Mitt Romney criticizes President Obama for saying a person's success is rooted in his community and is not all his alone. Romney belittles this with his belief in individual initiative. He is better at the put-down than the push-up.
No, despite his claims, Romney is not a uniter, because in his heart he sees himself as the achiever who reached the top of the tree on his own. When the president said we are all in this together, he meant we depend on each other. Mitt talks down. He puts "I won" over "we won." He is sincerely smug.
It is a question of how one sees the big picture; in a self-centered way or broadly. Mitt wants encouragement and recognition for individual achievement. Little Jack Horner put in his thumb and pulled out a plum: "Oh what a good boy am I!" That's how little boys think, even though he had not put the plums in nor baked the pie.
Mr. Obama knows that in communities we help each other. He also knows that "each other" is the two-way street of mutual support and inter-dependent effort. He is a uniter, not the divider Mitt called him. Mitt is not a man of the people.
He sets himself above others as a self-made and a self-defined success. This is elitist and divisive. The less successful are diminished as less deserving and are responsible for their own situations.
Are we our brother's keepers? We say we believe in brotherhood. But the emphasis of Romney and Paul Ryan is the conservative one. Ryan's budgets speak his philosophy. They cut back most social programs.
Together they think that efforts to promote equity and fairness get in the way of just allowing the cream to rise to the top. For them, the homogenization of a level playing field is like diluting opportunity. They favor a hands-off freedom to foster individual initiative without regulation, and individual achievement is supposed to follow.
They credit individual initiative as the main source and support of success. For them, that means more economic growth, however how ill-distributed are the rewards. Hence comes the false dictum that appropriately high taxes on the high incomes of the rich will hurt small businesses by discouraging "job creators." Also the myth that a booming stock market is good news for all of us. It is not, for its benefits go mainly to the already well-off.
Both Romney and Ryan disparage the dependency of the poor, as though it has been chosen out of weakness. In effect, they are blaming the poor for their own disadvantage.
This seems to free Republicans from supporting social safety nets as enabling. They are inclined to ally government with the well-to-do. They would cut taxes on the wealthy, for example, even at the expense of social supports for working people.
For them, social dependency is a chosen affliction, aided and abetted by social programs. That is an ideology of social division, a kind of self-fulfilling prophesy that deadens the perception of opportunity for those who are near the bottom.
But it also wipes clear the conscience of the well-to-do. They can take credit for themselves while disavowing responsibility for the inequity they build into our society, and worse yet, built into the world.
Half the world starves, suffers, is stymied and helpless in disarray and deprivation. There is plenty of food for all, but all do not get a seat at the table.
Some of us are deliberately corrupt, selfishly stealing and hoarding. And some of us are essentially indifferent, seeing starvation as something that is unfortunate, but over there somewhere else, beyond our purview _ just a moment of ugly news on the TV.
The issue of human suffering is seldom presented in a humanistic way. Most of us feel no pain, and we pay little heed to those of us who do. Republicans tell us that taxes and social programs both have to be cut, because they make government too big.
Overall, we are always reminded that people are supposed to look after their own needs. Individuals are responsible for themselves despite swimming in strong international currents beyond any one person's control. The message is not to worry about those irresponsible people, their problems are their own fault.
Freedom is defined in terms of having no restrictive regulations to hamper profit-taking. The resulting progress is supposed to filter down to those at the bottom.
Perhaps the filter has become clogged.

