A town filled with memories
January 23, 2002

The sun-bleached boards that make up the old general store stand sentinel along Farm Road 629 in southern Refugio County.
They don't creak, sway or demand much attention from passersby. In fact, it's mostly silent here, except for the occasional gust of wind or a car or truck swishing past.
The old boards seem to have no comment about the 21st century, and they stand in quiet defiance of the passing time, even after almost a century.
But in another era, the old store, with its herringbone-design doors, tin roof and Old West façade, was a busy place. In fact, it was a focal point for folks from miles around, particularly farmers.
It was built in 1908 as the community of Bonnie View sprang to life, also raising up a cotton gin and a pretty brick schoolhouse. "The land in this part was opened up by Burton and Danforth, promoters who'd arrived with the railroad," said Glenn Harsdorff, justice of the peace, whose Precinct 2 in Refugio County includes Bonnie View.
"They'd purchased land from rancher Col. John Wood. They broke it up into (farm) tracts, and a lot of Germans moved in."
Harsdorff owns about 25 acres in Bonnie View. "It was mostly plains and prairie," he said. The mesquite trees there today began when the railroad brought in cattle, which spread seeds through droppings.
Bonnie View is not without its colorful history. One tale in particular survives generation after generation.
It seems that way back when a Mr. Joe Michna owned the general store (his brother J.F. owned the cotton gin and auto repair garage), a Ms. Emma Michna often worked behind the counter. Now, Emma was known as a stern, no-nonsense type of woman. She was also a teacher, and the mother-in-law of the sheriff at that time, Ruben Michael "BuBu" Harsdorff. Anyway, the story goes that a migrant worker walked into the store one day. "Seems like it happened during the ginning season," said Harsdorff, who is 78. Everybody was at the store having lunch at the time. "Lady, I want your money," they quoted the migrant worker as saying.
Well Emma had no patience with such interlopers, and her reply was, "Don't you take another step toward me or I'll shoot you!"
The migrant worker must have thought Emma was all talk, because he did take another step. So Emma shot him.
The migrant worker toppled to the floor of the store, and although he wasn't mortally wounded, Emma complained that he was messing up her floor. "I've never seen so much blood in all my life," she said.
The lunch crowd at the Bonnie View general store never forgot that day's noon excitement.
The gin at Bonnie View, which once stood near the store, is long gone. O.D. Bell, 80, said the gin was sold at an auction conducted on the Refugio County Courthouse steps to pay a debt to a Victoria bank in 1973.
"It was taken down and moved to Louisiana. Somebody bought it at the bankruptcy auction," Bell said. He remembers that Randy Farenthold of Corpus Christi had bid on the gin. Farenthold later was found killed. Somebody had set his feet in concrete and thrown him in a bay.
"They thought it was some kind of Mafia thing. (Farenthold's) family had big holdings in Nueces County - lots and lots of farmland. I'd guess he planned on taking that gin down there," Bell said.
When the gin was moved, Bell bought the land it had sat on. He's lived and farmed in Bonnie View for 50 years now. And he used to own the old store, but he sold that a year ago to Doug and Terry Meissner of Bonnie View.
Like the gin, the old brick schoolhouse down the road a bit is gone, the victim of Hurricane Carla in September 1961. "I remember a beautiful school there. It was red brick and it had a basement in it. When we (in Woodsboro) had a play that's where we'd go. Bonnie View had a great stage," Harsdorff said.
When former Refugio County Commissioner Ron Hicks moved to the area in 1961, he got to see the old school in its glory. Hicks, 68, had his commissioner's office from 1991 to 1998 in the county's Precinct 2 barn, located in Bonnie View.
"The old school was a two- or three-story brick school - nice gymnasium there, too. Hurricane Carla damaged it so bad that it was torn down," Hicks said.
Harsdorff remembers the superintendent there, too. "His name was Albert Frickie. His brother owned a store in Woodsboro. I remember him wearing gloves all the time. He seemed to be a disciplinarian. I don't think he's remembered fondly, but he is remembered."
Hicks said there used to be a large, one-story house by the school that was used for teachers' lodging. Refugio County bought the house and moved it off to the Palm Lakes area nearby on Farm Road 1360.
Hicks said an old waste station was located at Bonnie View, too. "The flies were terrible and the smell was terrible." Hicks helped to get the station moved away to a secluded area "where nobody lives."
But the newest structure in Bonnie View is the park pavilion Hicks got built in May 1994, when he was a commissioner.
"When the school was there, an area that is now a park is the area where students tied their horses," Hicks said. "There was nothing there but a little shed 8 by 8 feet and a brick barbecue all broken down."
Little by little, Hicks began building a pavilion. Then, with the help of Rindle Wilson, he got a $5,000 grant to finish the structure.
"Family reunions have been held in the park. And when it was finished, I had a lot of people who were real pleased with the pavilion."
The pavilion's foundation is signed by all the county workers who helped construct it, and the park was officially named the Hugo Geistman Park, after a former commissioner who, combined with his wife Clara's tenure, held the commissioner's post for 40 years.
Today, Bonnie View has an estimated population of 25. The population has remained low because of the larger farm tracts available, but now smaller tracts have become available and families are once again moving to the area.
And the old store remains one of the last structures from the old days. New owners Doug and Terry Meissner said they plan to restore and re-open it some day.
It's locked up tight now, mostly sitting in silence, holding on to the secrets and stories of the past.
"It's closed," Harsdorff said, "but if it could tell stories ..."

