I usually don't buy or eat chicken breast because of the tendency to be dry.
I was wonderfully surprised with the chicken breast package that I received from Omaha Steaks. Not only are the chicken breast flavorful and moist, but
so tender that I could cut them with a plastic fork. What a wonderful surprise. I would recommend them to anyone, who like myself and my family,
are starting to make wiser food choices.

Review by: Jason, NW Indiana, 2/28/2013
I felt this product's fit was true to size
I felt this product's width was true to width
These are great boots I first mistakenly ordered these boots with a steel toe. The return process with shoeline.com was fast easy and free shipping. When I got the right boot it fit great right out of the box. very soft leather - the quality is very high. The outsole will take some time to break in but to me that''s a sign of ruggedness. Not too many shoes/boots made in the USA anymore. This is my second pair of Double H Boots and I couldn''t be happier

Price Paid: £22 in UK
When working in Siberia, I wouldn't go out without them on my shoes or boots! Expensive, but worth it. Saved me from many slips which could easily result in injury - or worse, slipping and falling under passing vehicles for instance. Should be made available more widely - and more cheaply as I could do with some more!

Captain Crow wrote: that's pretty cool. sad to think of all those stories that are lost forever. It's going to be the same with our WW2 vets soon. Just became that way with the WWI vets. What was it, earlier this month or late last month that it was announced the last living WWI vet in this country passed on. Personally the thing I think is sad is the stories the vets told to their families but which never got written down. Verbally passed on, those stories could vastly change from what they were when the vets originally told them. How much have the stories originally told a hunaded fifty years ago changed as family members retold them to their own kids, grandkids, etc.? It's absolutely fantastic that folks have stories to pass on about their ancestors who took part in the war, but you kinda have to wonder if those stories are the same as what their ancestors originally told and if not just how much they've changed. |

Great place to see some butterflies and a few birds. WAY TOO SMALL for the price. $5 each person is more than enough for this event. We were done in 20 minutes. |
We'll go back for the aquarium but the butterfly exhibit is just way too small for the money. We did enjoy the sting ray tank on the way out. Another 5 mins. |

Walter Pitchford and Shavon Shields each scored 17 points last night, and Nebraska's defense held off Indiana's second-half rally for a 70-60 victory. The Cornhuskers have won seven of eight and this one strengthened their resume for the NCAA's selection committee. It's also the first time in six tries Nebraska has won in Bloomington. Pitchford also added nine rebounds. Indiana was led by Troy Williams with 18 points and Will Sheehey with 13 but it wasn't enough to avoid a second straight Senior Night loss. Nebraska improves to 18-11 overall and 10-7 in the Big Ten while Indiana drops to 17-13 overall and 7-10 in the conference.

News Briefs:
Authorities Bellevue continue to search for a missing 16-year-old girl. The Bellevue Police Department said at a news conference that officers are looking for Michaela Wells. Her parents say they last saw their daughter Sunday night as she went outside to take out the trash. A police report was filed Monday night. Chief Mark Elbert said there's no evidence that indicates Michaela was taken against her will, but it hasn't been ruled out. Michaela's parents say the girl was in a dress coat but left behind her wallet and cell phone. Police are searching the girl's electronics to see if there are any clues to her whereabouts.
Agricultural land values in Nebraska have climbed 120 percent in six years, and cash rents have climbed right along with them. Platte County Extension Educator Allan Vyhnalek says a new survey of cash rents is expected in a few weeks, but he isn't looking for a price reduction just yet. Vyhnalek says it is a question of supply and demand, and the demand for rental property is just too strong right now for cash rents to recede. He says some farmers paying those high rental rates will have trouble operating in the black this year.
Psychology students at the University of Nebraska Medical Center are serving doctoral-level internships in other states and choosing to stay there rather than practice in Nebraska. That's according to State Senator Amanda McGill of Lincoln. McGill has introduced a bill that would fund internships to attack what McGill calls a "drastic shortage of mental health professionals." McGill says only 18 percent of mental health professionals serve rural Nebraska. She says the shortage negatively impacts the state's school and prison systems. McGill's bill - LB 901 - would require the University of Nebraska Medical Center to fund five one-year doctoral-level internships that would increase to 10 within two years. The Unicameral last week advanced the bill to select file by a vote of 31-0.
Farmers and ranchers in Nebraska and throughout the country are being urged by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to log on to the Health Care Marketplace to learn about what plans are available. Vilsack says the Affordable Healthcare Act is an ideal plan for rural America. He says many producers have had to earn off-farm income in the pat to afford health care. Vilsack reminds farmers and ranchers that open enrollment ends March 31st.
The state treasurer's office is seeking to return $135 million in unclaimed property to more than 350,000 Nebraskans and former Nebraskans. The office will publish the names of more than 37,500 people owed money or property in state newspapers this month and in April. A list of those owed unclaimed property may be found on the office's website at www.treasurer.org. Examples include health claim payments, dividends, utility deposits, life insurance proceeds, wages, stocks, outstanding checks, safety deposit boxes and unused gift certificates.

