Why Michael Barone is the best numbers guy in the media...
It is a must read. (unless you are a democrat-I think I'd prefer you not to read it).
An intersection of politics, free-market economics, foreign policy, sports, and whatever we feel like.
This is an excellent article in that it lies out exactly what most of speakers on the right have been saying. This could just as easily have been Rush, because I have heard these exact comments every day.
However, it is not as inspiring to me as it seems to be to Barone. I believe that what it shows more than anything is the political astuteness of Hillary. How many times has she attacked our Iraq policy? Have you heard a word from her on the Ten Commandments? No. Her is what she does next year. She gets the Sharptons, Kucinichs, Kerrys, and Gores and every liberal group she can find and says if you want to get a word in in the next four years you get on board.
While I agree that our party is more popular, and I think that will continue to show in the House and Senate, as of right now I see no one that espouses the values that the Party is supposed to depict. Giuliani, pro-gay, pro-choice, had extensive spending programs in New York. McCain(Kerry's VP), Frist?. This is not to say that no one can emerge, but as of right now it seems to me that Hillary is doing it right, and we are busy attacking each other and conceding too much to the left.
George Allen? I don't think it will be one of the candidates you mentioned above.
I will post more when I get some time
Well a big question is how overwhelmingly (if at all) would a Rudy or McCain bid appeal to the moderate electorate-maybe they lose some of the conservative votes (Rudy with the religious right and McCain with those he has pissed off) but would they make up for it so much from the middle that they would still blow away their opponent? Polling is showing pretty big leads for both agains Hillary.
I think the interesting point is that the Republicans can run someone further than the right (successfully) than the Democrats can to the left. Who was the most Conservative President of the last 50 years? RR-check out his vote totals.
I don't think there were any 'Johnson Republicans' or 'Carter Republicans'. Kind of an interesting thing to think about when consider what is the attitude of our country when it comes to ideology.
Which further begs the question, why don't we stand up for who we are and enact conservative principles in congress and presidency!?!
I still don't think it will be McCain.
Nathan, I have to correct you. On the first page or Barone's article he says that 25% of people who called themselves conservative voted for Carter.
I agree with Steven that we should be enacting Conservative principles. The biggest problems are that too many of the people we are electing are country club Republicans, these are Republican's who love their money but don't care about the Conservative principles. Problem two is that politicians think that people are too dumb. They think the average person doesn't understand this and in 1976 that was obviously true(as 25% of us voted for Carter) but with all the news sources now being upfront and truly representing the issues would allow us to make better choices.
All this talk about polling data and 2008. Does that make any sense when we use an electoral system where you can lose the popular vote and still win the Presidency (2000 anyone)?
As for the elections of 1964 and 1976... They were extraordinary elections. '64 was after JFK and LBJ stood up and said Jack would have wanted it this way. '76 was after Watergate and Ford was one of the weakest Presidents ever.
Yes, we need to enact more conservative principles. Look at government growth. Cut it out. I can't stand the intrusions into state and local issues. It sickens me for my tax dollars to go to build a 'bridge to nowhere' in Alaska... or to put in nice landscaping on the RR Memorial Highway in CA. The Gipper has to be rolling over in his grave when that was earmarked.

Drive Through Lessons
Nope. I'm not spelling it "Thru", because that's wrong.
But as one who works in the 'service industry' (in my arena, shorthand for Fast Food), and who operates this domestic anomaly (nope, they don't have them in other countries - don't know about Canada, though), I shall now take time to write out the established, thus far unwritten, and perhaps unknown (if you are 'that' person) code of etiquette for utilizing a drive-through service.
*As for a disclaimer - no, I'm not disgruntled. But this knowledge is important for you, dear consumer.
The Rules by Which to Play:
1. Overarching and foremost is the theme of personhood. On the other side of that speaker is a living, breathing, competent (we hope) human being, just like you. That person's job is to serve you with a smile (and a meal or some dry-cleaning or a receipt). Don't make it difficult for them.
2. Do not be on your cell phone. If the call is important enough that you may save someone's life by maintaining an open line, why are you pausing for a burger/latte/pressed shirt? Understand that the nod-smile-and-index-finger approach does not constitute civility or conversation. That's like trying to work on your overhand swing while having a chat with your spouse about the unbalanced checkbook. That could get ugly fast.
3. Your music and car stereo are not, in a general restaurant sense, enjoyable. One or two people at the window might groove along with you, but further indoors, patrons and employees are thinking the word, "Jerk."
4. If you are mostly illiterate, please do not attempt to hone your skills on the menu while three cars are behind you. They're paying as well, and the staff can help you decide what your wanting. Furthermore, if you've never been to the restaurant or business, come inside. Get acquainted. Have a sit-down. Aren't those beeps, voices, and mechanical hisses coming out of the speaker intriguing? Find out what they really come from. You wouldn't set up a bank account over the drive-through speaker, now would you?
5. If you, in the case of restaurants, are ordering for your private army, House of Commons, or Hillary Duff Fan Club, it is best, again, to come inside. It takes a long time to squeeze twenty-five different beverage combinations through that two-by-three foot hole in the wall.
6. If you are a difficult customer (you know who you are), tip in the clearly visible tip jar, or at least donate to the Ronald McDonald House plexi-glass box.
7. Take heart. The employee might enjoy the thirty seconds of the day when he/she gets to meet you. The smile might not be fake. Enjoy meeting them too.
8. SEE, The Golden Rule.
Aha! The smoke has finally cleared from my first attempt at making corn fritters. The first three were great (because I ate them). The remainder need some evangelism to convert to corn fritter status (and that's more my spiritual task than gift). I'll get you next time, Corn Fritters! Next time!