As the time to vote draws near, we need to remember how money can run politics more than we can. Raising funds is a prominent (if not the dominant) task of getting elected. Raising issues is also crucial, but those efforts are subject to distortion and fear-mongering.
Republicans feelentitled to allthey can garner
An entitlement is a legal benefit available from the government to individuals who are within a defined category of recipients, such as needing insurance for unemployment or health services.
Romney focuses on self; Obama emphasizes unity
Mitt Romney criticizes President Obama for saying a person's success is rooted in his community, and is not all his alone. Romney belittles this with his belief in individual initiative. He is better at the put-down than the push-up.
Romney shows little regard for common man
The Republicans in Congress have voted over and over, 33 times, redundantly and uselessly, to rescind what they call Obamacare.
Scouts' gay ban creates problem where none exists
The Boy Scouts of America's "emphatic reaffirmation" of its vow to exclude any and all homosexuals from its hallowed ranks is ill-considered and pathetic, especially in view of its having reviewed the matter for two years.
Health care should be seen as way to help others
What is health care? Well, first and foremost it is having care, or empathy, for the distress of others. Health care is extending efforts to alleviate the distress for a person who is ill. The opposite, if you think about it, would be torture — using the power to harm to win your own way.
Romney sees his way as the right way
Meet Mitt Romney, seeking the power of the presidency. He seeks to convince us that his conservative economic theories will save us from ourselves.
Congressional candidate offers sound solutions
Mitt Romney has clinched the Republican nomination for president. If he can lick Barack, he will be the president of all of us. He must be taken seriously, but for me, up to now, he has been like a big bell being hit with a cooking spoon.
It's refreshing to hear our president dismiss prejudice
Race and sexual identity both sponsor problems of social discomfort. Abstractly, such traits are fixed, but in life they are roads on the map of our cultural values, which change.
Time for lawmakers who put needs of society first
Richard Lugar, after six terms as a Republican senator -- known for his middle of the road rationality and his foreign policy finesse -- has been ousted by a Tea Party extremist backed by outside right-wing funding.
War not worth gambling with lives of soldiers
Are you not tired of our war in Afghanistan? It had a point, once, after 9/11. Bush couldn't distinguish his myopic personal agendas from the nation's needs and let Osama escape, dropping the ball entirely, causing many deaths.
Titanic was a microcosm of U.S. economic disparity
Haunting reminders of the Titanic tragedy have wafted over us with the centenary of its sinking. The maiden voyage of an impressive, state of the art vessel, was a little like that of the Challenger space shuttle, at the cutting edge of developing technology. But the shuttle carried our pride in science and space exploration, not hundreds and hundreds of people.
William Masters: Nation stands divided between 'us' and 'them'
In February, Trayvon Martin was shot dead as "suspicious" by a volunteer neighborhood watch man. The case has aroused community reaction in Sanford, Fla., and is still echoing across the country.
A quarterback can't win the game alone
What is the relationship between democracy and wealth? Democracy is a political system, while wealth relates to economics. We have equal political rights, but we don't all have money. Extreme differences destroy the continuity of community solidarity.
Playing Left Field: Some blur lines between laws of church and state
We have freedom of religion in this country. A clear separation between churches and governmental agencies is constitutionally mandated. Government power may not favor or advance a particular religion.
Humans need to look at long-term impact on Earth
Global warming is real and we are smugly oblivious. I recall the USS Nautilus making a journey to the North Pole decades ago, and poking its conning tower dramatically up through the ice right at the pole itself, an arrival theretofore possible only by dog sled and arduous effort.
Playing Left Field: Meaning of 'liberty' lost in GOP's translation
COLUMN BY WILLIAM MASTERS .... Now, during the Republican presidential primaries, we hear a lot about liberty. It is a leave-me-alone type of liberty, suggesting the license to do what one may choose in the sacred call of business activity. Much is sought in the name of freedom.
Government no longer about power of people
In my time, the idea of conservatism has been turned upside down. Men in my family wore neckties even when just reading the paper at home.
Americans should respect right to bear arms
Early one morning a while back, I answered a phone call from Wayne LaPierre, head of the NRA, warning that the sky is falling _ no worse: that the U.S. is participating in a U.N. treaty effort to deal with the irresponsible international transfers of small arms.
Inequalities breed social dysfunction
In my most-recent column, I presented recent epidemiological evidence that the inequality built into a society underlies the sense many of us have that the country is going in the wrong direction.

Vermont And Other States Win Lawsuit Challenging Nuclear Regulatory Commission Rules On Storage Of Spent Nuclear Fuel
CONTACT: William H. Sorrell, Assistant Attorney General, (802) 828-3173
June 8, 2012
Attorney General William Sorrell announced today that the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit has issued a major ruling vacating two decisions by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regarding the storage of spent nuclear fuel. The court held that the NRC's "Temporary Storage Rule" and its accompanying "Waste Confidence Decision Update" were issued without the legally required full evaluation of environmental risks associated with long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel at reactor sites.
Vermont was a party to this lawsuit, which was led by the New York Attorney General's Office. "New York did a great job leading the litigation team, and I applaud their work on this case," said Attorney General William Sorrell. In addition to Vermont, the states of Connecticut and New Jersey joined the lawsuit, as did the Prairie Island Indian Community, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, Riverkeeper, Inc., and the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy. The NRC had support from intervenors Entergy Nuclear Operations, Inc. and the Nuclear Energy Institute, Inc. "This outcome illustrates how important it is for states to work together on environmental matters of national importance," said Attorney General Sorrell.
"Today's decision is a major victory for New York, Vermont, and all other states that host nuclear power plants," said Attorney General Sorrell. "The court confirmed what Vermont and other states have said for many years now—that the NRC has a duty to inform the public about the environmental effects of long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel, particularly when it is occurring at nuclear power plants that were never designed to be long-term storage facilities," Sorrell continued.
In the rules that the court vacated, the NRC had claimed that there would be "no significant impact" on the environment from allowing spent nuclear fuel to be stored onsite at power plants such as the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station for as long as 60 years after the plants cease operating. The NRC rules had asserted that an environmental analysis was unnecessary because the NRC was confident that spent nuclear fuel could be stored safely at Vermont Yankee until 2072 (60 years from the end of the original license), or, upon relicensing, until 2092. Those rules have now been vacated.
The court's decision noted that long-term onsite storage of spent nuclear fuel was "optimistically labeled 'temporary storage'" even though it "has been used for decades longer than originally anticipated." The court further noted that the "lack of progress on a permanent repository has caused considerable uncertainty regarding the environmental effects" of onsite storage and also called into question "the reasonableness of continuing to license and relicense nuclear reactors." The court held that the NRC "can and must assess the potential environmental effects" of the federal government's failure to secure a long-term permanent storage facility.

To have easily recyclable products, it should not cost much and not require too many manual operations when recycling. In other words, the easily recyclable products are considered how they will be recycled after use from the very first stage of designing.
For example, more than twice as many screws and parts were used for older model TVs than for recent models. The more complicated the product, and the more parts used in it, the more time it takes to dismantle it. Also, it takes lots of time to sort materials because there are too many kinds of materials used.
Comparing CRT TVs that were produced in 1983 to those produced in 2003, the ones produced in 2003 have fewer parts and kinds of materials. Moreover, they are sturdy and long-lasting. Also, they are designed to be more rapidly and precisely recycled than the older models.
Time required for disassembling a relatively new flat-panel TV has been significantly reduced, compared with the time it required when it was launched.
PETEC undertakes a "dismantling demonstration" to design products that are easy to recycle. A dismantling demonstration involves inviting product development engineers of Panasonic and its group subsidiaries to PETEC and providing them with the experience of working on the recycling lines to appreciate the difficulty of the dismantling operations. "Seeing is believing." It is important that engineers experience the difficulty, not only hear it from PETEC.
Through these steady activities, R&D engineers start to change their attitude toward recycling. They take back the experience of the activities to their work place and apply the feedback directly to product development. PETEC's recycling is based on the concept of "from products to products." It is why the knowledge and experience of PETEC is shared within Panasonic and its group subsidiaries, and PETEC would like to make active use of this shared knowledge in production.
Efforts to realize zero-waste recycling have already begun before a new product is even built.