Reviewer:Caroline McClearyon10/12/2013 wetsuit - I get very cold swimming even in 80F heated pool. This is a very lightweight wet suit and provides just enough insulation to keep me warm enough for a 1 mile swim. It is easy to take on and off and drip dries fairly quickly. The downside is that there is a lot of nylon type material around the bottom of the zip area. This material "gives" and breaks down much more quickly than the neoprene parts of the suit so I will end up with a perfectly good suit but the lighter components will have worn through or torn so that the insulation is lost. It probably doesnt help that I swim in a chlorinated pool 3-4X/week but thats what I need the suit for. Thanks, Lea McCleary | |
| Camaro 2mm Seamless Bermuda Super-Stretch Airial Wetsuit Shorts .. Reviews
Reviewer:Jorge C.on3/11/2014 Comfortable and useful - I scuba dive in cold water, I wear it under my 5 mm wetsuit with excellent results, Camaro shorts are comfortable and provide the needed warmth to dive in cold water around 70 F (21 C) as an extra layer. Material is strong and is well constructed to resist diving activity. | |

| Camaro 1mm Titanium Thermo Long Dive Socks Reviews
Reviewer:PAUL S.on11/25/2013 Most comfortable dive socks you can find - These socks are extremely comfortable and will actually reach suits with shorter inseams. | |
| Camaro 3mm Aqua Slippers Reviews
Reviewer:John L.on1/12/2010 The - Camaro 3mm Aqua Slippers are a very high quality, good looking and value priced item. Unfortunately, they are not sized correctly. The ONE SIZE fits all approach is a little lacking. For instance, if you wear a size 10, the 10-11 is big and loose. If this were corrected, then this would truely be a five star product! |

Becker muscular dystrophy is an inherited disorder that involves slowly worsening muscle weakness of the legs and pelvis.
Benign pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy; Becker's dystrophy
Becker muscular dystrophy is very similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, except that it gets worse at a much slower rate and it is less common.
The disorder is passed down through families (inherited). Having a family history of the condition raises your risk.
Becker muscular dystrophy occurs in about 3 - 6 out of every 100,000 births. The disease is found mostly in boys.
Females rarely develop symptoms. Males will develop symptoms if they inherit the defective gene. Symptoms usually appear in boys between ages 5 and 15, but may begin later.
Muscle weakness of the lower body, including the legs and pelvis area, slowly gets worse, causing:
Muscle weakness in the arms, neck, and other areas is not as severe as in the lower body.
Other symptoms may include:
The health care provider will do a nervous system (neurological) and muscle examination. A careful medical history is also important, because symptoms are similar to those of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, Becker muscular dystrophy gets worse much more slowly.
An exam may find:
Tests that may be done include:
There is no known cure for Becker muscular dystrophy. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms to maximize the person's quality of life. Some doctors prescribe steroids to help keep a patient walking for as long as possible.
Activity is encouraged. Inactivity (such as bed rest) can make the muscle disease worse. Physical therapy may be helpful to maintain muscle strength. Orthopedic appliances such as braces and wheelchairs may improve movement and self-care.
Genetic counseling may be recommended. Daughters of a man with Becker muscular dystrophy may carry the defective gene and could pass it on to their sons.
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a support group where members share common experiences and problems.
See: Muscular dystrophy - support group
Becker muscular dystrophy leads to slowly worsening disability, although the amount of disability varies. Some men may need a wheelchair, while others may only need to use walking aids such as canes or braces.
Lifespan is usually shortened because of heart and breathing disease.
Call your health care provider if:
Genetic counseling may be advised if there is a family history of Becker muscular dystrophy.

Michigan gasoline prices moving into historic territory
Motorists are spending $4 for a gallon of regular gas in Troy and Okemos. And other parts of Michigan may soon join them. Michigan's gasoline prices shot up 12 cents on Monday.
Dustin Coupal is a co-founder of GasBuddy.com. He says increasing world demand for oil is pushing Michigan's gasoline pricescloser to record high territory.
"Over time, it's a definite certainty…whether it happens this week ….or next month," says Coupal, "Unfortunately higher gas prices are coming." According to GasBuddy.com, Michigan's average regular gas price is around $3.80 a gallon. The state set a record last May, when the average price hit $4.26 a gallon.