Dow Is a Loser; Exxon Off 1.4%
Stocks sank for a third straight day as investors confronted a drop in the euro and steep declines in commodity prices.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up 131.46 points, or 1.10%, to finish at 11823.48, a two-week low. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index lost 13.91 points, or 1.13%, to 1211.82 and the Nasdaq Composite shed 39.96 points, or 1.55%, to 2539.31.
Leading the declines were energy stocks, as commodity prices fell steeply. Caterpillar CAT 2.12% fell 4.4% to lead the Dow decliners, while Chevron CVX -0.08% gave up 3% and Exxon Mobil XOM 0.22% fell 1.4%. Technology stocks were also weak, with Hewlett-Packard HPQ 1.70% and Cisco Systems CSCO 0.95% dropping 1.6% and 2.7%, respectively.
Market Data Center
European markets finished at the day's lows, as sentiment toward Europe's common currency soured after German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday she that opposed raising the lending limit for the euro-zone bailout fund.
The Stoxx Europe 600 lost 2.1%, and France's CAC 40 index dropped 3.3% for its worst one-day decline in six weeks. The euro also fell below $1.30 for the first time since January, trading recently at $1.2981. The currency has fallen more than 3% this week.
"People have lost faith in Europe," said Mike Boyle, portfolio manager at Advisors Asset Management. "Clearly, the driving force is Europe. The issue is that everyone wants a cure today, and they need time to come to a decent conclusion."
Separately, Italy sold the maximum targeted amount of five-year bonds, but was forced to pay a euro-era high average yield of 6.47% to do so, above the 6.29% paid at the previous auction last month. The country's 10-year bond yield rose back above the key 7% level, to 7.169%. Spain, Italy and France all saw their government bond yields widen over German bunds.
In the U.S., the dollar's strong rise against most of its major counterparts put pressure on commodity prices, many of which are priced in dollars. It has also worried some money managers who had taken encouragement from a recent string of strong economic numbers in the U.S.
"A rising dollar is going to be problematic for us," said Jennifer Ellison, principal at Bingham, Osborn & Scarborough in San Francisco, who expects the dollar's strength to continue climbing against the beleaguered euro.
"It just puts pressure on the little bits of good news that we've had domestically," Ms. Ellison said. "We're very worried about that."
In Asia, the Shanghai Composite gave up 0.9% to close at its lowest level since March 2009.
Gold futures tumbled 4.6% to settle at $1,584.30 an ounce. That decline, the biggest one-day drop in nearly three months, extended gold's December loss to 9.2% and sent the precious metal to a five-month low. Crude-oil futures slumped 5.2% to $94.95 a barrel. Copper dropped 4.7%, while silver tumbled 7.4%. Yields on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.903%, after an auction of 30-year bonds sold at a record low yield of 2.925%.
Data on import and export prices in November showed relatively muted signs of inflation, with import prices ticking up 0.7%, a touch lower than expectations for a 1.1% gain.
In corporate news, shares of Avon Products AVP 3.45% rallied 5.1% to top the S&P 500 gainers list after the beauty products company said Andrea Jung, currently chairman and chief executive, will relinquish her role as CEO when a successor is found.
On the downside, First Solar FSLR 1.39% tumbled 21% after the solar-panel maker cut its outlook for the year, citing continued delays in certain projects in its systems business. The company also provided a disappointing 2012 outlook.
Cheniere Energy LNG 1.05% slumped 10% after the energy company said it would offer 33 million shares of common stock for sale to the public.

This contract is a result of negotiations following the tender competition and has a value of approximately NOK 152 million excluding VAT.
This is the third contract for the new Opera House that Statsbygg has awarded to Veidekke. The first contract, which covered ground and foundation work, had a value of approximately NOK 207 million excluding VAT. The second contract, for the substructures, had a value of approximately NOK 200 million excluding VAT. When signing the contract, Veidekke's President and CEO Terje R. Venold emphasised that Veidekke considers the contract both exciting and challenging. He expressed pleasure over the positive and productive collaboration between Statsbygg and Veidekke on the project so far, and said that he was looking forward to continuing their work together. The work involves the construction of a weathertight, insulated building complete with roof and façades. This means extensive stone cladding work on the walls and roof, roofing, carpentry, work on windows and doors, metal façades, tinsmithing and masonry work. Detailed planning has already started, while the actual construction work will start after Easter 2005 and be completed by Christmas 2006. This is in line with Statsbygg's work schedule for the project. In the last year of the construction period the work will mainly consist of laying marble on the roof.

Jacket Potato Bolognese
Baked potato (also known as jacket potato) with its skin on, is the healthiest way to eat potato. Little ones are often well versed in potato chips, so this is often a relatively easy progression as far as vegetables go. The great thing about potatoes is that you can top them with all sorts of delicious and nutritious sauces that children often already like. If all else fails on the sauce front, some butter and cheese normally goes down well too.
Cooking and enjoying a whole potato like this shows kids what potato actually looks like – offering a brilliant teaching opportunity around how potatoes grow.
We've got our tried and tested gluten and dairy free bolognese recipe that little ones adore. You can leave out the beans if you like (they are a great source of fibre) – for adults enjoying the meal you can add some sliced mild chilli (as seen in the picture).
This jacket potato bolognese recipe makes around 12 portions so it's brilliant for freezing and mid week meals.
Adults and kids alike will adore this – it's packed full of vegetables, too! (*sssh- don't tell!)
Ingredients: (serves 12 – freezable) Packed full of vegetables and flavour!
- One potato per person, washed, pricked and baked (or microwaved) until cooked and drops off skewer
- 1.5kg beef mince
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 onions (chopped)
- 300g button mushrooms or approx 8 mushrooms (chopped)
- 4 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 2 cans mixed beans (drained and rinsed)
- 1kg tomatoes or approximately 10 tomatoes (or 6 x 400g cans of tomatoes) (chopped)
- 500g zucchini/courgette or approximately 3 zucchinis (chopped)
- 4 large carrots (peeled and chopped small)
- 120g baby spinach (chopped)
- 4 cups beef stock (gluten free)
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste

Sunday Selfie: Box. Feather. Spitty.
This has turned out to be one heckuva box, Human. Thanks for not throwing it away.
But honestly, is the price for 10 minutes of playtime yet more photos to prove I don't sleep 24/7?
I mean, I almost do, but that's because you're so old and boring.

