This is my Earth. |
"Now we know a lot about the energies that are on our little planet."
"Yeah. There are sure a lot of energies around here," Jill announced in a firm voice..
"We know the energy that is necessary for the redwoods and ollieberries and flowers to grow and the energy that the animals need to move around in space."
"The spacebinders," Chance yelled out. "Like the eagles."
"We know about the energy of magnetism and electricity. We know about the light energy in the elements in rocks."
"I love the lilac color of potassium coming out of that powder you had. I just love that color," Serene told us.
"And we know about the energy of the carbon dioxide molecule and the water molecules that cycle around and around on this small planet of ours." I gave each child a model of Earth I had prepared out of a Styrofoam sphere covered with potting soil. "What would you put on yourEarth? Forests like this one we are in? And maybe large oceans? Maybe even gardens in neighborhoods? What would you put on your Earth?" I asked them.
"I know what I'm going to do. I know what I'm going to do with my Earth." Nissa clutched the rubber band tightly at the top of her Earth and spun herit around and around.
"I'm going to make a beautiful Earth," Serene spoke softly as she examined her supplies of glue and tissue paper pieces. "I love Earth. My grandpa always tells me, 'Earth's the perfect place for love'. My mom says that he's always talking love."
"I'm going to collect all the prickly seeds in the meadow. And I want to make some volcanoes on my Earth" Chance began squeezing chunks of Sculpey Clay in his palms, framing them up to make wild looking mountains and firey volcanoes. "I'm going to need dried grass from the meadow for eagle nests. That's what I'm going to stick on top of long twigs on top of my mountains. My Earth is going to have places for eagles on it."
Jill sat quietly gazing at her model of Earth. For some reason she thought about plants eating the carbon dioxide gas. She still chuckled at the thought as she recalled her younger brother making carbon dioxide gas with her last night. She rolled the small sphere around and around on the ground before announcing, "I'm going to make grassy meadows. And I'm going to make a planet that has water holes for my horse. He likes it when I give him a bath." She began tearing pieces of various hues of blue tissue paper into what she thought would be perfect for water holes.
After the children had settled on their own ideas for their Earth, I suggested, "Let's go down into the forest to gather some things for our planet. There are shady places where we can find leaves for fertile valleys and there are sunny places that are full of seeds of tomorrow's flowers. Maybe we can find just the right thing for meadows and finely shaped twigs for huts and churches. And there are even some leaves that could be used for lettuce. And there are lots and lots of red berries too that look like apples in the winter months."
"And don't forget the forget-me-nots," Jimmy reminded me in a loud voice.
Jill was silent as we walked down into the meadow's dry stems. With each step she took it sounded like she was stepping on hundreds of seeds that had been dried in a large oven. She walked over to the far edge of the meadow, made sure her specimen pouch was wide open and began gathering pieces of stems and whole leaves to put on her model of Earth. "I'm going to put a lot of prickly seeds on my Earth because they can stick to Earth easier than a berry." She popped a ripe ollieberry into her mouth then disappeared around the lightcave, searching for dry, prickly, worn out stuff.
"I'm not. I'm going to put everything on my Earth. Even pebbles with quartz if I find one small enough." Nissa picked up a pebble and began examining it with her magnifying lens. Perhaps, she thought, this pebble would speak to her this time. It would speak to her of fortune and fame.
"Look at this. I found a feather. It's as white as a marshmallow." Serene rushed up to me and opened her palm, revealing the delicate curl of a white feather. I took it from her hand, examined it and told her, "It's still breast-warm. It must have just fallen. Maybe from a dove." I held it up into the sunlight and looked through it. "Oh my gosh. Do you see what I see?"
"What?" She carefully took the feather away from me, held it up into the sunlight and looked through it."Oh! I can't believe it. I can't believe it," she squealed out. "I see red light. And orange light and yellow light," she told me as if she was looking at a rainbow.
"Yes. The colored light patches kind of spread out like miniature fans don't they?" I asked.
"I want this feather for my Earth." Serene looked up at me witih the broadest grin I had ever seen stretch across her face, for this little feather charmed her in a large and unforgettable way. It made her feel like an explorer, an explorer of rainbows.
"And did you see the blue and violet light layered close to the spine of the feather?" I asked as she brought the feather back up to her eye and squinted through it, holding her gaze as if she was viewing a swarm of fireflies.
"Yeah." After a long silence some compelling thought directed her hand to quickly close down around the feather to prevent it from flying away. "This feather is going to be in my lightcave on my Earth." She pushed it down into her pouch for safe keeping then went on pulling at dry stems of grasses while secretly looking for more marshmallow-white feathers.
"I'm going to make a nest for a eagle," Chance announced as he reached down and orphaned a dandelion from the meadow.
When we returned to the lesson area it wasn't long before I saw models of Earth that had already aged millions of years. I saw oceans shored in dry grasses near equators. Waves of clay mountains appeared out of nowhere in northern hemispheres. They were topped with short conifer branches and small redwood cones. Chance wasted no time sticking thick prickly seeds into a small clump of hairy grass stems. He glued the 'nest' on top of a young branch from a redwood tree and stuck it into one of two tall Sculpey Clay mountains he had made before gathering the specimens in the meadow. He placed it by a large deep blue tissued lake. As I watched him work, his planet just seemed to give way to the perennial green of young redwood branches which were carefully wound around toothpicks and arranged in clumps making it look like a conifer forest of the northwest. Jill glued prickly seeds at the base of clay plateaus in row upon row making it look like vast deserts. Near her equator small light blue tissue paper 'water holes' bordered large brown redwood twigs.
When I looked over at Nissa, I noticed her Earth was almost bare. It wasn't even waiting for the spring. A small piece of granite was pushed into her planet near the equator but nothing else was to be found. Almost naked. A faint glitter of gold. "How are you doing Nissa?" I asked her.
"It looks so different. I don't know what is wrong. I have never seen the earth like this before."
"Like what? What do you mean?"
"Oh." She struggled with her thoughts. "It just looks different." She rotated her planet around and around as if searching for something only she knew was not there.
"I've got everything I need for my Earth," Jill yelled out then glanced over at Nissa's planet. "It looks like everything on your Earth has died."
Serene walked over to Nissa's planet and asked, "Where are your flowers?
"I've got everything I need for my Earth too," Chance told all of us.
"I've got worn out places for my prickly seeds and places for my oceans and a giant lake with green all around it. See Lake Tahoe?" Jill rotated her Earth around so she could show me her sky blue Lake Tahoe glued near the equator.
Joshua came over to Nissa with a look of enormous concern. "There's no water on your Earth."
Nissa stared down at her Earth that was without an ocean, a port, a lagoon or even a creek. In fact, it looked like it was the moon to her. "I know what's missing." She finally spoke, mumbling to herself. "I know what's missing. It's the sky. I never saw the Earth without the sky before." For the next half hour Nissa quietly crafted small strips of colored tissue paper into various shapes. A sun- shaped disk of pasture-green tissue paper was glued next to her piece of granite making the rock look like a glistening cold mountain. Around its base she scattered delicate petals of bright yellow Sourgrass flowers on top of tiny drops of glue. Each petal spread out away from the granite's base making what looked like sheets and sheets of bee flowers; liquid gold for miles and miles. At a glance it looked like John Muir's Yosemite Valley in early spring a hundred and fifty years ago. After she placed a narrow creek-blue ribbon of tissue paper through her golden valley she abruptly stopped and informed me, "I am going to bring the sky to my Earth"
"What? Bring the sky? How can you do that? Bring the sky?"
"Well, like this." She picked and pulled a small bit of milky white down from a graybeard she had found in the meadow. She then pressed its softness onto her tissued creek-blue water, her focused fingers dripping with glue. "There. Now you can see the sky in the creek. I see puffy clouds in creeks and rivers all the time. That's what was missing." She looked up at me more satisfied now that she cashed in on a hunch. Now her Earth had a sky.
"Ah, yes. Reflection." I turned to the children and said, "Come and see how Nissa added a sky to her Earth."
"No two clouds are the same," Nissa told us as the children walked over to inspect her planet. "Some have faces like the moon and some look like rose petals drifting by. One day I was cloud watching with my mom and I saw a horse without a head at first. Then it turned into a shape of a lady with a long flowing skirt like a swirling dragon's tail."
"Clouds are different from dust. You can't get clouds in your eyes like dust," Joshua told us.
Just by listening to a child express what nature is up to gives the lesson a degree of informed analysis, depth instead of shallowness and understanding instead of attitude. We at StarChild Science are commited to pursuing a vigorous presence of children's explanations and observations in science activities. We can't loose sight of this one critical ingredient... the child's input! |
"How many eagles' nests are you going to put on your Earth, Chance?" Serene gathered her pieces of tissue paper and began tearing them into many different shapes for her oceans and her lakes. "I think I will put my lightcave near a lake." She cranked her neck slightly then added, "No, maybe at the South Pole." Young green shoots of redwood trees that were wound around toothpicks lay beside heron the table. There were seven of them, one from each of the seven redwood trees in the lightcave which was just behind her. Do you see the volcano on this little model of planet Earth? That volcano is made out of sculpey clay. The Greenhouse Effect and the Bathtub Effect...it is a loud message that a prompt start is needed in curbing and then cutting emissions if you want to cut the chances of passing dangerous thresholds. |
"I'm going to make one more nest. And a few more mountains." Chance revealed his plan. "But I can't forget a big river. Eagles love rivers. They can grab a whole salmon out of the water."
"I like learning about the plants the best. The gas eaters are what my sister calls them. The carbon dioxide gas eaters. And I like the volcanoes too." Serene arranged tooth-picked redwood shoots into a circle near her South Pole and poked them into her planet, securing them firmly with a dab of glue. She placed her marshmallow-white feather gently down into the bottom of her lightcave with such deep felt care she looked like, as Cervantes expressed in his Don Quixote, she was attending a benediction. It was easy to tell she silently wished the little feather well.
"This feather is very delicate. It will remind me of a prism and the lightcave. It will make my Earth the most beautiful Earth of all."Serene sighed deeply as she stared at her work. "I'm going to put this fossilly thing near my lightcave," She gently fingered a dry stony shell she found on her treasure hunt with such unplanned pleasure you'd have thought she was gluing an ancient relic from a lost civilization onto her planet. After the tiny shell was successfully joined to her Earth just above the South Pole she confessed, "I'm glad I'm not a fossil. I don't want to die."
"I wouldn't like to be a fossil either." Nissa overheard her.
"I don't want to die either. Ever."Chance lifted his planet up into the air again and gave it a flick of his wrist. It spun around and around causing it to gather an almost fluid look. Its oceans blurred with its mountains, its eagle nests with the North Pole. It soon was belted with a new yellow-gold; a dandelion gold of impressive dimensions. "Earth has a bunch of energies on it," Chance muttered just loud enough for Joshua to hear.
Joshua didn't reply immediately. It took some time for him to think about what Chance had said. As he worked on his planet, Joshua remembered the time he tried to catch light in a jar. Then he recalled the time he turned his teepee to face the east. He would never forget seeing a whole village of teepees facing the east. And he remembered making molecules. The gas eaters, the plants came to mind right after that before he answered Chance, "I know. The earth has a lot of energies."
"Sometimes I think all there is is energy in the air outside my room. A whole bunch of the stuff." Chance told Joshua his most recent thought about the matter. Joshua thought maybe Chance was right. Maybe the whole world and outer space is full of energy. He reminded himself to ask his dad tonight. He let the thought drift away before announcing, "I'm making a person. A explorer person," Joshua showed Nissa his explorer person made of Sculpey Clay. It had two arms that were bent in a prayer -like position and the head was in a bow. It was sitting on his planet near the equator.
"Where does your explorer person live?" Nissa asked him.
"Well, I don't know. Maybe I'll put him near the South Pole or maybe the North Pole. Or maybe I'll leave him in the middle. I don't know yet." He stopped a moment, recalling stories he had read with his father about explorers of long ago. "Maybe he will navigate the whole world and find out it is round like a ball. Like Magellan did a long time ago... a real, real long time ago, way before my great grandfather was born.."
Joshua's mother came over to me and asked, "What are we going to do with these models of the Earth?"
"We are going to create a water cycle. Then we are going to watch the Earth travel through darkness and into the first light of day," I told her.
"Water travels in a cycle?" Joshua asked his mother. "What's a cycle mom?"
"A cycle is like a bicycle wheel. It is round." Chance answered before Joshua's mother could respond.
"Water moves like a bicycle wheel? I've never heard of that before." Jill spoke up then turned to Nissa, "Boy, there's a lot of weird things in this science class that I've never heard of before,"
Joshua returned to his explorer person, trying to decide where to put the 'praying' sculpture. He found himself wondering about things he had not wondered about, ever. He wondered if pirates knew Earth was round? And he wondered about water. He had made water out of fire with the rest of the children but how did the explorers make water? Out of fire on the ship? Joshua's father had told him many times to never drink sea water. And he wondered about winds and storms at sea. He knew he was going to have to have a large discussion with his father tonight.
"This model is kind of neat. I can see the kids have many questions about the earth and animals from just looking at the model. But there is one thing I can't stop thinking about."
"What is that?"
"What is going to happen to Earth? There's so many problems. Big problems. Global warming. Weather changes. Species extinction. The Arctic warming."
"All can be solved through knowledge. What we must do now is educate our children by first laying out a building plan for them."
"A building plan? What do you mean exactly?"
"Laying out a basic structure in physical science that they can grasp. Once the building plan is understood we can lead our children to embrace an ecological viewpoint using the building plan StarChild Science offers. Look at each chapter of my book as a brick in the construction of a building plan. The first brick is light. Then, one more brick, the duality of magnetism and electricity. Then, the third brick, the atom. Then, the fourth brick, the molecules necessary for life Then, the fifth brick, the plants which are made of molecules, which are made of atoms and are able to capture the energy of sunlight to create carbohydrates and fuel the sixth brick, the animals and the last brick, the seventh brick, man. Once children understand these pieces we can lead them to understand an ecological framework that is necessary for sustaining a healthy Earth. Creating lessons in ecology for children is my next work."
"I never thought of ecology being a science my child could understand before. Do you think you can teach me and Joshua the fundamentals of ecology we must understand to produce a safe future?"
"From the very outset, StarChild Science was not created to reflect the neglect of science education around the world. Rather, it was created out of a deep concern about a diminished future for the next generation. We mothers around the world can overcome the perennial failure in science education by uniting with one another from the realization that it is imperative we not look to the school system with expectations. It is imperative that we not let our children wait for any school system to tailor science program after science program that produces mediocre results. We mothers must begin to embrace the reality of knowing how energy flows through the world at the family-table. We need to embrace a science program that makes sense under the current conditions of global warming. Any science program that begins exploring nature by first understanding the behavior of the energy of light, the energy that cradles reactions and forces in the physical world, is the only program that offers true sustainability to the next generation."
"For every person in the world to reach present U.S. levels of consumption
with existing technology would require four more planet Earths." The Future of Life by Edward O. Wilson
"We are smart. No? This one statement reveals beyond a doubt that we have learned how to create an economy-driven paradise." Judy Wilken MS
"I think I am like many other moms. I think all mothers want a safe future for their child. But, the majority of us don't know science so we think the school system knows how to teach science and what 'science' to teach. Now, it is obvious school systems are not in the business of producing excellent levels of understanding in science. Or math. Their track record is abominable in many countries, not just ours. Australia, England, Scotland, Ireland, Japan, are all crying 'foul' daily.
"Even though we have not had the training you have had in science, that doesn't mean we don't want a rich and safe future for our children. What you have given me is a template. I know that. A template to focus on and teach my child the necessary fundamentals he will need to help create a sustainable future for himself and his children."
"I really believe that all it takes is a concerted effort on the part of parents all over the globe to educate their children by using this template I have created."
"At first I thought it was going to be hard. But now, I don't think that at all."
"It isn't hard once you know the direction you have to move in."
"Yes. That's it. It is knowing the direction."
"You just have to decide to do it and begin. Have a prism available for your child; a microscope; a few magnets. Make a model of a beam of light with construction paper like we do in StarChid Science: Teach Your Own ebook . It will cost you a few cents. Then, begin leading your child into rich experiences with these tools of science. Nature will do the rest. Don't worry. Inquiry will happen, for this is what human beings do. We inquire. We ask questions. We explore. This is our nature."

