What ministers are saying about fallout from interview debacle
I have spoken to backbenchers since last Tuesday and, yes, obviously there are people who are worried about what happened on Tuesday. But equally there is a clear understanding among the people I have spoken with that our situation as a country is too vital and too serious for us to be diverted by, in effect, a party row at this stage."
"If we as politicians and as human beings are not allowed to live in this country with the freedom that every person else has it's a very sad day.
"We are going to be asked what time we went to bed, what time did we get up, what did we eat, where did we go, who did we talk to? Then I think we are taking politics too far."
"You are straying into another area that hasn't happened. We don't know what the situation is. I've said we're leaving the situation behind now having listened to the man apologise."
"In terms of the various issues that surfaced, I think we all have to reflect in terms of how the conference was organised, in terms of communications issues and so on like that. Clearly we have lessons to learn and we will work on that particular agenda in terms of future events and future communications strategies."
"When I was listening to it live, I said to myself 'what are you doing this for?'
But it's very easy in hindsight. It's easy for any of us to say I shouldn't have done that.
"I heard it and I thought . . . oooh . . . it sounded awful. I knew it sounded awful. Not what he was saying but how he was saying it."
"I don't think it's a crisis. I think it's an unwelcome incident as far as he is concerned. He has apologised for it and come out very strongly today saying he knows he needs to adapt his style a bit to the office he has and the demands of the office. People's expectations of the public representatives are very high and they are right.
"I think the onus is on us to make sure that we meet those high standards as far as possible. But then people in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones."
"I do have confidence that Brian Cowen can lead us through that sort of work.

Newark Youth Court
The Newark Youth Court trains teenagers to serve as jurors, judges, and advocates, handling real-life cases involving their peers. The goal of the Newark Youth Court is to use positive peer pressure to ensure that young people who have committed minor offenses restore harm done to the community and receive the help they need to avoid further involvement in the justice system. The Newark Youth Court hears a range of low-level offenses referred by the Newark Police Department, the Newark Municipal Court and Newark Public Schools. The majority of cases that come to the Newark Youth Court are for truancy, simple assault (fighting), and disorderly conduct.
The Newark Youth Court is part of Newark Community Solutions. For more information about Newark Community Solutions, click here.
How It Works
The Newark Youth Court is a program for young people ages 10 – 18 referred by the Newark Police Department, the Newark Municipal Truancy Court, and Newark Public Schools for offenses such as curfew violations, vandalism, disorderly conduct, and truancy. These young people appear before a judge and jury of their peers – other neighborhood teens – who determine fair and appropriate responses. Before the Youth Court hearing, the referred youth – the "respondent" – meets with his or her "Youth Advocate," a young person who represents the respondent throughout the case. During the hearing, the respondent tells his/her story and is questioned by members of the jury. Unlike in a traditional court, the purpose of the jury's questioning is not only to learn more about the offense, but also to better understand what led to the incident, how the respondent feels about his/her experience, and to prompt the respondent to reflect on his/her behavior. After considering all of the information and the respondent's personal strengths, the jury decides on a fair and appropriate sanction that holds the youth accountable, restores harm done to the community, and assists the youth to avoid trouble in the future. Newark Youth Court staff members closely monitor the completion of sanctions and then report back to the referral source. Most cases move through this process, from intake to resolution, in two months, depending on the respondent's ability to complete sanctions in a timely manner.
The Newark Youth Court is a restorative justice program that emphasizes:
Responsibility: The Newark Youth Court teaches young people that actions have consequences. Because this message comes from other young people, it is more likely to be heard and understood. The youth court process asks respondents to reflect on their actions and understand how their behavior affects others around them.
Restoring the Community: Newark Youth Court members care about their community and expect the same from their peers. Respondents are often sanctioned to restore the harm done to their community through service, apologies, and other actions. For example, youth have been sanctioned to help plant trees in local parks, help community groups set up for local events, and assist in local activities for younger children.
Help: The Newark Youth Court links young people and their families to services such as counseling, and provides workshops to help youths make better decisions and avoid future involvement with the justice system.
Leadership: The Newark Youth Court teaches young people how to be leaders. Members are trained in group-decision making, critical thinking and public speaking. The program provides a positive opportunity for young people to engage with judges, lawyers, criminal justice officials and the court system. In addition to this, youths who have successfully gone through the youth court program as respondents are encouraged to become members.
Since the launch of the program in 2009, the Newark Youth Court has served more than 450 respondents. Additionally, youth court members and respondents contributed more than 1,700 hours of community service hours at soup kitchens, after school programs, local community events, urban gardens and parks.
Program partners include the City of Newark, the Newark Police Department, the Newark Municipal Court, Newark Public Schools, and other community-based organizations. The Newark Youth Court is supported by funding from the Victoria Foundation, and the City of Newark.

The ARRM/MOHR Day at the Capitol is an annual day of advocacy where more than 1,000 direct care staff, managers, family members and people who receive home and community-based services rally together at the Minnesota State Capitol to make their voices heard. Attendees come from all over the state in buses and vans to make sure that legislators hear their voices and know their issues. In addition to a large rally, ARRM organizes meetings between legislators and their constituents throughout the day, and if the day coincides with a hearing of important legislation, attendees show up in strength. It is an important day that ARRM, its members, legislators, and everyone who attends looks forward to.
Back in the State Capitol building for the first time since having to move the event due to renovations, more than 1,000 marched back into the Capitol Rotunda to advocate for better wages for direct care staff.
Staff came with the people they support, and vice versa. There were many, many familiar faces but also dozens of first time advocates who came to share their story with legislators.
Work didn't end with the huge rally. Advocates held more than 160 meetings with legislators throughout the day, sharing information on important issues and legislation, and also just sharing their personal stories.