Well, Spitty, sometimes you need to take what you can get! Humans, you know!ReplyDelete
Hey - having your photograph taken doesn't hurt and it means that your blog posts are filled with eye candy for us!ReplyDelete
If you're starting to feel that the Human is old and boring, it may be time to trade her in for a newer model.

We think you should try the Amazon A2 box. It would fit better.ReplyDelete

Innovations for Internal Business Operations
Innovation for internal company operations doesn't sound like a hot topic. Innovation is usually considered in the contexts of product strategy, marketing or UX design. However, the induction of a degree of innovation into how a company is ran and structured can result in significant benefits to its output and business value.
Innovation what?
What is innovation though? It can be defined as creative exploitation of ideas originated from available means in order to deliver value-added outcomes. Innovation is a change of perspective – an act of borrowing mechanisms which work well in one space and applying them in another, often in quite unexpected ways. Innovation is the will to experiment and fail quickly. "Eureka" moments are extremely rare, but you don't have to sit under a tree and wait for the apple to fall. They are attainable with a simple grind: persist, iterate, change perspective and be brave to experiment.
Let's consider a few examples of how innovative thinking can benefit an organization from its foundation.
The DNA of a company is the DNA of its founder. Mission statement, branding, strategy and processes are merely documented expressions of that vision. Let's move beyond the obvious though: how often is the founder consistent, persistent enough and successful in imprinting their DNA in the company's foundation? How many companies have you seen where the founder's approach is the mirror image of the genius, sweat and productivity of its employees?
In the modern technology field, the founder is almost always driven by desire to innovate. If they can communicate that passion and translate it to company's culture, then all aspects of the organization can be configured in unconventional ways. Application of innovative thinking to the most "mundane" or opaque departments can drastically change their traditional image and role in the organization. The usual suspects: HR, legal, finance, IT can receive a boost of energy if they're made transparent, collaborative and agile. That solidifies company's foundation, speeds up all operations and makes employees more productive and engaged.
Let's consider innovation through the introduction of a culture full of energy, open communication and agile collaboration.
Imagine a founder who defines his core value as imperfection. They see it as a powerful weapon: imperfection breeds uniqueness, unpredictability and dynamism. It generates dialogue, is incomplete and intriguing. Imperfections are not meant to be perceived as a deficit in an otherwise perfect whole. Perfection is not the goal because it's too immaculate: no cracks in the surface make it too smooth, bland and boring. Imperfection denotes the essence of life. It is uniqueness and the promise of further improvement and energy. Imperfection is an acknowledgement of failure and a strong desire to evolve and improve.
Such an abstract concept requires rare mastery to exploit in a business environment. How do you balance it with a need to portray an organization as a stable and solid business partner? How do you imprint such an ambiguous value in company's culture?
Unless the structures breathe in the same rhythm as the founder, the task may be insurmountable. The example always trickles down from top to the bottom. Innovation is distributed: leadership teams should adopt founder's values and carry them downwards to their teams. Departments can creatively take advantage of some the aspects of imperfection: implement processes which are unique and adaptable, train the employees to be dynamic and accepting of failure in a productive way. In services companies in particular, careful application of the concept may translate into interesting and unconventional sales strategies. In creative activities, acceptance of imperfection as an inherent foundation of the creative process can lead to original and thought provoking solutions.
Communication as a carrier of company culture and the glue of all activities is so obvious that it's very often overlooked. People like to fall back to well-known yet inefficient communication behaviors: mile-long email threads with dozens of people copied and absolutely no sense of conversation progression is a good example. Another could be "death by meeting". It is difficult to teach the optimal communication behaviors in virtual reality because they are so subtly different from their real-world counterparts. We slip into known patterns without a second thought and misunderstandings ensue. On top of that, the ability to successfully divide behaviors appropriate in workplace from those found in casual environments is a rare soft skill. And finally the cultural and social differences between people in different geographies is a significant and delicate problem.
Communication challenges are multi-layered and innovative thinking is required to realize them fully and build a culture which consciously focuses on overcoming them. Realizing why email is different from a face-to-face conversation, making an effort to minimize the amount and length of meetings, understanding the cultural and social idiosyncrasies, using time zone differences to your advantage, embracing the self-discipline of writing or speaking succinctly, on time, when needed, to the right person — it takes a concerted effort to get there. I believe companies should not burden their employees with extensive training in this regard, but should rather build environments where modern communication behaviors are promoted by the leadership team and naturally enabled by the available tools. Natural communication should occur naturally. It should come from almost a spontaneous need to get things done quickly and move on, rather than a 20-page process document.
Slack is a great example of such a mindset. The platform is built purposefully to enable communication that is brief, to the point, transparent, collaborative, inclusive and last but not least — fun. It uses modern technologies and user experience patterns originally developed on mobile platforms, which delivers an casual-feeling environment encouraging productivity, transparency, collaboration and engagement.
Agile Everything
Agile methodology in software development is successful in making the process of building a "foundationless house" more comfortable and faster. Agile encourages experimentation, reduces the cost of failure and gives a huge boost to communication transparency and collaboration. As a result, it is attainable to build software with a goal-oriented mindset, in an environment of perpetually changing external conditions.
What if we apply the agile principles to internal company structures? How about running human resource activities as projects, in two-week sprints? Can you imagine legal department conducting daily stand-up meetings? What if finances are ran on a kanban board, with clearly defined and automatically tracked milestones? What if all these departments collaborate with each other using one simple communication tool, which enables simple progress tracking and allows to seamlessly control internal P&L? What if the founder participates in sprint reviews and uses them to pivot the company towards new business initiatives?
Company operations are usually considered static, siloed and impervious to market changes. How about flipping it upside down? After all, an organization needs to respond as a whole to new market trends, ever-changing employee expectations, legal challenges, as well as strategy adjustments. How often companies are sluggish to adapt and fail because of their internal ballast? In modern technology sector, it is crucial to pivot before a new trend penetrates the market. Such pivots are essentially trend setters: iPod, iPhone, Snapchat becoming a "camera" company (and Facebook immediately jumping on that bandwagon) etc. If legal, finance, operations, IT etc. can adjust as dynamically as the founder's vision changes, a company can morph like a chameleon and internal aspects are no longer a factor in its potential success or failure.
An unconventional look at internal business operations can bring measurable improvements to how the whole business acts and responds to change. The examples suggested above are certainly a few among many. It all begins with a conscious effort to imprint and celebrate founder's vision and uniqueness in every single aspect of the business. Enabling a culture of dynamic collaboration is the second step. And they're both a part of an all-encompassing, conscious effort to maintain careful and open communication across the whole organization. It can result in an environment which encourages competitiveness and joy among the whole team, results in significant efficiency improvements and allows the company to appropriately respond to the perpetually changing market conditions.