Stuff is seriously legit bro
Email me for free prodigy samples
Decreased subcutaneous fluid, increased nutrient mobilization and muscle nutrient uptake.
Cant beat that with a stick if you tried!
E-Pharm Rep... PM me with any questions or concerns
Same here. I down 3 lbs yet my bench is still what it had been when I was taking (1-T) - about 2 weeks after the 4 week cycle at the moment. Very good sign, will see if it continues onto larger data sample.
What's the dosing protocol being used? Are you stacking it with anything else?
2caps vanillean 3x, 2 og dcp 3x, E+lipotropin am 2x
Wow, that's quite a stack!
I figured OG DCP would fit nicely with Vanillean. Can't wait to see how DCP 2.0 stacks with Vanillean.
Vanillean is one of those hidden gems!
Some quick cliff notes from a 1 month run:
-Vanillean - 3x/day for 1 month (27 days to be specific - gave end of bottle / 3 caps for friend to try)
-PP Sustain Alpha liqui 5 day on 2 day off - ~1 month
-Run intermittent fasting 2x - 24 hour periods a week - meshes into non training time
(Height: 5'10.5")
-Start:198 @ 14.5% End 196 @ 13% *BF from Tanita scale same day of week same time - about the best instrument I can easily get a hold of* - (maybe next time I'll do pics too, never have for a supp before though)
-Maintained reps/weights on heavier sets
-Noticed my forehead sweats like no other
-Gym buddy asked what Im doing / if taking anything, noticed shoulder showing striation better, let him know
-Showed roommate progress, let him do 3 caps to try a day, he noticed 'dat feel' and ordered himself
-ART Spec. / Chiro looked at shoulders and mid section and said he likes what hes seeing
So at the performance + price/bottle I say good deal.
Going relatively "mild/light" cycle at the moment - IMHO at least - (4 weeks of PP AH 1/2 dose 3 cap + PP AD 5 cap).
I plan on hitting another Vanillean afterwards - along with everything else after the PP stuff too.
Thanks for the update Northcuts
Good feedback NC - thanks!

A day for community and scientists to come together2012-05-07
Science Rendezvous Day gives Queen's researchers a chance to share with the Kingston community their passion for their work, and create positive attitudes about learning science that will inspire a future generation of researchers.
"The event really bridges the Queen's community with the broader educational community," says Lynda Colgan, an associate professor and coordinator of the Faculty of Education's Community Outreach Centre. "It shows many different kinds of learners and educators—teachers, parents, homeschool children—how science and technology are everywhere. It also gives the public a chance to talk with scientists working in the lab creating innovations that will impact their lives."
The City of Kingston proclaimed May 12, 2012 Science Rendezvous Day to recognize the science and technology research going on at local post-secondary institutions, museums, and community organizations. Over 40 participants, many of them from Queen's, will gather inside Grant Hall and offer educational games and activities for a wide range of learners. Young people can try on miniature hazmat suits, look at sun spots during the afternoon in a solar telescope, or even learn how to isolate their own DNA at home.
Activities like the one offered by the Queen's pathology graduate students are intended to enthuse young people about science and educate at the same time. The graduate students will present a lesson about dosages to teach young people how to avoid consuming plants and liquids in dangerous amounts—when it's safe to eat a dandelion, for instance, and when it's not.
At many stations visitors can speak and interact with researchers who lead innovations in their fields. Science Rendezvous gives holders of Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada grants an opportunity to share their discoveries with the wider public.

Yes, that is under-boob.
Seen here SITTING ON A F***IN' TANK WITH A CANNON BETWEEN HER LEGS (possibly two!), Chelsea Charms (not to be confused with Lucky Charms, which have way fewer artificial ingredients) shows off her 'world's largest' 164XXX sized mammaries. Pfft,that's not even a real size. Real disgusting, yes.
Chelsea did admit to Pip and Ruth Langsford that she does struggle, particularly squeezing into aeroplane toilets. She also admitted 'Itsy and Bitsy' as she lovingly calls them, often prove a bit of an obstruction and she has trouble reaching the dinner table over them.

