Comments about UNDER ARMOUR Women's HeatGear Sonic 2.5-inch Shorts:
These shorts are great! I have them in the black and the pink ones as well and absolutely love them. They are very comfortable and look great too. They don't ride up unless you are doing squats and other excersies of that sort, and that is inevitable for those types of exercises and will happen with shorts of this kind.

This was taken around 1889.
I think this one may have been sometime after that.
I expect this one was taken, with husband Fred Chapin, not long before his death in 1938.
Eada Belle Parrish was born on 13 Jul 1856 in Macomb in McDonough County, IL, to Benjamin Abraham Yeager Parrish and Minerva Ann Hamilton. She was the seventh of eight children I have documented.
I think she may have been a favored little sister for her older brother, Daniel Broder Parrish. When he married and began his family, he named one of his daughters for Eada.
Eada's father, Benjamin, was originally from Kentucky. When and why he removed to Illinois is something I don't yet know. But between the births of Daniel in 1848 and John in 1851, the family relocated. The 1850 census found them in Clark County, IN.
After Eada's mother died in 1865 in McDonough Co., IL, Benjamin Parrish remarried to Melvina Crume. They had three children in Illinois.
Benjamin Parrish moved his family back to Kentucky. In the 1880 census, he and Melvina were in Grayson Co., KY, and by the time of Benjamin's death in 1904, the family was in Butler Co., KY.
Some of the extended family must have made a pit stop in Missouri on the back to Kentucky. One of Eada's older brothers, Henry Clay Parrish, died there in 1894 in Vernon County.
And that's where Eada married Fred Chapin on Christmas Eve, 1885.
I can only account for two children born to Eada and Fred Chapin.
I wouldn't be able to account for one of them had it not been for a helpful email contact from another Parrish/Chapin researcher.
I knew that Hattie Belle Chapin was their daughter.
What I didn't know was that Hattie had a sister, Ruth, who died before the 1900 census. Since the 1890 census got either burned or waterlogged in a 1921 fire at the National Archives, I don't know when Ruth was born.
But now I do know why Hattie named her first daughter Ruth.
By 1900, Fred, Eada and Hattie had moved to Little Rock, Pulaski Co., AR from Bourbon Co., KS.
The next year, Hattie married Victor Claude Balding. Both families lived near each other, as census records show them both in Ward 5 in Little Rock through 1920.
Eada was widowed by Fred's death in 1938. She died on 2 Dec 1944 in Little Rock.
Eada is buried beside Fred in Oakland Cemetery in Little Rock, Pulaski Co., AR.

A Forum reader recently asked:
"I'm looking to see if anyone has any experience/scripts/etc. with populating distribution lists automatically, based on output from another data source (such as PeopleSoft). I'd also like to synchronize account info (phone numbers, name, office address, etc.) from this same source.
I've done LDIF imports to eDir from PeopleSoft before. Any tips on GroupWise? ?"
And here's the response from Shivaji Samanta ...
I import our student lists from PeopleSoft by running a SQL query to generate a text file, and then I use a text editor with macro capabilities to format the output into the GroupWise NAB format. You can then just import it into the Address Book.
I have not yet had to do it often enough to justify programming it, but you could look at these Cool Solutions Tools for more ideas:

This is the easiest side to bring to any get-together. It's not too early to be thinking about the upcoming holiday weekend!
Sometimes a bikini wax is a necessary evil, whether you're looking to hit the beach or just clean things up downstairs — but between the uncomfortable situation you're in and the potential for pain, it's not exactly the most pleasant…
Have you talked to your kids about the Oklahoma tornado?
A girlfriend's house party can often double as a buffet of hot guys — but the trick is in your approach.
You know what you need to cure that case of the Mondays? A playlist of awesome tunes to pump you up while you're tackling the day!
If you've had the day from hell — you spilled iced coffee on your fave blouse, your unread-messages inbox has reached its all-time high, and you spent your lunch hour in a text-message fight with your sister — it might not be the best…
This delicious recipe makes an excellent dinner, but you can also make it ahead, or double it and have the leftovers for the next day's lunch.
"bethenny" debuts September 9, and one blogger is already convinced she'd be the ideal guest.

I have read through every thread on SSL but not one person seems to have experienced this problem. The site reverts to http:// as soon as I move from the index page - I am manually typing https://allaboutwomen.com.au into the address bar.
I have successfully installed SSL cert on a dedicated Ip. Certifcate is working for the domain. I have checked my configure.php server settings. Have included below:
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://allaboutwomen.com.au/');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://allaboutwomen.com.au/');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://allaboutwomen.com.au/');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://allaboutwomen.com.au/');
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');
PROBLEM: as soon as I click on any catalogue link it always goes back to http - I have even tried commenting out the http urls and have tried making everything https - nothing I have tried is stoping the site from reverting to http. It is not going to https for the check out - only get https when I get to the Pay Pal payments gateway.
Does anybody know what could be the problem? I am tearing my hair out because I don't want people entering their personal information on a non-encrypted site.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who has any suggestions!!!