40-Year Resident Stands Strong with 8-Foot Campaign Sign
A four-mile tour through Fox Point and Bayside showed many campaign signs, but two 8-foot Fox Point signs stood out among the rest. Take a look at the breakdown of political support across both communities.
For four decades, Elaine Fantin has been putting up political campaign signs in her Fox Point yard. Those signs have shifted support over the years, donning both Democrat and Republican messages, because Fantin considers herself an independent.
This year though, it's hard to miss the 4-foot by 8-foot "Save America, Vote Obama" sign at 385 W. Dean Rd., facing Maple Dale Middle School.
"Right now, the Republican party today is not the same Republican Party we voted for years ago," Fantin said. "I'm a firm believer in two parties and right now, I'm worried. That's what that sign reflects, we're really worried about the Republican Party and the tones."
Specifically, Fantin said she's concerned that Republican's call social security an "entitlement" she said government shouldn't get involved in religious issues.
"I don't think they have a plan correct for the United States today at all," she said.
But this isn't the only huge political campaign sign you'll see along Port Washington Road. Just one mile south, at 7440 N. Port Washington Rd., is David Konopka's sign, also 4-foot by 8-foot, sporting a red, white and blue "Romney/Ryan" design.
"I don't like Obama at all," Konopka said. "The spending, the debt that Obama keeps increasing ... "