Daifuku Webb acquires Elite Line Services LLC from G&T Conveyor Company
09 November 2012
Daifuku Webb Holding Company, a subsidiary of Daifuku Co., has completed the purchase of all equity of Elite Line Services LLC (ELS) from G&T Conveyor Company Inc. G&T is majority owned by Brynwood Partners IV LP, a private equity fund. ELS will operate as a subsidiary of Daifuku Webb within the Daifuku Group. ELS has more than 800 employees who will continue to provide operations and maintenance support for baggage handling systems, passenger boarding bridges, vehicle fleet and ground support equipment at airports. "ELS will continue to offer the same high-quality service it always has to airports across North America," said Brian Stewart, co-CEO of Daifuku Webb Holding Company. "The only change is it now has the support of a USD 2 billion organization and one of the largest airport baggage handling system providers in the world." The management team for ELS remains in place, and it will continue to be headquartered in Carrollton, TX. In April 2010, Daifuku launched a three-year business plan called 'Material Handling and Beyond', where it expressed a commitment to position the airport baggage handling business as one of its core businesses. Jervis B. Webb Company, a subsidiary of Daifuku Webb, provides airport baggage handling systems primarily in North America. In 2011, the Group completed the purchase of Logan Teleflex, another leading baggage handling company with locations in the United Kingdom, France and the U.S.

|Nutritional Guidelines (per serving)
These hello Dolly bars—also known as 7 layer bars—are made with a combination of semisweet chocolate and butterscotch chips. The bars are assembled in seven layers, and they are incredibly delicious.
We look forward to making these for the holidays, but you really don't need a special occasion to bake them. There's very little preparation involved since it's just a matter of layering ingredients and popping them in the oven.
You can change them up a bit by replacing the butterscotch chips with more chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or white chocolate chips. There are lots of options in the markets these days! We think toffee chips would be amazing. Or, make dulce de leche (caramel sauce) with the sweetened condensed milk (dulce de leche) and use that on the bars. We've included a simple caramel how-to below the recipe but plan in advance because you will have to let the milk cook over simmering water or in the oven for about 2 hours.
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 8 whole graham crackers)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup flaked sweetened coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
- 1 (15 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
Steps to Make It
Heat the oven to 350 F.
Melt the butter and then combine it with the graham cracker crumbs in a bowl. Mix well. Pat the graham cracker crumb mixture in the bottom of a 13-by-9-by-2-inch baking pan.
Sprinkle the remaining ingredients over the crumbs in the order given, in layers.
Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk over all. Do NOT stir.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack and then cut into bars.
Shared by Janet
Tips and Variations
Original Hello Dolly Bars - Use 1 cup (or more) of semisweet chocolate chips and omit the butterscotch chips.
Use white chocolate chips instead of butterscotch chips.
How to Make Caramel (Dulce De Leche) With Sweetened Condensed Milk
Make dulce de leche (caramel sauce) with your sweetened condensed milk before using it on the bars!
Stovetop - Pour the sweetened condensed milk into the top of a double boiler. Bring water in the bottom pan to a simmer, turn the heat to low, and cook the sweetened condensed milk over the simmering water for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until it is thick and caramel-colored. Check the bottom pan occasionally and add more water if necessary. Beat until smooth.
Oven - Pour the sweetened condensed milk into a pie plate. Cover the pan with foil and put it in a large, shallow pan with about 1/2-inch of hot water. Bake in a preheated 425 F (220 C/Gas 7) oven for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until thick and caramel-colored.
Or make it with this easy slow cooker method!

From Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, 23 July 1789
To John Jay
Paris July 23. 1789.
The bearer of my letters (a servant of Mr. Morris) not going off till to-day I am enabled to add to their contents. The spirit of tumult seemed to have subsided, when yesterday it was excited again by a particular incident. Monsieur Foullon, one of the obnoxious ministry, who, as well as his brethren, had absconded, was taken in the country, and as is said by his own tenants, and brought to Paris. Great efforts were exerted, by popular characters, to save him. He was at length forced out of the hands of the Garde Bourgeoise, hung immediately, his head cut off, and his body drawn through the principal streets of the city. The Intendant of Paris, Monsieur de Chauvigny, accused of having entered into the designs of the same ministry, has been taken at Compiegne, and a body of 200 men on horseback are gone for him. If he be brought here, it will be difficult to save him. Indeed it is hard to say at what distance of time the presence of one of those ministers, or of any of the most obnoxious of the fugitive courtiers, will not rekindle the same bloodthirsty spirit. I hope it is extinguished as to every body else, and yesterday's example will teach them to keep out of it's way.—I add two other sheets of the point du Jour, and am with the most perfect esteem & respect, Sir, Your most obedt. & most humble servt,
Th: Jefferson
P.S. I just now learn that Bertier de Chauvigny was brought to town in the night last night and massacred immediately.
RC (DNA: PCC, No. 87, ii). PrC (DLC). Enclosure: Further issues of Le point du jour (see TJ to Jay, 19 July 1789).