The Walking Dead now available on consoles in AU, BR, NZ
The Walking Dead has finally made it to consoles in a couple of patient territories – Australia, Brazil and New Zealand. Although TellTale released the game locally on iOS, Mac and PC, the console versions were put on hold over classification concerns, which, as it happens, may have been misplaced, as Australian officials elected to go with an MA15+ rating rather than the shiny new R18+ sticker. In any case, the episodic adventure is available in full on PlayStation 3 in all three territories and on Xbox 360 in Australia and New Zealand.

Lydiate made his Test debut against the Pumas 21 months ago, going on as a second-half substitute during Wales' 33-16 success.
And the Newport Gwent Dragons forward must now play his part in aiming to continue Welsh momentum generated by last weekend's punishing victory over England.
The 23-year-old blindside is a certainty to be named in Wales coach Warren Gatland's World Cup squad on Monday.
And he will board the flight to New Zealand later this month as one of only five Wales players who have started all three August preparation Tests, joining wing George North, centre Jamie Roberts, prop Paul James and lock Alun-Wyn Jones.
"I would like to play every game," said Lydiate.
"I had 10 minutes against Argentina the first time I played for Wales, so I am really looking forward to Saturday.
"They are very direct, their centres, and (fly-half) Felipe Contepomi is a class act. He's a dangerman, so we have to keep him quiet as best we can because he will run the show for them.
"Their back-row is full of big and powerful men, so we have got to be able to match them.
"There are similarities between England and Argentina when it comes to size. They are all very big, powerful men.
"It's hard to say whether they are more athletic than the English back-row but, if they have more footwork, they are going to be a lot harder to stop than players just running straight, playing one-up rugby."
With Sam Warburton, Wales' World Cup captain-in-waiting, rested from the Millennium Stadium encounter, Lydiate packs down alongside 98 times-capped Martyn Williams and number eight Andy Powell.
Williams and Powell are both possibly on the fringe of World Cup selection, given Lydiate, Warburton, Ryan Jones and Toby Faletau look set to claim four from an anticipated six back-row places.
That seemingly leaves the likes of Williams, Powell, Justin Tipuric, Josh Turnbull and Gareth Delve contesting two remaining spots.
"I am really looking forward to playing with Martyn," added Lydiate.
"He is a legend, so I am excited about this chance. I have only played alongside him once before, so it will be brilliant for me and it would be nice to, hopefully, get a win.
"It's going to be a physical encounter. Argentina are renowned for having a good set-piece, and it will be tough, especially up-front.
"We are definitely going to be making multiple tackles. We have to make sure our defence is almost better than last week against England.
"We have to make sure everyone is putting their bodies on the line. It's going to be brutal."

Thank you, guys. OK, as far as the panel is concerned I see now. Seems like in my playing around with settings I was changing the colours of the panel but I wasn't seeing it because large parts of the pane were obscured by a huge spacer. (Gonna take me some time to get my head around this). But Kori - some of the emerald themes look great. But here comes another stupid question - how to I actually get to apply any one of them? I can see no means of doing that. OK, I'm tired and should be in bed. But that's just and excuse really. Help!
I opened the xfce menu, then opened the xfce 4 settings manager, then clicked appearance. The first tab by default displays six different color themes that change the color and look of the panels and windows, borders, etc.I would also like more theme control. What I want to know is how you can add more themes to the existing six. Thanks anyone for suggestions.sasdthoh

Feathery Carvings Amazing to Behold
by Alvin Benn
John Sheffey's silent owls, eagles, ducks, hawks and cardinals look so real you just want to reach out and stroke their feathers.
Sheffey sees that kind of reaction all the time and just smiles. He knows, in a way, the urge to touch is a reward for the countless hours he puts in to create his realistic-looking feathery works of art.
"The man is absolutely amazing," said Black Belt Treasures Director Sulynn Creswell. "There's no other way to describe him. His attention to detail is phenomenal."
What makes it even more amazing is the fact Sheffey - a 70-year-old Tennessee native and retired Army colonel who saw his share of combat in Vietnam - taught himself to do what he does so well.
The training he received came from his eyes as he examined books and blueprints. The birds helped too, circling overhead or coming to rest on tree branches at his 230-acre spread in south Dallas County.

I'm Doug Whiteman with Bankrate.com and here is your weekly look at mortgage rates.
The average interest on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose 3 basis points this week to 3.79 percent. The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage rose 2 basis points to 3.02 percent and the average rate for 30-year jumbo mortgages rose 2 basis points to 4.19 percent.
The 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage slipped 1 basis point to 2.75 percent.
Talk of spending cuts is heating up once again in Congress, so expect some uncertainty that may affect rates in the weeks ahead. As investors tuck their money into safe-haven government bonds, we're sure to see mortgage rates fluctuate.

Back To The Debt Debacle: A Look At What's Changed
By David Welna
Originally published on Thu August 2, 2012 9:53 am
It was just a year ago that the House rejected a deal with President Obama and threatened to allow the U.S. to default on debt obligations coming due. The Tea Party refusal to raise the debt ceiling led to a downgrade in U.S. credit and a selloff in the markets. NPR's David Welna reports on what's changed since then and what hasn't.