My parents bought their home about eight years ago for about $120,000. On Zillow.com, a comparable property in her development just sold via short sale for $86,000. Ouch! Does that grim fact favor conserving funds and using a flat rate listing agent or spending more to have the home more actively marketed by a traditional listing agent?
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
When you list a home with a full service real estate broker, you expect them to put your home on the multiple listing service in your area, to market the home through traditional advertising and to be there to show the home to potential buyers.
On the other hand, a flat listing real estate agent may charge a flat fee for their services. In some cases, that flat fee might be to put your property on the multiple listing service and that's it. You will have to show the property, field calls from potential buyers and other brokers and do all the work. There are other variations on the amount of work a flat fee listing broker will handle for you -- the more you want done, the higher the fee.
For sellers who have the disposition and inclination to handle more of the work, a flat fee listing broker might be right. But if you don't want to deal with the calls, don't want to market your property, or don't want to deal with the issues surrounding the sale and marketing of the home, you might want to consider a full service real estate broker.
One key issue that we find interesting in the discussion about full service brokers is that in some parts of the country, so-called full service brokers may claim to be full service but in reality may not perform all of the functions of a truly full service brokerage firm. One item that we particularly like to see in a full service broker is the ability to be there to show the home when prospective buyers come to see it.
If you're paying a full commission, you deserve to have the listening agent show the property -- and who better to show the home but the real estate agent you've hired?
That agent should know all the positive attributes of the home and be able to point them out, give encouraging information to the buyer and the buyer's agent that they can use to compare your home with other homes in the area, and be there to answer any questions that might come up during the course of a showing.
While it has become routine in many markets to place a lockbox on a home for sale, and have the buyer's real estate agent show the house, we don't feel that the buyer's agent is the best person to be there and make sure the home shows in its best light. Since the showing is a critical element to selling a home, who's the best person to make sure the lights are on, the curtains open and other little things taken care of to show the home in its best light? We feel that person should be your listing agent if he or she is a full service agent and you've signed a listing agreement to pay his or her company a full commission.
It almost seems that if your broker won't show your property and always sends the buyers' agents to retrieve the key and show the home that you should get a discount on the fee you pay to the listing agent -- hence discount brokers have made great strides in doing more for less and to some extent commoditizing the real estate industry.
In some cases, discount brokers will do showings and charge less, and that might be a win-win for you. But other discount brokers charge for every little thing they do and that's a losing proposition for a homeowner trying to maximize each dollar out of the sale. If the home doesn't sell right away, your instinct will be to cap the fees the agent is charging, which means you probably won't get the level of service you need to sell most homes today.
One additional thought for you. Ten years ago, you couldn't sell a property using a flat fee listing broker. The same may be true now. Frequently, a good listing broker has contacts in the community, has the ability to tell people in his or her office about the home, has a network to encourage other brokers to bring their buyers in, and will advertise the home for sale. Some of these qualities are invaluable when selling a home. If you think your home will sell using a flat fee real estate agent because you simply listed the home for sale on the multiple listing service, you might be very disappointed --not because the concept of the flat fee service is wrong, but it might be wrong for your situation.
Consider this: If yours is one of 50 similar homes in your area selling for approximately the same amount of money, how will you differentiate your house from the others? If you use a flat fee agency, you'll have to take the time and effort to add marketing materials to your sale. You'll have to talk up your sale with real estate agents who generally work with buyers and sellers in your area.
If you're OK with doing all the extra work, we're OK with you using a discount broker and saving yourself some money.
In a different situation, say, where there's a scarcity of homes for sale in your area and a high demand for homes there, you could see how a flat fee real estate agent could work for you.
You also need to consider other particular issues in your neighborhood. If a few real estate agents handle most transactions in the neighborhood, you might find that some of them will show and try to sell the homes of other agents they know before they bring buyers to your home. They may eventually bring buyers to your home, but it might not be their first or second choice. Some real estate agents are very much against flat fee real estate services and may not encourage buyers to look at your home.
And that's even when they receive what would be considered a full share commission.
Given all of this information, certainly many sellers can benefit from flat fee services. Others will need or want the services of a full service real estate broker. Personal relationships in real estate are key and you need to be able to rely on and trust the broker you hire to do a good job in a tough market.

HypnoBirthing® Practitioner Certification Available to Doctors, Doulas, Midwives, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physicians Assistants, Healthcare Providers, Childbirth Educators, Hypnotherapists, Yoga Instructors, Massage Therapists, and all others with an interest in maternal health and birthing
Why Become a HypnoBirthing® Practitioner-
Becoming a HypnoBirthing practitioner will add a whole new dimension to your life. Today, more than ever before, people are attracted to the HypnoBirthing Practitioner Certification Program because of the satisfaction that teaching this program and working with young families is bringing into their lives. An even greater attraction for practitioners is seeing the impact that the HypnoBirthing philosophy of calm and gentle birthing is having on a large majority of low-risk women who are coming to realize that birth is about them and their babies. Through weekly pre-natal classes, instructors are helping families to reclaim birth as their own.
HypnoBirthing gives women the confidence to birth, free of any unnecessary interventions that can move the experience out of the realm of normal and thrust it into the arena of medicalization. Practitioners who were, or are, Labor and Birthing nurses talk about the feeling of fulfillment that they have in attending births where empowered women trust birth and trust the female human body to be able to birth normally and with ease. Doulas revel in the fact that they are able to leave births on a natural high that remains with them for hours, and sometimes days. Mothers who birthed with HypnoBirthing broadcast the joy and accomplishment they feel, and they seem compelled to teach these skills to as many people as will listen. Doctors who respect families and the miracle of birth are happy to find the rational means of attending births, rather than managing births.
We could fill pages with the many reasons that practitioners give for having become affiliated with HypnoBirthing, but it all comes down to the HypnoBirthing belief that birth is natural, normal, and healthy, and that women were created to conceive, nurture and birth babies. Birth is intended to be experienced with dignity and reverence. Practitioners are inspired to carry this message to birthing families in 45 countries of the world.
Enjoy the rewards of teaching visualization and imagery that assists expectant parents as they release fear and other hindering emotions and prepare for a calm, easier, and more satisfying birth.

