(End of the rainbow) Dirt swallows me up, blanking my mind (Calm, peaceful, no more worries) Frozen in awkwardness, palm to my forehead Stuck in reality.

O, The Oprah Magazine 's beauty director Valerie Monroe asked readers, "Have you recently done anything beauty related that has done wonders for your self-esteem? What was it, and why did it work for you?" Here are some of her favorite answers!
Layered Short "I recently got all of my hair cut off. It's short, layered and I curl it to give it that extra poof. (My hair is so thin!) This cut gave me a huge boost of self-esteem. I feel great and I look professional, as opposed to me pulling my hair up into a clip all the time. I feel like I can take on the world now!" — Mindy Walker Rogers, Arkansas Pluck Luck "Perfectly plucked eyebrows work wonders for me! I have super-thick eyebrows and when they are cared for and shaped, I feel way more confident. But I can never do it myself. Threading is truly an art in hair removal, and I couldn't live without it." — Terri Jennings Toronto Me Time "I decided at the age of 50 that I was done being 'someone else,' someone who was not me. One symptom of the 'not me-ness': I had spent three years growing out my hair—baby-fine limp hair that even the kindest of friends would admit wasn't meant to be long. The only thing I really liked was the bright silver streak in the front. The larger symptom was that I was 17 years into a marriage that was good enough for one—him—and a misery for me. I couldn't change that overnight, but I could do something about my hair. I went into my trusted and long-suffering stylist and finally let her cut it all off. Now I don't just have one gray streak. The entire top of my new short cut is silver-white, and the bottom layers are dark espresso brown. It's short, sharp, liberating and me . It's perfectly, wonderfully me!" — Mary Birkholz Zieska Minneapolis, Minnesota A Grey Lady "I let my hair color go grey and let my short hair grow long. My hair had been colored for years and also quite short. I decided to let it change, and I am amazed at the results. Rather than feeling 70, I find that I feel young and elegant. I enjoy being 70, and the way I look now adds to that enjoyment." — Sally Lowen Santa Fe From the October 2007 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

Wanting a good view of Nick's cumshot, Joey has Randy step aside as Nick milks his cock...splattering the mirror with thick cum. Joey calls Randy over, unzips his jeans, and turns the camera down as Randy deepthroats his cock and milks out a load.

Memphis >
Lodging > Super 8 Motel Downtown Graceland340 W Illinois Ave, Memphis, TN | Directions
Neighborhoods: South Memphis Planning Dist, Southside
Good view of the abandoned military hospital (especially at night, with the chirp of insects) and far enough from the road for there to be no real noise
Good night sleep and close to interstate for quick getaway the next morning.
Stayed here with my family in 2013 and I must say that we had a wonderful experience staying at the motel for 10 days, yes 10 days. So I feel that I can give a general overview of the motel as we were just not there overnight. Yes it is dated, no it not luxurious but as a family on a budget it suited our needs perfectly. Mike the manager and the rest of the staff treated us like family and were very kind in ferrying us around for a small charge at the drop of a hat. As a wrestling fan I wanted to see a live pay per view while in America, Mike went out of his way to take my family and I at least 20 miles away so that we could watch it in a sports bar and then picked us up later on. Breakfast was basic but sufficient and our rooms clean and very comfy beds, all in all we had a fabulous time in Memphis and the motel suited our needs, we even found our own route by the river to walk to Beale Street from the motel, which was located opposite the marvelous Mississippi, and had no problems whatsoever. Thanks Mike we had a great time and would come back and stay at your place without hesitation.
Stayed here for two nights in January 2014 and paid $40 a night and had a great experience. The hotel staff was really friendly and eager to help. My boyfriend and I were only in town to see Graceland and had some extra time to spend and the staff was great with giving us tips on things to do, they even had a shuttle to Beale St, which was great. Our room was clean and it smelled good, the beds were comfy and the shower worked really well, which was a pleasant surprise. Overall, we had a great experience and I would definitely recommend this hotel.
We stayed at this hotel for 2 weeks - a long stay in the Memphis area. The hotel was fine. It was clean, comfortable and the owner and staff were friendly. We booked this hotel for price and then checked the reviews - we were worried after reading the majority of reviews but the hotel was fine. You need a very short taxi ride into Beale and downtown but the hotel offer a cheap transfer service. We found them expensive for a ride further afield but helpful with advice on the area. Rooms are old and in some need of redecoration but ok for basic accommodation needs. We would stay there again if in this area in the future.
We were very pleased with the Super 8 downtown in Memphis. It was excellent. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. It was very easy to find, right off I-55. They were very accomodating in putting us in a ground floor room, which we requested. The building itself was nice, it seemed a little old but it had good character. It is next to a lovely park that is right on the Mississippi River. Beautiful. The continental breakfast was very nice, the breakfast area was clean and kept well stocked. I would highly recommend this motel to anyone traveling through the Memphis, TN area.
Took the mega bus from Atlanta ($5.00) for a long weekend trip to Memphis. Location was a long walk from bus station, but nice to walk after sitting on a bus for 7 hours. Staff let us check in early. Basic accommodations with breakfast included. You can't beat the price-$38.00 a night.