Just a normal afternoon in Sydney… People just going about their business, maybe grabbing some lunch at McDonald's, when a helicopter lands in parking lot. The pilot casually gets out, ordered some food, climbed back in and took off.
So, this should be illegal, but apparently if the pilot has permission from the owner he can land on the property. But honestly, who's going to stop this guy? He has a helicopter and he landed in a public parking lot with a very intimidating confidence.
He should have used the drive through, would have saved him time…

General Motors Co. cut its sponsorship budget by 60% compared to pre-bankruptcy levels. This may signal the end of multimillion-dollar rights deals as GM seeks to connect more effectively with consumers.
In an interview last Wednesday, Steve Tihanyi, GM's general director of marketing services, including sports sponsorships, said that" we shouldn't expect GM to do eight or nine mega-rights deals any longer."
GM reportedly wants "more bang for [its] buck." Last June, GM filed for bankruptcy and emerged the next month after it received a $50 billion funding from the US government, which now owns a 61% stake in the company.
According to sponsorship research firm Navigate, GM spent about $230 million to $250 million on sponsorships from 2006 to 2008. About half of that amount was used in NASCAR auto racing and other motorsports. Navigate President A.J. Maestas said that this does not include what GM spent to publicize these deals through ads and promotions.
This means that the combined outlay amounts to about $500 million. Maestas said that GM still does rank among the 10 largest corporate spenders even with half its pre-bankruptcy levels.
GM's spending isn't expected to return to the 2008 total for another five to six years. Tihanyi would not reveal GM's spending but said the 2010 budget would be largely unchanged from last year. [via autonews - sub. required]

Worst Zelda GamesMinunLink7 Every Zelda game is great in it's own unique way (except for the cdi) but there are just some you don't feel like finishing sometimes.
The Top Ten
This game is by far the worst Zelda game in the series and I'm surprised that this has only about 20% of the votes. Seriously if you hate any other Zelda game then you obviously haven't played this one. Close to one of the WORST GAMES EVER
Nintendo didn't actually make this game. It was made by a crappy company who also brought you Link: The faces of Evil and Hotel Mario. I can't remember the company name because no one on the face of the earth enjoys their games.
Somebody take Wind Waker off! And Gamelon sucks
Man, tis is worst than sonic 06 - LinkbadassV 23 Comments
IT SHOULD BE HIGHER! Faces of evil is the worst zelda game. And WHY ARE SKYWARD SWORD AND WIND WAKER EVEN ON THIS LIST?!?! SS being number 7 is one thing but WW being NUMBER 1 IS RIDICULOUS!
The character voices are stupid and awful and the mid-scenes are just ridiculous.
Who cares if "GIRLY" Link can do the duck walk, it just looks stupid and weird.
I hate this game. its one of the worst Zelda games ever.
This one is worse because CDI Link is way more annoying than CDI Zelda.V 5 Comments
I can't believe Zelda's Adventure is top 10! Seriously, this game sucks.
Why is this 11, it should be 1
This isn't even a legit Zelda game
This is by far the least playable of the Zelda CD-I games!V 7 Comments
Ocean kings temple too long, enough said
First game in the series I ever played, but gamers these days think Zelda sucks because of their Call of Duty addictions, and lame asses nowadays whine about how hard this game was.
I agree this was the game that got me in zelda I agree it is hard but you babies can't beat it
The Legend of Zelda phantom hourglass is disappointedV 3 Comments
The controls were really awkward in this game, especially with the swordplay since it would swing a certain way for me instead of the intended direction I wanted it to go. The story is a rehash of spirit tracks, (seriously, go through both games and see how the premise of saving Zelda from a servant of an evil being isn't similar at all in these games.), it's one of the most linear Zelda games to date, and rarely any of the content and events feel original. The master sword spreading it's wings is a clear copy and paste of wind waker's versions. The world this game takes place in feels lifeless compared to other 3D Zelda games, where there's only one town filled with people in this game. Almost all the equipment are items from previous games with the only exceptions being the beetle and the harp (an item that's only purpose is to progress to different areas, no fast travel like the ocarina or wind waker, nothing that can actually help you like the previously mentioned items.) Overall, ...more
People are STILL hating on this game? Wow, I thought we were past that. This game is an awesome game, and a lot of people would say it is the best Zelda game.. I think it is the 2nd best Zelda game after Ocarina of Time.
Who voted for this game? Because it has perfect motion plus controls, vibrant colors, great characters, an amazing story, and endless fun. Don't vote for Skyward Sword!
But this game is really fun!V 26 Comments
It costs 4 dollars at eb games
okay game
Forces you to buy the "mystical" Wii Zapper...
Pop this game in your wii and prepare to face INSTANT regret.
can the Wii Zapper itself please be #1 thanks.
In my opinion this could have taken out the franchise, and its only the 2nd game!
Decent and way too difficult
Have you seen how terible this is?V 2 Comments
I have a deep hatred for this game not only was I not able to play by myself, but I couldn't find anyone who had this game. After looking at a walkthrough the game seems incredibly short and is set up as a stage select instead of an adventure requiring you to travel at your own pace. The only thing this game is worth getting for is the Link to the Past game that came with it. Which by the way was my favorite of the franchise.
I haven't played the GameCube version, only the anniversary version that came out on the DSI store back in 2011. It's SO BAD. It took me more than a year to complete the game once (I haven't fully completed the game yet after 6 years) due to the fairies not giving me the keys because I haven't COLLECTED ENOUGH RUPEES (3k rupees is that not enough for you) - ItsDaWorldOfSNuGGLEZ
Four toon links how can that be possible?
I've seen gameplay of this game. it looks okay but deserves this spot.
This game is not as good as the others but is underrated - Retroman64
This game is GOOD
NOOV 1 Comment
I have never heard of this game but after seeing this I will proceed to buy it without any knowledge of what the gameplay is actually like.
This is an awesome game.
The Contenders
Screw all of you who is saying it's the worst game
Whoever made this list is a flat-out idiot with no sense of a good game or adventure!
Why do you hate this game? Screw you for whoever put this game on this list
This game was way too nice to be one of the worst, the cell-shading isn't the cup of tea of everyone? I could respect that.
a remake with the Miiverse features was uncessary to begin, these two things (a good game, terrible social-gaming) wasn't a great combinaison, I prefer to enjoy a game for its adventure, not by useless applications.
While I love Ocarina and Twilight Princess, they never really nailed the creepy atmosphere for me. They're just like: Hey! Here's a Dead Hand! Hey! Here's a ghostie! Are you scared yet? Majora however, makes creepy things more meaningful, like the end of the world and the ways of getting the transformation masks. And that moment with Pamela and her father had me in tears. It's a shame people have only heard of this game because of a stupid campfire tale.
This game is amazing and in my opinion one of the best games of all time. also I hate everyone who said that its bad
I didn't like this game. I found the time loop mechanic to be VERY annoying, essentially erasing all my hard work and forcing me to do things all over again.
Why is it lower than some of the best zeldas? This game is trash catered to 3edgy5me emos and Ben drowned fanboys. Make no mistake: this is the worst zelda game by farV 7 Comments
This game is amazing, I don't know how it got on here because it is one of the best Zelda games and anyone who hates it sucks at life.
AMAZING is the only way to describe this game.