Konopka and Fantain are not the only residents sporting campaign signs. A tour of four miles in Bayside and four miles in Fox Point showed a definite distinction between Democratic or Republican support among yard signage.
In four miles of Bayside, there were 34 properties that had political signs. President Barack Obama had only one-third of Gov. Mitt Romney's 31 signs. Also, some homes had more than one sign per property.
Here's the breakdown of political support:
Bayside | |
Candidate | No. of Signs |
Barack Obama | 10 |
Mitt Romney | 31 |
Tommy Thompson | 10 |
Alberta Darling | 2 |
Jim Ott | 6 |
Cris Rogers | 2 |
Tammy Baldwin | 2 |
In four miles of Fox Point, there were 33 properties that had political signs. The race for president, based on political signs, is closer in Fox Point, with Obama pulling 24 signs and Romney having 19. But again, some properties had multiple signs per yard.
Here's the breakdown of political support:
Fox Point | |
Candidate | No. of Signs |
Barack Obama | 24 |
Mitt Romney | 19 |
Tommy Thompson | 10 |
Alberta Darling | 0 |
Jim Ott | 3 |
Cris Rogers | 8 |
Tammy Baldwin | 0 |
Dan Sebring | 4 |
Dan Knodl | 1 |
Wisconsin is still considered a major battle-ground state for the presidential election on Nov. 6. Romney will hold a rally at State Fair Park Monday night and Obama will be heading up to Green Bay Tuesday.