Cleveland State men's basketball coach Gary Waters announced on Wednesday that freshmen point guard Sebastian Douglas is most likely out for the entire 2010-11 season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in his knee during a charity basketball game this summer.
The 6-foot-4 Douglas from Houston Bellaire, tore his ACL in a charity game to raise money for the family of his former Bellaire teammate Tobi Oyedeji, who died in a car crash on prom night.
"Sebastian Douglas will not play this year at this moment," said Waters. "Doctors are telling me that he will be back here in December ready to go. But I'm not going to rush him.
"Now we are going to bring him here slowly and hope everything will workout for the best."
Waters said Anthony Wells will back-up Norris Cole at the point and Jeremy Montgomery could also see some time at the one.
Douglas, who Waters considers to be his "most heralded" incoming freshmen this season, averaged 14 points, 6.1 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 steals as a senior at Bellaire.

That is a darned interesting question. What is even more interesting is that when I tested it for myself, the number of hits in a search was bigger than the "total number indexed".
Let me lay out my actual numbers and then people can compare.
"Total indexed": 232*
Search for site:example.com with blank search terms: "about 264" results, of which 202 were displayed, ending with
In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 202 already displayed.
If I now go to "include omitted results", the total jumps to... not 264 but 209.
As a follow-up, I did the same thing, this time giving "the" as search string. Total now drops to 246. (I have some pages that are not in English, but definitely not eighteen of them, let alone eighteen that don't include the word "the" in boilerplate somewhere.) This time the displayed total is 203, with no "very similar" or "repeat search" option.
At this point curiosity got the better of me and-- you knew this was coming, didn't you?-- I saved those 14 pages (30 items per page) from the two versions of the empty search for offline scrutiny.
The first extra comes in on pg3; it's the pdf version of an html page. The second and third are on pg5; both are in roboted-out directories. (I don't mind if people know the pages exist, I just don't want the content indexed.) But at this point there was some further glitch, because the with-omitted-pages version of pg5 has only 27 items. This neatly accounts for three more duplicates-- again pdf versions of html pages. The seventh is also absent, although I can now figure out what it should be.
Further interesting question: When you feed in nothing but a site name, how does the algorithm decide what order to list things in? The top-level index pages come first-- with one interesting exception. These are followed by some-- but not all-- of the pages that come up most often in searches. After that, it's anyone's guess. As are the out-of-expected-sequence pages.
* About a month back, there was an interesting hiccup where the "not selected" number went sharply down while the "total indexed" number went slightly up. All other numbers ("ever crawled", roboted-out and I forget the rest) stayed the same. So I'm left with about twelve pages that simply vanished into the ether, disappearing from Not Selected but not resurfacing in Indexed.