Thought it might be fun to have a little thread predicting when some of the future stars of the Braves organization will make their big league debut, what role that debut will be in, and even how they will fare (statistics-wise) in that debut if you want to go that far. It might be cool to dig this up in a while to see who was the closest on which prospects. I'm just bored, and thought this was more fun than the rosterbation threads. I also am a bit curious as to what the general sentiment on TC is for the ETA on some of our prospects. But if this still falls under the umbrella of rosterbation then by all means go ahead and take it down. I'm guessing these predictions will spark debate - so I'm going to save posting mine until it has gotten underway as to not get immediately flamed/influence opinion (not that I could, but still).
I was thinking a format along the lines of:
Full Name - Date of Debut (doesn't have to be exact) - Position - Stats
I say 'position' as some of our pitching prospects might make their debut as relievers rather than starters, and obviously some of our prospects have the ability to play several different positions. If you think their debut will come as a PH you can throw that in as well if you want. If you're bold enough to post their stats for their debut season feel free.
This is open to any and all prospects you want. Fire away.
EDITED to remove my idiot mistake

Vermont might be best known for its scenic landscapes and outdoors adventures, but it is also a state known for its rich history. The Green Mountain State has some fabulous historic stays for visitors to call home during their vacations; here are some of our favorites:
Castle Hill Resort and Spa offers old-world charm that is all about the details -- from the historic wood-paneled walls to the library filled with old books. There are just 10 quaint rooms here, offering antique touches like Tiffany lamps, claw foot tubs, and brick fireplaces. While the vibe is definitely historic, there are also modern amenities on offer including free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. The outdoor spaces here are equally as special, including lush gardens, ivy-covered stone walls, and a heated pool.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling last week, Republicans on Capitol Hill spent four days laying out an attack on President Obama's health care law as a massive tax increase.
On Monday, Mitt Romney's top campaign strategist undercut them.
Eric Fehrnstrom said Mr. Romney agrees with Mr. Obama that the law's punishment for flouting the individual mandate and not buying health insurance is a "penalty," not a tax — just like the legislation Mr. Romney signed as governor of Massachusetts.
"The governor has consistently described the mandate in Massachusetts as a penalty," Mr. Fehrnstrom said on MSNBC. "The governor disagreed with the ruling of the court; he agreed with the dissent that was written by Justice [Antonin] Scalia, which clearly states the mandate was not a tax."
After watching the court reject their legal arguments, congressional Republicans settled for what they hoped would be a powerful political attack, bolstered by the court's declaration that the individual mandate amounted to a tax. The court's conclusion contradicted Mr. Obama, who during the debate in 2009 and 2010 had repeatedly said it wasn't a tax.
"The court has now spoken. It is a tax," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, said in the aftermath of the ruling.
He said the justices "blew the president's cover."
The National Republican Congressional Committee began issuing press releases using the court-approved tax argument to attack Democrats.
After Mr. Fehrnstrom's comments Monday, however, activists said they had been undercut.
"We did not like Obamacare to start with and now that the Supreme Court has called it a tax, it gave Romney the room to run straight for a touchdown," Tea Party Nation founder Judson Phillips wrote on the group's blog. "What kind of idiots are running the Romney campaign? Instead of spiking the football and winning, the Romney campaign has just turned over the ball."
He wondered whether it was too late for the GOP to have a brokered convention and replace Mr. Romney as its presidential nominee.
"One — it was a stupid thing to say," said Ben Marchi, former director of the Virginia chapter of the anti-tax group Americans for Prosperity. "At the end of the day, whether you call it a tax or a fee, it means more money out of working Americans' pockets in tough economic times. People who don't have jobs right now don't care whether you call it a tax or a fee."
Still, he hoped conservatives would rally to Mr. Romney anyway.
"Conservatives don't trust him because he's the author of Romneycare. Conservatives trust him because he's pledged to repeal Obamacare," Mr. Marchi said.
Mr. McConnell's office didn't address the conflicting Republican messages, choosing instead to focus on an area where the Senate minority leader agreed with Mr. Romney: "The Supreme Court should have ruled Obamacare unconstitutional," a spokesman said.
Mr. Romney signed a health law in Massachusetts that included a mandate, similar to the Obama reforms, requiring everyone to buy insurance — and imposing a fine on those who didn't. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg even cited Mr. Romney's law as backing for the national law in her concurring opinion last week.
But Mr. Romney has vowed to repeal the federal law, saying it goes beyond the powers of the federal government and saying states should be left to experiment.
At this point Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama agree that the mandate is not a tax — putting them in opposition to congressional Republicans. But Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama disagree over whether the law is constitutional.
Mr. Romney won backing from some GOP quarters. Virginia Attorney General Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II, who filed one of the key lawsuits against the national health care law, told The Washington Times that Mr. Romney is correct to argue that the penalty isn't a tax.
"They upheld the law by expanding any known definition of the taxing power very dramatically," Mr. Cuccinelli said. "For those who want to deny it's a tax, then they have to essentially concede that it's unconstitutional under any other power."View Entire Story