This game sucks very bad. really your known as the hero of trains and you don't even have the green clothes Any more!
Ocarina of time and link between worlds don't deserve to be here
Are you kidding? This is a great game!
This game is best!
It isn't a bad game, but for me, it destroyed a Link to the Past, now everyone plays lbtw. And believe me, I'm not Egoraptor who is stuck with the classics, I love skyward sword (and oot, and botw, and mm, and wind waker... Tp didn't stand out for me
Is the best one both for the gamecube and wii the wii one is mirrored
This is one of the best Zelda games how did it get here
While not being a BAD game, it fails to capture the essence of what Zelda should be. With bland graphics, forgettable characters and a sound-track that only survives because it rides on the back of its predecessors, it killed everything that The Wind Waker and Majora's Mask gave the franchise.
This game is awesome apparently you're just some salty fanboy!V 11 Comments
Is this a sick joke!? Why is this on the list?
Though it is a bit overrated, ocarina is still a great game!
Get this, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword off of the list. Never played Majora's Mask or Wind Waker, but most people seem to like it, so get them off the list too.
Who would hate this game?V 17 Comments
Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game, and a lot of people can agree. But Master Quest, oh god. The puzzles are insanely stupid. Stalfos everywhere, poking things with your hookshot as a "puzzle", and downright annoying dungeons.

I want to grant (or not) someprivileges on specific objects.
I made something like that:
GRANT SELECT ON [dbo].[AGENT] TO [web]
DENY UPDATE , INSERT , DELETE ON [dbo].[AGENT] TO [web] CASCADE
Actually, my problem is that I have to deploy my stored procedures on another server where these settings should be set up.
But it looks when I made my export to that server I lost the grants for my user.
That's why I thought it will be nice to have a script that will make the job automatically.
Anyway, I should change the way I made the export because I have checked up the option "Drop destinaton objects first".


text: Hi, Taking the data available on nm.debian.org, I've noticed that in the last six months only 28 applicants became Debian Developers. This means roughly every 6.4 days an applicant gets processed by a DAM. Further I've noticed that by this time 25 of the 28 applicants where processed by only one DAM-Member (joerg). Since the current DAM-queue has 24 applicants this means that a new applicant entering the DAM queue has to wait on average 5 months until he/she gets processed. This is quite frustrating, since most of the applicants are surely doing already the normal work every Developer has to do, but are not able to upload or participate on current votes. So my question is: Is this a known problem and are there any short- and longterm solutions in progress? Shouldn't we have some more DAMs in order to process the queue faster? Seeing that the vast majority of the DAM work is done only by one of the two DAM members, it seems the DAM is heavily understaffed. Please note that I'm not blaming the current DAM members for being slow or something, I really appreciate their work and time they are investing and I am aware of the fact that they are also highly involved in other important parts of the Debian project. But on the other side the DAM queue has been really slow in the last year, so I guess there is some space to improve the situation. Cheers, Bastian (Hoping that rising his voice on this issue won't be rewarded with some extra months in the queue :P ) -- Bastian Venthur http://venthur.de

World powers and Iran arrived Tuesday to carry on talks over Tehran's disputed nuclear programme for a second day, after what both sides described as a "constructive" meeting so far.
Discussions will centre on finding an agreement on a framework that could lead to "several sessions" of further negotiations, sources from both parties said.
After a 14-month break, the first day of talks in the Swiss city of Geneva were "constructive" and "forward moving", an Iranian official said.
Tuesday's meeting would look at fixing "the framework for future discussions during which we could talk about nuclear disarmament and about cooperation in the civil nuclear domain," although the "(nuclear) right of Iran will not be discussed.
A member of the Iranian delegation told AFP that on Tuesday, "we will talk about nuclear disarmament, non-proliferation and nuclear cooperation."
Western sources also said parties would attempt to hammer out an agenda for future discussions and described Monday's talks as "good, constructive, and in a good atmosphere."
"If the negotiations have carried on for such a long time, it was because there were things to talk about," said one source, who added that a number of subjects were addressed, "including the nuclear dossier."
The two-day meeting 14 months after the last attempt to temper Iran's uranium enrichment drive and fathom its true nuclear ambitions is taking place amid tougher international sanctions on Tehran.
Iran maintains that it is seeking nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
But after repeated breakdowns in international inspections and the build up of uranium enrichment, Western countries suspect that the Islamic republic is engaging in a covert programme to build nuclear weapons.
Iran triggered heightened concern in the West on Sunday by revealing it had taken a new step in the nuclear fuel cycle, producing its first home-grown batch of the raw material for enrichment, uranium yellowcake and making it "self sufficient," according to the country's atomic chief.
The talks in Geneva brought together the European Union's top diplomat, Catherine Ashton, and Iran's chief negotiator, Saeed Jalili, as well as officials from Britain, China, France, Germany, Russia and the United States around the same table at the Swiss UN mission building.
Jalili began the talks on Monday by making a vehement protest against the recent assassination of a top nuclear scientist in Tehran, questioning why the international group did not condemn it, according to an Iranian source.
He later held one-on-one meetings with the heads of the Chinese, Russian and British delegations.
Jalili also met Ashton for a working dinner on Monday night following the first day of talks to prepare for the second day.
European sources were not expecting the Geneva talks to produce instant results but hoping to re-engage Iran over the longer term.
Iranian leaders have in recent days reiterated their long standing line that Tehran's nuclear "right" is non-negotiable.
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki nonetheless added on a visit to Athens on Monday that there were "certain shared positions where we could cooperate."
In Brussels, Israeli Ambassador Jeremy Issacharoff said his expectations for the Geneva talks were measured and claimed Iran was "trying to get more legitimacy for its nuclear programme, it is trying to gain time."
In Bahrain, Gulf countries eyed the talks with scepticism. Emirati Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan openly criticised the West for excluding Iran's neighbours from the dialogue.