When I was little, I lived in Zwickau, Germany. My grandmother had a friend with white, flowing hair. Her name was Sister Ewig, and she invited my grandmother to church. When our family went there, we saw many children. All of us were very impressed by the music, especially the singing. One song, "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam," really impressed me. 1 I felt very close to Jesus when I sang it. I knew that He wanted me to be a sunbeam for Him. I still love that song—and the testimony that it gave me of the Savior.
My whole family—except me, because I was only six years old—were baptized members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When I was eight, I was baptized in a public swimming pool by my father.
When I was 11, my family had to leave East Germany. We moved to Frankfurt, West Germany. I attended the Frankfurt Branch, which was not as big as the one in Zwickau. The Frankfurt meetinghouse was small, and we had classes in the basement. The missionaries taught us important gospel principles.
One missionary, Elder Stringham, impressed me very much with his lessons on the Pearl of Great Price, especially where Moses is being taught that he is a son of God (see Moses 1:3–4). Elder Stringham also taught me the scripture that says, "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31). This gave me comfort and courage, because at that time the future looked bleak in Germany. The city of Frankfurt was in ruins with bombed-out buildings. That teaching has stayed with me throughout my life. It taught me that I need to be on the Lord's side. I cannot afford not to be on the Lord's side.
I challenge you children to follow the words of the prophets. When you do, you will find the answers to your questions, whether you are 6, 9, 11, 19, or, like me, 69 years old!
Be a Sunbeam for Jesus(click to view larger)
When President Uchtdorf first went to church, he heard the song "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam." You can be a sunbeam in your family by doing kind deeds and leaving cheery thank-you notes:
Trace the sun shape onto a piece of thin paper, and cut it out.
Write the name of a family member on one side of the sun, and then color it in your favorite sunny colors.
On the other side, write a note thanking a family member for something he or she does for you.
Do a secret kind deed for that person, such as making a bed or folding clothes, and leave a sunshine note.
Special Missionaries
Like President Uchtdorf, you are a member of the Church today because someone special taught someone in your family about the gospel. Ask your mother or father to tell you who was the first member of the Church in your family, and see if you can find out who taught the earliest members of the Church in your family. Fill in as many of the answers below as you can:
The first member of the Church in my family:
When he or she joined the Church:
Where he or she joined the Church:
How he or she found out about the Church and gained a testimony:
Who taught him or her about the gospel:

Discover How to Improve Your Page Rank and Site Traffic
With many dubbing Google as the "King of the Internet", any changes they make to the way they rank a website catches everyone's attention, including mine!
There are many ways to improve your page rank and traffic on your site, but in this post, I will concentrate on one major tip: decrease your site load time! If you're wondering why, read on!
I guess I should start by defining what a Page Rank is… I know that when I first started blogging, I had no idea what this even meant, or how important it could be! Basically, "PageRank" is one of the methods Google uses to determine a page's relevance or importance – basically, its popularity on the web. It's a measurement that ranges from a rank of zero (you don't have enough inbound links or you're too new to have a rank at all) to a rank of ten (which means you're one of the top sites on the internet). As a website owner, your goal should always be to climb the "PageRank" ladder!
Here are a few example values to help you understand this a little better: www.yahoo.com has a PageRank of 9, www.google.com has a PageRank of 10, www.microsoft.com has a PageRank of 9 and www.redcross.org has a PageRank of 8.
With that being said, it's much easier said than done, right? Or maybe too much effort for you to bother? You may want to think twice about this one… I know I am!
Website/Page load time can now affect Google's perception of your site when it comes to page rank, because Google now uses site speed in their search ranking algorithms. (Read this Google article for more information.)
Another reason for you to worry about how long your site takes to load is the fact that you could be losing traffic! Googld has added this new "page load speed" factor because people are generally not willing to sit and wait very long for a site to load, and I'm guilty of that myself… if I'm running a search on a topic, and the site I'm trying to access takes more than 5 seconds or so to load, I give up and go on to the next search result. We're entering a phase of impatience when it comes to browsing the web, and for those of us trying to run an online business, this could potentially be a crippling factor!
Okay, so what can I do to improve my site load speed?
There are many tools available online that can help you determine just how fast your site loads, and one that I found recently is tools.pingdom.com. It really opened my eyes as to how slow my site has been loading, and the main culprit is the WordPress theme I've chosen to use for my site! This just goes to show you how important it is to choose your theme carefully – you should definitely factor in usability, design, and load time when picking your theme. At this point, I have to re-evaluate my own site, and probably do some research to find a theme that better suits me and the factors I mentioned, but still providing the look and feel that I'm going for. This also translates to quite a bit of work, so admittedly, I'll probably procrastinate a bit, but it's definitely one of my priorities for my own site.
If you're facing a similar issue with your WordPress site, something that could help you is a caching plugin. There are many available (such as the highly recommended WP Super Cache, but the only one that's worked successfully for me to date is the W3 Total Cache plugin. After installing and activating this plugin, my load speed went down considerably, though not as much as I would like, which is why I still have to consider changing my theme altogether, but you may not be in that boat yourself after trying out this plugin! I highly recommend it (you can download and install it from here).
To keep track, be sure to use Google's Webmaster Tools. They've added a new feature under the 'Labs' menu called "Site performance" that will give you more information on the average time your website's pages take to load as compared to most sites on the internet. Here's a screenshot of my results:
One of the nice things about this tool is that it also provides some suggestions as to what could be done to speed up and optimize your pages. Google also has a page speed tool that you can install if you use Firebug that will provide full details and recommendations.
Well, I know I have a bit of work ahead of me now that I know my theme is definitely not the optimal theme to be using… have I given you something to think about? What kinds of changes might you make to your site to optimize it and improve user experience? Do you have other tips you may want to mention? I'd love to hear from you – feel free to leave a comment below!

Post subject: LAWSUIT LAUNCHED IN NEW ORLEANS PET MASSACRE!
Pasado Update - LAWSUIT LAUNCHED IN NEW ORLEANS PET MASSACRE!
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, while Pasado's was in New Orleans rescuing 1200 animals, Mark got a call about three schools, in St. Bernard Parish, where hurricane evacuees had temporarily lived. They were forced to leave all of their pets behind - dogs tied up on leashes, cats in carriers.
The call Mark received reported all the animals - 33 dogs and cats, had been shot to death. Mark called the Louisiana State Attorney General's Office. Investigators joined Mark at the schools. Mark went to the local Wal-Mart and bought 33 Rubbermaid tubs, in which to scoop up the remains of the bodies for forensic investigation. He returned to the schools, and under the watchful eyes of the AG's Office Investigators, recovered all the bodies, shell casings and other evidence. He had found that the dogs had been shot in the body cavity, neck, joints, and legs.
Mark drove all of the remains to the State of Louisiana's Veterinary Teaching Hospital for necropsies. Pasado's Safe Haven paid for $7700.00 for necropsies to prove the animals suffered. Pasado's got the Louisiana State Attorney General to launch an investigation but so far, nothing has come of it. So far.
As we've patiently waited for the wheels of justice to turn in a criminal case, Pasado's has been delighted to work with a passionate attorney in New Orleans to see this case through as a civil matter on behalf of the people whose pets were killed. Today's Los Angeles Times article describes the civil suit that we're supporting with time, investigation, interviews with witnesses, the necropsy reports and one of our staff members (a paralegal) and all filing fees to bring this case to court. Eileen Comiskey, the brilliant New Orleans attorney, is leading the efforts on behalf of plaintiffs.
LosAngeles Times Story:
Pasado's Safe Haven is attempting to fund this case and we are a small non-profit. The attorney is donating hundreds of her hours.
We need filing fees, fees for depositions, airmiles, and pre-paid long-distance phone cards. Can you help? Please donate here:
And please cross-post to friends who can help. We need those who committed this horrible act to pay.