Who doesn't have a sweet tooth? Or as my son told me ,every single one of his teeth were his 'sweet thooths'.
As seen in the LA Times the Hollywood Farmer's Market (1600 Ivar Ave, 90028) Sunday April 13th from 8 am to 1 pm, is host to this years 2nd annual Bakers will Bake pastry and sweet extravaganza. And this with this glorious weather we are having, why not venture somewhere new to pick up some vegetables and a brownie on the side (while contributing to a great cause)?
The money raised will go to a great cause too, benefiting the Garden School Foundation, a local organization that focuses on developing garden-based programs at underserved schools throughout Los Angeles. Roxana Jullapat of Cooks County had the idea for a big bake sale last year while volunteering with the Edible Schoolyard at Larchmont Charter School. Last year, with the help of many of Jullapat's fellow bakers and pastry chefs, Bakers Will Bake raised more than $3,000, which went to purchase a stainless-steel prep sink and a refrigerator for Larchmont Charter School's gardening and cooking classes and this year they are hoping to double their donation.
Confirmed bakers are said to be: Shannon Swindle (Craft L.A.), Christine Moore (Little Flower Candy Co.), Clemence Gosset (Gourmandise School), Zoe Nathan (Huckleberry, Rustic Canyon), Mariah Swan (BLD), Zack Hall (Clark Street Bread), Na Young Ma (Proof Bakery), Sarah Lange (The Hart and the Hunter), Kei Okumura (Sugarbird Sweets), Meadow Ramsey (Sqirl), Annie Miler (Clementine), David Rodriguez (Providence, Connie and Ted's), Elizabeth Belkind (Cake Monkey Bakery), Max Lesser (Morning Glory Confections), Melissa Cortina (Pig and Pastry), Rose Lawrence (Red Bread), Michelle Park (Akasha), Ann Kirk (Little Dom's), Barbara Monderine (Village Bakery), Joann Yan (Cube Marketplace), Valerie Gordon (Valerie Confections), Jonathan Grahm (Compartes Chocolates), Tara Maxey (Heirloom L.A.) and Sherry Yard (Helms Bakery).

Slip of the Tongue
Submitted by Trent McBride on Thu, 2005-02-03 02:01
In an otherwise incoherent rant at Rolling Stone, Paul Krugman admits the truth:
Social Security is simply not the biggest problem facing the government today.
I will grant that reasonable people can argue about the priorities our government can take to fix itself. But, in stating it's not #1 on the list, Krugman admits that SS is what it is - a problem. No take-backs, Paul.

I am hearing impaired and I live in a fairly quiet world. If I am not wearing my hearing aids, sounds that may be painfully loud to normal hearing people (NHPs) may be barely audible to me. Even with hearing aids, I still don't have the same level of hearing as NHPs.
All my life, I have been catering to NHPs. They don't like it when I slam doors, speak loudly, or turn up the TV as loud as I can. Since I spend most of my days surrounded by NHPs, I comply with their wishes. I try not to upset them or cause pain to their ears.
However, when I am alone these rules no longer apply. If you ever see me driving with the stereo so loud that my side mirrors are vibrating, that means I am not catering to NHPs that moment.

I'm not really a lip gloss kind of girl, but this is one of my favorites! This came in a set with the Frat Boy blush and bronzer. At first I wasn't excited about this product, but I surprisingly fell in love with it.
The packaging is just okay- compared to theBalm's other products.
I love the scent, it reminds me of banana candy or something. This gloss is not sticky at all, and looks very natural. It's a peach color with gold shimmers, and I can wear this any day. It also has spf which is good because it prevents your lips from getting burned!

TheBalm lip gloss called Valley Girl is described as a Shimmering Peach. This was a complete disappointment. Purchased in a kit from TJ Maxx, I believe the shelf life must have been expired, so a bum review really isn't justified. The product is extremely difficult to attach to the wand. It is shiny and pretty and looks good, (if you can get the product out) on top of a nude or peach lippie just to give a tap of gloss on the center of the lower lip. You certainly cannot get much satisfaction from the product alone on the lips. I can only hope that a fresh one would be an asset to your collection.

New Army Combat Uniform Related Questions
WASHINGTON (Army News Service - June 6, 2006) -- Army service uniforms will be streamlined to one blue Army Service Uniform, the Army announced today.
"World-class Soldiers deserve a simplified, quality uniform. The blue Army Service Uniform is a traditional uniform that is consistent with the Army's most honored traditions," said Sgt. Maj. Of the Army Kenneth O. Preston.
"We have all of these variations of uniforms – green, blue and white," said Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker. "It makes sense for us to go to one traditional uniform that is really sharp and high quality and which Soldiers will be very proud to wear. And that's what we've done by adopting this blue Army Service Uniform that reflects simplicity, quality, utility and tradition."