NFL: Cleveland Browns opt to go with Brian Hoyer - not Johnny Manziel - as starting QB
Last Updated: 20/08/14 5:15pm
Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine has confirmed that Brian Hoyer, not rookie Johnny Manziel, will be his starting quarterback for the new NFL season.
Hoyer has got the nod for the job despite completing just two of his six pass attempts for 16 yards in the pre-season game against the Washington Redskins on Monday night.
Brian has done a great job in the meeting rooms and with his team-mates on the practice field and in the locker room.
Mike Pettine
However the 28-year-old - an undrafted free agent who was signed by the New England Patriots in 2009 and spent three seasons in Boston before being cut - had been first choice under centre at the start of training camp.
"He was the clear leader from the beginning," Pettine, who set to embark on his first season in charge of the Browns, having previously been offensive coordinator in Buffalo, told the team's official website.
"We've maintained all along that if it was close, I would prefer to go with the more experienced player. Brian has done a great job in the meeting rooms and with his team-mates on the practice field and in the locker room.
"I think Brian's been very poised. I think he's handled the situation well. He's had a lot of things going on."
Serious injury
Hoyer has made just four starts in an NFL career that has also included stops in Pittsburgh and Arizona. The last of those came for Cleveland against the Buffalo Bills last October, when he suffered a season-ending knee injury.
Manziel, meanwhile, was taken with the 22nd pick in this year's draft after the Browns traded up to the former Texas A&M quarterback who won the prestigious Heisman Trophy in 2012.
The 22-year-old - nicknamed 'Johnny Football' - completed seven of 16 passes for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Browns' 24-23 loss to Washington after taking over from Hoyer.
Manziel also had a moment of controversy when he appeared to raise his middle finger at the Redskins bench late in the third quarter.
"He's certainly made great strides," Pettine said of the man who will now be the back-up for the season opener at the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 7.
"We are pleased with where he is, and he has shown that he has come a long way in his ability to pick up the playbook, be coachable and lead an offense. We are confident that Johnny is going to have a great future, but we just felt that Brian still had a decided edge on him."

Towards a Conceptual Framework of Corporate Branding in Retailing
The view that corporate brand building in retailing is different to any other context is predicated in the belief that 'Goods' retailers need to manage a range of corporate components, its multiple relationships with customers and its dependence on employees to personify and deliver much of the corporate identity. These differences in operations are perceived as adding a degree of complexity to an already challenging process of corporate brand development. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for the corporate brand building process within an SME retail context.

With more than 40,000 people on the Wimbledon grounds each day fears over an outbreak have prompted the All England Club to consult the Health Protection Agency for advice on controlling its spread.
As yet there are no plans to interrupt play at the Championships but All England Club chief executive Ian Ritchie has written to all staff warning them to stay away from the tournament if they develop flu-like symptoms such as a fever, runny nose, sore throat, cough, aches and pains, or a temperature of 38 degrees C.
In a note circulated among all those working at the tournament Ritchie warned: "If you start suffering from these symptoms please do not come to the Championship until recovered and consult your local doctor. If you feel like you are developing flu-like symptoms on site please call the St John Ambulance control."
Ritchie said the outbreak was confined to "a small number" of personnel and that play would proceed as normal.
"Having consulted closely with the Health Protection Agency, we have been reassured that since the incidence is entirely in line with the wider London community there is no particular extra risk to all those connected with the event, be they players, media, staff or spectators, and we are able to continue with the Championships as usual," he said.
Ritchie's warning comes after the Daily Telegraph disclosed that unlike pre-Wimbledon events the All England Club has not taken any specific measures to protect ball boys and girls from potentially catching the virus from players' towels.
LTA wrote to all parents of ball boys and girls at its Edgbaston and Roehampton tournaments warning them of the risks of handling towels and provided an antiseptic hand-gel under the umpire's chair for them to wash their hands.
The All England has not extended the measures to the Championships.

The gates at Beaumont's Magnolia Park public pool opened for the first time all year on Saturday. It's an exciting time for both swimmers and lifeguards, but pool manager Kirvis Fontenot knows they have a job to do.
"This is the place for everyone to have fun, but fun can turn into tragedy real quick," said Fontenot, talking about the dangers of swimming.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 10 Americans die everyday from unintentional drowning.
"That's why I don't leave my kids here, I'm here with them," said Samantha Britt, who was at the pool with her husband and 4 kids on Saturday.
Fontenot and his team of 7 lifeguards are there to make sure all the swimmers make it home safe and sound.
"You come here to swim," Fontenot said. "We're not coming to wrestle, we're not coming to dunk (each other)."
All the standard rules, like no running, diving, or horseplay, are strictly enforced. Then there's the weather to worry about.
"If I see a flash of lightning or hear thunder, we get everyone out of the pool," said Fontenot.
On top of all that, each swimmer wanting to swim in the deep end must pass a swim test every time they come out.
"Today is Saturday. They might've passed it today, but if they come back out tomorrow, when it comes to the deep end, they're going to have to take that same swim test," said Fontenot. "It proves that you can swim for a long period of time without getting tired."
Fontenot appreciates one thing more than anything else, parents like Britt who keep a close eye on their kids.
"I love it," he said. "Parents, no one's gonna watch your baby like you watch your baby."
The public pool at Alice Keith Park is scheduled to open on June 11th.

Suggestions for a day in Rio de Janeiro
Report Abuse
What are your interest? If you are interested in modern art or architecture Museum of Modern Art (MAM) and Museum of Contemporary Art (MAC) in Niteroi (designed by Oscar Niemeyer) are both worth visiting. MAC is a short ferry ride away and the building is stunningly beautiful, the restaurant has the most amazing view back to Rio.
The Botanic Gardens is also fantastic, it's listed in the top 100 gardens of the world. You can see a huge range of vegetation (chocolate trees, giant lily pads)as well as monkeys and we even saw a toucan.
Taking the tram (bonde) up to the neighbourhood of Santa Teresa is a nice trip and there are shops selling souvenirs and touristy nick nacks (it's a bohemian area with an arty atmosphere, good bars and restaurants).
Alternatively, the two most popular things to do in Rio are: go to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar), or to the top of Corcovado (it's where the stature of Christ the Redemeer is situated). If it's cloudy weather, there's not a lot of point going ot Corcovado as there won't be much of a view. Sugar Loaf is the one I would choose to do if I had limited time.
Report Abuse
I second the trip up to the Santa Teresa neighborhood idea. There are some exceptional restaurants and perhaps the best souvenir shops in the entire city. You will not be disappointed. I suggest you take the trolly that goes all the way to the top (end of the line) it is every other one. STAY ON the train at the top and ride back down to the small neighborhood business district and get off. The views and unique old large houses are worth the trip up and back. There are also two museums a short walk from where you will have lunch. Ask for directions. Then you can walk down the famous staircase from there to the Lapa district for a drink.
Have fun.