But how can Fantin say that she doesn't believe that government should get involved in religious issues when that is just what the Obama administration has done with Obamacare's contraceptive mandate?

If a religious institution employs a person who shares their religious doctrine, then there is no conflict of interest, correct?
If a religious institution employs a person who does not share their religious doctrine, then do you think the government should condone that institution forcing their doctrine as it pertains to the health insurance portion of their compensation upon their employee? Why is the health insurance portion somehow different from the salary: if the former is freely restrictable by the employer, why could they not require the employee to, say, not buy any alcohol with their pay?
It's not a matter of religion; it's a matter of protecting employees from having their personal lives directed by their employer.

Save America by pretending to solves our country's ills with out of control spending and the 2000 plus page government tax called Obamacare? Really? Fantin never voted for a conservative, anyone today that supports Obama is a tax and spend liberal.

Unable or unwilling to tell the difference between too much spending and too little revenue caused by the Bush recession, Americans like tbs cheer for the shredding of the social safety net and wish to spend more on their own healthcare premiums to support ERs that currently bear the burden of giving poor-outcome treatment to those who can't afford it. And don't care that Romney has no reply whatsoever to how his budget is an embarrassment to his arithmetic teacher. And for candidates (Ryan) who wish the government to force women to carry their rapists' babies.
9:18 pm on Saturday, October 27, 2012
Sorry Sara, but interviewing someone about a yard sign is not real news. Your article could easily appear to be Obama propaganda. I thought that, as an honest news reporter, you were supposed to report the news, not create the news? When are you leading off a story about, and showing a photo of, a Romney sign property owner? Fair and Balanced you weren't on this one.
10:01 pm on Saturday, October 27, 2012
I believe that that person need not work at an institution if they don't like the health insurance offered there. They have that freedom of choice and the institution has freedom of religion. It's really quite simple.
Geoff Tolley

Such an institution can freely choose to obey the law and pay a fine (if it is a large enough place) for not offering health insurance at all.
Where is the line to be drawn on religious exemptions in health insurance coverage? What if an employer sincerely believes that cancer doesn't exist; is it alright that they should be able to excise oncology treatment from their health insurance offerings on that basis? If not, then the government is judging the validity of people's religious beliefs.

The best way to increase dollars to the gov't is by encouraging economic growth in the private sector. Obama/Biden have shown they are incapable of managing our government, are divisive and unable to work across party lines, demonstrate a lack of understanding of the needs of small businesses, and to top it all off...have shown no concern for budgeting whatsoever. They haven't even put a budget on the floor of the Senate since Obama's taken office and the one that Obama proposed in the House got not a single vote from Republicans or Democrats. Where is their plan for saving our safety nets??? They have none and they have the audacity to ask us to give them 4 more years? And I agree with MEB that Catholic Institutions should not be forced to offer & pay for abortions/birth control. Sandra Fluke is an entitled Georgetown University student, that is most likely on scholarship, buys a daily Starbucks and complains that her Catholic school won't PAY for her birth control pills. C'mon, your party has become the party of small...arguing about subsidizing Big Bird and Sandra Fluke while this country is headed for a fiscal cliff. I also find it highly offensive our leader finds time to be "eye candy" for women on the View, and spreads false narratives about how/why our ambassador/navy seals were murdered in Libya. The only way to SAVE AMERICA is new leadership...and next week the silent majority will get their chance to speak.