After attending a Ramp-Up to Readiness™ workshop in Minneapolis early this month, Royalton Middle/High School Principal Joel Swenson is convinced of the need for the program in Royalton.
"Very few workshops have ever left me thinking, 'This is exactly what we need,'" he said. "Ramp-Up to Readiness is one of those items. Everything that we discussed at the workshop has a practical and relevant focus that we need at RHS/MS."
Ramp-Up to Readiness™ is a school-wide guidance program designed to increase the number and diversity of students who graduate from high school with the knowledge, skills, and habits necessary for success in a high-quality college program.
Participation in Ramp-Up to Readiness™ will help students in grades 6-12 progress toward readiness in five areas: academic, admissions, career, financial, and personal and social readiness, according to the program's website.
Schools are recruited and selected on a yearly basis based on an application process.
Royalton was selected for implementation during the 2013-2014 school year, along with Staples Motley High School and 13 other schools from around Minnesota. Up to 26 more schools may still be selected for participation.
Pillager was selected for implementation during the 2014-2015 school year.
The program was developed by the University of Minnesota's College Readiness Consortium.
"I am very excited to get started," Swenson said. "I think this is a critical component for having our students ready for post-secondary."

I CANNOT wait for the season to get underway at Accrington Stanley tomorrow.
I love it when there's that all or nothing pressure on a game and, in stark contrast, I cannot stand that friendly feel you get at the pre-season matches.
Other than getting fit and prepared, there's not really anything at stake in those friendlies.
But they are out of the way now and we're looking to get the points we need to achieve promotion.
That what we want to achieve and it's another big season for me as well.
Last year went well but I'm certainly not going to be resting on my laurels.
I'm certainly not going to be taking it for granted that I'm going to be picked or that I'm going to play well.
I know I will need to work as hard as I can to make them both happen and that's exactly what I'll be aiming to achieve.
That starts on Saturday and I'm very happy to still be with Southend too.
I know there was some speculation that I might be leaving and those rumours are flattering because it means you must be doing something right.
But when I left the training ground at the end of last season I fully expected to be coming back in July still being a Southend United player.
I'm very happy here, I wear the badge with real pride as it's my home-town club and I'm just focusing on making sure I keep playing well.
Pre-season will help with that and it's been a tough few weeks in training.
Our goalkeeping coach, Terry Mason, believes that goalkeepers need to be all round athletes so we've been joining in with the difficult running drills.
I can understand the benefits but most of us play in goal because we don't want to run!
All jokes aside, I do feel fit and strong and with the weights sessions we've been doing as well I definitely feel ready for the challenges ahead and I'm looking forward to a successful season.
WHEN new signings come in to our club they have to stand up and sing in front of the rest of the squad.
Myles Weston and Ellis Brown did theirs out in Spain when we trained over there but I would imagine the lads who joined this week will be singing at our meal this evening.
I still remember having to do my song and I would say I was more nervous about doing that then actually making my debut.
I was 16 at the time and I was so scared.
I sung Beatiful by Akon which was one of my favourite songs at the time but looking back now maybe I should've chosen something else that might have been a bit easier to sing!
THERE have been plenty of pranks at the training ground during pre-season and one of the best was Adam Thompson having a pair of his shoes tied on to the door of the heaters.
The lads weren't too impressed by them and all thought they were fake Dolce and Gabbana.
But they were tied up so tight, Thommo had to get a pair of scissors to cut them free and he hasn't worn them since!

NORTHWICH Victoria's former administrator says the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League was right to punish the club for breaking finance rules.
Gary Pettit, an insolvency practitioner hired by Vics owner Jim Rushe in 2009 after the firm that then paid the players' wages – Northwich Victoria Football Club (2004) Ltd – had entered administration, denies he is to blame for the team's relegation to play at a lower level.
In a statement issued exclusively to the Guardian, he argues that Mr Rushe is wrong to accuse him of not making regular monthly payments to companies to which the club owes money.
It reads:
"RECENT comments surrounding culpability for the further demise of Northwich Victoria Football Club are woefully inaccurate.
It must be repeated that the terms and obligations under the Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) that was approved by both creditors and the club [in December 2009] are clear and unequivocal.
For the sake of clarity, a CVA is best described as a contract between a company (the club in this case) and its creditors that provides for a better return to the latter than alternative insolvency routes.
The CVA was entered into as a means of exiting from administration and an enormous amount of effort was made to ensure the club could survive.
In the club's case the accord provided for monthly payments, together with some other financial commitments, to be paid into the CVA for the benefit of its creditors.
This is in addition to the FA Cup monies that were recovered, which is entirely separate to the monthly payment commitment.
In summary, the CVA provided for receipt of the FA Cup monies, a bond in case of subsequent PAYE arrears and a total of 61 payments (£10,000 on approval plus £2,500 per month thereafter) to be paid into the CVA.
Only the FA Cup money has been received, and its dispersal has been towards administration and trading costs that have been approved by creditors.
Given that neither the bond, nor the monthly payments, have been paid the club is in almost total breach of the CVA terms.
Although lengthy discussions have taken place, it is with deep regret that the club refuses to accept its obligations have not been honoured under the CVA terms.
Had the club accepted its clear and unequivocal breaches to the CVA and agreed to remedy them in an appropriate manner then it is possible the outcome of the recent FA appeal may have been different.
Clearly, we will now never know.
Taking the undisputable facts into consideration, the joint supervisors of the CVA have their hands well and truly tied and must therefore follow their duty in that respect."

TomTom releases four updates each year to cope with the estimated 15% changes each year (although in NZ that may be lower).
In case you have ever wondered where TomTom came from in Dr Who Season 7 episode 11 'The Crimson Horror' Strax drives Vastra up to Sweetville but gets a little lost. Luckily, he finds street urchin and human GPS called Thomas Thomas. This is either the silliest joke in the whole episode or a commentary on how child labour has been supplanted by modern technology. Possibly both.
In reality it was founded in 1992 by Peter-Frans Pauwels, Pieter Geelen, Harold Goddijn and Corinne Vigreux are all currently still working within TomTom.
According to Wikipedia a TomTom is a dully repetitious drum beat or similar sound – that describes 'Claire – English Voice' beautifully. It also means 'time of month'.
The most sensible explanation I can find is that it is short for 'To market, To market'.