I strongly recommend Aprazivel for lunch if you go to Santa Teresa. I think a trip up to Corcovado, lunch in Santa Teresa, and a leisurely stroll along the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema would make for a memorable day. We did go on a private all day tour which is described here:

I second Marija's recommendations regarding Rio. We had the pleasure of spending a day with both Rafael and Marcone in March. We visited Corcovado, San Conrado, Marapendi, Tijuca Forest and Grumari beach. I'm sure he'll customize a tour for you within your time frame. His prices are very reasonable. There are excellent tour guides in Rio but Rafael is exceptional. I agree with Susan about the Botanical Gardens. We spent a whole afternoon meandering around.

I met Raffa and Marcone in December. They weren't our guides, but were friends of our guide Cedric (Cedric has moved to Salvador I believe.)
Having a guide is great, they can customize what you want.
We did Sugarloaf, the Christ, Tijuca, old Rio, sights in Niteroi. Had an amazing lunch out at Prainha, a beach west of Barra, right by the water, another lunch at the MAC. It was outstanding.
Just don't go in December if you can help it. It's *hot*. Our next trip will be at some other time of year.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone can give more information about the tour guide Rafael in Rio? You mention he is exceptional, sounds great! What are his rates?
If anyone has other tour guide recommendations for Rio please let me know!
Report Abuse
I think most of the reputable guides charge the same ballpark for similar services. Rafa is really a nice guy, his English is good, and I'm sure he will give you value. If he is not available I'm betting he can recommend some alternatives.

We paid $150 for a car and driver for a long day.

Do not miss: Botanical Garden, Tijuca Forest, Christ the Redeemer statue and Pao de Azucar (exceptional at night, especially if there is a full moon!). We bought an all day Jeep tour from a hostel in Ipanema, and it was fabulous for seeing many of the major sights.
Santa Teresa is also nice, and the arches of Lapa interesting and surrounded by a fascinating neighborhood with churches of varying architecture and beauty. The buildings of downtown are very old and interesting, particularly if you enjoy sculpture and architecture, and little tucked-away restaurants await your discovery.
Be bold, but wise. Take buses and taxis -- but pay attention that you are being charged rate 1 in the taxi for daytime and weekday (rate 2 is night/holiday and more expensive!) Ask how much a trip to X will cost prior to getting in...it does help.
Yes, yes, yes on the Nitori trip, but with limited time, not certain this is the best way to spend time although the museum (MAC)is quite a thing of beauty (I tried to see Niemeyer's works in every city I visited, so it was a personal goal to view and photograph).
Also great to see the paragliders come in a Barra de Tijuca. Ipanema and Copacabana beaches are beautiful, with excellent "towelside" service, but I did find the water at Copa a bit dirty with trash. Excellent restaurants abound, and good shopping as well. I brought home bikinis (tell them you are North American for more conservative styles!), coffee, and beautiful shoes like you will never see in the US. Distict and beautiful jewelry is another souvenir I continually get compliments on here at home.

Aleta, I am excited for you. You are visiting my most favorite city of the world; San Francisco formerly was at the top but is in the second position now.
My fellow posters gave you excellent suggestions in how one should spend her/his day is the "Land of the Cariocas." I had planned to make some suggestions, but what they provided is ample in terms of time, and from what they presented (which is outstanding) you will have to be selective.
For variety I would attempt to go to Santa Teresa via the bonde (tram/cable car type vehicle)--take in scenery, ambience, and attempt to have lunch at that restaurant which one of the posters mentioned. This area is unique as well as artistically bohemian.

On this same topic (My situation will be similar to the OP's), If I wanted to go to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar), or to the top of Corcovado, how much walking would be involved? I ask this because I am partially disabled and have trouble walking even short distances. Any thoughts on this?
Vic's travels: http://my.flightmemory.com/vogilvie
Report Abuse
There's much less walking at Pão de Açúcar, you can get straight out at the top and the view is just there, plus you get spectacular views from the cable car.
The train for Corcovado goes through quite dense forest so you don't see much on the way up. There's a walk from where the train stops and then a series of ascending steps to get to the statue. You can get a sense of the geography from this picture.

Escalators and elevators have been installed in Corcovado.

Looking at the picture Susan7 supplied, is it possible to take either an escalator or elevator right up to the base of the Christ the Redeemer statue?

Vic--I think the escalators go to the base of the statue, although I didn't pay attention since it wasn't an issue for us. If you read this tour guide's blurb, he seems to indicate that you can get all the way up:

I've traveled to Rio de janeiro seven times during this decade, and I have not encountered any difficulty or the so-called "dangerous" city. Yes, there's violence. What major city in the world does not have its share? I think Rio's image has been soured because of the gang situation which exists in the favelas (the hilltop "slum areas") and at times has spilled over into some of the nicer areas.
Conduct yourself as you would in any large city. Take taxis and buses, and know where you're going before setting out! Check to see if the meters are running, and don't worry about tipping taxi drivers. Many times the changing of large bills is impossible, so try to have R$20s and R$10s and R$5s with you. Most fares are rounded out to the exact amount or almost the amount. <I can't explain this, sorry!> Don't worry!
...don't wear expensive watches or good jewelry. Be low keyed in this area. Keep cameras out of site as a previous writer presented.
"...how dangerous it is...." The Americans have a sense of this based on the news they've read or heard. Note what I wrote in the above because I've gotten the same thing too when I've told folks that I went to Rio/Brazil or am going. "Is it violent there!" I want to ask them where did they obtain this assessment.

There are so many interesting places to visit in Rio: botanical garden, sugar loaf, corcovado, copacabana fortress, ipanema, the neighbohood of Santa Teresa, etc.
But if you have a short time I suggest you to book the services of a private tour operator: they make everything easier and safer. I used the services of a private tour called rio experience, announced here, in fodors. Enjoy Rio!

The view from the Corcovado is absolutely magnificent and really is a world-class must-see. The short, steep, and winding cog railway through dense tropical forest to the top is a great ride.