Can a board game help people understand that their actions affect others?
That was part of the purpose for Heart and Soul to invite town trustees and mayors, town staff, county commissioners and staff, and representatives from Rural Development and the Department of Local Affairs to come play a board game about community development.
On hand also were several from the Orton Foundation and a team from Alchemy, the company that utilizes the game.
Barbara Peterson, who had the advantage of playing the game previously, explained the point of the game. "Hopefully you'll have a better understanding of exactly how assets, whether they are quality of life assets or whether they are economic assets, — and through the roles you'll discover the interdependence of how communities function and your decisions impact, one way or the other, the community."
Alexis Halbert, Heart and Soul project coordinator, said, "We expect you are going to have lots of critiques and things you're going to learn." It was also a time to learn if the game would be an effective tool.
Alchemy's website states the company "was formed with two ends in mind: first, to provide an exceptional level of consulting services to our clients by employing best-practice, skilled facilitation to accelerate results; and second, to empower our clients to create self-sustainable results."
Alchemy, which normally works with businesses, uses this game to help local governments understand their relationships with local communities and businesses.
An example of a game role, in this case local government services, states the rationale as, "Reputation [of the community] is generated by the quality of life of the community and is influenced by demand for that lifestyle. Reputation is lost when basic and unique services are not provided or there is a decline in demand for these services by people in the community."
All players hated to learn that a decision they had made ended up causing waste. But, players were pleased to receive money from a bag of chips labeled "Improvement."
The objective of the mayor's office was to "strike the appropriate balance between costs and expenses in the community, maintaining cash flow and attracting new economic development." Success was measured "by the resources available to invest in the city."
The players did three rounds of the game. It seemed people were making a real effort to make good decisions.
At the Crawford Work Session the night following the game, Mayor Susie Steckel said it was a "tremendous waste of time." She said the fact that the Town of Crawford doesn't have a railroad and not enough water will stop any manufacturing from coming to town. She noted the game wasn't even fun. Steckel was joined by trustees Larry Kontour and Wanda Gofforth.
Trustee Dustyn Foster represented the Town of Hotchkiss at the meeting. He serves on the Heart and Soul committee.
Paonia Mayor Neal Schwieterman was accompanied by trustees Amber Kleinman, Larry Wissbeck and town clerk Barbara Peterson.
Mayor Schwieterman said, "It was such a new concept of playing a game to simulate the interactions and interdependence of all the different factions that actually might affect a town or a government ... What I found ultimately, as we played those second and third rounds, we really started to see the patterns about how movement of town budgets affect things. To me the center of the board was most interesting because it dealt with quality of life and reputation. This was an attempt to quantify those."
Schwieterman agrees with local businessman Chris Yates who says that everything that is important here [Paonia], none of it is about money. "I took a giant pay cut when we moved here, because I wanted something better than what I had in a big city," Schwieterman said. "This is not a place to come to get rich."
For those who were engaged by the game, they would like to have the opportunity to play some more and learn how to excel at it. And the rest would rather not participate again.
It was an interesting attempt at trying something new, but it's hard to imagine that anything of real new understanding can be accomplished in a single evening.

Performance Of LEFT OUTER JOIN Insert vs. INNER JOIN Delete Statement
Posted on Aug 19, 2011 at 11:24 AM
@Ben A lot of it depends on what proportion of user records have corresponding profile records. If most of them do, then exists should perform well. If most of them don't, not so much. I'm guessing that the reason your insert/delete method works well is that there aren't that many r... read more »

Windows rt has about 5,000 apps. When iOS first launched, apple's appstore had 0 apps. When Android first launched, it had 700 apps. Windows rt launched with 5,000 apps.
Not all that bad, yes its has limited apps, but works fine for most of what you will use. If you want games stay with the android, you want productivity windows RT is fine.
Nice unit for the price, over 100 more everywhere else I could fine it.

So, I recently signed up for MMM on Sunday. After a lot of debating, I figured it would be best. Since I love the tournament I'm an avid fan, and last year I grew tired of all the same commercials. And while the internet thing is free, is just seems so inconvenient and apparently my internet sucks at streaming it.
Unfortunately, there's one thing that made me possibly regret the decision - Game Mix is not in HD. I was excited to watch all the games in HD on my one screen, but now I'm going to have to flip-flop through channels to watch them in HD? If D* has all the games in HD, there's no reason whatsoever to not have a Game Mix HD channel. Did they have one last year?

If it ain't in HD, it ain't worth watching!