Kenworth of South Florida – Riviera Beach has opened a new parts and service location with eight service bays and an expanded parts department.
"We chose this new location for our Riviera Beach dealership because of its proximity and visibility to the I-95 corridor," says Todd Hays, dealer principal of Kenworth of South Florida, which also operates locations in Fort Lauderdale and Fort Pierce. "The eight service bays and large parts department provide support for local construction companies and contractors, waste and recycling haulers, asphalt and concrete haulers, towing companies and those trucks serving the Port of Palm Beach. This new location will provide us room to expand as the business grows."
The facility offers nearly 2,000 square-feet of parts display and storage stocked with quality Kenworth proprietary and TRP all-makes parts. The location also offers parts delivery.
Kenworth of South Florida – Riviera Beach is part of the Kenworth dealer network of more than 345 locations in the United States and Canada.

New statistics from the Centers for Disease Control show one out of every 68 children has autism, more children than ever before—a trend Dr. Jeanette Ramer has seen with her own eyes.
"That undoubtedly is true because I've been in practice quite a few years, and when I started in developmental practice, it was quoted as one in 10,000. It was uncommon to see a child with autism. Clearly over the years it's become more and more common," Ramer said.
Ramer also said part of the reason autism numbers are on the rise is because of increased awareness which can result in over-diagnosis.
The question remains, what causes the disorder? A new study sheds some light.
A report out this week in the New England Journal of Medicine says there is evidence that autism begins during pregnancy. The study was done by researchers at the University of California San Diego.
They studied the brains of children who had autism and found patches of abnormal cells deep inside. Researchers said that is something that can only happen during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy.
Ramer said the study proves what many have suspected.
"It really is a neurological disorder, not a behavioral disorder created by families by parenting. Therefore I think this is important in that sense that it does reinforce that idea that it's an inborn difference," said Ramer.
Researchers said they need to do some more digging to find out why those cells are irregular. Ramer believes it is a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
"There may be children who have several sets of genes that add risk and that they're exposed to something prenatally or something occurs prenatally that then turns on autism," Ramer said.
She gave an example of a scenario like that. Ramer said if a mother gets a virus during pregnancy and has a baby with a genetic predisposition to autism, the combination could create those abnormal brain cells.

I recently got one of these Barbecue Grill, Camping Beach Parks, Fire Pit, Campfire Cooking Grill and would like to use it for cooking. What tips can you give me for cooking over an open fire pit?
No announcement yet.
Open Fire Cooking

Re: Open Fire Cooking
Hi Jaclinto and welcome to the forum,
Boy have you got a lot to learn.
may I suggest that you plan a trip out to Australia and link up with an outback camping Tag-along-tour trip where you will really experience the delights of campfire cooking.
Nothing compares to the solitude of being hundreds of kilometers from anywhere, sitting around either a roaring or a glowing campfire enjoying fresh cooked damper (traditional Aussie bread), a lamb roast with all the trimmings and a few glasses of your favourite brew, sitting back watching the spectacular milk way with your beloved and friends/mates.
That encourages me to plan another trip soon!
What do you want to cook?
I will see if I can source some Outdoor Aussie cookbooks for you once I know your preferences.
You might do a google search for outback cooking cookbooks! Try "outback cooking cookbooks" for a starter!
The fire containers that you showed will limit your ability to cook a roast if you are just going to cook with the flames, rather than using substantial coals to heat your camp oven/bedourie/cooking kettle, a bit like a barbeque.
We tend to cook away from the actual fire by removing a shovel or two of red hot coals and cooking on them besides the campfire rather than in the fire itself. We have devices to cook in where hot coals are placed on top as well just like an oven and you can cook anything you like (camp oven/bedurie/cooking kettle). It is a real experience. I always carry a bedourie on every 4WD trip that I do. That said I have a roast meal with my fellow travellers at least twice a week - fantastic food in such remote locations. See:
I will keep an eye open with this posting.
NeillPrevention is better than cure, - do it right the first time!
The more I learn, the more I realise how little I know

After a three-week summer break GP3 Series is back on track this weekend for the penultimate round of its inaugural season at Spa-Franchorchamps in Belgium.
Spa, nestled in the Ardennes Forest, is widely known as the ultimate drivers' circuit with legendary corners such as Eau Rouge testing the drivers' skills to the max. One of the biggest challenges faced by both teams and drivers around the 7.004 high-speed track will be the ever changing weather conditions - so much so that it can be raining on one part of the circuit whilst completely dry on another.
This weekend could mark the historical crowning of the first ever GP3 Series champion. With a strong 30 point lead in the Series ART Grand Prix's Esteban Gutierrez just needs to finish Race 1 with a lead of at least 27 points ahead of his nearest rival, Status GP's Robert Wickens, and he will be the inaugural GP3 Series winner.
Jenzer Motorsport's Nico Muller is still mathematically in with a chance of the crown, but he would require two perfect points scoring weekends in Spa and Monza. Moreover, the Swiss driver would need Gutierrez to walk away with no more points for the remainder of the season.
For the complex demands of the Spa circuit Pirelli has opted for the medium compound tyre. While it is rare to have a Belgian Grand Prix weekend with no rain, warm temperatures in August are equally possible. Pirelli's Racing Manager Mario Isola explained: "As is often the case in motorsport, finding the right tyre for Spa was a question of identifying the best compromise. We are expecting rain at some point, so there is a good chance that we will use the wet tyres for at least one of the sessions. Equally, if it is warm, the soft compound tyre may not be ideal for high temperatures.
"The medium tyre is well-suited to the characteristics of Spa, which include high speeds and considerable loads on the tyres, although the surface is not especially aggressive. We're entering the closing stages of the championship now, with just four races remaining. Naturally, we can expect all the drivers and teams to be trying their hardest to improve their positions during this crucial period. Our aim is to give them a stable and competitive tyre to help them do this."
Simon Trummer makes a welcome return to racing this weekend after his accident at Hockenheimring in July. The Jenzer Motorsport driver has been working hard during the summer break on regaining his fitness, and was given the all clear to race after some final medical checks this week.