"The best way to increase dollars to the gov't is by encouraging economic growth in the private sector." - sure, no argument there, but the devil is in the details.
"Obama/Biden have shown they are incapable of managing our government, are divisive and unable to work across party lines" - that's a gross misrepresentation. If there were any good faith on the part of Republicans whatsoever, its leadership would not be saying things like "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president" (Mitch McConnell); they would not be secretly meeting to obstruct Obama even before he was sworn in (http://swampland.time.com/2012/08/23/the-party-of-no-new-details-on-the-gop-plot-to-obstruct-obama/). It is utterly unreasonable to blame someone for not working with people who are determined to say no to whatever they propose, regardless of its merits.
"They haven't even put a budget on the floor of the Senate since Obama's taken office and the one that Obama proposed in the House got not a single vote from Republicans or Democrats." - spending bills have to originate in the House, so unless they pass one the Senate will see neither hide nor hair of it. Besides, according to Politifact (http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/apr/06/mitt-romney/romney-says-obama-failed-pass-budget/), Obama has without fail submitted a budget to Congress. As for the no yea's, that is explained there too.
Geoff Tolley
12:56 am on Sunday, October 28, 2012
"Where is their plan for saving our safety nets???" - you saw some in the exact same Obamacare that you decry. Medicare is spared from shelling out $716 billion over the next 10 years through its various mechanisms, most notably savings agreed with healthcare providers since they stood to gain from the influx of new patients with new insurance under the new law. Repeal Obamacare - as Romney/Ryan have told us they want to do - and those savings are lost.
"Sandra Fluke is an entitled Georgetown University student, that is most likely on scholarship, buys a daily Starbucks and complains that her Catholic school won't PAY for her birth control pills." - er, perhaps you should tune out the Limbaugh.
"C'mon, your party has become the party of small...arguing about subsidizing Big Bird and Sandra Fluke while this country is headed for a fiscal cliff." - it was Romney who brought up Big Bird. No-one would know Sandra Fluke's name but for the Republican-run House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's refusal to allow her to testify and Rush Limbaugh's slandering of her. You're projecting the Republicans' attempts to distract with these things onto the Democrats, and as a result fall flat on your rhetorical face.
"I also find it highly offensive our leader finds time to be "eye candy" for women on the View" - I'm unfamiliar this issue is I'm afraid; do you have a link?
Geoff Tolley
12:56 am on Sunday, October 28, 2012
"and spreads false narratives about how/why our ambassador/navy seals were murdered in Libya." - what false narrative is that? The Benghazi consulate had more Diplomatic Service Agents than had been requested on the night in question (http://www.cnn.com/2012/10/19/world/africa/benghazi-documents/index.html); two of the dead were former SEALs, not active duty ones.
"The only way to SAVE AMERICA is new leadership...and next week the silent majority will get their chance to speak." - as I've said - and you've ignored - Romney is either incapable or unwilling of explaining how his tax cut plans lead to anything other than either a massive middle class tax hike or a budget deficit that would make even Dick Cheney cry. Your statement boils down to "I know Romney must be lying, but I trust him anyway". Which is ridiculous.

1) Read Woodward's book "The Price of Politics" He reveals O's inability to reach out and work across party lines. A strong leader rises above comments like Mitch McConnell. Siblings that fight are the result of a parent that divides and cast blame. Read Adele Faber's No More Sibling Rivalry :)
2) Obama's budget to Senate voted down 97-0 and then the following year his budget voted down 414-0 in the House. Obama is not serious about offering a realistic budget to floor. Your PolitiFact link rated Senate Dems not passing a budget resolution as mostly true. BTW: PolitiFact is run by Tampa Bay Times known as the "usually liberal" newspaper, take their ratings with a the grain of salt.
3) The passage of Obamacare is not a thoughtful plan to save Medicare/Social Security.
4) Fluke was featured at the Democratic Convention, I would not blame Rush Limbaugh (the conservative answer to Biden/Bill Maher) for keeping her in the spotlight. And Big Bird was featured in Obama ads/speeches after the debate, kind of petty to waste time/money on.
6) When the attack occurred in Benghazi, the Obama administration incorrectly blamed the attack on a video. They are either incompetent or covering something up. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/10/26/ed_klein_docs_show_obama_overruled_clinton_to_deny_security_in_benghazi.html
Let's agree to disagree, but I appreciate your effort.

1) It's not McConnell's comment that is a problem, nor is it isolated; it is the underlying hostility to any co-operation at all - whether the GOP thought it in the interest of the nation or not. You know what the principal difference is between Obamacare and Romneycare is? Romneycare covers abortions. Obamacare is a GOP policy for crying out loud, but it's only considered bad because he's not a Republican.
2) You just looked at Wikipedia and found that a paper across the country in 2003 once described the TBT as "usually liberal" and apparently that's good enough for you to ignore all the citations Politifact has. I can't help you if you're prepared to ignore citations and direct quotes because the messenger has any link in any way to something that someone once upon a time described using the 'L' word.
Geoff Tolley

3) It's incomplete, to be sure, but Obamacare makes huge strides towards resolving the Medicare Hospital Insurance trust fund (http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=3532). Blanket repeal would be amazingly wrongheaded and bring the date for HI's insolvency towards 2016 - so that's going to affect your over 55's after all. The *only* thing that Romney/Ryan have offered in its stead is the couponization of Medicare, which can only be described as the intending to bankrupt it as soon as possible as private insurers leave the less healthy/unprofitable seniors on the public plan which is left with the same per-capita funding but higher per-capita costs. Nutshell: Obamacare does something positive for Medicare's future stability, Couponcare does the exact opposite, and your conclusion is that _Democrats_ don't have a thoughtful plan?
4) You conveniently ignore my point. The *only* reason these are issues at all is because *Republicans* made them so, so blaming Democrats is bizarre. Big Bird is symbolic of Romney's disconnect from budget realities: somehow eliminating CPB's $400 million or so budget (taking the widest interpretation of his statement) is vital to our nation's fiscal health, but reconsidering pushing $2 trillion onto the Pentagon over its own recommendations is somehow not on the cards.