Rated PG-13. Dove approved (12+). Widescreen. Approx. 109 minutes. Bonus Features:
DVD playable in regions 1-6. Learn more about DVDs and Videos
Product Information
Related ProductsAbout the MovieOCTOBER BABY is a coming-of-age story of Hannah, a beautiful 19-year-old college freshman. In spite of her energetic (if somewhat naïve) personality, Hannah has always felt like an outsider. Something is missing. She has always carried a deep-seated sense that she has no right to exist. When she discovers she was adopted it comes as a shock, but Hannah's world is rocked even more when she learns why she was never told before - because she was the survivor of a failed abortion. Desperate for answers, she embarks on a road trip with some friends (including her oldest and closest friend Jason) to find her biological mother. In the process she unexpectedly discovers hope, love and forgiveness. This uplifting and beautiful film may change the way you look at the world, your loved ones...and life.

We are going to pulverize this Earth and squeeze out every last economically recoverable drop of burnable solids, liquids and gasses. Nothing will stand in the way of that.
The real debate should be about what we do with the energy we are using up. We can talk about whether it's a good idea to use it up as fast as we possibly can, but fast or slow, what are we doing with it ? Are we doing anything with it that will help us get by when it's petering out ? Or, not? Right now it looks like not.
We are not going to extract every last drop because we will start feeling the effects of agricultural collapse long before that stage. But it is apparent that only when we have serious pain then we will get action on climate change. For now it is just academic flatulence that the elites can ignore. The left and the right are both united in the lemming rush over the cliff.

I'm reading the new book by Chip and Dan Heath ("Switch" and "Made to Stick") called "Decisive: How to Make Better Decision in Life and Work". So far another very good book from them. Here's a fun stat they shared: according to some study done, CEO's of large companies pay more for acquisitions based on how much attention they've received from the press. This presumably pumps up their ego, leading to a willingness to pay more. On average, CEO's of acquisitions paid a 4.8% premium for each…

New single "Finally Found You" available on iTunes.
awesome! < 333
Even though I wish it was me, they are sooo cute together. I wish I could find a relationship as strong as theirs. As much as I would love to be Mrs. Iglesias, I hope to hear wedding bells for them. Unlike a lot of couples, they stick together. They are awesome! Yay Enrique!
She really needs to smile- like uhmm hello!!! does she realise who her man is?!
I totally agree. If I was dating him I dont think I would ever stop smiling. Wouldnt that be fun to say though. "Who is your boyfriend?" "Oh Im dating Enrique Iglesias" Why wouldnt you smile!??
Its understandable though. Being stalked by paparazzi and fans can get on your nerves especially whe you're in the middle of a project. The important thing is even when he is annoyed he is still wicked adorable. :)
Hahah AGreee
If I was as beautiful as her, rich, AND most importantly dating Enrique, I would smile all the time. She is def lucky to be her.
haha, LOL!
So cool pictures! :D

One of the main aspects that have always made PCs stand out, was that consumers had the option of either buying a pre-built machine, or building their own. Last week we took a look at some of the basic components of a PC and it can be surprisingly easy to build a PC yourself from those components. This week let's look at the decision making process involved when choosing whether to build or buy that new computer.
SummaryThe HP Pavilion Sleekbook 15 is an interesting machine. It is not small, but somehow its thin and light. It is not super expensive but somehow still manages to still pack power and not feel at all cheap. At first glance it is not super fancy, yet it still packs touchscreen functionality. It is a machine that is really full of surprises A lot of things this PC can do I would expect from a machine twice the price. In this price range, other machines will have a few of these features but this one seems to have it all. Big screen, thin and light, good power, and a touchscreen. It a great well rounded machine.
By Rajio from 06-05-2013
So, you know how to browse the internet, listen to music and check your email but do you really know much about the ins and outs of computers? Do you know what the major components are? Do you know what all those acronyms and terms mean? Do you know all the different types of connectors? Over the next weeks we're going to start looking at computers starting with the basics, and going through everything step by step. By the end you should know a whole lot more about computers, how they work, how to build them, how to upgrade them, and what everything does. To many people they're just big mysterious boxes but really they're a lot more straightforward and understandable than most people think. There is no reason to be intimidated at all. We'll take baby steps and the more you take, the more comfortable you'll be with them.

If you're like most people, the myth of multitasking is alive and well where you work. It's not as simple as refusing to multitask and reminding yourself to focus. There are obstacles in the way, and the biggest one lives inside of you.
Find out the biggest obstacle standing between you and a more focused life in my new brief video.

[Solved] creating a registration/login system, wondering why problem is happening
So, my problem is that i have created a user registration and login system with php and mysql, whenever i am testing a page my username and displays a value of "root" (phpmyadmin login name) and a password ***********. I would post the code but there is ALOT but im just trying to see if this is a common issue or something that has an appearence with php and mysql. I normally use asp.net so i'm new to the open side. Loving php and mysql so far though...This is common for login page fields that use username in its name, even if slightly different. If you want to prevent this on your login form add autocomplete="off" to the form tag.<form name "login" method="post" action="validator.htm" autocomplete="off">
Or try renaming the field to something like usrid
Actually, it looks like if you have a field type = password, the browser assumes the other field to be for a username, no matter what you call it. But, the autocomplete="off" does work.Elaborating on @osiris 's comment:
Just a guess.. but if you are testing on localhost, maybe its your browser completing the form using the username/password you had asked it to save for phpmyadmin. The browser considers localhost/phpmyadmin and localhost/yoursite as the same website. The Try testing it on a different browser and check if the problem still exists.