Michele Bachmann Should Not 'Get a Pass' on Past Membership in Anti-Catholic Church
The news and blogosphere is filled with responses to the story by Joshua Green, the Senior Editor of the Atlantic
During the last election, a question was raised about then candidate Barack Obama concerning his membership in a Church body which espoused Anti-Americanism. Will some of those same people ask this candidate, whom they seem to agree with on issues, about her affiliation with a Church body which espoused overt Anti-Catholicism?
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - The news and blogosphere is filled with responses to the July 14, 2011 story by Joshua Green, the Senior Editor of the Atlantic, entitled "Michele Bachmann's Church Says the Pope Is the Antichrist." That is because it raises a serious matter which should not be taken lightly, and one which the candidate must address.
First, let me share some personal context. I am what is often called a "revert" to the Catholic Church, someone who returned to the Church of my childhood after a long search for the truth. I love being a Catholic Christian. I hold an undergraduate degree and a master's degree in Catholic theology. I am a dissertation away from obtaining a PhD in Catholic Moral Theology. I am also a member of the Clergy, a Deacon. However, I write this article as a private and very concerned citizen.
I am a lawyer. I have spent much of my career in Pro-life, Pro-Family and Religious freedom work, forging alliances between Catholic, Orthodox, Evangelical and Protestant Christians. My goal has been to effect cultural, social and political change. Like the old country song "I was Country when Country wasn't Cool", I could say "I was ecumenical when ecumenical wasn't cool". I cut my activist teeth on evangelical and Catholic collaboration.
I share all of this in order to establish that I do not have an anti-Protestant bone in my body and that I know this subject well. Among the early responders to his article, some point out that Joshua Green did not treat the subject well due to a lack of theological knowledge of the subject matter. Let's consider that claim first.
I will admit that Mr. Green's story did not address the progress in relationships between some segments of the Lutheran community and the Catholic Church. In fact, an historic accord was signed on (Protestant) Reformation Day, 31 October 1999, All Saints Day eve, which shows the work of the Holy Spirit in healing a significant division between Catholics and Lutherans.
This document is entitled the "Joint Declaration on the Doctrine of Justification" (JDDJ) between the Lutheran World Federation and the Catholic Church. It can be read in its entirety on the Vatican Website. The dialogue also gave rise to an Annex which addresses implications on the relationship between the Catholic Church and Lutherans which can also be read there.
The Annex contains these promising words "the mutual condemnations of former times do not apply to the Catholic and Lutheran doctrines of justification as they are presented in the Joint Declaration." In other words, not all Lutherans hold the virulently anti-Catholic sentiment endorsed by the Lutheran Church body to which Michele Bachmann formerly belonged.
However, Joshua Greens' story properly addresses the fact that the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, a Church body with which the candidate was connected for many years, does. It was -and still is - Anti-Catholic. In an introduction to their doctrinal statement we read this assertion, "As Martin Luther grew in his appreciation of the gospel; he also grew in his recognition that the Papacy is the Antichrist." They then claim that belief as their own.
Here are a couple of snippets from their "Statement on the Antichrist": "Now, it is manifest that the Roman pontiffs, with their adherents, defend [and practice] godless doctrines and godless services. And the marks [all the vices] of Antichrist plainly agree with the kingdom of the Pope and his adherents.. [A]ll Christians ought to beware of becoming partakers of the godless doctrine, blasphemies, and unjust cruelty of the Pope. On this account they ought to desert and execrate the Pope with his adherents as the kingdom of Antichrist; just as Christ has commanded."
To his credit, Joshua Green of the Atlantic footnoted this document. It is taken directly from the web site of the Lutheran Body to which Michelle Bachmann belonged for many years. She left the Church in the last year, submitting her request in writing. However, these Anti-Catholic positions were and are available to anyone who goes to that site, including Michele Bachmann. To use an old legal term, res ipse loquitor, the thing speaks for itself.
And what it says is not only repugnant to Catholics; it should be repugnant to other Christians, people of other faiths, and all people of good will. It participates in one of the oldest forms of Anti-Catholicism in America's history. It calls back to mind anti-Catholic groups such as the old "Know Nothings" in our Nation's past who drew caricatures of the Pope with horns.