'People Will Die'
Santa Ana's Western Medical Center is one of only three trauma centers in Orange County, serving mostly working-class and poor residents, many of whom lack health insurance. And the hospital is falling apart. Paint is flaking off the walls and the wallpaper, which hasn't been changed in 15 years, is peeling away. Dirt and dust inhabits what is supposed to be a pathogen-free environment, and blood-stained carpets and sheets abound.
What's more—less, actually—medical equipment such as scalpels are in such short supply and so overused they sometimes break mid-operation. The lack of sanitation and supplies is so widespread the hospital failed a test survey last summer by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations, which accredits hospitals.
"The survey was a disaster," said Dr. Michael Fitzgibbons, Western Medical Center's supervisor of infectious diseases. "They found dirt and dust everywhere. I'm sick of it. It's an insult to patients to have blood on the sheets or on the ceiling."
Fitzgibbons, a soft-spoken, bespectacled Republican, is hardly an alarmist rabble-rouser. And he isn't the only physician who's frustrated. Over the past several months, many Western Medical Center doctors have begun applying to work at other Orange County hospitals.

"This whole for-profit model has been a disaster," Fitzgibbons said. "Basically, you have these hostile administrators that don't want to deal with quality-of-care issues."
Businesses typically invest 5 percent in capital improvements and research and development. Western Medical Center has a $150 million to $200 million revenue stream per year. Based on that, Fitzgibbons said, $1 million would be a good number to put into routine maintenance. "But they don't even do that. They haven't changed a carpet in 15 years. We're worried that they will just let the hospitals lose money and then close them to build condos. What will happen when these hospitals close? People will die."
Fitzgibbons is so mad about the sorry state of affairs at Western Medical Center that he agreed to share his concerns with the Weekly despite the fact the hospitals' owner, Costa Mesa-based Integrated HealthCare Holdings Inc. (IHHI), has sued him for libel and interfering with the company's business practices. Long before he went public, Fitzgibbons shared his outrage with IHHI officials—and they did nothing. Shortly after the survey took place, on June 5, 2005, he sent an e-mail to the company demanding they fix problems that had been ignored for years.
"As you are aware, the mock survey found a number of deficiencies," Fitzgibbons wrote. "We are at risk of receiving a conditional accreditation; this would be a critical black eye indeed. I have asked for years . . . that we improve housekeeping to improve the hospital's cleanliness . . . including painting, wallpapering, repair of holes in walls, replacement of carpets and broken beds."
By then, Fitzgibbons had already gotten into trouble for trying to raise money to help the rest of the medical staff become investors in the hospital, which had been losing cash ever since IHHI purchased it—and three other Orange County hospitals—from Tenet Corp.
On May 9, 2005, IHHI received a notice of default when it was unable to make scheduled payments on a $50 million loan. Ten days later, Fitzgibbons, who was then Western Medical Center's chief of staff, wrote an e-mail to other doctors describing the financial situation at the hospital as "ominous."
IHHI sued Fitzgibbons, charging him with defamation and interfering with the company's business. The hospital's medical staff rallied behind Fitzgibbons and urged IHHI to drop its suit. Meanwhile, the lawsuit spurred many Western Medical Center doctors to apply for medical privileges at other Orange County hospitals. Western Medical Center continued to lose cash, reporting a total of $20 million in losses during the past two quarters alone.
In December, IHHI finally offered to drop its lawsuit against Fitzgibbons—if he agreed to pay his own legal bills. But Fitzgibbons refused to back down. On Dec. 14, his lawyers sent a letter to IHHI saying he'd accept their offer only if the company would reimburse him and other doctors who contributed to his defense fund, extend his contract at the hospital, provide a written apology and "agree that it will not utilize civil litigation as a means of pursuing a complaint about the conduct of any Medical Staff member."
IHHI refused his offer.
"IHHI will not bow to the action of any individual who, in its judgment, interferes with and wrongfully obstructs its rights and abilities to conduct business activities," wrote IHHI attorney Deborah Tropp. "Your client continues to take the position that his complaints were based on quality of care issues. We suggest you re-read the e-mails authored by your client which prompted this lawsuit. There is no quality of care language contained in those e-mails whatsoever."
But Fitzgibbons says he sent the May 19 e-mail to potential investors whom he hoped could help save Western Medical Center from going bankrupt—an action he said can hardly be construed as an attempt to sabotage the hospital. The same goes for his June 5 e-mail alerting IHHI officials to the hospital's sanitary deterioration.
"IHHI was looking for a way to go after me because I speak up about quality-of-care issues," Fitzgibbons said. "This is a new paradigm in health care. Hospitals don't sue doctors. We're their customers. They knew that if they could shut me up, they could control the rest of the medical staff. But I'm not going to back down. I didn't do anything wrong. I want my day in court."

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
The most common worms seen in vomit or feces is the roundworm and tapeworm. Tapeworms are normally seen in feces and resemble grains of rice while roundworms resemble spaghetti. The most common worms found in dogs are: Roundworms, Hookworms, Tapeworms, and Whipworms and Heartworms
In some cases these worms are passed from dog to dog, in other cases such as tapeworms, they are contracted by other methods such as ingesting an infected flea. There can be eggs in the soil as well or in fecal matter. Most over the counter medicine will only kill one or two types of worms, so your best bet is to take a fecal sample to your vet to determine the type of worms your dog may have and then decide on treatment. Dogs should be checked for worms periodically even if they appear healthy. This is so if your pet does become ill, you are not fighting a worm infestation along with a more serious problem. At his age, you don't want Ali fighting parasites if at all possible.
For additional information about worms, see this site. It has pictures which might help identify which ones you are seeing.
Common dewormers are Panacur, which is a prescription product so you need to obtain it from your Vet and it works on roundworms and whipworms. Wormers labeled as Pyrantel Pamoate are the best over the counter medication for roundworms. Drontal plus is also a prescription product and is used for the treatment of Tapeworms, though dewormers with praziquantel work well against tapeworms. Many heartworm preventatives also help control whipworms and roundworms. Another reason to keep your dog on Heartworm medication.
I hope this information is helpful to you and you are satisfied with my response. If you would like any additional information or have more questions about the worms you have found please don't hesitate to press the reply to expert or continue conversation button so I can address any issues you still have .