The Charles B. Morris Memorial Chapter 710 of Vietnam Veterans of America honored those who died in service to the United States at the Carroll County Governmental Complex on Memorial Day. Following a short address by Frank Sayers, president of Chapter 710, a wreath was laid at the Vietnam Memorial outside the complex.
"We are here to honor our fallen heroes that gave the supreme sacrifice in Vietnam," said Sayers.
Following a poem read by Sayers and a moment of silence "for the POWs, MIAs, and men and women who fought for our freedom," the wreath was laid. Ruth Bennett and Linda Barnett then played "Taps," as the few on hands stood at attention and saluted.
Outside of the members of the Vietnam Veterans of American, their families and the press, no one attended the ceremony. The day before at Monta Vista Memory Gardens in Galax only three people attended a similar ceremony.
"The first year we did real good, had guest speakers and a good turnout. We kept asking them back, but nobody had the time. It makes you question yourself," said Sayers. "It takes a lot of time and hard work and expense to do this. The wreath cost $65. The guys at (Monta Vista) really helped us out. They put up over 700 flags, which we paid for."
"It takes an event like 911 to bring (patriotism) to the forefront," said Bill Edwards, vice president of the Vietnam Veterans of America.
"But after the dust settles, it's forgotten," added Sayers.
Also in attendance from the Vietnam Veterans of America were Kern Gravely and Ron Cummings.
Of the 12 men listed on the Vietnam Memorial, five are from Hillsville - Lonnie R. Bates, Joseph Bowman, Tommy B. Dickerson, Clifford Earnhardt and Richard T. Warner. Rounding out the roll call of those who gave their lives for their country are Richard Harrell and Harry L. Sumner of Fries, and E.G. Akers, Dickey L. Cooley, Richard Lundy, Donald L. Stoneman and Myron Williams of Galax.

Lesbos Attractions
Area of island: 1,630 sq. km/629 sq. miChief town: MytilíniLésbos (popularly called Mytilíni; Turkish Midilli, Italian Metellino), the third largest of the Greek islands (after Crete and Euboea), lies in an angle formed by the Anatolian coast, which is only 10km/6mi away on the north side of the island and 15km/9mi away on the east side.
Highlights: |
North of the Island
Paralía Thermís
12km/7.5mi northwest of Mytilíni is the little spa of Paralía Thermís, near which is the prehistoric settlement of Thermí, dating back to 2700 B.C.
Mantamados & Mithimna
The road from Mytilini to Mantamádos runs 38 km/24 mi), with an icon of the Mother of God which is venerated as wonderworking (pilgrimage on November 8), and Sikaminéa (50 km/31 mi), birthplace of the contemporary writer Stratis Mirivillis, and then, following the coast for part of the way (some stretches in poor condition), to Míthimna (63 km/39 mi), also known as Mólyvos, on the site of ancient Methymna. Above this little port is a Gattelusi castle, from which there is a view extending to Asia Minor. As H. G. Buchholz explains in his monograph on Methymna, the first settlement was established here in the third millennium B.C. in the area known as Palaiá Míthimna, to the east; in the latter part of the second millennium it was moved to the present site, and in the first millennium the city developed extensive trading connections, reaching in the Hellenistic period as far afield as Egypt.
Míthimna (Methymna - Fortress)
Built on top of a hill is the 13th C fortress of Methymna. The exact date of the structure is under debate but by 1373 it was being restored and in the late 15th C it was under Turkish occupation.During the summer months cultural events are held in the courtyard.
Mithimna (Methymna) Archeological Collection
The Mithimna Archeological Collection is in the City Hall at the picturesque town and fishing port of Mithimna.
Petra & Kalloni
Petrá lies at the foot of a high crag topped by the interesting church of the Panayía (approached by a stepped path). Nearby is Kalloní, 4km/2.5mi north of the Gulf of Kalloní, which reaches 21km/13mi inland.While in Petra, it is worthwhile to visit a private collection of Theophilos' works, as well as the Monastery of Panayía Glykofílousa, built on a rock with 114 steps.
Limonos Monastery
Near Kalloní, on Lesbos, is Límonos monastery, with a church containing a richly carved iconostasis and completely preserved wall paintings. Only men may enter the church; women are admitted only to the outer monastic buildings. The monastery's large library, its archives and a museum are housed in new buildings.
Lámpou Mílli
At Lámpou Mílli (also called Mória) in southern Lesbos are remains of a Roman aqueduct.
West of the Island
Going west from Mytilíni, we come to Skalakhorió (54 km/34 mi), just beyond which a poor road goes off to the remains of ancient Antissa (about 8 km/5 mi).
Perivolis Monastery
Beyond Vatoúsa (61km/38mi), to the right of the road, is Perivólis monastery (17th century frescoes). Beyond the new village of Ántissa (69km/43mi), on Mt Ordímnos, is Ypsiloú monastery (museum containing 12th century manuscripts and vestments of former patriarchs; magnificent views).
Sígri, is a little seaside resort on the west coast with a beautiful sandy beach in a sheltered bay. In the village itself (in the main square) and to the southeast (shortly before Ypsiloú monastery, on the right; one and a half hours walk) are petrified trees, buried under volcanic ash at least 700,000 years ago.
From Eressós (98km/61mi; museum) it is worth making a detour to Skála Eressoú (101km/63mi), on the south coast, which has a beautiful sandy beach. This is the site of ancient Eressos, birthplace of Sappho and Theophrastos. To the west, near the beach, are the ruins of an Early Christian basilica known as the Skholí Theofrástou, the School of Theophrastos.Also in the village are remains of another three-aisled basilica dedicated to St Andrew, with a large mosaic pavement, much of which has been preserved. Behind it is a small museum containing local finds.
Eressos Archeological Museum
The Archeological Museum in Eressos contains ceramics, Greek sculptures and fragments of Roman mosaics.
South of the Island
An interesting trip in the south of the island of Lesbos is to Ayiássos (30km/ 19mi), on the northern slopes of Mt Ólympos (967m/3,173ft). Its central feature, the church of the Dormition (last restored in 1816), attracts thousands of pilgrims on the feast of the Dormition (August 15th). In the monastic buildings is a small but very interesting museum (good icons, liturgical vestments and utensils; folk art). Fine pottery and homespun cloth can be bought in the shops of the little town.Folk traditions revive here in the festivities of Profítis Ilías and the Madonna, also in the carnival known as "Vallia".
From Ayiássos it is worth driving to Polykhnitos (24km/15mi), its port of Skála Polykhnítou and the Damándri monastery (frescoes of 1580). Beyond Polykhnitos, to the south, is Vaterá, with a good beach.
For an excursion to the south coast of Lésbos, leave Mytilíni on the road which runs along the north end of the Gulf of Iéra and down its west side to the beach of Áyios Isídoros and the little town of Plomárion (42 km/26 mi).
Bay of Gera, Greece
The Bay of Gera, near the town of Gera, is a scenic coastal area on Lesvos. Of interest at the bay is an old monastery.
Ayia Paraskevi Bull Fair & Feast
The annual Bull Fair, with sacrifice of calf, equestrian events and folk songs and dances is held at Áyia Paraskeví on Lésbos annually in late May or early June.