My only visit to Rio was on an 11 hour layover. It gave us just enough time to visit Pao de Acucar (Sugarloaf), Corcovado and Ipanema Beach with lunch in the middle somewhere. It was pretty rushed and if you plan to come back sometime soon, I would definitely focus on one or two areas followed by dinner at Antiquarius or one of the fine cafes along the beach.
Report Abuse
Why "Due to the festivities I do not want to try to use a cab etc.."? A taxi would be the cheapest and most efficient way to get to the base station of Sugarloaf and back to your accomodation. Onthe way back, you can take a bit of a stroll around the Urca neighborhood and find a taxi rank in the neighborhood. In my extensive experience, taxi drivers in Rio, some of whom I number among my friends, are honest family men just out to support their families by getting you where you want to go in the most direct manner possible. There is no need for a guide once on the mountain.
Report Abuse
I live in Rio, and Corcovado and Sugar Loaf is a must. Don't lose it. Try to walk in a saturday afternoon in Ipanema Beach, and see the sun set... having and ice cream it is gorgeous. Unfortunately, the train in Santa Teresa had a very bad accident, and I believe it is going to take long to travel again. try the bar DEVASSA in Ipanema, at Anibal de Mendonça for a beer. Just relax and enjoy.

This gathering of civil engineers, urban architects, policy makers, technology experts, and related professionals will provide a showcase for the latest developments and advancements in design, construction, technology, policy and education related to sustainable infrastructure and offers a forum to discuss and debate future directions for the 21st century.
Conference topics, focusing on sustainable cities for an uncertain world cover a broad array of contemporary issues for professionals involved in the development of sustainable infrastructure.
Greg McCarron will present a session on Decentralized, Urban Composting
The NYC Compost Project Hosted by Big Reuse is a program funded by the New York City Department of Sanitation, which features a food scrap compost facility, located under the Queensboro Bridge. The compost facility uses the GORE® Cover System technology, which is a covered aerated static pile (ASP) system. SCS Engineers (SCS) prepared a new facility layout, which will increase the processing capacity of the site to 1000 cubic yards of food scraps annually. The facility layout occupies a ½-acre parcel and includes the following:
- Two (2) GORE® Cover Systems, approximately 20 feet by 50 feet (Phase 1)
- Windrow areas for Phase 2 and Phase 3 (uncovered)
- Stockpile areas for feedstock, and finished compost
- Mobile equipment, including a skid-steer loader, mixer, screen and food scrap containers
- Storage container
- Working surfaces
- Stormwater management features
- Contact water management features
Vector nuisances and odor generation are minimized through the use of the cover system and contact water is collected. The GORE® Cover system utilizes forced aeration, coupled with a semi-permeable membrane cover, to achieve a fully-encapsulated composting process.
The NYC Compost Project works to rebuild NYC's soils by providing New Yorkers with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to produce and use compost locally. The compost facility is part of the NYC Compost Project, and part of a community-scale composting network in New York City. The finished compost is used in community gardens, on street trees, and in public beautification projects. The following design and operational items will be presented:
- Site layout
- Feedstock mixing
- Covered ASP system
- Open windrows
- Monitoring
- Screening
- Odor and contamination issues

text: I was raised on the outskirts of Buffalo, New York at the tail end of the steel empire. I had a taste of the industrial revolution in full force. After studying Graphic Design at the University of Cincinnati I found myself in Seattle. There the forces of the mountains, the ocean, and the deep forest had their way with me and I found my home. In 1990 I realized that I was increasingly dissatisfied with the corporate world and the inside of a cubicle. I decided to test the waters of the open air craft markets. I had always loved making things with my hands. I fell in love with another way of working in the world. I discovered a supportive, joyful, music and dance loving community that continues to enrich my life daily. Over the past 20 years I seeped my way south via Portland and Jawbone Flats (an old mining camp turned forest preserve in Oregon). Throw a few adventures in along the way, like sailing to Hawaii on a square rigged ship, backpacking in New Zealand and playing Tai Chi in HongKong for the full flavor. Eventually I landed in a small town in Oregon called Cottage Grove. Here I am able to play director to an incredible complex symphony. That of homesteading 5.5 acres, painting my dreams, growing food, creating a market craft, and playing and praying with my local tribe.

Takeaways From Samsung's First-Quarter Earnings
Samsung Electronics Co. reported its strongest quarter of year-on-year mobile profit growth in nearly three years after it moved up the release of its flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S7, as well as a curved-screen variant. Here are five takeaways from the South Korean handset giant's earnings report and analyst call.
Last year, when Samsung first released its double-curved-screen flagship smartphone, it couldn't keep up with customer demand, leading to lost sales and unsold units of its premium non-curved device. This year, Samsung appears to have adjusted its product mix. Even so, as Lee Kyeong-tae, vice-president of mobile communications reported, in North America, China and the Middle East, the device was "being sold out almost immediately upon arrival."
Robert Yi, Samsung's head of investor relations, said Thursday the company may spend slightly more than last year to expand its manufacturing facilities, although details have yet to be decided. Samsung spent a total of 25.5 trillion Korean won ($22.2 billion) in capital expenditure last year, with 14.7 trillion won of that sum allocated for chips and 4.7 trillion won for displays. But executives remain cautious about future investment plans as concerns over a supply glut in the semiconductor market continue to circulate.
Directly addressing those concerns about oversupply in the global chip market, Chun Se-won, an executive with the chip unit, sees an improved supply-demand balance in the second half of the year. Mr. Chun added that Samsung would have "profitability in mind" when producing chips and try not to outpace the supply growth expected in the market. Samsung reported a 10% drop in chip profits in the first quarter, the unit's first year-on-year profit decline in more than three years. The decline wasn't unexpected but raised questions about how bad this year might be for Samsung's chip business.
Local media have been reporting that Samsung has signed a deal with Apple Inc. to supply flexible organic light-emitting diode, or OLED, screens for its next-generation iPhones. Samsung executives spent the earnings call carefully tiptoeing around growing expectations for a bout of new investment to ramp up OLED production. Lee Chang-hoon, an executive with Samsung's display unit, was coy: "OLED demand from smartphone makers is expected to grow continually, and we'll be prepared to address what's asked of us."
Samsung said last October that it would boost dividends and buy back and cancel about $10 billion worth of its shares. Mr. Yi, the head of investor relations, said Thursday that the plan is on track, with a third wave announced worth 2 trillion Korean won. Even with the shareholder returns, the company reported that it had piled up 72.7 trillion won in cash by the end of March, a new record high.