Youve heard the age-old adage: Couples who play together, stay together. Like other pearls of ancient wisdom, its true. Partners who regularly engage in mutually enjoyable activities are more likely to have strong, loving relationships and are less apt to serve each other divorce papers.
In fact, common interests act as a kind of barometer for a relationships state of health The more joint activities partners can cite, the more vital the bond is between them.
Its easy to see why this is so. Spouses with common interests spend hours together. They feel happy in each others presence. They have plenty to discuss at the dinner table. They develop a social network of like-minded friends. They have fun planning, doing and rehashing events theyve shared. They fill a psychic treasure chest with communal memories
Joint activities also serve as an emotional adhesive that binds couples together during their inevitable rough patches. A wife may think, Im not happy with you at the moment. But we always have a great time when were with friends at our cabin. I know my frustration will pass.
When it comes to common interests, you just cant have enough. Sure, one shared hobby is better than nothing. But multiple activities are better yet.
Common interests are as varied as the folks who enjoy them. Some couples seek adventure. Others like plein air painting or foreign films. Still others love doing volunteer work or going to spiritual retreats. Theres no right or wrong way to play together. The key is that both people are engaged.
Common interests also change over the course of arelationship. Activities that call out to 20-somethings may not be right for people who have had total hip replacements. Personal interests waver, too. A couple might enjoy breeding cocker spaniels for a number of years then move on to something else they havent tried.
Its also appropriate to approach one common interest from differing viewpoints. A husband might like skiing in the Rockies, while his less athletic wife enjoys spa treatments and shopping at the resort.
Having common interests doesnt mean youre joined at the hip. Theres room in a relationship to pursue hobbies on your own. Still, wise couples are forever on the lookout for things to do in tandem. They know this bit of age-old wisdom never goes out of style.
Tips for finding common interests with your mate
Do some soul searching. Ask yourselves, What brings us joy together? Sometimes the answer is obvious. Other times youll need to dig.
Make a list. On separate sheets of paper, write down what each of you might like to do. Then compare your ideas. You may be pleasantly surprised at how similar your visions are.
Hark back to your dating years. Recall what you did when you were first together. Those activities obviously appealed to you once before. Perhaps those early interests can be dusted off and shared again.
Try something new. Seek out activities that spark your interest that youve never tried before. Take bridge lessons at the adult school. Join a choir. Buy a travel trailer. You may discover a new passion. At the very least youll have given it a try.
Schedule time to play together. Dont let chronic overscheduling interfere with your relationship. Block out a chunk of time on your mutual calendars. Better yet, make a recurring date so that you always save time for each other.
Be creative. Sometimes no answer is obvious. You need to think outside the relational box. Perhaps you volunteer to build scenery while your wife performs in a community play. Or you offer to bring chili to your husbands softball picnic. Youll be involved in the action. Youll be working together as a team.
Have a good attitude. Whatever you do together, do it with a loving heart and a cooperative demeanor. If youre sullen and resentful, youve defeated the entire purpose. Decide that youll have fun with your partner, then put on your best smiling face. Theres so much resting on your mutual cooperation. Your marriage is at stake.

I've been making a version of this for years to serve with any curry-type dish. I use one cup of rice, 1 14 oz. can of lite coconut milk and 1/4 cup of water. Boil water and milk, add rice, reduce heat to simmer uncovered for 20-30 minutes until rice is tender and all liquid is absorbed. No salt because usually the main dish has enough. I love it!
With some minor alterations, this recipe is fabulous. Because I'm the only one who eats this at my house, I cut the recipe in fourths. Here's what I did: 1 can (14 oz) of coconut milk 3/4 cup of Basmati rice 1 pinch salt 3 heaping tbls of sugar The rice almost soft once the rice absorbed all the coconut milk. Next time, I'd cut my rice down to 2/3 cup. Jasmine rice might work well also since it's a sweet rice. My brother introduced me to Coconut Rice when he brought home dessert leftovers from Sawatdee. They add a slice of mango to top it off. YUM!
Taylor Henry
Very easy and very tasty. I couldn't find coconut milk so I used the can of the cream of coconut that I found in the juice isle. It came out great. I used 1 can (15 oz.) with 6 servings of rice. Any white rice can be used with this recipe. Great, and VERY easy.

Kim Kardashian's divorce from Kris Humphries has lasted longer than her 72-day marriage. And with each passing day, Kimmy K is looking worse and worse. So, you would expect Kim to be trying her best to sculpt her image in a positive light. Unfortunately for the reality star, it doesn't seem her recent activities have shown her in a positive light. In fact, Kris is the one left smelling like roses.
Kardashian's most recent jab at Humphries may have caused her a laugh but ultimately cost her a few image points. When the reality diva heard the HOT 97 radio station bashing her estranged husband, she expressed her support by tweeted, "Was listening to Hot 97 this morning! Thanks for the shot out lol! I love those guys!!!"
As if Kim Kardashian wasn't constantly doing damage control, she now has to deal with people thinking she's spiteful and mean. Kardashian's jab ended up looking more like a kick while Kris Humphries was down or a punch below the belt. The brunette's life has moved right along with the public coming along for the ride but Humphries seems stuck in limbo. It really isn't a good look for Kardashian to be bashing her (already pitiful) ex so just lay off Kimmy!