2012 has been a hectic year around the world, but the U.S. has been especially busy this year. We saw two new QE programs, the re-election of Barack Obama, the hottest year on record, extreme weather, and much more. But even still, markets have turned in a solid performance for the year, despite teetering on the edge of the fiscal cliff as the year draws to a close. To help give investors a better view of which market segments outperformed the rest, we outline the YTD performances of the ten largest ETFs in the world .
Disclosure: Long VWO
- SPDR S&P 500 (SPY): Weighing in with more than $115 billion in assets, SPY is by far the largest and most popular exchange traded product in the world. This year, the fund has raked in just over 15%, as itbenefitedfrom a strong Q1 and was able to hold momentum from there.
- SPDR Gold Trust (GLD): With all of the worries of inflation and currency debasement, this physically-backed gold fund has been in the limelight for the majority of 2012. Towering over the commodity space with $73 billion in assets, GLD was able to return over 8% to its investors. Note that GLD hasnever had a down year since inception.
- Emerging Markets ETF (VWO): The most popular emerging markets ETF earned its title with an expense ratio of just 20 basis points, outdoing its competitor, EEM, as far as assets are concerned. Interestingly enough, VWO has an almost identical YTD return to SPY, something that doesnothappen often. Jumping a little more than 15%, VWO has had a solid run for 2012.
- MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM): Speaking of EEM, this fund trails VWO by about $13 billion in assets, but still ranks as the fourth largest ETF. EEM tracks the same index as VWO, so it should come as no surprise that it too has gained just over 15% on the year.
- MSCI EAFE Index Fund (EFA): Taking fifth place, EFA has $38.4 billion in assets under management. At risk of sounding like a broken record, EFA had a solid year, gaining 15.4% as that seems to be the popular figure for the world's most prolific ETPs .
- Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV): A direct competitor to SPY, this S&P 500 ETF reinvests its dividends automatically, a strategy that some prefer. In case you hadn't already guessed it, this fund's YTD performance came in eerily close to the rest of the pack at 15.4%.
- QQQ Fund (QQQ): The Nasdaq juggernaut has had a busy year, mostly at the beckoning of Apple (AAPL) who became the worlds largest company by market cap earlier in the year. QQQ returned a nice 17.8% for its investors this year, but with AAPL accounting for nearly 19% of the fund, this ETF will continue to be a slave to the tech giant's movements.
- iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (LQD): The largest bond ETF, LQD comes in with an asset base of $25.6 billion and an average daily volume topping 2 million shares. This year has watched fixed income drag behind equities, as evidenced by LQD's 10% gain; a respectable jump, but still behind its rival asset class.
- Total Stock Market ETF (VTI): One of the most diverse funds in the world, VTI is home to more than 3,250 holdings at a cost of just 6 basis points. With an all-encompassing exposure to global stocks, VTI was able to gain 15.5% for 2012.
- Barclays TIPS Bond Fund (TIP): Rounding out the top ten comes this inflation-protected product. TIP has more than $22 billion in assets and an average daily volume eclipsing 1 million shares. Though its return on the year is by no means poor, TIP's gain of 7.1% is dwarfed by competing funds in the space.

President's Message for Call
A new year, new beginnings, new opportunities to show our strength and determination to preserve our liberties and stand porter at the door against those who would try to wrest them from us.
There is so much to do, at all levels, but first, our organization must be strong so as to provide a firm foundation for the work ahead. I am encouraged that we have that strength to support and nurture each other for the battles to come.
And that is truly what we are facing this year, great battles for our safety, privacy, and self-determination. Battles for the minds of our children. Battles for the integrity of our ballots. Battles for the Rights afforded us in our National and State Constitutions. Battles for the security of our borders. Battles for our national moral standards. Battles for fiscal responsibility. And more foes seen and yet unseen that we may meet in the months ahead.
And what do battles require? Knowledge of those who oppose us, plans of action, finances, courage of endeavor, and leadership. CFRW is committed to educating and training our club, district and state leaders. That is one of the main purposes of our Spring Board Meeting. To educate, provide a forum for discussion, learn of the plans for the coming year, and include all in this quest we undertake to keep our nation free. Each meeting you have, every speaker, political education, workshop, candidate forum, campaign, or community service you perform builds strength upon strength.
Come to the Board Meeting to learn from each other, meet our candidates, network, learn the dos and don'ts of legal requirements, have your questions answered, share experiences, get to know your state officers, and strengthen your resolve. Oh, and have some fun too.
Look forward to seeing you all in Colorado Springs.