5) Um... okay.
6) From your RCP link, a conservative author notorious for making things up tells a Glenn Beck outfit that someone alleges that some documents exist that show the President denied requests for additional security; CNN reports a House Oversight Committee member heard two different people describe the security at the time as greater than that requested. Hmm...
On the video front, "We are working to determine the precise motivations and methods of those who carried out this assault. Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior, along with the protest that took place at our Embassy in Cairo yesterday, as a response to inflammatory material posted on the internet." (http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2012/09/197654.htm 9/12/12)

I am proud to be a conservative, why aren't you proud to be the "L" word? Bottom line Progressives believe in big government and conservatives in free enterprise. Conservatives believe that profits are good and fuel our economy, while progressives see profits as evil. Progressives put trust in the collective and unions, conservatives believe in the power of individual. A majority of our citizenry still believes in the "idea" this country was founded on and for a majority of our residents it has become increasingly clear that candidates like Obama and Baldwin want to see more and more power/resources in the hands of the wasteful/inefficient bureaucrats in Washington. On November 6th you will see a resounding rejection of Obama/Baldwin vision of government.

You clearly missed what I was trying to bring across with my phrasing, namely that you were using 'liberal' as a dogwhistle term to dismiss anything associated in even the most tenuous way with it so as to avoid addressing the question at hand.
I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but today's GOP has no conservatives left in its leadership - they're simply a bunch of radicals, the very antithesis of conservativism. Instead of attempting to retain traditional institutions, it's a party that wants to tear down Medicare and the rest of the social safety net contract, send us off a cliff of pollution catastrophe so the world will not be at all similar for our grandchildren, force them to be rapists' child factories and create a Randian society that has no grounding in any traditional value. They have abandoned truth and fact and replaced them with Gish Gallops for political expediency.
These are not conservative policies; they are the policies of _radicals_.
You want know what this country was founded on? You know what the Boston Tea Party was all about? Protesting an unfair tax break given to a powerful entity. If anything at all is American, that is.
I am a conservative, and I reject the GOP radicalism that has tainted the term.
2:33 pm on Sunday, October 28, 2012
Oh please, stop your fear mongering. Romney Ryan wants women to be rapist child factories? You, my friend are the radical. Take time to watch this and you will find Paul Ryan not to be the demonic politician you are trying to paint him to be:http://www.c-spanvideo.org/videoLibrary/mobilevideo.php?strid=PaulRyanCa

Field Asset Services
Foreclosures and abandoned properties are a reality in today's market. As reported in a recent LA Times article, "Foreclosures and resulting blight infest once-safe neighborhoods", the resulting vacancies present many challenges including increased crime, widespread blight, and financial and emotional burdens. The good news is we can overcome these obstacles, prevent vacancies from paralyzing our neighborhoods and begin to stabilize our communities with the right products and services.
FAS was founded 17 years ago with the sole purpose of preserving properties. We have been at the forefront of innovation since the day we opened our doors and continue to develop revolutionary services and products to help our customers more easily managed their vacant assets.
With our award-winning photo management technology, FASTrack™ Mobile, we can provide customers with a certified record of the exact time, date and location of work conducted in the field. This dramatically impacts the day-to-day maintenance of properties and also the reliability of inspections. Accurate inspections and regular maintenance will reduce the risk of future crime.
FAS has a comprehensive HOA and code compliance solution as well that includes a database of over 10,000 code enforcement personnel contacts that represent nearly 5,000 municipalities across all 50 states. In 2011 alone, FAS boasted a 91% success rate on mitigating code compliance fines and HOA fees on behalf of our customers. These relationships build knowledge that in turn reduces the spread of blight.
FAS also changed the property preservation game with Collateral Command, the first single-source solution to consolidate REO services in one package. Instead of needing an array of vendors, all separately performing servicing activities in an uncoordinated manner, FAS provides a single, integrated solution with centralized coordination and management. This ensures the right services are performed on the right property securing the value of a property sooner rather than later.
We apply this same framework to the pre-foreclosure market with FAS Avert™, a suite of services to help banks avoid foreclosure. Avert provides the knowledge and tools to improve loss mitigation success rates, reduce expenses and build greater collateral intelligence, in advance of property custody, ultimately avoiding new vacancies from occurring.
And, at the end of the day, FAS delivers these services with meticulous quality, flat fee pricing and a 3-day turn around, nationwide.
By partnering with FAS, together, we can make a difference!

Have questions about eBooks? Check out our eBook FAQs. Product DescriptionWhile the church today looks quite different than it did two thousand years ago, Christians share the same faith in Jesus Christ with those who lived in the Patristic era of the church. Yet, all too often we forget the lessons, theological and moral, that the Fathers of the church have to teach us.
Rediscovering the Church Fathers is an organized and eminently readable introduction that prepares readers to engage with church fathers who lived from AD 100 to 500. Michael Haykin surveys the lives and teachings of several Fathers, outlining their respective roles in theological issues such as baptism, martyrdom, church-state relations. He also documents how their leadership affected the church and its mission in the world. Specific fathers covered in this book include:
Evangelical readers interested in the historical roots of Christianity will find this to be a helpful introductory volume. Product Information
Publisher's DescriptionWhile the church today looks quite different than it did two thousand years ago, Christians share the same faith with the church fathers. Although separated by time and culture, we have much to learn from their lives and teaching. This book is an organized and convenient introduction to how to read the church fathers from AD 100 to 500. Michael Haykin surveys the lives and teachings of seven of the Fathers, looking at their role in such issues as baptism, martyrdom, and the relationship between church and state. Ignatius, Cyprian, Basil of Caesarea, and Ambrose and others were foundational in the growth and purity of early Christianity, and their impact continues to shape the church today. Evangelical readers interested in the historical roots of Christianity will find this to be a helpful introductory volume. EndorsementsHaykin has given us a user-friendly introduction to the early centuries of the Christian church. He illustrates the key elements of the churchs teaching by referring to the lives and teachings of major figures of the time, most of whom are little known to nonspecialists. Ordinary people need to know about these things, and this book is a great place to begin.
-Gerald Bray, Research Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School This gem of a study sparkles with polished clarity. Michael Haykin has skillfully unearthed buried treasures among early church leaders. As an experienced guide, he has drawn from his own personal journey and decades of scholarly research. He presents valuable Patristic insights into apologetic engagement, missional work, spiritual formation, use of Scripture, theological discourse, communal worship, personal piety, and approaches to suffering and martyrdom. From the apostolic fathers to the apostle to Ireland, Haykins investigations masterfully apply classical wisdom to contemporary concerns. -Paul Hartog, Associate Professor, Faith Baptist Theological Seminary In this introduction, Michael Haykin, an eminent evangelical scholar, opens the door to the riches of early Christianity for evangelicals in a splendidly concise handbook of sorts. Evangelicals, who are experiencing a renaissance of interest in the Fathers, need look no further than this volume for an introduction to many of the most significant figures in Christian history. Readers will be left wanting to learn even more. Evangelicals are indebted to Haykin for this well-written volume. -Steven A.