The National Fire Protection Association recommends that homeowners have their chimney inspected at least once a year.
E & E Chimney Sweeps offers a full portfolio of chimney services. Whether it's woodstoves, fireplaces or chimneys, we understand the intricacies of the venting systems in your home. And we're equipped to address all of your maintenance and safety needs.
Some so-called chimney sweeps' only qualifications are a few brushes, a vacuum, and a ladder. You don't want those amateurs working on your home, and you definitely don't want your family's safety in their untrained hands. You can rest assured that E & E Chimney Sweeps will send expert team to your home. We don't hire novices and we don't use subcontractors.
Click here to learn about E & E Chimney Sweeps' numerous industry certifications and credentials.
Chimney Inspections & Sweeping
Our CSIA Certified Chimney Sweeps use state-of-the-art equipment to inspect and sweep chimneys of all kinds, including oil-, wood-, and gas-burning chimneys. While sweeping your system, we ensure that it's in working order. We look for any problems that could prevent peak performance and recommend what is needed for your system to burn cleanly and safely. Our Chim-Scan system, complete with a lighted camera and video monitor, lets us look at every inch inside your chimney.
Waterproofing/Repair & Restoration
We offer the full range of repairs to chimney systems, big and small—from repairing leaky flashing to tuckpointing and masonry repair to relining the flue and chimney rebuilding.
Rebuild Fireplaces
Water damage resulting from a missing chimney cap is all too common. We remedy this situation by reconstructing the back walls of fireplaces, returning them to their original pristine condition.
Rebuild Crowns
Improperly built crowns are another common problem. If yours is cracked or poorly constructed—allowing water penetration or posing a fire hazard—we'll build a proper concrete one that's guaranteed not to crack.
Install Chimney Caps
The best way to prevent moisture from rain and snow, animals, leaves, and other debris from entering your chimney is to install a chimney cap. Our high-quality stainless steel caps carry a lifetime warranty.
Replace Chase Tops
Leaky or damaged chase tops, and those made of masonry, are potential hazards on prefabricated metal fireplaces. We help eliminate problems before they start by replacing masonry and rusty metal chase tops.
Water Leak & Condensation Resolution & Repair
If water is damaging your fireplace inside or out, we'll find and fix it—no matter the source.

Simone Danlustrous Wins 2013 Miss Nude Midwest Contest – See The Photos From The Finals
Schofield, WI- Tony Batman's A Entertainment News- The Miss Nude Midwest & Miss Nude Wisconsin Contests took place this past weekend at the Grand Daddy's Gentlemens Club in Schofield Wisconsin and the show was a huge success. The dozen of so beautiful Exotic Dancers and Feature Entertainers that competed all did an awesome job on the stage all weekend long and after all the scored were tabulated, we had two winners. The sexy and talented Simone Danalustrous was crowned the 2013 Miss Nude Midwest and the beautiful newcomer Jaymi Love was crowned the 2013 Miss Nude Wisconsin.
(SEE photos from Night #1 here, SEE photos from Night #2 here)
The entire time we were there at the Grand Daddy's Gentlemens Club we were treated to spectacular stage shows, incredible hospitality, and a down right good time. Nikki Morrell, Jerry Morrell, and Manager Dan all did EVERYTHING that needed to be done to host a successful exotic dance competition. Every single person that came out for the show over the weekend had a great time, even the contestants.
Several club owners and General Managers stopped by the Grand Daddy's Gentlemens Club over the three nights the event was going on and we got nothing but positive feedback from all of them. Brian Hopkins and the Skindustry Contests crew came out, and were able to see some of the new girls shows for the first time, ( newcomer Phoenixx Phires even got an invite to the invitation only, Grand Prix of Exotic Dance Competition that will take place June 20-22 at the OTB Club in Milwaukee).
We have hosted this contest for several years now and every year for Finals Weekend there is a group of judges that all work around the country, but call North Wisconsin home, they also are a CLAN of guys that are proud to wear their kilts to the show every year. During the last contest, they promised that if we hosted the the show again next time, they would bring us a kilt to wear on stage, and we jokingly agreed. Well this was the year that this promise came true as we hosted Saturday nights finals as part of the CLAN and wearing the traditional kilt, in the traditional way, "Free Balling" ….. What a fun night it was!!!
Thank you to all the great people at the Grand Daddy's Gentlemens club and all the awesome entertainers that came out to compete, you made this show a complete success and we applaud you.
We would like you to check out some fun photos from the Final night of the Miss Nude Midwest & Miss Nude Wisconsin contest, that were taken by our Midwest photographer Ricky Rich, also of StripperCheese.com

Skooter reporting 11/03/11
Mariah Yeater, the woman who claimed that Justin Biever fathered her baby when he was 16 years old, a tabloid magazine said.
On the cover of Star magazine shows a photo Mariah Yeater and the photo of the child she says is Bieber's..
On October 31, Yeater, 20, filed complaint in the court claiming that Bieber is the biological father of her three-month-old child Tristyn Anthony Markhouse Yeater, born July 6, and she is asking for a paternity test and financial support.
The woman could also be opening her up to a possible statutory-rape probe, however, as Bieber would have been 16 when the asserted incident happened.
Through Bieber's representatives, they had denied the allegations.