The poignant and moving music of taps playing that drifts through the Cedaredge air every evening at 7 p.m. emanates from a rooftop speaker at the Shady Creek RV Park.
There, Cathy Meskel has set the 44-second-long recording on a timer to play every evening as her personal tribute to America's military and its families.
Meskel, who owns the RV park with her husband, Mike, began the project last Memorial Day, she explained. During the week leading up to the national holiday, she began playing the recording at increasingly more audible levels of volume. On Memorial Day, the volume reached 10 on her back porch amplifier, and that evenings's recording was accompanied by an honor guard and military salute conducted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Since then, people have been trying to figure out where the music is coming from. "They come right into my driveway and ask, 'Where is this coming from?'" Cathy explains.
People walk by and drive by looking for the source of the music. "We've been trying to figure out where this is coming from," they tell her. "Veterans who come to hear it cry – every one," Cathy said.
She got the idea for playing taps every evening when a resident of the RV park sent her an email of a 70-year-old veteran in Washington State who plays taps on his bugle every evening.
"This is just such a minimal thing to do in recognition of what service members, veterans, and their families have to go through. It is an honor to play taps for them every evening," Cathy said.
Residents in nearby neighborhoods who rarely interact come outside at evening to hear the short recording. Meskel believes that playing taps this way is creating a beneficial community effect by bringing neighbors together.
There are other people who know that Cathy is the one behind taps at evening. "You can't believe how many people have stopped me to say how much they appreciate it," she said. One acquaintance stopped her in the potato chip aisle at the grocery story and with tears in her eyes thanked Cathy.
Cathy has a true heart for the military services and for veterans, and she has a track record of distinction displaying it.
Before she and Mike moved to Cedaredge several years ago and bought the Shady Creek RV Park, she maintained displays of large, satin yellow ribbons along the town's main street in Rifle.
"For seven and a half years, there was never a yellow ribbon down on Main Street, and I replaced them every two months," Cathy said.
After coming to Cedaredge, she continued the yellow ribbon honor for a time. In addition to that, she has sent thousands of encouraging letters and "care packages" at her own expense to active duty military serving overseas.
She recalls the day that "I filled 16 baskets full at Dollar Tree." The bounty of personal care and comfort items, games, and other items was headed for combat zone soldiers, Marines, sailors, and airmen.
She asks, "As a community, is it too much to stop and take the effort to remember the sacrifice of those who have been lost and those who serve. Just 44 seconds to stop and remember. That's what it is all about. It's amazing.
"I'll never stop," she said.

What is the Difference Between a Civil and Criminal Case Involving the Florida Wrongful Death of a Child?
In Florida and other States, day care centers are responsible for the health, education, safety, and well being of children enrolled in the program. Being a child care provider is among the most important jobs in the community. While it may not be the highest paying position, it is nonetheless a vital position to be responsible for the safety of children. Tragically, children die at day care centers or while under the care of day care centers. One would assume that a day care center is a safe place for children and that the day care center staff is well trained and attentive to the needs of the children. While this is true and accurate in most instances, there are still far too many children who are seriously injured or even die as a result of the negligence or carelessness of the day care center staff charged with the responsibility to supervise the children. When a child dies at a day care center as a result of the fault or negligence of the staff, there may be a case pursued against the owner, individual, and the facility. There are two basic types of cases that can be pursued: 1. Criminal Case 2. Civil Case
1. Criminal Case. If a day care worker, employee, or owner violated a law, the local police and State Attorney's office could pursue criminal charges against the person. The decisions to file and then follow through with a criminal prosecution are left in the hands of State and local authorities. While a parent of a child victim can have input in these matters, the parent does not control the ultimate arrest and filing decisions by the government authorities. On a case by case basis, restitution or compensation may be awarded but this is typically limited to economic damages or expenses. In other words, medical bills may be ordered as part of the criminal case but typically pain and suffering type of damages are not part of the criminal court order or resolution of the criminal matter. The burden of proof in a criminal case in the State of Florida is "beyond a reasonable doubt".
2. Civil Case. A civil case or claim can be pursued regardless of the filing or outcome of a criminal case. A civil case is not necessarily dependent on the criminal case; however, evidence and testimony obtained through the criminal case can be helpful to proving and prevailing on the civil case against the day care center and its employees. As a practical matter, there are considerations or factors in a civil case that are somewhat different than a criminal case. For instance, the availability of liability insurance is typically a big concern in a civil case. In most civil cases involving a child who suffered injuries at a day care center, the remedy sought by the parent through a Florida Child Injury Lawyer is compensation. It should be noted that a day care center and its employees can be sued and a big judgment can be obtained against them. However, it is quite a different challenge to collect upon this judgment especially if there is no available liability insurance. The availability or lack of availability of liability insurance is just one factor among many that are part of the evaluation of a Florida Day Care Center case.
The book - Florida Day Care Center Injuries - Legal Rights of the Injured Child - Building Blocks of Knowledge for Parents - has chapters on Indoor Facilities, Outdoor Facilities, Emergency Procedures, Documentation, and other matters. You can get this book for free at Florida Day Care Center Injuries Book.