Further consider this; it appears that Michele Bachmann belonged to that Church group while Blessed John Paul II served the Church and the world. Apparently even into the tenure of our current Pope, Benedict XVI. Even this ecumenically motivated Catholic finds that very, very disturbing!
Unfortunately, some of my colleagues in the world of Catholic media, journalism and the Press have attributed the positions of this Church and Bachmanns past membership to just "being a Protestant." As someone who has worked ecumenically for decades I reject that dismissal. The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod does not represent many Protestants. It is an Anti-Catholic body.
I have worked with, prayed with and collaborated with MANY Protestant Christians, for over three decades, who would NEVER call the successor of Peter the Antichrist. The colleagues to which I refer go further, they seemingly accept the notion that if Protestant Christians felt otherwise they would no longer be Protestant. That is not only overly simplistic, it fails to recognize the substantial issues which divide the broken Body of Christ.
Some of the other articles I have read addressing this piece by Joshua Green attempt to dismiss it by pointing to the authors purported political leanings. So, let me speak to that for a moment. I have political leanings. I like Michele Bachmann's positions on the issues which matter most to this Catholic voter. She is pro-Life and defends marriage and the family and society founded upon it.
I appreciate her pledge to reign in the ever expanding size of the Federal government, which I fear threatens the principle of subsidiarity. Finally, I had been impressed with her intelligence, her oratorical skills, her background and her presence. All of this made her my second favorite possible candidate, until now. My first choice is obvious to anyone who reads my ongoing political commentary.
However, her political and policy positions were not the point of Joshua Green's article and focusing upon them may be a form of deflection. Green raised the issue of Michele Bachmann's long standing identification with a Church body which is clearly Anti-Catholic.
One question is of special concern to me. Will she get a pass? During the last election, a very serious question was raised by people who did not support the candidacy of now President Barack Obama and questioned his membership in a Church body which espoused Anti-Americanism. Some still bring it up.
Will some of those same people ask this candidate, whom they seem to agree with on issues, about her affiliation with a Church which espoused Anti-Catholicism? For example, how will Sean Hannity or Bill O'Reilly, just to name two high profile media personalities, handle this disturbing fact out of Michele Bachmann's very recent past? I hope the answer is "straight on".
In his article, Joshua Green noted "the statement alarmed prominent Catholics" and gave one example, my friend Bill Donohue. "Clearly, that is anti-Catholic," said Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League, a national organization devoted to protecting Catholic civil rights. "This kind of hatred is reminiscent of Bob Jones. I believe [Bachmann] has in the past condemned anti-Catholicism. But there's no question -- all you have to do is read it -- that they clearly have anti-Catholic statements up there."
Green continues, "Donohue said he would refrain from making any judgments until he heard from Bachmann, who he said must address the matter promptly. "We never went after Obama for sitting there for 20 years listening to Rev. 'Goddam America' Wright. I don't want to give him a pass, but I saw no bigotry on Obama's part.
"Similarly, I have see(n) none on Bachmann's part. But it's clear that the [synod]'s teachings are noxious and it's important for her to speak to the issue. Obama had to answer for Wright, McCain had to answer for [the Rev. John] Hagee, and this is something that Bachmann has to answer for."
During the last Presidential campaign I commended Bill for his willingness to call Pastor Hagee out for his past Anti-Catholic statements. I also commended him later for his meeting with the Pastor which led to healing and reconciliation. I believe he will be just as dogged in this campaign.
Michele Bachmann should not 'get a pass' on past membership in an Anti-Catholic Church body. It matters deeply to many people, including me. I urge her to respond - quickly, clearly and without any hesitation or obfuscation. Like Bill Donohue, I want to presume that Michele Bachmann, as she said in the past, is not anti-Catholic. Her response to this article is an opportunity for her to, as Bill said, answer for her membership in that Anti-Catholic Church body.
I have said in many articles that I consider this the most important election of my lifetime, for many reasons. I will never support anyone who is Anti-Catholic, period. I will also continue to ask the questions which should be asked of any candidate. This is serious business and we should deal with it appropriately.