[POTUS] Candor: The Iron Dictator we need
Pants Administration Application
We interupt this broadcast to announce that pop George has been chosen to be the Personal Press Secretary to The President effective immidiately. All requests for interviews will have to be scheduled through Mr. George.
Mr. George is a well respected member of society, a valued NoS Nation (and Dive Bar) citizen, and a true master of all things communication.
We (in the Royal meaning) have all confidence in his dedication to Party and pants.
Congratulations Mr. George.
Pants Administration Application
Hello. My name is Candor and I'm running for President of The United States.
I'm not a member of any Top 5 party, I'm a member of the wholly Independent NoS Nation (and Dive Bar).
I'm running in the General Election utilizing the mechanical laws of eRepublik.
If I win, I will have a diverse Cabinet representing all the major parties of the nation, as well as folks from the minor parties.
If I win I will do everything in my power to restore 10/10 bonuses ASAP.
If I win I will be beholden to no one nor any particular party.
Pants Administration Application
I will answer only to pants.
If I win, I will do everything in my power to actively recruit citizens from all the nations of the world, growing our MU's, growing our tax base, and regaining our Superpower status in the world.
To that end, I will promote the restoration of citizenship allocation to the mechanically endowed Congressmen who control such powers.
If I win, I will evaluate our continued association with CoT, with an eye towards respecting our stalwart and traditional allies. The people, you, will be expected to weigh in on this and all future alliances.
But our allies will know we stand with them, no more bull.
Again, the nation will be involved in my Administration.
All Party Presidents are invited to recommend folks from their parties for positions or representation with my Administration.
Pants Administration Application
I'm tired of the Unity Wars, it's time to move forward as a diverse nation, together.
Join me, and together we shall rule the world!
Or my pants.
But we'll do it together.
Dutifully Submitted,
Pants Administration Application
Do you play eRepublik for fun? Join us in world domination and dominos:
May the pants be with you, always.
Who are you planning to invade?
And AFA brings in as many people as they can every day. Doesn't seem like the increased citizenry has done much. I don't see why we should start making an effort to increase people even further than AFA already is.
We haven't increased, we've remained stagnant. We can't grow without 10/10 and increased citizenships.
And I've some Asiatic inclinations...
"And I've some Asiatic inclinations...". it seem we might not have a any choice. China has declared NE to brasil. It seems that asia wants to bite back.
Everyone's looking for a fight, and about time. I like the banter as much as anyone else, but I want to see this nation grow, and it's warriors more rapidly rise in strength. This stagnation is setting back an entire generation of our people and our team as a result.
Good luck Candor, and may the best drinker win!
Btw, as for diversity, in Serbian Dive Bar is called "birtija" (amongst other things we have about a million names for those joints).
1. Who are you?
2. What have you done? Earlier experience? Titles? Anything? etc.
3. Which party you represent? Why you are not member of any top-5 party? Do you have any support of our top-5 party?
and final and most important:
What countries you think, are or should be our allies? Our current MPP list contains friends, enemies and something beetween them...
Soil3d: I am Candor, and I am NoS. I'm not in a T5 because the T5's spend most of their time fighting amongst themselves for power.
I expect that I have a lot of support in the T5 parties, as well as the 6th-30th parties too. But an election will determine that.
I don't like titles, and if I had any, I would sell them immediately for all they were worth.
Finland. I think it should be wiped from the map as soon as possible. Or Honduras, either one.
But whomever we wipe, we will do it with 10/10 bonuses and good, stiff, pants.
I'm getting that al ot lately. And this means you understand the needs of pants, their need to rest. You Sir are one leg of short of a full pair of pants, and that is to be respected. Touche.
I'll take two glasses please, one filled with three fingers of scotch and one filled with three fingers of milk duds!
3 fingers of milk duds really isn't that much. 3 fistfulls is more like it. This is the party of fisting!
"Invader's blood marches through my veins,
like giant RADIOACTIVE RUBBER PANTS!
The pants command me. Do not ignore my veins!"
~ Invader ZIM, 2001
Candor, you stand on the shoulders of 'giants'. ^_~
I wholeheartedly approve of pop George for this lofty position and look forward to his future success.
I will only support you if you promise to post every scrap of govt info publicly. I want our enemies... err, I mean our citizens to know exactly what we are doing before we do it. NO MORE SECRECY! Also before ANY decision is made by the govt it must be brought to a referendum before the people publicly and then a public vote. I want pure Democracy for the US. I want mob rule!
Banish the sheep!
Down with res publica!
Hail the mob!
The majority rules!
I can't wait to see your program and goals. hope you will do good elaborate cuz i believe in you. GL bro o/
I support you, you have earned my trust.
Good luck and best wishes,
So if I elect you would I have to take off my pants or get new pants? What does your platform say about this?
Respect the pants. Sometimes that means removing the pants and letting them rest.
But in all things, we owe the pants our honor and dignity. We show respect for the pants.
Cyber WitchDay 1,896, 05:12 Joseph goes commandoooooooooooooooo. Do you like milk duds?
JD is leaning towards having walnuts......not so sure about the milk duds reference.
heck he only gave me this chance so my trolling would be that much more entertaining, and when I say trolling, I mean trolling him...
For too long the pants have been oppressed by the earthly limitations of the human leg and buttocks.
I demand Candor launch a Pants-Space Program, launching all pants INTO SPACE !
Can Candor promise to start forming PSP for the betterment of the nation if elected ?
"Can Candor promise to start forming PSP for the betterment of the nation if elected ?"
Via my use of PCP and ESP I can promise the nation great pants. And through the respect of pants, we shall have PSP, TLC, and ABC!
Kemal, you disrespect the pants who bring you honor and dignity. For your shame, you shall forever go without pants. And this shall teach you, without a doubt, to respect the pants.
just start some WAR please
as I can see at the moment, eUSA act as little school girl
where is that big state with who eSerbia had epic fight in Liaoning
this is embarrassing
would you fund a national institute to invent rocket-powered jet pants to issue to every citizen?
No skirts or robes like those silly disrespectful Romans. Meggings and Capris are daring but acceptable.
Candor, once again I think you will make a great president someday. However as long as we are under threat from the AFA, that day can not come. Your closeness and association with our enemy mean that you are not a good choice at this time. We need a president who has it in them to continue the fight against the AFA, not a president who thinks the eUSA should bend over, grab it's ankles and accept the AFA. They are not part of our country. They have not assimilated and become part of us. They are the enemy. I hope the eUSA as a whole can see this and not make the mistake of electing you at this time. Hopefully there will be a day when the AFA is gone that we can safely cast a vote for Candor, this is not that day though.