Holding Eric part 17
Eric felt himself becoming confused to the roads leading back to the truck stop, looking back and forth trying to place every building knowing one of theses' roads would lead him back, it was a long walk back being scared and starting to sweat walking from the dumpster looking across the street at a day care not knowing what way to go Eric wanting to scream for help, but the eerie feeling which seemed to have possession over his emotions would not allow it only a tightness starting to cry, hurrying seeing a man just up the street hurry to reach him.
"Hello' Hello" reaching him out of breath, tears down his cheeks wiping them off, as the man stopped looking down at him reach over touching his shoulder bending down.
"You ok what happen?"
"Some guy in a green car just tried to pick me up"
"When just now?" Looking down the road not seeing any cars
"Yea by the day care back there' I marked the plate number by the dumpster"
"Maybe you should call the police"
"I would but I don't see any phones around you have one?"
"No Sorry' look I'll phone them maybe you better come with me?"
"No I got to get back to the truck stop' I got side tracked somehow from it"
"You sure the only trucks stop is down the street just under the thruway"
"So I'm not far from it then"
"It's a walk you sure you don't want to come with me"
"I'll be fine now what street is this?"
"19th Street you need to turn on East Grand to the truck stop"
"Ok that way right"
"Yes just thru the underpass you really should get to a phone as soon as possible"
"I will thanks"
Hurrying down the street looking behind him every so offend with traffic heavy making sure it wasn't the same car, staying on the sidewalk spotting the overpass walking a little faster only looking over at a tire shop, seeing the on ramp and a few trucks waiting at the light to get on hurry crossing the street stopping under the overpass embankment making sure the dirt was off his pants relived, walking down to the end of the street it wasn't the same truck stop but it was a truck stop seeing the trucks parked in the lot.
Across the street pass the fuel pumps going to the door, Three persons coming out the last holding the door for Eric, hot and sweaty, headed inside seeing it was a travel store with only a quick meal and booths. Heading right for the washroom, into the cubicle seating down cradling his face to his knees, trying to control his tears, wanting to hold his mother again in his arms knowing he couldn't anymore was just now hitting him even more, that feeling of being all alone with no place to go, no one could help him now his only hope was to get to Texas even that was unsure what would happen.
Controlling his feelings opening the door walking out looking at the sink, moving to the second one washing his face and hands off, two men came in and left before Eric finished washing his face and hands combing his hair back and placing his cap on return looking around the travel store radios and gloves on the shelves, looking up seeing two pay phones not far from the restaurant, hurry over checking seeing how much change he had looking at two quarters, picking up the receiver looking at the information hitting 911.
"Hello what's your emergency?"
"I'm' I'm"
"Hello can you talk?"
In a low voice looking around him "Yes it was this guy tried to get me in his car"
"Where are you now? … What is your name?"
"Look I'm ok now' the Building number is 4560 near the dumpster on 19th street just down from the big water tower in the middle of the road"
"What's the location of the person that trying to get you?"
"The plate number of the car" pausing as his expression dropped checking around him
"The car what type was it?"
"Look I can't stay on the phone it green two door he tried to get me!" Eric lifted his head and peered up towards the ceiling tiles, his chin began to tremble fearing someone was watching him, eyes moving back and forth seeing only the cashier and doorway of more person's coming in.
"What did he look like?"
"I don't know!,4560 on the building just across from some day care' his plate was out of state Ill … something … I …I Got to go" Hanging up the phone looking around making sure no one heard him, only see one guy looking at DVD tapes.
Disappointed in himself for even making the call now slowly walking to the restaurant area looking around the yellow booths, Hungry and thirsty looking around for any truck drivers seeing a few families together and three other men together talking, then spotted one guy who looked like a trucker just coming in standing at the counter, Eric quickly walked up standing next to him looking what they had.
"You a truck driver" Eric asked looking up at him"
He looked down "sure and you"
"Not yet' food looks good ok if I sit with you or you waiting for someone?"
"I don't like eating by myself"
"Sure its ok don't mind the company"
"I'll buy your lunch for you"
"I can pay for my own" taking his sandwich going over sitting down, Eric ordered a sandwich and soda taking them over, the driver waved his hand to the open booth scooting in across form him
"Good food"
He just nodded taking a big bite, Eric trying not to look at him without staring seeing his tired sun wrinkles above his cheeks seemed to blend in with the rest of him, brownish gray goat tee and worn Red ball cap, tattered jean jacket with wool around the collar from many years of wearing them in pride.
"So you have a name?" truck driver asking
Eric quickly looking back "Eric" holding out his hand to him, He looked up and reach over shaking his hand "Well hello Eric the Names Glenn" Eric with a nod and smile, back after taking a big bite.
The two sat talking for a short while over there meal, Eric said he was still going to visit The gateway to the west and the Museum they had near it, he was supposed to go with his friends only forgetting to set his alarm clock, sleeping late after staying up watching television, right into telling him the bus runs right along the highway and he had to switch getting a few other busses, but he would get there after a few hours so that wouldn't' t be too bad, giving his sad looking face wiping his mouth off of mayo' then right back, that he find his friends and maybe still have time to see some more sights before they headed back.
Glenn was able to get a word or two in asking if they were expecting him to show, Eric of course said they were he was told to meet them at the gateway lobby so they could page them when he arrived, Then Eric started laying it on Glen getting his full interest about what was like at the Gateway looking out over the highway watching all the cars and telling him you could see for miles around it was huge you could even take and elevator if you didn't want to walk. letting him talk as he finished off his Sandwich, only taking a break from Eric to refill there cups, As soon as Glen sat down sipping on his soda Eric telling Glenn the busses were running about every hour and he still had a sometime before he had to go, Glenn smiled at him "Look Eric I can give you a ride how would that be?"
"What 'well I don't think were strangers anymore so ok"
"You about ready them?"
"Sure you need to check with a dispatcher or someone first?"
"No were good you can take it with you" Glenn said after seeing him trying to finish his soda fast watering his eyes being so cold.
Glenn waited for him to clear the table taking the trash to the waste can before the two head outside holding there sodas, stopping at the door Eric spotted two Police cars just outside, Glenn open the door for Eric letting him go first, Eric quickly tilted is head down dropping his hat, Glenn reach down picking it up as one policeman looked over only back to what he was doing as Glenn placed his hat back on walking past the pumps to the trucks park in a row, Glenn stopping at a Red Peterbuilt open the side door pulling out a small club starting to walk down to the tires, Eric following close behind.
"Watch the bounce right if it Thuds it flat right?"
Glenn looked back smiling "Yes that right' why don't you go ahead and get in"
"Ok is it unlocked?"
Glenn just nodded back yes checking along the rear.