RECALLED: Troy Mayor Janice Daniels Voted Out of Office
A majority of Troy residents voted to remove embattled Troy Mayor Janice Daniels from office Tuesday.
The people of Troy voted 52 percent to 48 percent to recall Mayor Janice Daniels on Tuesday.
The votes were 20,763 to 18,993, according to unofficial results from the Oakland County Clerk, with all precincts reporting.
It all started with a Facebook status update containing a gay slur that then-private citizen Daniels posted on her wall in June of 2011.
Then, on Dec. 2, 2011, just weeks after she was sworn in as mayor of Troy, the Facebook post was found, shared, and shared some more, quickly garnering national media attention.
Residents were angry. A recall effort was mounted. Nearly 9,000 valid signatures were collected to trigger the Nov. 6 recall election.
"I'm elated, over the moon," Recall Janice Daniels co-founder John Kulesz said as recall volunteers celebrated into the night at Joe Kool's in Troy. "It's amazing to do something that the majority of the people of Troy responded to in such a positive way."
For the latest Troy news and information, follow Troy Patch on Facebook and Twitter.
"We're so happy that the people of Troy have realized that Janice is not the best person to represent them, and that Troy can and will do better," Recall Janice Daniels co-founder Matt Binkowski said.
"I'm cautiously optimistic," said Neil Yashinsky, a recall supporter who ran for a seat on Troy City Council a year ago. "I feel like we're still a very evenly divided city in terms of pressing issues, and I hope that we have the foresight as a community to stay focused on what we agree on than what we disagree on."
Once the election is certified, the mayor will be removed from office. Then, Troy City Council will begin the process of finding a replacement.
"We're ready to start the next chapter in the City of Troy," Mayor Pro Tem Maureen McGinnis said.
Councilman Jim Campbell agreed, saying, "We're going to put all this stuff behind us and start thinking about the citizens instead of the ideology of Mayor Daniels."
"It feels good. We've gone farther than we ever expected to," Kulesz said.
Daniels could not be reached for comment late Tuesday and did not return calls from Troy Patch.
Complete coverage
Since her anti-gay Facebook comment went viral, Daniels has remained the center of controversy after voting against the Troy Transit Center (a scaled-down version was later approved), telling the Troy High School Gay-Straight Alliance she would bring in an expert to tell them the homosexual lifestyle is "dangerous," comparing the dangers of homosexuality to the dangers of smoking cigarettes on a radio show, writing a lengthy position paper some viewed as personally attacking city employees and council members, and engaging in an argument with 2012 Troy Distinguished Citizen Mary Kerwin over the origin of her award while while presenting Kerwin with a proclamation during an October Troy City Council meeting.
4:01 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
It is not just her!
I hear good news and this is a great start. But please shine the light in there even brighter now. This recall proves the people still make the final call and can hold officials accountable since most refuse to do so on their own. This is also notice to other officials that their perversions of power and any attacks of personal freedoms or lifestyle will not survive in the light of day. Follow the money.