Winter training isn't fun or easy. Everyone needs to run in the snow at least once a year, after that the fun and excitement diminish in favor of worry about falling and concern for missed workouts. But the winter is also a great time for a running rebirth, a chance to leave the hectic race schedule behind for some quality training that can really help separate you from the competition when the season heats up again in the spring. Here are three distinct things to work on that can help you breakthrough this winter.
Find the Hills
The best part about adding hills to your running routine is that you don't need to run them fast to receive their full benefits. Snow and similar winter terrain challenges make even the average hill into something to that will truly challenge your limits and build your fitness.
To be clear, I am not talking about hill repeats or similar speed-related efforts here. Your goal in the winter should be to run outside as much as you can. Of those runs, your two key outdoor runs should involve hills in some shape or form. You can break them down as:
Hilly Long Run: Easy/steady pace out as a warm-up, then over to the hills where (now that you are warmed up) you can pick up the pace to moderately hard. Push the hills and roll down the descents as recovery. Use the uphill section to work on your form and drive; use the downhills to work on your cadence and remaining smooth. Be sure to include some recovery time, as the hills will put additional stress on your body that will require some additional care.
Hilly Tempo Run: A much shorter version than the longer run, and definitely less challenging to plan. You are looking for a moderate hill here that takes anywhere from one and a half to three minutes to climb. After a warm up, you'll do loops of this hill with some additional running on flatter terrain as the actual work portion. The hill is run at a steady effort; the "work" you do is on the flats. So a single repeat would look like this:
- Two-minute hill climb
- One to two-minute recovery descent
- Four to six minutes of tempo running (approximately 10K pace)
Get Some Core Strength
Running technique and overall durability are constantly hot topics in the running world. Everyone wants to run to the best of their ability, and no one wants to get injured (again). But both of these are outcomes, end states achieved through work in the form of developing core strength.
Core strength exercises, particularly ones done in a functional manner (i.e. not with the ab blaster 9000) not only improve your posture and positioning when running, then actually help you activate and establish a strong connection with the rest of your body. You can tell someone to roll their hips forward all day, but you might as well be speaking a foreign language if they can't actually activate the right muscles.

A carpal tunnel injection is a corticosteroid injection into the carpel tunnel area of the wrist.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The median nerve runs from the forearm into the hand. Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when this nerve is squeezed at the wrist as it runs through the carpel tunnel. This results in pain, weakness, tingling, or numbness in your hand and wrist. Pain may also radiate up your arm.
Steroid injections into the carpel tunnel area can help improve symptoms for 3 months or longer. You may not need further treatment.
Complications are rare, but no procedure is risk-free. Your doctor will review a list of possible complications which may include:
Your doctor may ask you what medications you take and if you have any allergies to medications.
You will be given an injection of local anesthetic to numb the area.
A needle will be filled with corticosteroid medication. This medication calms inflammation. Your palm will be facing upward. The inside of your wrist will be cleaned. The needle will be inserted into the carpal tunnel area of the wrist, and the medication will be injected.
A few minutes
You may feel some pain after the anesthetic wears off.
The injection site will be bandaged. You and your doctor will discuss what to expect in the coming days.
When you return home:
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occur:

Tesco in Brundall: Why are so many pubs becoming supermarkets?
Campaigners today accused Tesco of targeting pubs for Express stores, amid opposition to the supermarket's plans to move into Brundall.
The chain hopes to open a store in the Ram pub on The Street, and through the pub's owners, Enterpise Inns, has asked Broadland District Council about reviving a planning application, granted in 1993, for an extension on the building.
A poll on the Evening News' website showed 69pc of people were against Tesco coming to the Broads village, with 29pc in favour.
Graham Freeman, chairman of the Norwich and Norfolk branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra), said: "The Ram is a viable pub with real ale, but this is something we are seeing all around the country."
Over 200 pubs in Britain have been converted into supermarkets since January 2010, including The Firs in Hellesdon, according to figures from Camra.
The pubs are attractive to supermarkets because they often come with car parking and need little if any planning permission to convert into a shop.
But a Tesco spokesman denied they had a policy of targeting pubs.
He said: "When we do convert pubs into Express stores we bring back to life a building that would otherwise remain derelict."
Enterprise Inns said: "Our preference is that our sites trade as pubs. However from time to time we identify a pub which is unable to deliver an appropriate level of sustainable income. We then carefully review what alternative solutions are available for that site."
Readers have been leaving their comments on our website.
Darren Mallett said: "The traffic is bad enough around the church.
"Can you imagine what it will be like with a Tesco Express and constant traffic, delivery vehicles from early morning to late at night?"
But Rushee said: "Go for it Tesco as Budgens has had the cream in Brundall for years, now it might have to share it with Tesco."
Peter Waller said: "Why this hatred of Tesco? We have the same 'anti' faction at Pakefield in Lowestoft, pointless."

Actress Sienna Miller covers the March issue of Esquire UK and open up about her famous ex, actor Jude Law, and happy family life with fiancé Tom Sturridge and their daughter Marlowe, 18 months.
On motherhood: "I feel really settled. I have a wonderful life. I'm up every morning with a little baby. That gives you incredible perspective. It's such a gift. And it's grounding in a way you can't describe."
On her fiancé: "He's the antithesis of me, really. And that's a first for me, to be in a relationship with someone who's in a lot of respects very different. He's the perfect balance to my lunacy, which makes him sound really boring, but he's not, at all. It's good, it works. It's not easy, of course, but we're a family and I love that. I wake up and I'm like, 'I'm a family, I'm a grown up!' I still can't believe it."
On her negative public image affecting her career: "It had become difficult for me to get the work I wanted, if I'm really honest. It was a weird situation to be in because there was a lot of goodwill for me in Hollywood. I think I'd been lucky in that I'd always been naughty in that town and people had always liked me for it. And it was refreshing and it was who I was. I was English. I was, 'Let's be who we are! I'm not going to have my hair done every morning and yes: I smell of fags!' And so I would walk into studio heads' offices and we'd crack up laughing."
On her reconciliation with Jude Law in 2011: "When something ends in a way like that, it's important if you can, in a way, go back and revisit it and either shut that door or create a new room. So it was a very healthy, cathartic experience. And I think it paved the way for both of us to have great futures with no animosity or drama. Such a huge relief, to heal that. And I'm great friends with him and with his children. I love them, madly. Just huge love and respect for all of them."