Design/methodology/approach – Upon completing a review of the literature, scale development is completed in five phases. The first two phases focus on item generation and qualitative validation. The third phase (quantitative pilot testing) involves a sample of 220 logistics managers in Germany. The fourth phase replicates these findings with a sample of 250 US logistics managers. The final phase differentiates the general scale tested and replicated in the previous two phases by assessing the merit of cost- and service-focused scales adapted from the general scale among a separate sample of 298 logistics managers in Germany.
Findings – After eliminating one measurement item, the German and US samples provide support for a four-item scale to measure general proactive improvement. Subsequent analysis with a separate sample finds strong support for scales that are adapted to capture the distinct aspects of cost- and service-focused improvement.
Research limitations/implications – Research indicates that one of the key differentiators in the success of logistics outsourcing relationships is the service provider's ability to achieve proactive improvement, or customer-oriented
Practical implications – Future research using the established scales should help provide practitioners with a better understanding of the value and nature of proactive improvement in logistics outsourcing relationships.
Originality/value – The paper employs a thorough multi-phase/multi-sample approach across two distinct countries to devise a scale for an important construct in logistics outsourcing research.

Enter one of the first rooms on this ghoulish garage tour, and a skeleton jumps out of a shipping crate, a red light glows and scary dogs bark and growl.
That's just one of the automated effects set up for Halloween in this three-car garage in a suburb of Seattle. Every October for the past three years, the Griffin and Petrie families have converted their garage into a haunted house—with the shock, scare and awe delivered by a Control4 HC-300 processor.
Brett Griffin, who sells Control4 systems for local custom integration firm Definitive Audio, rigged the garage with motion sensors, relays and timers—all linked to the Control4 processor, which was programmed to enact a different frightening scene when each sensor is tripped.
In the final chamber, the journey ends in a particularly creepy way. A trigger starts an MP3 of a priest reciting "Our Father" over wall-mounted Control4 speakers. A young lady in a guillotine pleads for mercy … the lights go out … there's darkness … a brief moment of silence … the sound of the guillotine blade slices through the air … and a head thumps to the floor. It's automation at its scariest.
Check out the slides for bigger pictures of the scary show.
Bluetooth and integrated subwoofers make this Yamaha soundbar a nice package.

When a widespread skunk infestation effecting Chicago suburbs made national headlines, media outlets such as USA Today, NPR, the Chicago Sun-Times, and WLS 890AM with John and Lauren hailed ABC Humane Wildlife Control & Prevention as the front lines of humane defense. Since its founding by university-trained naturalist Garon Fyffe in 1976, the team of animal experts has deftly removed unwanted animals, pests, and birds from homes and businesses. Each of the 35 state-licensed wildlife control experts employs humane processes to sniff out pest problems and solve the underlying issues, such as gaps in the foundation, tree limbs offering easy roof access, or handbills lying around offering employment in return for cheese.
AnimalSense began in 1999 with a set mission to help dog owners live peacefully with their dogs, by using training methods backed by the steady hand of science. Classes only ever teach dog-friendly methods of positive reinforcement, a pleasant, pain-free experience for dog and owner alike. Class sizes are limited to allow for one-on-one instruction. The variety of classes available makes enrollment in the program sensible for beginners and previously trained dogs alike. Classes include options for dogs of mostly all temperaments, from a session for shy dogs, to Intro to Agility for fledgling performance hounds. This Groupon is not valid for special aggression classes such as Doggone Issues.
Poopie Palz sends fastidious cleaners to yards and dog runs to collect and remove dog waste year-round. Upon securing all waste within ecofriendly bags, they send a text message to homeowners letting them know it is once again safe to walk barefoot while watering hedges. In addition to picking up dog waste and removing it from properties, Poopie Palz offers dog-walking visits, which include water and food refills, as well as love and attention. They also visit cats, cleaning out litter boxes, refilling water and food, and calmly explaining the science behind laser pointers in flawless cat speak.
Land mines, poop piles, dog logs—no matter what the euphemism, Poop 911 allows families to circumvent one of the unappealing parts of dog ownership. It'll clear entire yards of dog waste, and even can apply repellent to deter pets from destroying a treasured flower bed or magic beanstalk. Other add-ons include raking leaves and dog walking.
When dogs need a break from burying bones, chasing mailmen, and playing professional basketball, Go Doggie Home Doggie provides overnight respite in airy single- and double-occupancy cottages. Owners can leave their dogs with all their personal effects from home—such as blankets, beds, and toys—to help them sleep soundly at night. During the day the pet-loving staff takes canines for refreshing walks and supervises their socializing during indoor play sessions, along with showering them with affectionate ear scratches. Meanwhile, at the onsite grooming-and-bathing salon, groomers treat dog care as an art form as revered as that of a cappella howling.
Go Doggie's facilities also include kitty condos—private boarding rooms where cats can sink their claws into scratching posts and philosophize about the virtues of shoeboxes as they gaze through ample windows. The premises are located a frisbee's throw away from O'Hare International Airport to enable speedy pickup and drop-off of furry comrades.

Frequency multipliers and mixers

Dec4-12, 11:29 AM
Greetings to all HF enthusiasts!
This is a first frequency multiplier, but beware I haven't tested it (and won't in a foreseeable future), so whether it improves over existing diagrams remains to be seen.
This diagram is to harvest an odd harmonic; connect the collectors together at one end of the coil to harvest an even harmonic.
A balanced mixer could be built similar to the multiplier, with the LO input between the input secondary's middle point and the ground; adding two PNP would make a doubly-balanced mixer. I doubt such a mixer has advantages over a diode bridge.
Unusually, the multiplier has bipolars in common base without a power supply. All power comes from the input signal.
Stability isn't guaranteed, as the input signal brings power to the circuit. Beware many recent bipolars accept only a common-emitter configuration. I'd take only the necessary Ft, and wouldn't put the output tuning capacitor near to the collectors.