Great news to wake up to. I am sure that the city council will move forward together to name a mayor for the next year until the regular November election, following the city charter. And to forestall arguments from Daniels' supporters that they will be split, here is what Dale Murrish had noted this summer about the way the council works well together:
Dale Murrish
6:47 pm on Tuesday, July 17, 2012
I've attended a lot of council meetings recently (starting with opposing the wasteful spending for the transit center) and have been impressed with the way ALL SEVEN council members have been working together to solve Troy's problems.
6:25 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
It's a beautiful new day in Troy. I hope the drama is gone and we can all return to our lives and doing what is best for Troy and our families. God bless our Democracy.
Barbara Harrell
5:58 pm on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
I thought we were given a constitutionally-limited representative Republic? You know, like we say in the Pledge of Allegiance and like Ben Franklin told an inquisitive citizen back during our nation's founding? That protects the minority from the majority....like when six wolves and one sheep decide what's for dinner.
Then again, now that I think about it, maybe our Republic has really devolved into more of a mob-ocracy after all.
7:01 pm on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
I love how people like Barbara Harrell are all about protecting the minority from the majority except when it comes to things like gay marriage, abortion and where muslims can build mosques. Then majority mob rule is just super. But I guess Barbara would say that when it comes to those things, God whispers his wishes in their ears and they're just doing what they're told.
2:50 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
Babs, I have learned the quickest way to flush out someone like you or Janice is to us the word "Democracy." ;-)

This is great news for Troy. I'm very proud of my city, that this improbable exercise of voters rights under the constitution of Michigan was successful. I am very greatful to the Recall Team.
I really don't know if I will be spending too much time here. This was my issue. I feel it has been resolved to the benefit of Troy and hope everyone can move past this disturbing time.
8:13 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Does this mean that Dale will keep finally keep his nose out of Troy business?

8:31 am on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
For the first time in a few years, I feel proud to live in Troy. We need to move forward, focusing on the values that brought us together. Instead of focusing on the ideology of a minority and allowing them to squander our intellectual capital in this community, we need to unite the citizens of Troy to resolve the still difficult issues this city faces. Thank you Troy!

My thanks to the Recall organizers, the volunteers, and the citizens of Troy!! It's nice to know I live in a city where bigotry, ineptitude, and a lack of judgement will not be tolerated in it's elected officials!

Over 18,000 voted to keep her? What a crazy world.

What a waste of time and money!
A few facts for you recall fans:
700 voters in 2011 didn't care enough to even vote for Mayor although did turn in a ballot and voted for something.
Roughly 10,000 voters showed up in 2012 that didn't care enough to show up in 2011. Apathetic and pathetic.
She only won in 2011 by 1,234 votes, and only lost in 2012 by 1,770 votes. If 13% of the people who couldn't have been bothered to vote in 2011 had showed up and voted against her the recall wouldn't have been necessary.
And you recalled her entirely for reasons, acts, and statements that were either made before the 2011 election or were consistent with her actions and positions prior to election.
I wonder what GOOD things could have come from the money, time, and resources put into the recall campaign.
And by the way, you the people don't get to pick your new mayor, the fabulous Troy City council does. Good Luck!
Lucille Musser Arking
12:27 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
Your figures are wrong . further more money spent for recall was by donation and unless it changed recently that is those donars right. The election was already being done . Furthermore we who supported the recall at least myself regreted that we left Matt Pryor make our city the laughing stock for 4 years and was the root of later problems. I agree about those who did not bother to vote but unfortunately that is a problem in local election across the country.