AHA Policy Research
White Coats and Many Colors: Population Diversity and Its Implications for Health Care (pdf), December 2005
An issue brief prepared for AHA by Emily Friedman, Independent Health Policy and Ethics Analyst. When populations change, some areas of society are affected more quickly than others. But there are always at least two areas where the impact is felt immediately: education and health care. School systems across the country are already adjusting to more diverse and complex student populations. Health care providers and insurers are doing the same. But much more must be done, and soon, if the health care system is to continue to provide accessible, high-quality services to all patients.
Forward Momentum: Hospital Use of Information Technology (pdf), October 2005
To gauge the extent of IT use among hospitals and better understand the barriers to further adoption, the AHA surveyed hospitals in April 2005. The survey asked about use of specific kinds of IT, financing of IT systems, barriers to greater use, and involvement in arrangements to share clinical information.

Consumer Directed Insurance Products, A Survey of Industry (ppt), April 2005
In collaboration with the Federation of America's Hospitals, AHA engaged Reden and Anders, Ltd. to gather data on this new, rapidly growing product type for which limited information currently exists. The purpose of the survey was to explore growth implications for providers and patients, including access to existing networks and rate structures, identify evolving trends in comparative cost and quality information and assess administrative features.

The book introduces "Cradle to Cradle®-Design" to the public. The English version itself is an example of a Cradle to Cradle®-product. Developed by innovative book packager Charles Melcher of Melcher Media, the book is a prototype of a "technical nutrient". It is printed and bound on "synthetic" paper made of plastic resins and inorganic fillers designed to be broken down and circulated infinitely in "technical cycles" - re-made into "paper" or other products.
"…A manifesto calling for a new industrial revolution, one that would render both traditional manufacturing and traditional environmentalism obsolete…It's a handbook for 21st-century innovation and should be required reading for business hotshots and environmental activists."
Therese Littleton, Amazon.com
"[A] clear, accessible manifesto...the authors' original concepts are an inspiring reminder that humans are capable to much more elegant environmental solutions than the ones we've settled for in the last half-century."
Publishers Weekly
"[McDonough and Braungart's] ideas are bold, imaginative, and deserving of serious attention."
Ben Ehrenreich, Mother Jones magazine
"A readable provocative treatise that 'gets outside the box' in a huge way. Timely and inspiring."
Kirkus Reviews
"…With this book, McDonough and Braungart open our eyes to the way to genuine sustainability by the study of nature and mimicking her ways. This is a groundbreaking book that should be the Bible for the Second Industrial Revolution."

Also, Eidos Montreal has state that Thief 4 will be a launch game for Xbox 3 and Playstation 4. There you go - the first confirmed launch game for those platforms. Reported by the UK branch of the Official Xbox Magazine. http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/w...-generational_current_and_next-gen_games.html http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/...tudio_in_embattled_Vancouver.php#.UPBl2-TfiHg http://www.ibtimes.com/thief-4-bein...ored-launch-xbox-720-and-playstation-4-report And now for some facts regarding next generation software development. A Ubisoft Montreal developer on Artificial Intelligence They were reportedly working on procedural Artificial Intelligence. Which is just Artificial Intelligence. But Yves Jacquier also said, regarding the current generation and A.I., "We're extremely limited in what we can do." That's due to the In-Order PowerPC 970s which predominate the current console market, and which also do graphics work. "a very small amount of memory and computation time". However, about the next-gen, he says: "We think that the next generation of consoles won't have these limits any more." I agree. http://www.shacknews.com/article/69172/ubisoft-procedural-ai-next-gen A Remedy (based in Finland) developer on the next-gen Oskari Häkkinen has reportedly said that the next gen is, "a quantum leap" ahead of the current generation of consoles. Apparently, there are other industry officials who said that the next-gen sees a massive increase in performance over the current. 6-18 times better performance then the current generation of consoles - although that's an ambiguous phrase. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/multim...onsoles_Quantum_Leap_Says_Game_Developer.html

Sinse I left the Sandoz sister, the wind cries Mary! Yes I am experianced! You know what I'm talkin' 'bout Eric! & Jimi.More experianced than I really needed.
good luck . The truth will come out, but the family has been ruined.
Make Hemp History; End prohibition NOW!
Hey, MV and AL, any updates on your situation? I hope you are both doing well and that your cases are being resolved to your satisfaction. Peace!
I even got the swat team called on me by one of my kids for waiting @ their place to bounce around one of their boyfriends who had been living with them for months and sponging off them and my money. That was a great night being told Mr. ------- you need to go back to you home, please. oh yEA It took me years to get over that one. oh and after this I subsidized their rent for a whole year if they would just get rid of him. Then one year to the day they moved out. lol I don't get it.
one has gone to the hospital twice in a year on OD's and the other just got off of h------n and has been on methadone for a year now.
I just couldn't take it anymore, all I do is MMJ I drink maybe a six pack every six months.
they broke my heart so I know how the little darlings can make life hell
my kids I used to talk to every day of their lives, not anymore we rarely speak, I told them I'm afraid to ask, it isn't that I don't care.
People keep asking about this so thought i would repost it at the end.
Things are going quite good for us and that little log cabin in the woods is in the not-to-distant-future now!
Things are back to normal again. Kids are still brats and the one that got us into this whole mess just turned 18, bucked out of states custody and on her own! so I am sure she will have it figured out by the time shes 40! FOR REAL! I wish her all the luck but she is not welcome to my home.
Take care everyone and thank you for writing in.
Sending you and the family all my love and positive energy through the Universe.

MV & AL I am sorry that this happened to your wonderful family.
You both sure are loving parents who won't let a hormonal teenager run wild and that's responsible parenting. The lines of who is the parent and who is the child have been completely blurred by laws allowing children the soapbox to punish and incarcerrate their parents. We never would have dreamed of such heresy, especially against our own father or mother no matter how angry.
I am going thru the same thing my X wife used my 16yr old daughter to get me Busted
It made me sad to read another unjustifiable prosecution! Keep your chin up! You can come out great in the end! It has been known to happen!
is there an update now? i just read this and ouch! but i was glad to read the end. i hope everything got back to ya. scares me that they would do this to a mmj patient. never give up the fight
hi guys, a bit late to the party here, but just as shocked as the day you wrote this thread.
i had trouble with a teenage step son, who ripped our family apart because i was too strict (he felt it was acceptable to insult and threaten his mom when she disciplined him, but i wouldnt take his crap) spent years trying to get social services out of our lives.
I doubt it means anything at all as its highly unviable, but should your choices ever include running, (i would have run if ever i though i would lose my kids) im sure i could provide shelter in the UK for you to plan a life rebuild.
like i say, i dont expect it to amount to anything, but the offer is sincere. its about the only thing i could offer atm to my 420 bretheren.
edit: oops, trust me to read this after posting (i kinda cheated and went straight to the reply box)
glad it worked out as that is what matters, all else in life is pretty meaningless except the connections we make.The best part is I have my husband at home again and we can get on with our lives
I died a little inside after reading this shit. I wish you the best luck in the world, I seriously do.