Widespread Panic: Dirty Side Down
ATO Records
Though most of the members of Widespread Panic have moved out of Athens, Ga., the band's eleventh studio release proves that it hasn't necessarily forgotten its roots. Dirty Side Down finds the band reuniting with longtime friend and Athens-based producer John Keane at his home studio for the first time since 2003's Ball —and in many ways, returning to form.
The dark, multi-layered compositions that made the band a household name are back. In fact, many of the tracks feel like they could have lived on 1999's 'Til The Medicine Takes, especially the haunting, stripped-down opening number "Saint Ex" and the album's title track. The result is not only a reminder of Panic's breadth of influences, but also its range of talents: all of the band members share songwriting duties and that unity shows—the band sounds more like Widespread Panic than anything it has released since founding guitarist Michael Houser's passing in 2002.
Panic's hard rock sound is temporarily set aside for keyboardist JoJo Hermann's often-overlooked flair for New Orleans jazz. He offers lead vocals—his first time singing lead on a record in seven years—on "Jaded Tourist" and a totally reworked "Visiting Day" that recalls the slinky trademark organ grooves of Booker T's "Green Onions." And Todd Nance steps out from the drum kit to provide rare lead vocals on his own composition "Clinic Cynic," a recently revived pop country-sounding tune, complete with pedal steel from Keane—though it's a weird and a bit startling to hear John Bell singing backup.
On his second album with the band, new lead guitarist Jimmy Herring shines on solos and at times channels Jerry Garcia on the Dead-sounding "St. Louis" and "Shut up and Drive." Two of the Panic's longtime collaborators also leave their marks on the album. Jerry Joseph's "North" appears for the first time on a proper record and the band nods to fallen friend Vic Chesnutt with his solemn, bittersweet—and previously unreleased—"This Cruel Thing," which also showcases local singer and Panic friend Anne Marie Boston's backing vocals.
The final track is Panic at its best: a catchy bluesy rock tune ("Cotton Was King"), with Herring shredding, anthemic southern lyrics and a lot of musical textures that show the band's range. As the band hearkens back to the old Panic way of doing things, perhaps Hermann says it best when he sings, "still shadows of our former self."

After a rash of thefts, police are warning iPhone users to be wary of strangers who come up to them and ask for the time or to borrow the use of their phone.
Montreal police community relations officer Pierre Fauchier at Station7 inSt. Laurent said three iPhone thefts were reported last week in his territory alone.
"It happens so fast, it has been hard to make arrests," said Fauchier, noting police are now turning their focus to prevention. Making matters worse: "Nobody has a watch any more."
"When someone asks 'Do you have the time?' and you pull out an iPhone, you can be caught off guard," Fauchier advised. "If you are using your iPhone, be discrete." The newer iPhone 4S is especially hot.
Although the problem has been seen across Montreal Island over the past few months, Fauchier said, many of the thefts in St. Laurent have been happening in and around the Côte-Vertu métro station on Côte-Vertu Blvd.

Asset-Conversion Loan
Definition of 'Asset-Conversion Loan'A short-term loan that is typically repaid by liquidating an asset, usually inventory or receivables. An asset-conversion loan is a type of self-liquidating loan and is repaid from operating cash flow; the repayment schedule is designed to match up with the receipt of the anticipated income. Asset-conversion loans are most commonly used by companies with highly seasonal businesses, such as those that earn most of their incomes around Christmas. |
Investopedia explains 'Asset-Conversion Loan'For example, let's say a toy company needs to pay its employees in mid-November, but it is cash-poor because it has laid out most of its funds to produce and market toys that won't be purchased until December. One option the toy company might explore is trying to get an asset-conversion loan to fill that short-term cash void. Depending on its creditworthiness, the toy company may have other short-term borrowing options, such as a line of credit, as alternatives to an asset-conversion loan. |

Burton Foxx Down Jacket - Women's
The Burton Women's Foxx Down Jacket delivers the shred-worthy functionality and warmth you need to extract fun out of winter's coldest days and the style you crave to look good doing it. And when the day is done, you can strip away the Foxx's weather-fighting features (powder skirt, Hand Panties, and hood) to rock a more casual look.
- DryRide Nanoshell technology goes beyond the standard laminated membrane by bonding hydrophobic whiskers to the individual fibers to actively lift and expel moisture
- Polyester cross-hatch dobby material is not only durable but gives the jacket a fashionable look and feel
- 600-fill down insulation makes this the warmest jacket in Burton's lineup.
- Satin lining gives the Foxx Jacket a deluxe feel for both days on the mountain and on the town
- Boyfriend Fit silhouette wears roomier and longer than any other fit in Burton's women's outerwear
- Mesh-lined armpit zips with snag-free zippers allow for hassle-free temperature regulation
- Removable Contour hood features moisture-repellent brim and micro-adjustable drawcord closure to ensure a stay-put fit without ever blocking your field of vision
- Removable Lycra Hand Panties wear over your hands and under your gloves to seal out wind and snow
- Removable powder skirt secures around your hips to keep you dry as you rip
- Jacket-to-pant interface connects the jacket to corresponding pants in an effort to block out invasive snow when you're getting pitted, so pitted
Bottom Line:
Everything it takes to be a Foxxy lady.