Thank God...Our city has no room for narrow mindedness...City of Tomorrow, Today!!
7:03 pm on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
OK Troy City Council are you done wasting our(Troy city resident for now) time and money with your frivolous agenda to "out" the Mayor that was voted in by "POPULAR VOTE? You got what you wanted from day one when your "chosen one" did not receive enough votes to win a term for office. Now let's "Grow Up" and get down to some business like restoring some form of professionalism that you are being paid to display. I am embarrassed to say that I'm a Troy resident. The City Council meetings I have attended resemble those that I have seen on national TV of another fine city near here, Detroit. Concerned in Troy!!
Chris P.
8:09 pm on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Troy City Council didn't organize the Recall. And it didn't cost Troy tax payers a cent. It was a grassroots effort. And I agree the council meetings are embarrassing; the main reason why is now gone. It's unfair to paint the entire council with her lack of decorum. They conducted themselves with professionalism, despite her. Instead of criticizing them, you should thank them for enduring it.
Lucille Musser Arking
12:31 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
City council had nothing to do with the recall . You must be one of thos low information voters . First duty of a voter is know how your government works .
Lesson 1 : Recalls are done by the voter petition .
Seymour Hundley, Jr.
6:03 pm on Wednesday, November 28, 2012
The vote of the citizens of Troy was to vote out of office an insensitive mayor. If you can't represent all of the citizens of our City you don't deserve to be our leader. Former Mayor Daniels lacked a necessary the quality of leadership to know her people and represent them all regardless of sexual orientation, race, religion or individual differences. Some of those who voted for her may have had alternative lifestyles, but agreed with her "conservative" views until she exposed her true colors. Understand, I am not one of her supporter and agree with the "majority" who demonstrated how term limitation really works. I pray that our future politicians will take notice that certain expression of their personal beliefs will effect their political expectations.
Sarah Franklin
7:14 pm on Wednesday, November 7, 2012
Hooray!!!! The wicked witch of the Board Room was given her token broom yesterday and is being wisked away. Perhaps the next Mayor elect should be given a personality and intelligence test prior to being allowed on the ballot. As for Janice may you have strong winds on your back as you fly to another pasture far from Troy.
Wiley Coyote
11:37 am on Thursday, November 8, 2012
Janice Daniels was not the only one practicing the politics of crazy on the council. She was just louder about it. Councilmen Tietz, Henderson and to a slightly lesser degree, Fleming were right there with her 99% of the time. They just had the good sense to keep their mouths shut.
Janice was a truly amazing example of someone with aspirations far beyond her intellect. It's incumbent on all of us to read up on, find out about, and if necessary, reject people running for office who don't understand or don't want to follow the roles and rules of the offices they're running for (Daniels' Troy's Marriage Policy--for example).
We can't go to sleep on these people ever again.
John David
3:30 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
Wiley, Daniels really upset people because she used her position to push her ideology, and did it when Tietz, Henderson and Fleming did the right thing for the city, like approving the budget. They may work with groups espousing their views, but have seemed to not highlight them in public the way Daniels did. If she'd shut up about city workers and Szerlag, rather than behave imperiously and arrogantly, if she'd been understanding towards the students and helped regarding suicide and not pushed her anti-gay views, if she'd not reinforced her anti-gay views and had not invited outsiders who presented racist arguments against the transit center, the recall petitions might have failed. If she'd shut up and not said being gay is a health risk like cigarettes, or insulted Kerwin, if she'd learned how to run a meeting and behaved like a professional, normal person, and if she hadn't defended bigoted friends like Paul Smith, she might have avoided recall. But she didn't. And so far Tietz, Henderson, and Fleming haven't done as she did, although I doubt I'd vote for them knowing their views. Reasonable, electable, alternative candidates need to come forward at election time
4:55 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
I have lived in Troy for over 27 years. I will be honest, I did not vote in 2011 because I really did not care who was mayor or what "party" controlled the city. In fact out of all of the mayors Troy has had since I moved here Janice is the only one I know the name of.
Why? Because up until then things had run well enough. So long as the roads are plowed, the sewage is taken care of, the water is running, the Police / Fire / EMS come respond fast when called and do a great job when they arrive, the schools do well, we don't have smog over the city, etc etc. And it's all done without turning the national spotlight on the city in a bad way or causing a bunch of drama.
But our former mayor could not just do that. That's why I voted to recall. It had nothing to do with her political affiliation.
I hope the remaining members can get things back to the way they used to be where the city focuses on the business of the city.
So long as the dram is low enough that I don't hear about it on CNN and the city is running smoothing enough to not cause major problems; I don't care who runs the city or what is zoned what or where we build this or that. Please let me go back to not caring about city politics because I really hate politics. :P
Lucille Musser Arking
12:44 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
Andrew , Iwish to inform you several things
1. Our charter makes our elections in Troy non-partison .
2..Our city government statred to have problems that had potential in long terms problems right around 2000
3. All politics are local and that means that they are very important to watch because they effect your everyday life . For instant if we had well infiormed voters they majority would have never voted for the millage cap which very shortly before the real estate crash would have prevented the finanical problems we are digging ourselves out of . That is because it erased uncollected approved millage which our wise managers and council kept for emergencies . We just now awarded that short sighted council person who put that on the ballot to the state legislature so he can bring his short sighted visions to the state. Gee Thomas Jefferson must of been correct when he said '"A democratric republic cannot exist with an uneducated voter".

It is not wise to hate what controls you liberty , you daily life etc .

Perhaps John David will support my nominee for mayor. I doubt if Wiley will.
John David
8:07 pm on Thursday, November 8, 2012
That remains to be seen. You might provide the name of your nominee to the 6 council members to see if they care, and consult him yourself to see if he's even interested, so that he isn't embarrassed by being named or not.
Lucille Musser Arking
12:47 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
I surely would not and I would get a truck and drive it around Troy to let the people know how poorly prepared you are to be mayor .
John David
9:19 pm on Monday, November 12, 2012
Dale, if I heard right, you suggested Fleming for mayor and Ed Kempen for council, the reply is no, and h... no.
Daffy Noodnicks
10:30 am on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Isn't Ed Kempen the guy who was responsible for circulating intentionally misleading petition(s) to intentionally confuse voters about funding the library? If that is the case, then he would be a comically, outrageously divisive and inappropriate choice that would never ever happen in a zillion years. Thanks for wasting people's time with this silliness, Dale.
John David
11:39 am on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
You are correct about Kempen and his opposition, misleading opposition, to the millage votes, particularly for the library. He is another extreme, far right conservative, and who I thought Murrish would propose for mayor.
Daffy Noodnicks
12:57 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Please check me if I'm wrong here, but didn't he run for council? Didn't the voters choose to NOT put him on Council?
John David
1:20 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Top 5 vote recipients in Nov 2011 were: Tietz 7621, Henderson 7157, Campbell 6552, Kempen 6495, and Boomingdale 6096. There were 3 seat, and Kempen had he fourth highest total. In the same election Daniels 7709, Beltramini 7092.
Daffy Noodnicks