They shouldn't be. Catholic dogma has changed. Moreover, the Nazis were anti-Catholic neopagans. There is nothing Catholic about the death of St. Maximillian Kolbe or Edith Stein in the Holocaust, other than their martyrdom.
The inquisition was not aimed at actual Jews but at crypto-Jews, crypto-Muslims, and non-Catholic Christians. I would hardly call the rampant anti-semetism of the left in Spain an improvement.
But I'm a right-wing Jew, not a a victim-cultists.

Rob: As long as the sanctity of life is not upheld, this country will always be divided, no matter who is in office. It is the PEOPLE that have to have a change of heart and wipe this abomination out. Debt ceiling, spending, Rep. party, Dem. party and everything else doesn't amount to a hill of beans. As long as we remain disobedient to God's laws, this country will never prosper. We have thrown God out of our country, why should He continue to bless us? Every Catholic out there needs to get on their knees in front of the Blessed Sacrament in adoration as often as they can and pray for this country like you have never prayed before. This country is going to he-- in a handbasket and I, personally, am not going with it. PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!

Rob, I guess that Marxist Kool-Aid is cold and refreshing on these hot days. New info reveals that Bush spent 1.6 Billion dollars a day WHILE Obama is now spending 4.1 Billion Dollars a DAY. The Marxist-in-Chief and his Marxist minion Harry Reid have no intentions on solving our Great Depression II problems. They are hell bent that this country is going down. Companies are laying off by the thousands. Yet you continue to carry Obama's water like an obedient servant. As I've said before, Obama should be proud to have an obedient servant. That's how he and others like him get elected.

JoAnn, have you ever considered the fact that the spending by Obama was merely what was needed to cover up decades of fiscal malfeasance by those in DC? Make no mistake, when the economy collapsed towards the end of the Bush presidency, the powers that be had no intentions of letting things unravel too much. If they did and we truly felt the impact of what they had done we would have probably had an armed revolution. But instead, they have TARP and stimulus programs merely to cover it up. Sure they tell us it's for jobs, but nope, it's to make sure the status quo is maintained so they keep us fat, dumb and happy. Obama just has the misfortune of being president when this all came apart. It's unfortunate that "he" generated the debt he did, but sadly the first stimulus program didn't cover it all up. But I think this time they really screwed things up because even that couldn't cover things up for long. So many decades of overspending, making promises we didn't even try to keep, a decade of unfunded wars, vote buying and pork spending have now all come crashing down. The result, the mess we have in DC right now as they scramble to find a solution to the mess that has been decades in the making. And the sad truth is their is no solution anymore. Yes, they will raise the debt ceiling as they have always done. Any minute now they will annouce the grand plan that will have "large" cuts that no one can figure out and for a time, the status quo will be maintained. We'll go on with our bickering and they will laugh all the way to the bank. Evil agenda?? They all do. It's about them getting ahead, maintaining power and they will do anything and say anything for that power. It does not matter what party is in power, it really doesn't. But the joke really is on us for thinking that one party has the answer or that one is solely to blame. But so long as we continue to think that, they win. Keep the people fat, dumb and happy. Keep the people divided and they can never effect change, never.

Rob: Yes, that was one of the things I was unhappy with regarding the GOP. While Bush was in office, they did spend entirely too much. But absolutely no one spends money like the Dems. Obama spends $4B a DAY. He has spent 40% more than the GOP. As a matter of fact, he has spent more money than any other president from Geo. Washington to Ronald Reagan. He is purposely overwhelming the U. S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos--thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. You say you don't think he is smart enough. Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He has an evil agenda and if he gets in for another 4 yrs., you won't recognize this country. I'm having a hard time recognizing it now. He has weakened the US, his policy on homeland security is next to nothing and he is too sympathetic to our enemies. He is throwing Israel (our friendliest and most trusted ally) under the bus. He wants open borders because he hates capitalism and colonialism. (I think we've discussed this before) He is the biggest offender of human rights. Not far behind China, etc. He is subjecting our country to a Machiavellian game plan to turn the US into a Socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival--and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. He is not doing this all alone. He has plenty of help with his Czars & Andy Stern, "weather underground hippie/radical Bill Ayers and so on. His regulation Czar, Cass Sustein calls us Homer Simpsons. Since abortion is the law of the land, it is not going to be easy to overturn Roe v Wade but a lot of progress has been made on local levels. At least in my state it has. Humanity is supposed to evolve into higher, more intelligent spiritual beings but the opposite has occurred. We are turning into hateful, barbaric, selfish anarchist and we have just about become ungovernable.

JoAnn, the problem I have as that when it comes to money the GOP has managed to do a lot without the numbers. But for whatever reason they won't put the same energy into pro-life issues. I just don't think they get a pass on this issue if that is the primary reason we are putting them in office. The bigger problem is that these guys have us exactly where they want us. They know we won't vote for the other guy, so the pressure really isn't on to deliver. That is a huge problem for the American people.