OK, let's start the debate. Was the A-bomb necessary to end WWII?
On the one side is the fact the home islands were in fact strangled by the Silent Service and Air, and dying a slow death. Tojo had already resigned, the Emperor was already wavering, tentative peace feelers had been put forward.
On the other hand, we had a mutinous army in Europe rebelling on the first announcements they were being transferred to Japan after finishing "their war." Operation Downfall and the previous ones as well had indeed predicted 1,000,000 allied casualties (NOT deaths.)
The US public was getting antsy, wanted the war to end, may not have tolerated another invasion where the sea ran red with US blood.
I won't tell what I think until later, BUT my 17 year old son says we did the Japanese a favor. Sounds cold, but his reasoning is that the Japanese were training civilians with spears and kamikaze lunge mines. They were hoarding whole air wings with fuel for massed Kamikaze attacks bigger than any we had ever seen. Kamikaze speedboats were in every cove, the "Militia" was armed.
The resulting bloodbath would have so fired up the US public that we would STILL be in full occupation status, maybe still fighting! Japan would NOT have had the benevolent MacArthur I as "Precept" and the Emperor would have been deposed. As a result, the Japanese Nation and economy would NEVER be what it is today WITHOUT the bomb.
Funny thing is, I can't argue with him too much...

The lad has it correct, as far as I'm concerned, Polish -
Not only did it bring the Japanese to their senses and get them off the fence for ending the war, it demonstrated to the world just what nuclear war meant, and I believe those images of destruction in the minds of those with access to the buttons is what deterred further nuclear warfare since.
Also, only the most bloody minded wanted an invasion - on both sides of the conflict. Everyone else knew it was going to be a terrible, terrible fight with no holds barred. I was old enough ( to remember the ending and the feeling of relief by all that the long ordeal was over and peacetime activities would be the norm.

After we destroyed their industry, we helped them to rebuild and by doing so we also gave them the base to grow their mfg. They were able to increase their quality because all the machines were new. I worked as a diemaker in the mid 70's and our stamping presses were pre-WWI, at the same time the Japanese had much newer equiptment and was able to produce cars that were of better quality. Many people have said it's the American workers fault for poor quailty but you can't produce quality if you're working with junk.

You know, I learned something last night on the History Channel before I went to bed...
Hitler sent the U 234 to Japan in the last months of the war with a half ton of Uranium 235, some scientists who were working on Germany's bomb, escorted by two Jap naval officers. They were en route when VE day happened, and when they surfaced to dispose of the two Japs who committed hara kiri on board, were captured.
It convinced us the Japs were close to their own bomb, and Hitler was hoping they could explode one off a US west coast city and take pressure off him.
I knew of the extensive Jap R&D in Korea into the atom bomb, but never knew of the U234 before.
Now more than ever you can understand why Harry said yes...
We knew the Nazis were close, now we had evidence so were the Japs...Is there ANY question they would have used it against us? Hell, the Nazis had already put a bomber over New York City as a test...and I'm sure the Japs would have found a sub and crew to kamikaze a bomb into Pearl or San Francisco Harbor...
We just won the "race."

Re: Little Boy and Fat Man
The war in europe was over in time so i suggest putting the question to the marines being prepped for the invasion of mainland japan. Its their lives it saved. Their opinion should be the starting point.
Any true liberal believes in CHOICE, such as the right to keep and bear arms. Sadly i walk alone in that field.

Re: Little Boy and Fat Man
No it wasn't necessary. We could have kept dropping incendiaries and burnt out all of their homes, shops and businesses which would have increased the death tool on both sides by multiples. Innocent men, women and children burnt out of their homes, their livelihood and suffering from burns, infections and exposure would have been a lot more humane that that nasty nuclear double whammy we hit them with.
Then when we stepped ashore we would have been met by a million or two people with sharp sticks, knives, swords, spears, pikes, bows and arrows and antique firearms with nothing to lose. It would have been kind of costly for us but we sure would have killed a lot of orientals who had little or nothing to do with the war. Look how much we could have accomplished if only we had left those stupid bombs to home.
Just think how many more windows we could have decorated at home with stars and flags because our youngsters already exhausted, tired, walking wounded got to land on Japan and found out he had to face 30 or 40 men women and children for every bullet he had in his gun and spare clips. Nope, didn't need that dumb bomb at all.

Old Grump has it right. The BOMBS were not really needed to end the war but, in the end, they saved a LOT of lives - on both sides. That is a reality that most liberals cannot grasp because it SEEMS counter-intuitive.