In response to a large food shortage in Somalia and northern Kenya, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship is responding with an initial $5,000 in immediate relief to help provide food to famine victims.
"This is expected to be the worst famine in the last generation," said David Harding, one of CBF's field personnel in Ethiopia and the Fellowship's international disaster response coordinator.
Significant drought has led to the famine, prompting thousands of hungry Somali refugees to spill into neighboring countries such as Kenya, where CBF field personnel Melody and Sam Harrell have served since 1999.
The Harrells are currently traveling in the United States, but prior to leaving Kenya in early June, they anticipated the drought would escalate and thus staged for the distribution of 60,000 doses of a children's chewable multivitamin supplement. Additionally, the Fellowship's relief funds will purchase three tons of food specially formulated for individuals with compromised immune systems. This special porridge, made in nearby Nairobi, is a blend of natural ingredients that individuals can fully cook in less than 10 minutes. The food will be delivered to the Garissa area of Kenya, where the Harrells' trusted partner in ministry, Sisters Maternity Health Outreach, will distribute the food.
Harding said the Fellowship's next efforts will be to help address the root causes of the famine, such as water and agricultural development, allowing large non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to focus on major food relief.
You can give online now or send a check with "#17007 – Sub-Saharan Africa Response" in the memo line to Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, P.O. Box 101699, Atlanta, Ga., 30392.

: I was wondering if anyone knows the origin and meaning of the phrase "i don't suffer fools gladly"
The phrase refers to putting up with or having tolerance for the

the phrase or what century in which it was first used or coined.
Personally, the only "fools" I will "suffer" are my teenage children and very close friends.


text: Politics 22 April 2013 Five questions answered on Betfair's rejection of CVC Capital's takeover bid CVC shot down. Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML Online gambling firm Betfair has rejected CVC Capital Partners' take over bid. We answer five questions on why the company rejected the bid. What offer did CVC Capital Partners make to Betfair? CVC, which also owns Formula 1, made a preliminary bid of 880p per share to take over Betfair, offering the company around £912m in total. Why did Betfair reject this bid? According to The Telegraph, the company said in a statement released today that the offer "fundamentally undervalues the Company and its attractive prospects". According to the market, how much is Betfair worth? On Friday shares in Betfair closed at 805p, which values the business at about £834m. What else has Betfair said? Betfair's chairman, Gerald Corbett, speaking to The Telegraph, said: "We have a unique business with a market position, profitability, cash flow and prospects that this proposal fails to recognise." He added: "We will provide an update to the market on 7 May 2013 to set out the good progress we are making in the implementation of our strategy, including cost efficiencies, and our recent trading performance." How well have Betfair done in recent years? The company, which was founded in 2000 by Ed Wray – a former JP Morgan trader – and former professional gambler Andrew Black, has struggled over the last two-and-a-half years that it has been a public company. Its shares fell dramatically from its IPO price of £13 a share, following an over-hyped flotation, and last December it announced it was pulling out of Russia and Canada because of their unclear gambling regulations, despite the fact the markets made up almost a quarter of the company's revenue. › School children or MPs: who works the most?

AFP Releases 2012-2013 Taxpayer Scorecard
"Out of Touch" Legislature Yields Few "Taxpayer Heroes", Many "Taxpayer Zeroes"
Americans for Prosperity Taxpayer Scorecard, 215th Legislative Session by AFPHQ_NewJersey
MONMOUTH JUNCTION, NJ – The 215th New Jersey Legislature was no friend to hard-working New Jerseyans looking for tax relief, a pro-growth agenda and a return to fiscal sanity in Trenton. This is the message from Americans for Prosperity upon the release of the grassroots, free-market group's Taxpayer Scorecard—the state's premier fiscal legislative scorecard.
"The state Legislature is out of touch with reality and failing to stand up for the economic well-being of middle class New Jerseyans," said AFP state director Daryn Iwicki. "Everywhere I go people tell me they want their taxes cut and they want jobs. Yet, virtually every fiscal measure this Legislature takes up is aimed at growing government, digging New Jersey into a deeper hole and making it harder to create jobs here. And tax relief is nowhere in sight," added Iwicki.
AFP's 2012-2013 Taxpayer Scorecard includes 40 of the most critical measures impacting taxpayers and the state's fiscal and economic health taken up during the two-year legislative session. According to Mike Proto, AFP's communications director Mike Proto and manager of the scorecard project, most of the legislation is hurtful to residents.
"The bills we've included speak for themselves. The pursuit of higher spending, higher taxes, higher energy bills; these are all hallmarks of the recent legislative session. This Legislature is all-in on President Obama's disastrous health care law and has done long-lasting damage to our job market thanks to the very misguided constitutional amendment on the minimum wage."
"Simply put: Trenton continues to be the enemy of taxpayers and the enemy of prosperity," Proto declared.
"Taxpayer Heroes"
During the 215th Legislative Session, seven lawmakers earned AFP's coveted "Taxpayer Heroes" honor with legislative ratings of 90% and higher: Sen. Mike Doherty (R-23), the lone member of the senate, along with Assembly members Jay Webber (R-26), John DiMaio (R-23), Erik Peterson (R-23), Anthony M. Bucco (R-25), Michael Patrick Carroll (R-25), and Alison Littell McHose (R-24).
Twenty-six other legislators, all Republicans, were recognized as "Defenders of the Taxpayer" by AFP for achieving ratings between 80-89%.
"While the Legislature continues to lead New Jersey in the wrong direction, AFP commends these lawmakers for standing up for the interests of taxpayers and their constituents," added state director Iwicki.
The lowest-rated Republican legislator was District 16 Sen. Kip Bateman who was dubbed a "Taxpayer Foe" for tallying a 59% score.
"Taxpayer Zeroes"
All but two of the 70-member Democratic caucus—District 1 Sen. Jeff Van Drew and ex-Assemblyman Nelson Albano— were labeled as "Taxpayer Zeroes" with scores under 30%. Three Assembly Democrats departed the Legislature in infamy for registering 0% ratings: District 33's Sean Connors and Ruben Ramos and District 38's Connie Wagner.
Americans for Prosperity's Taxpayer Scorecard is available for download at www.TaxpayerScorecard.com.

Fido has added a couple more Android devices to their lineup today. As expected, the Samsung Galaxy SII LTE and the entry-level Galaxy Ace IIx.
