennedy in 2006 and 2007.
"He would have voted for the McCain plan," Rubio said. "I think that plan is wrong, and the reason I think it's wrong is that if you grant amnesty … you will destroy any chance we will ever have of having a legal immigration system that works here in America,' he said.
In 2007 and 2008, Rubio repeatedly kept tough reform bills from getting passed, despite a wave of public support for reforms. (Read More)
So he lied to voters to get elected in 2010, and he's lying now when he's out there selling his rotten immigration bill. He's a fraud.

That coat is dissolving my brain.
Or perhaps what's making me loopy is the fact that I've been writing an article for the peerless SN&R , who gave me my very first actual news article, and none of this bull where I go "this is awesome" for 3 sentences and say bullocks to grammar, an actual 800 word report on winter fashion and local designers… then yesterday I had carte blanche on the styling and art direction of an entire full color photoshoot with hair and makeup of my imagining, featuring said designers of my choosing, and four gorgeous models of my dressing – mixing and matching pieces from three AMAZING collections…
Yes, this coat is face-meltingly cute, but I think after yesterday nothing will ever thrill me quite the same way again.
I get published on Christmas day. Pretty sweet to have this dream ticked off the list....