"Nice Truck" Eric smiled with pride looking at the name plate walking around the front checking the headlights and tall CB Antenna's with amber lights string around them to the top., getting in the passenger side like it was old times setting his drink in the tray looking above the visor for the log book, Glenn open the door getting in, setting his drink in the open slot checking out the window.
"You have to mark it in your log?" Eric asking buckling his seatbelt still looking around the inside
"It will be just a second and yes" Glenn watching the Police men talking to each other outside next to the patrol cars, reaching down pulling Log book out from the panel next to him.
"Don't most truck drivers place it over the visor" smelling the in-scent hanging on the dash looking at it
"I like it in the pocket here" flipping the pages around only glancing up a few times to what they were doing, filling out his log, holding it watching one car pulling out going down the street.
Eric looking down at the panel below the drink tray, then at the gauges finding them newer
"So this is a newer unit?"
"Just a few years old, better than the last one they gave me"
"They gave it to you? Excided with a big smile
"Sure it mine as long as I'm with the company"
"Oh' you ever going to get your own rig?" watching the dash light switched from green to amber
"Someday' ready to roll"
Eric nodded watching the truck ahead pulling in to the fuel area giving them room to leave, pulling out heading down the line of trucks to the exit, shifting making it bounce a few times heading down the street shifting between the slowing cars towards the expressway ramp.
"Why'd it bounce?" asked in curiosity.
"It's a little over loaded but were good" watching his mirrors staying in the center lane.
"Did you ever hear the song Running Bear by Johnny Preston?"
"On the banks stood Runny bear on the other side of the river sat, Little white dove Runny Bear"
"Yea that the one I like that old tone don't you?'
"Yes it's a sad song did you know that the water drown them"
"Huh' It Did?" Eric became puzzled, and strangely interested
"You just here Running bear as the tone pulls you in' you don't hear the whole song next time you hear it follow the words ok"
"They Drowned?"
"No just to a better place" Glenn smiling over
"You must listen to a lot of them riding all day?"
"Years' at the time songs meet something to everyone"
"They don't anymore we follow them' maybe it's just like you said"
"We sing along' you sing a long so it moves us right Eric?"
"Yea it does"
"Not much More Look" Glenn pointing to the arches changing lanes.
Getting off the ramp looking at the road construction slowly pulling out wide to avoid the cones setup following the signs to the parking lot area pulling over to the side out of the way of traffic looking upward at the arch. "Wow it is kind'a big" Glenn said amazed
"What to go in and see around I'll show you it's great" With a big knot in his thought trying to smile looking at it so high himself, keeping his cool not to show it was scary.
"No maybe another time you have a good time and enjoy yourself"
"Yea sure' Thanks for the ride' hey you got a card or something?" leaning back over the seat
"A card?"
"Yea maybe my dad can help you someday"
"Here it's the company's my phone numbers on the bottom tell you dad I gave you a ride ok"
"Sure I'll tell him and how nice you were and well Thanks again" Holding out his hand shaking it before climbing down, closing the door looking up at the window hearing the gear shift slowly pulling out in to the lane, Eric waving while he drove off sadden that he was leaving, Eric was just getting to like him, waited for the traffic before crossing the street walking towards the arch, head raised tilted so the sun blocked some by his cap rim, still it glowing back its reflection off the arch.
Eric experiencing everything around him letting it soak in walking around checking out the benches and trees mostly seeing others reaction almost the same for the first time seeing anything so big, looking at the door way leading inside, Eric decided not to go fearing he would get sick from the heights so far up, last thing he wanted to draw any more attention to himself, Posters showing the theatre walking closer among the family's excided going inside already, spotting a pamphlet on the ground picking it up showing the Arch way and Museum of the Westword Expansion, Nature History of the west and even a movie show, gift shop and a small snack bar. Wanting more than anything to go inside holding back afraid of the heights looking in the window trying to see if it was on the same floor not in the Arch someplace.
Flipping it to the backside not finding anything about how much it cost decided to following along with a family with two young girls around his age and a younger brother holding their hands walking together, Eric stayed right behind them hoping to get inside without paying, finding out it was free to the public was a relief to find relaxing more, slowing walking along with the crowed keeping up with the same family experiencing everything for the first time together looking at all the murals and exhibit's. It was strange to Eric seeing someone's reaction to almost feeling like you were travelling back in time, enjoying each one explaining how they traveled in the wagons heading westward, stopping at the River boats on the Mississippi to St. Louis down the river just as Tom Sawyer did, while the girls giggled and smiled looking at Eric reading more of the western adventure, talking a few times with the girls as they walked along Cindy and Beth were their names with little brother Clifford, stopping at the tables near the gift shop in the front area, Eric was asked to join them by Cindy finding him attractive while they waited on their parents before going in to the theater to see the movie.
Eric agreed asking where they were from after Clifford asked for orange pop to drink, finding it strange asking what is pop, Beth said he sounded strange also saying they were from Michigan and Soda there is called Pop!. Smiling back after she said he also talked funny' Eric telling them he was from Rhode Island and had picked up some of Maine's way of talking also, they laughed and had a good time sitting waiting finishing off the sodas and pop's till their parents showed up, only saying Hello and moving quickly to the line where Everyone had already started gathering around lining up at the doors, getting in line together Eric staying along Cindy while Beth and Clifford carrying on about what they seen shuffled their feet against the carpeting going in finding seats not far from the door, Eric sat on the end only having to scooting in two seats sitting next to Cindy waiting in silence waiting for the movie to start, everyone inside as the lights faded and the curtains were drawn and finely silence in the room as the music started.
Lights slowly came back on as the movie faded outward and gray till everything was bright inside showing the exit doors open same ones they entered, walking out standing at the gift shop window as they went inside only waving to Cindy and Beth as they headed inside, Watching from the window seeing them looking at the Indian dresses apparel with lots of beads, the feeling was a hard and sad Eric walked away heading outside but not before getting another Orange pop, looking to the Arch walking to an empty bench sitting down having a nice view to the river, almost seeing Tom and Huck on a raft following it down stream' frowning at the river holding his cold soda can knowing time never changed the river, but only the people around it.
Eric looked at the river feeling the chill breezes shifting his arm upward over the backside, watching the people walking around it was something he missed being a family knowing he lost everything wishing he could end all the pain and misery that made up his life wishing that it would change and be back the way they were as a family, looking sideways to the Arch only seeing more families enjoying themselves, changing his look crunching the can in his hand tossing it to the trash can watching it fly right in getting up from the bench, this was not the place to be it Eric started walking down the street towards town not even caring anymore just like his parents didn't care always fought with each other, always forgot about his birthday even last year, so confused and scared trying not to cry walking faster down the sidewalk.