Hey Alaska lady! How you & MV doin? Hope ya get this. Have him PM me here or at Da Garden. I gotta thing I need to share with him.
I nearly had the same kinda disaster this last week before the 4th of July. My son's wife threatened to turn me in, but I countered with elder abuse on them. I did end up pullin a LOT of plants, really wrecked my winter stash. My state just turned + for MMJ so I am going legal now. That way no one can use my grow as a threat/weapon against me.
All I did was ask for some help wid da bills since they were staying at my house. And they went nuts! It was horrible the way they treated me. Cussed me & threatened physical violence. Son broke stuff, put a can of vegs through a wall...it was awful! Any way, they moved out the Fri. before the 4th. I think every thing is cool now. But the damage to my garden is done. Still have a few plants left, but not as many as I needed to get by this winter & not have to grow inside to save elect. Elect rates in my state went through the roof!
Funny. My son smokes like a chimney.
So I know what ya went through in 2010. I just went through a similar thing in July of '12.
Here is wishing EVERY gardener a great harvey & real sticky fingers!
Sinse I left the Sandoz sister, the wind cries Mary! Yes I am experianced! You know what I'm talkin' 'bout Eric! & Jimi.More experianced than I really needed.
wow just found this thread sorry to hear from your woes and i hope your family is all back together and happy again like before the bullies in blue(or black) robbed you all of your dignity freedom and faith in our world.
My 15 year old brother has turned my parents in 3x now over alleged violence which was all bullshit and over not allowing his 22 year old girl friend to move into the house. Hes adopted but still thats really fucked up!
Can't trust teenagers anymore.
God bless you and your family
I fear this from my teenage brother i care for... Gives me chills... Praying everything works out fpr the best!
Old thread ya but sounds like you tried to control your kid the wrong way and it blew up in yo face....its a person not a possession...sorry but this is my 2 cents

Let it Snow...
It would appear that Denver's Mayor is AWESOME.
Hmmm... it looks like the storm that closed down every airport, and the entire government of Colorado isn't THAT bad, or at least it doesn't look that bad.

According to Mom, they won't be able to leave the house for about two days. The street in front of their house won't get plowed til then, and in the meantime the cars are just big snowy mounds in the snow-filled driveway. I told her to take pictures so we can see what THAT looks like.

When Republicans debate with Democrats about how government can do this or that better, we've already lost. While there are many worldviews, politically, it comes down to two. One group believes that politicians somehow have more wisdom than the American people; the average person is simply not smart enough to make their own basic decisions. They further believe that not only is the government responsible for basic protections, but it also grants all rights to citizens as well. They believe we should be "managed" by government to do certain things for the betterment of society.
Some will say that they come at this view from a truly well-meaning perspective. They truly want to help and protect. Some will say that their motives are far more sinister. They realize that by controlling people, they have power. When they gather power, they can make the world what they want. Honestly, I vacillate between thinking they are sinister and they are well meaning. Either way, it is a destructive view. These people want to nudge citizens through taxation, regulations and entitlements to lose confidence in themselves and turn to government to solve all problems. In short, they want to socially engineer our lives. They package this all in the cloak of helping…helping the middle class or helping this victim or that victim.
I don't see the world in Democrat verses Republican terms. (I used to see it that way.) No, when I think politically, I see the world in Conservative verses Progressive terms. My world view is far different than what I described above. I believe like our founders that our rights come not from governments but from God. I further believe that when governments start trying to improve our lives or grant us rights, they can only do that by infringing on the unalienable rights granted by God.
Progressives clearly have a world view that is antithetical to that of the founders. Most Democrats, and sadly far too many Republicans, fall into that camp. So, how do you know someone's true world view? I don't profess to have all the answers. In fact, I used to put a lot more trust in politicians I thought were like me. The only test I know how to apply is when a problem arises, does a politician immediately think of a Washington (or Des Moines) based solution? Or, do they trust the American people enough to stay out of the way? Now clearly I am not talking about those duties the people have expressly authorized to government through the Constitution. The government has a role in preserving the unalienable rights outlined in the Declaration of Independence. The problem is, virtually anytime the federal government moves beyond its duties as outlined in the Constitution, they violate my or someone's unalienable rights.
The problem with the government granting rights is that they can take them away. They are in control. Often times, when "our guy" or "our gal" is in charge, we look the other way when they violate someone's rights because the rights being violated don't affect me, or I even think it will make the world a better place. We then open the door for everyone's rights to be violated. When we do that, we lose our soul as a country. Most of us hate smoking. In fact, before the smoking ban in restaurants, I'd go out of my way to frequent a private establishment that did not allow smoking. But, I detest the government telling a private establishment they are required to ban smoking.
I argue with a friend about the hoax of global warming. Several months ago, I made the point that a study indicated dogs have a bigger carbon footprint than an SUV. I joked that soon they will be coming for his dog! I found it funny that he very strongly said, "That is where I'd draw the line." The problem is that if we don't draw the line at freedoms we don't personally care about, eventually we'll lose those freedoms that matter most to us. A short quote by Martin Niemöller sums it up best.
In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up.
So, to come full circle, on most things the federal government is involved in, when we proclaim the Republican government solution is superior to the Democrat government solution, we've lost. We've been doing too much of that for the last 100 years. As we've been dutifully fighting the battle, we've lost sight of the war. I often use a football analogy. The reality is the Progressives have been driving the ball for nearly 100 years since they installed the federal income tax. They've used it and other laws to slowly eat away at our liberties to the point that more than half of us are net dependent upon the federal government. They are on the one yard line and about to score. I believe the Republicans will hold the line this year. I pray to God that they will loudly and proudly fight the war of world views instead of simply fighting the battles. The Progressives will let us win a few battles, but the war is ultimately what matters most.
On another topic, I want to be clear for the record. Last week's story had nothing to do with my race with Mariannette Miller-Meeks. While I think of her often, she was not on my mind when I wrote the article. I want to further say that I publicly and privately support MMM and have both spoken on her behalf and donated to her campaign. Let this comment put to rest any lingering doubts about my desire to see my friend Mariannette defeat the far left congressman, Dave Loebsack.