Re: Little Boy and Fat Man
-These comments are in the "for what it's worth" category. I'm retired Army & have been studying Operation Downfall, the invasion of Japan proper, since the big kerfluffle over exhibiting the "Enola Gay" at the Smithsonian. I have a number of books and articles on the subject and have done research at the National Archives, the Army Historical Center and the Marine Corps Library & Historical Center at Quantico, VA. I have virtually the entire Allied and Japanese orders of battle. The Allied fleet dwarfs June 6, 1944.
-First, there were political reasons to end the war quickly. With the war in Europe over and soldiers being discharged on points the thought of at least another year in combat, with the possibility of 500 thousand to 1 million casualties was not something either politicians or the public wanted to think about. The casualties at Iwo Jima and Okinawa frightened the crap out of a lot of policy makers, particularly with the heavy presence of Kamikazes at Okinawa.
-Second, there were some alternative weapons that hadnt been used. (A) The 22nd Air Force was finally convinced (read ordered) to start an anti-ship mining campaign. By 1945 most of the remaining Japanese merchant marine was hugging the coastline where US submarines couldnt safely operate but mines were effective. (B) The Army Chemical Warfare Service developed and published a Top Secret plan to use poison gas against the Japanese. A copy of the plan was uncovered a few years back, declassified and published in Military History Quarterly magazine. (C) In addition to measures listed by previous commentators, there were plans to spray plant killers and petroleum products on rice paddies as planting season began; it was hoped to eliminate up to 80% of the domestic rice harvest.
-Third, the largest organized Japanese military force remained virtually intact in Manchuria. That force, combined with whatever troops might be pulled out of China, would add at least an order of magnitude to Japanese defenses if they could be brought to the Home Islands.
-By the way, the Japanese high command knew EXACTLY where we were going to attack and even had a reasonable estimate of the timeline. In contrast, the US high command completely underestimated Japanese home defense/civil defense plans and capabilities. The Japanese had thousands more suicide vehicles than we estimated including weapons we knew nothing about and hidden fuel reserves for operations.
-The bombs brought the war to an end, partially because the Japanese had no idea how many more bombs we had; we still had the capability to invade and the Soviet Union had just entered the war, opening a new front.
-Many, but not all, Japanese historians believe that the bombing saved countless Japanese (and American) lives while retaining at least some infrastructure that could be used for rebuilding.
-There are other issues to consider, including one that very few historians have considered. If anyone is interested in further flagellating this deceased equine, let me know and Ill post some more.

Re: Little Boy and Fat Man
Well I am darn glad we had them and that we used them. My father was stationed on ASBD-3 (a floating dry dock that repaired battleships) in Guam from 1943 till the war was over. Had we not used the bombs, the ASBD-3 was destined to be moved even closer to Japan to support the pending invasion of the Japanese mainland and most likely my father's chance of being killed would have increased drastically. As it was, the Guam dry dock base was just behind the front lines, and those there endured the constant threat of attack. He survived the war and came home. Being that I was born 15 years after the end of the war, I would probably never been born if he had been moved up to support the invasion of Japan.

Re: Little Boy and Fat Man
My dad was 506th PIR.
He had left the farm, crossed Europe, wounded at Eindhoven, and reissued for Bastogne.
They were sitting in Austria after the Nazis gave up and were gearing up for the Paciic where they probably were going to be dropped inside Japan.
The bombs prevented this.
In their fashion, they prevented much more suffering than they caused.
My question is wtf does this continue to be brought up?

Re: Little Boy and Fat Man
Charles: Old Grump was saying it WAS necessary in his tongue-in-cheek way.
Dropping both bombs did not immediately stop or even slow the war. My dad's bomb group was based on Okinawa and was bombing Kyushu in preparation for the Nov. 1st invasion. His B-24 group bombed the island the day after Nagasaki was flattened, and even flew thru the fallout after coming off their bomb run (they didn't know any better).
He told me the A-bombs dropped plus the threat of further atomic bombing forced Japan to give up. Better a couple hundred thousand Japanese deaths than millions on both sides.

Having broken with Surrealism, Dali reacted against the abstraction of modern art, turning to the Renaissance for inspiration. Looking to the past coincided with his renewed interest in Catholicism, and his imagery shifted from the personal to the more universal symbols of science and religion. While working on this painting, Dali jotted down the following list of words which help summarize the period of change: "Parachute, paranaissance, protection, cupola, placenta, Catholicism, egg, earthly distortion, biological ellipse."
Geopoliticus Child reflects the newfound importance America held for the world and for Dali. The man breaking from the egg emerges out of the "new" nation, America, signalling a global transformation. Africa and South America are both enlarged, representing the growing importance of the Third World, while Europe is being crushed by the man's hand, indicating its diminishing importance as an international power. The draped cloth above and below the egg represents the "placenta" of the new nation which, as Dali shows with a drop of blood, can only be born through much pain and suffering. An androgynous older figure stands in the foreground and points to the emerging man, acknowledging the birth of this global transformation. The cowering child with its long shadow - the "Geopoliticus Child" of the title - represents this new age.
Did Dali intend the figure coming out of the egg to be himself?