Thank you John David. It seems inappropriate to me, all else aside, for council to select someone voters rejected.
John David
2:26 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Daffy, I agree. Kempen ran with Henderson, Tietz and Daniels. This is a link to Henderson's blog for the election: http://davehendersontroycouncil.blogspot.com/ In his Sep 28, 2011 entry he tells his "hat story" and concludes with this statement:
"This story is a very good example of why I'm a little leary about the budget numbers the city has given to the people of Troy, especially as it regards extraction of the entire library budget, in its quest for a tax increase." Did Henderson and Tietz, much less the silent Daniels, find funds hidden in the budget for the library, or anything else? If they had would they not have funded the library or other needs or at least trumpeted the vindication of their beliefs? They didn't. If they couldn't, Kempen couldn't and won't. The premise of their campaign, hidden excess budget funds, was wrong, if not a political figment. Kempen, given his joint error with Daniels, shouldn't be given consideration.He will be divisive.

for a different point of view than your minority view. Most Americans now identify as pro-life.

I'll repost this here since Dale insists on posting half-truths.
As is typical, Dale only tells part of the story to try to steer the reader towards his way of thinking. The studies Dale is most likely referring to stated that while approximately 50% of Americans consider themselves pro-life, 89% of Americans (and 82% percent of Catholics) believe that contraception is "morally acceptable".
In addition, When it comes to abortion, the percentages that believe abortion should be legal under at least some circumstances hasn't been changing very much since Gallup started asking the question back in 1975. 77% of Americans still believe abortion should be legal under certain circumstances. http://reason.com/blog/2012/05/24/record-low-are-pro-choice-yet-75-percent
As always, all the information often tells a very different story than the selective information that Dale likes to provide.

Dale , Is 36% the majority or is 59% majority ? SEE BELOW
There you go again making up numbers .As was said by a famous senator "You are entitled to your opinion but not to make up facts .
From WSJ:Polling data shows just 36 percent of voters who showed up to the polls took a pro-life position supporting making all or most abortions illegal while 59 percent took a pro-abortion position favoring keeping all or most abortions legal.

Good idea, John David. I plan to do both.
Glenn, I'm OK with people having a different point of view on abortion. I'm not OK with the pro-life viewpoint being disrespected as Joe Biden did in the debate with Paul Ryan and the Obama administration has done by forcing people to violate their conscience. That crosses the line for me.

Dale you're not being completely honest again. You're only OK with people having a different point of view on abortion as long as they're not allowed to have one. That's why you and your religious right wing cohorts keep trying to outlaw it. OK is what I am with a pro-life position. Heck, I am pro-life. I don't think that I would ever have opted to have an abortion if the situation would have arisen in my younger days. I have two kids that I wanted and was prepared to have. But I'm not about to tell other people what choices they have to make when it comes to a subject that no one can come to a consensus on.

Barbara Harrell , I think you need to look up definitions before you call someone for using democracy instead of the republic. Since I keep seeing and hearing people play big deals about the difference I decided to give you the definition from the dictionary along with the like words so you can stop nit picking about the 2 words . so her it is:
(1): a government having a chief of state who is not a monarch and who in modern times is usually a president (2): a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government
b (1): a government in which supreme power resides in a body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by elected officers and representatives responsible to them and governing according to law (2): a political unit (as a nation) having such a form of government
c. A republic may also be distinguished from direct DEMOCRACY, though modern representative democracies are by and large republics.
Synonyms: DEMOCRACY, SELF-GOVERNMENT, SELF-RULE
Note the synonyms . yes we also have a democracy .

I am not sure why these debates are continuing. The Mayor has been recalled and now it is time to move forward. The Council is going to make a sound decision on a replacement, as it will require they all work together to get it decided. I love that! This suggests that the replacement will be someone focused on bridging the gap between this divided city. I highly doubt they will be looking for someone who they would define as conservative or moderate or liberal. That would be a mistake. Those labels don't belong in city government. Give me someone who will carry themselves with integrity and will base their votes solely on what they feel is best for the city.
Dale - I would echo the suggestion of emailing the council members your suggestion to replace the mayor (though it is likely that the replacement will be a council seat, with an existing council person performing the role of Mayor). Save the blog entry for Nov. 2013 when the people of the city get a vote.

We all know there are many reasons for running.
Whether it's to satisfy a sweet tooth
or to enjoy a savory snack.
Perhaps you are noble and
because it's always rewarding to
You might even run for the reward after the race
unless, of course, you are a beer girl.
You could always
or maybe you have a hard time choosing just one.
At the end of the day, sometimes we run for the medal
Whatever the reason, JUST RUN!