Play Like a Pro Hitting Camp (Sayre)
Monday, June 24, 2013
The Play Like a Pro Hitting presents this one day session that will provide players a sound learning environment.
Cost: $40.00
Click for more information
Coach, Thanks for a job well done! Nathan and I had a great time over the weekend. He learned some very good hitting, pitching, and fielding techniques and I learned a few new coaching tips as well. Coach Perry and the players did a great job with our group. If all works out with my Army schedule next year, I'll be back with Nathan, his older brother, and maybe even a friend or two and their sons. We've been to several other camps and it was nice to have the small group, personal interaction, and scheduled fun time. It was also nice to see the MU campus for the first time since graduation back in 1990. Complements to your wife for the BBQ chicken, pasta salad, and cupcakes. Chris Coach Hillson: Joe attended your summer camp. He was invited down south to a division 1 school's showcase/camp recently. It was a 2 day program, very intense, but i'll tell you, my son and i both agree your camp was more organized and skills based. They had too much down time. He walked away from your camp pumped! Buy the way, he left your camp and went right into senior legion all star competition. He was the youngest player on the team. Against bradford county, in a game leading to the championship, he went 2/3 with 4 rbi's. Other than that, due to his age, he was only used as a ph. He batted .375 with 6 rbi's in four games. He'll probably attend your summer camp again. He really enjoyed every minute of it. Jjpcrossfire

Winter is perhaps the best season for visiting and hiking the Southern Appalachians – the leafless trees offer stunning view of the mountain tops and great opportunities to view wildlife.
Pine Mountain State Resort Park became Kentucky's first state park in 1924 on land donated by local county officials. At first the park was called Cumberland State Park; the name was changed in 1938 so as to avoid confusion with the newly formed Cumberland Falls State Park.
During the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) constructed roads, bridges, shelters, and trails along with log cabins that are still a part of park's rentals.
Pine Mountain is located in south-central Kentucky not far from where Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia meet at Cumberland Gap and about 190 miles from Metro Louisville. (For detailed directions, consult Google Maps.)

Jet2: Manchester to Prague
About this flight
The carrier: Jet2
We like to think of Jet2 as the little budget airline that could. Based at Leeds Bradford airport in the north of England, Jet2 also flies to multiple destinations from hub airports across England, Northern Ireland and Scotland. Although Jet2 has been flying for nearly 30 years, it was called Channel Express (Air Services) for its first 20 years.
Slightly out of the media loop due to its headquarters in England's north, Jet2 nonetheless flies an impressive number of routes to destinations across Europe, with especially good connections to France, Spain, and Italy.
Jet2 has innovated quietly and consistently in a number of ways. In early 2007, they rolled out an in-flight handheld entertainment device.
Airline is innovative and particularly good for travel to and from England's north.
Jet2 should augment current destinations with more big-city destinations. Extra charges during booking can lead to a doubling of the original quoted price.
* Carry-on: One "small piece" of hand luggage not to exceed 10 kg.
* Checked: Up to 22kg. Each passenger can have up to three bags, none of which can weigh over 25kg. The cost is €14 for each additional kilo.
* Please visit Jet2's website for more information on its baggage policy.
You can choose seats at the time of your purchase on-line. Alternately, seats are selected on a first-come first-serve basis at the time of check-in. Seats with extra legroom can be reserved for €14-33.
Check-in and Ticketing
Online check-in is available from 28 days until 5 hours before departure. You must select it while you book your flight. If you forget to check-in online or don't print your boarding pass then you will be charged a €23 fee.
Be aware of the many additional costs when booking online.

Rainbow Engagement Session and Stop Motion Save the Date
May 15, 2013Today I'm sharing an adorable rainbow engagement session from Jessica Elizabeth Photographers. This couple's session was inspired by their adorable stop motion save the date they created (be sure to check it out below!) It is hard to get cuter than a sunny field of flowers and colorful balloons!
A Mint and Orange DIY Picnic Wedding
May 14, 2013Orange and mint is such a fun and fresh color combination, perfect for a summer wedding! It looks adorable in today's DIY picnic wedding. I love the bride's effortless braided hair and the fab chevron sheet cakes!
When we first got engaged, we talked about the type and size of wedding that we wanted, the first thing we both said was "casual and laid back". The ideal wedding and reception for us was being able to relax, and have a nice time hanging out with friends and family. With that picture in mind, my sister and I sat down and picked the colors, I knew I wanted a marigold/creamcicle orange (my favorite color) so Carol helped me pick colors that complimented that well without being too overwhelming (mint green and light tan).
After I settled on the location (La Entrada park) I focused on decor. I will admit, Pinterest was a lifesaver. I found so many little details that I was able to personalize and make our own, that I never would have thought of on my own. The best style to describe the decor for our wedding would be something like a mix of antique/rustic/picnic feel. All the decor I either made myself by modge-podging dollar store jars and glasses to be different colors, or I found at local thrift and consignment stores in Corrales.
One of my favorite details was finding antique handkerchiefs to give to each bridesmaid to hold with their bouquets, this was special because it matched what I was using as my "Something Old" my great grandmothers handkerchief, which was attahced to my bouqet as well. I had so much help from friends and family the weel of the wedding putting everything together, finishing last minute crafts projects that came up, it really made the whole process extra special and personalized. There was not one thing the day of that I had not planned with friends or family, seeing it all in real life as opposed to just the picture I had in my head was way more awesome that I could ever have imagined it to be.