Good afternoon parents and guardians,
It is with a mixture of sadness and excitement that we say 'all the best' to Mrs Fern as she leaves today to start her maternity leave. Mrs Fern has had a big impact on the lives of our young students in the Primary over the last two and a half years. On behalf of the College community, I would like to wish her well over the coming weeks and months.
Miss Kathy Hiron is taking over the Year 1 class from next Thursday. Miss Hiron has taught the students a number of times in the role as a relief teacher, as well as helping out for many days this term as a volunteer. She is very professional and approachable, and the students in Year 1 will have a smooth transition to their new teacher due to the efforts she has already made within the class.
The College will be closed for two public holidays next Monday and Wednesday, as well as a student free day on Tuesday. As mentioned in previous correspondence, this is the last year that TMC will close on these particular days. From next year, we will only acknowledge the Monday, Scenic Rim Show Holiday. Please take this into consideration when you are planning family holidays for 2018.
I hope you all enjoy a fantastic long weekend with your families.
Kind regards,
Mark Stevens
Head of Primary
Early Arrivals/Late Departures Policy – Update
If your child is taken to school before 8:15 am they must be booked in with Camp Australia. If a Primary student is found on campus before this time, the teacher will sit the student outside their classroom and initiate contact with their parents to remind them of 8:15 am drop off time.
If a child is left at the College after 3:15 pm they will be taken either to the main office or to Mr Stevens' office where they will wait until their parent collects them.
This policy is in place so your children are adequately supervised at all times. Please make sure that if there is a change to your child's routine in the afternoon (i.e. not catching the bus when they normally would), you notify their teacher well-ahead of time so they may help to remind them.
Moonhack – Computer Coding Day
TMC Primary parent, Sharon Green, shared this exciting event with me today. Moonhack is aimed at any students aged 8-18 who love coding (i.e. Scratch programming etc). The idea is to have a global day of coding and they hope to break the world record of the number of children doing it at the same time. Last year they started the event in Australia and set the record at 10,207 children coding simultaneously. This year the event is going global and they want to smash last year's record.
Follow the link below if this sounds like something your child/ren would be into. The event is next Tuesday, so it would be a perfect activity for their student free day. Let your child's teacher know if your they were involved – maybe they could share their Moonhack coding with the class next Thursday!
Primary Choir
A very excited Primary Choir gave its first performance for 2017 in assembly last week. The choir performed 'Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head' followed by 'Never Smile at a Crocodile' with Year 1 and Year 2. Lastly, Prep joined in to sing the pirate song 'When I was One'. All our musicians did a great job singing and performing actions and it was a real highlight of assembly last week!
I would like to invite students from Years 1 – 6 to join the choir for its next performance at the Primary Music Concert on the 3rd of November. Rehearsals take place every Tuesday at second break in the Stage Area. It is important that interested students make a commitment to regularly attend rehearsals each week so that we can prepare for our best possible performance at the November concert.
Being part of the Choir is a great opportunity for students to enjoy music making with their peers, develop their musical and performance talents, build confidence, and complement their classroom and instrumental music programs at the College. I look forward to seeing more students join us next week!
Felicity Addison
Primary Music Teacher
Illnesses in the Primary
Sharing is fun! But not when it comes to germs… The Primary teachers regularly remind students about personal hygiene, especially at this time of year. Parents can help by reinforcing these practices at home as well. We have had many children off school sick recently as it has been a terrible season for illnesses. Please remember to email [email protected] if your child is too unwell for school.
Prep – Year 2 Moana Dance Performance – Monday, August 7
It was an amazing turnout by family and friends to see the Prep – Year 2 dance performance of Moana. Mr Fern will edit together video footage from the show and we will share it with the College community when it is ready. Congratulations to the performers and teachers for a wonderful show!
Year 4 and 5 Camp – Monday, 7 August – Wednesday, 9 August
The annual Primary camp was a big success this year. The students and teachers enjoyed their three days of fun and adventure at camp. The weather was perfect and by all accounts the food was amazing! The teachers took plenty of photographs during the camp, so please see your child's teacher for a copy which they can put onto USB.
Value for Next Week – Trustworthiness
The value is discussed on assembly each Monday morning and students participate in a values lesson the following Friday. Our values class begins at 8:30 am each Friday for a lesson based around the value of the week. Please ensure that you note this in your diaries so you child is dropped off at school BEFORE 8:30 am on Friday.