My second frequency multiplier relies on the ability of either gate of a tetrode MOS to pinch the drain current, which here passes by zero twice in an input period. Beware again, I haven't tested this circuit. It is meant for even multiplication only; I expect a clean second harmonic and little else.
Because the two gates aren't identical, I've put two transistors in a symmetrical circuit to minimize the odd harmonics.
Injecting the signal in the upper gate isn't perfect for gain nor stability. A cascode would improve that, possibly shared by both tetrodes, using a bipolar if stable in common base, a single gate HF MOS if you find one, or a dual gate MOS. Bias as normally the second gate would be. Especially then, the multiplier would accept a small input power.
Feel free to add in each source a capacitor and a resistor, or much better, a precisely matched integrated current source. This is interesting with other diagrams as well.
Replace the MOS by MESFET, HEMT and other variants as you like.
Marc Schaefer, aka Enthalpy
Dec4-12, 11:37 AM
The second frequency multiplier would ideally use a matched double pentode component, still to be made, like on the diagram below.
The third gate would make the cascode without cabling penalty.
Two transistor on one chip would be matched by fabrication. Or even, have four transistors cabled internally in pairs in a cross pattern, as in op amps, if this improves further.
MESFET, HEMT and the like can improve over MOS.
Maybe these component and circuit will be used first as part of a more complex integrated circuit and be made available later just as a matched pair.
I have found no use whatsoever for a filament, alas.
Marc Schaefer, aka Enthalpy

Frequency multipliers and mixers
The same matched double pentode would make a nice mixer. Tetrode MOS are already excellent mixers, whose intermodulation is second to diode rings only, provide gain instead of loss hence noise, and need little LO power. A symmetric circuit can only improve intermodulation.
Whether the local oscillator best drives the gates 1 or 2 against intermodulation is unclear; against injection, gates 2 are better. Bias should also be optimised against intermodulation. Again, the sources may have a capacitor and a resistor or a current source.
Here also, MESFET, HEMT and the like can replace MOS. Low-capacitance outputs should be preserved, as the output signal is fast at some uses.
Marc Schaefer, aka Enthalpy
Dec4-12, 11:51 AM
An even more symmetric mixer circuit would be even better. Similar symmetry to the SO42 which calls itself "doubly balanced". It uses four matched transistors, preferably on a single chip which shall also hide the cabling mess from the user, see the diagram below...
Here also, MESFET, HEMT and the like can replace MOS. Low-capacitance outputs should be preserved, as the output signal is fast at some uses. The third gate saves some power from the local oscillator if the intermediate frequency doesn't differ much; its bias acts on intermodulation. Maybe the four transistors in cross pattern suffice to compensate all linear geometric gradients in the production process; cable 16 transistors on the chip if not. In any case, I wish that such a mixer component remain usable as a frequency multiplier as well.
Marc Schaefer, aka Enthalpy
Dec4-12, 07:01 PM
With valves as with Jfet, symmetric preamplifiers were built to improve linearity at receiver input. I don't understand the benefit, since this reduces only the even nonlinearity which isn't a big drawback at a preamplifier, where transmodulation results from odd distortion. In case I got it wrongly, the matched pair of multigate transistors would be usable as a preamplifier as well.
A high impedance shared by the sources of transistors working symmetrically reduces further the even nonlinearity. Multigate transistors are more stable here as well. The impedance can be a coil, a resistor, a current source if not capacitive... this latter being more likely if integrated in the same chip as the HF transistors.
This can be interesting for an odd frequency multiplier, and also for the doubly balanced mixer with four transistors sketched above (not for the two-transistors mixer), where all four sources can be tied together (possibly through capacitors) to share a common constant current, say from current source(s). It would linearize the circuit further, improving the intermodulation behaviour at the signal input.

Federal pickpockets at work
| Posted: Wednesday, Jan 09, 2013 06:00 am
I see the Harper government is reaching into our pockets again with a plethora of fee increases, although that information won't be found on the federal government website amidst all the propaganda that the conservatives are graciously extending standard tax deductions Canadians have enjoyed for years.
Harper's unemployment insurance rate increase is particularly galling considering it was he who, in 2009, with a cavalier stroke of a pen, wrote off $52 billion dollars of unemployment insurance surplus, a surplus that Canadian workers and their employers had paid in case there was ever a downturn in the economy. The reason being of course that the federal government had simply helped itself to the money and spent the surplus on other things.
To top it off, Harper's latest shenanigans are forcing EI claimants to take jobs outside their fields with up to a 30 per cent pay cut even if it means commuting an extra hour to work each day.
I don't know about you but I feel violated. I wish the guy would at least throw us a little kiss once in a while if he is going to keep this up.
Dave Burkhart, St. Albert

Dance music is music composed specifically to facilitate or accompany dancing. It can be either a whole musical piece or part of a larger musical arrangement. In terms of performance, the major categories are live dance music and recorded dance music. Dance music works often bear the name of the corresponding dance, e.g. waltzes, the tango, the bolero, the can-can, minuets, salsa, various kinds of jigs and the breakdown. Often it is difficult to know whether the name of the music came first or the name of the dance.

DeanO 300 in 30 YouTube Giveaway
Hello blogger friends,
Building "followers" or "subs" as were called on YouTube is much the same as it is here in the blogging world. I've seen many, many giveaways here in the blog world. The number one way to build subs in YouTube is to have a giveaway which I am having now; just watch my video. I have some really cool prizes so if you're interested, sub my YouTube Channel, (link at the bottom) and leave the comment instructed in the video. My runner up and Grand prize are really cool prize packages but they require that you are subd to my channel and you leave a Video Response otherwise known as a VR in YouTube. It seems that YouTube is making it more and more difficult for YouTube channels to make money. They continue to change the page format, the number of video's you can see on any one screen and they have done away with VR's so now you have to PM the YouTube Channel owner with the link to your video. Crazy, thanks a lot YouTube.
The second similarity in YouTube and Blog world is commenting. Leaving comments always seems to build our channel, especially if you're kind and honest.
The third similarity in YouTube and Blog world is following YouTube channels and "hoping" they will follow you back. You would be surprised just how many channels will not give you the time of day. Oh well, YouTube has been a journey and I keep my nose to the grindstone trying to build my channel.
Anyhow, you all remember the change after change we got here in blogger world and I'm sure it's changed a bunch in the year I've been absent.

Alive and well
Friends, thanks for all the well wishes and e-mails. I'm fine and healing quite well from my Open Heart Surgery. The reason I've spent so much time away from my blog is to work diligently on building my YouTube Channel and my Pinterest. It's amazing how much time one can pour into hobbies. Anyhow, long story short, DeanO has not abandoned his blog.
You know I posted on "The end of Miley Cyrus" back in June of 2010 and her VMA performance signals to me her downfall as a pop star. It's sad but she's a big girl now and capable of making good and bad decisions; as are all of us. Bad management, bad wardrobe, bad press who knows but her VMA performance was horrible. Anyhow, just a thought I've been mulling through my head.
Work is difficult but it's been a great deal better and enjoyable since the surgery. Work around the house never seems to end but we did have a new pool liner installed. This summer has been so wet that the weeds and grass have ceased to stop growing. I don't even weed anymore; I simply get out the weed eater and whack the weeds down then Round Up.
I've enjoyed getting back into Facebook. I found out my dear cousin, a colon cancer survivor has to go in for another surgery so please pray for her.
I see some of you on Facebook and other's on Pinterest. Please look me up on Facebook and friend me and I'll friend you back.
Well, just a quick update and I promise, I will get back into blogging when I'm happy with the direction of my YouTube channel.

Cat In The Hat...
"Three times now Kitten Little" "Really?" This past Saturday afternoon? Kitten Little went outside, when he did I do not know. I wouldn't ever let the runt kitty out in a severe storm but he was outside. About 3ish in the morning I woke up and was positive I heard him cry; I looked around but Kitten Little was no where to be found. I was up early Sunday morning, rain pouring down and I went looking for Simon. (Kitten Little is his nick name because he's a runt)
It didn't take long but I located Simon in a 60 - 70 foot tree and he was close to the top. He was barely able to cling to the tree limbs. This isn't a wide tree by any means. OK, I extended our ladder as far as it will extend safely. I tied the ladder off for my safety and investigated the situation. The tree was straight up, wet and slippery which is why he was clinging to the few little limbs he had found.
I tried my trick from the last cat rescue and anchored the kitty carrier to the top of the ladder with carpet and food. I spent the rest of the day trying to coax him down but zero luck. I knew he was going to end up spending the night in the rain so I took an 18 foot extendable pole an quickly built a 6 x 12 rest which I attached using a pipe fitting. I knew this was unsafe as the two threads were different but I needed to put as safe a cat perch in the tree as I could. I climbed the tree with my kitty perch, extended the pole to it's longest reach and anchored the perch 18 feet above the ladder. Seeing the perch and with a lot of coaxing the upset kitten shimmied down the tree and to the perch. This was a good sign to me because this is the natural way a cat climbs down a tree. Well, all I needed to do was coax the kitten down another 18 feet to the waiting cat carrier but this will have to happen tomorrow.
I got up about 3:00 a.m. Monday morning and went to check on Simon. He was cold, wet and upset. I decided to build another perch which I hoped he would climb down too getting him much closer to the cat carrier. I tried from 3:00 to 5:30 a.m. to coax the kitten down but the perch he was on was solid, it was raining and he wasn't budge. I had to get to work and the rescue would have to wait until 8:00 p.m. When I arrived home I checked in with my wife and went out to check on the cat. He was real upset but he was dry as it had been a nice day. It took a while but I was able to coax him down to the second perch but it was so flimsy he immediately climbed back up to the first perch. The rescue would have to wait until Tuesday morning; I went to bed.
Tuesday morning, 4:30 a.m. I worked with kitten trying to coax him down but no luck. The cat had now been in the tree since Saturday so I was beginning to worry about his health; he had no food or water now Since Saturday afternoon. I went to another 12 hour shift and had even designed in my head a platform I would build when I got home. To my horror, when I got home the first perch had broken and had fallen to the ground. I looked to the tree but no Kitten Little. I called out for him and heard a very faint cry. I began to look to the ground for what would be a very hurt cat but no luck. I called again and heard the faint cry again. I decided to climb the ladder and hoped to have a better vantage point for locating the cat. As I got closer to the cat carrier I began to hear a much louder cry and then I knew, Kitten Little had gotten into the carrier. The carrier, by the way, is at about a 75 degree angle as it was the only way I could wedge it and secure it to the tree. When I reached the cat carrier I was over-joyed to find Kitten Little safe but scared. I closed the door and lowered the scared kitten to my wife who took him inside. He's fine and hasn't left my side since Tuesday night.
I know it seems silly to most to attempt a dangerous rescue, certainly on a pet but I love my cats and I care for their safety and well being. Would Kitten Little had ever come down on is own? I don't know but I'm afraid there is a time we're going to find out. But, for now I'm glad he's safe and happy.