Our place looks like a different house! Coloring is great, matches anything. But, it is hard to keep clean
Best Uses
This floor is a very good color and grain match to the 3/4" nail down Brazilian Koa that we have throughout our house and halls that this flooring was to butt up to. Over the years we have installed many different types of laminate flooring with no problem, so we tried this because of the near perfect match...a big mistake. The product is far from easy to put down without a significant amount of pounding and damage to get the pieces to fit together tightly, they do NOT "snap together" easily as led to believe, and definitely not like any others we have ever put down in the past. This product is made of a single type composite material under the laminate surface that will swell if it gets wet or damp. The product was NOT wet or damp, and it sat at room temp for more than two weeks. The reason it does NOT go together easily is because of it's composite nature, it's not firm, rigid, or smooth like that of other types that use pieces of wood that have hard edges all around. Due to the amount of pounding needed to get the pieces to fit tightly both the tongue and grooved edges become damaged and are then not able to be used resulting in a large amount of waste. Also when pounding the edges together we used a rubber mallet and another piece of wood against the edge being pounded to protect the piece being pounded for tightening, and the laminate edges would lift resulting in it having to be removed. We feel that this product is very cheaply made, and is not the quality that we had thought it would be. I purchased extra for a couple of closets that we had planned to do and ended up using that to finish the job. We hope that it will last for a couple of years.

This is truly a beautiful floor....until you actually step on it and start using it...and then you see that it is virtually impossible to keep clean. This floor shows EVERYTHING...including my dog's dry paw prints. I read so many reviews before making this purchase but did not truly realize how "messy" our floor would look all the time. I am by no means a neat freak but I am so disappointed in this floor. We really saved up until we could afford to replace our downstairs flooring and I am so bummed. I would NOT recommend this floor to anyone..unless you have time to wipe down your entire floor several times a day....sorry :(
Best Uses
Didn't realize it had 3 sizes(short, medium and long). But it turns out to be a real bonus to cut (using the short or medium), especially for tight corner.
No defect on the order, lucky!
Love the high gloss in the living room, feels like expensive real hardwood gloss and durability.
Wish it had smaller groove (between boards) compare to my last floor.
Best Uses
I have now had this floor for a year. We did the entire 1st floor. They look beautiful!! I have a love hate relationship with the floor. I have 2 kids and a 160 pound great dane....also have NO SCRATCHES!! It is very sensitive to moisture. If something spills and not cleaned up quickly it will expand the planks of flooring. Also in winter the planks shrink and have gaps. Come summer time it goes back together. (i need a humidifier). The floors do show every little piece of anything. Over all we do love the floors.
Best Uses
We used this to replace existing laminate. After seeing the Brazilian Koa installed, I wish we had done the whole house in this! I LOVE the look of this flooring. It's too soon to say if we have any cons. We do have dogs, so I hope it holds up well. We have friends with the exact same flooring & they have dogs too. They say it's holding up well, so I expect the same. Excellent customer service!
Best Uses
We've had the floor for four months. We installed approx 1200 sq ft, and after we got the hang of it, installation was fairly easy. The floor is beautiful; we get compliments from everyone who sees it. We have a 13 lb dog who runs and slides all over it and we haven't had any scratching. Unfortunately, the floor is incredibly moisture sensitive. We knew we would have to be careful with it, but didn't expect it to be like it is. Any drops must be cleaned up immediately, and if it gets between the joints (expanding and contracting on the short joints) we use a blow dryer to ensure it's dry. We are careful with drinks and food, but daily movement through the house: to and from garage, items from kitchen, etc, brings drops of moisture that can damage the floor. It shows everything. The best way we've found to clean it is by hand. We spray a little Bellawood cleaner on a clean cloth, wipe a small area, and dry with a microfiber cloth. Needless to say, it's a pain. We also installed it on our stairs, and while they look great, they are incredible slick and we are now searching for a carpet runner for safety reasons. We looked everywhere for flooring and choose this for it's beauty and were convinced by the great reviews, but I think we would have been better off with something else. We have already not recommended it to several people with small children.
Best Uses
This floor is very easy to lay down and it looks great. As a Rehab Pro I like the Bra Koa because the color tones in the floor are very versatile and helps quite a bit when it is time for the interior decorating. This is a great buy. You wont regret it. make sure you pick the floor cleaning kit too. Once you lay it down and get it cleaned up it has a very nice polished look.
Best Uses
Two years ago, we had this product professionally installed in two levels of our three level home, consisting of five bedrooms, hallway, stairs, home office, and family room. We have no problems whatsoever with scratches from our pet's claws. However, this flooring is very sensitive to water. We used a Hoover Floormate to clean it. A small bit of water puddled causing the corners/edges of the flooring to warp in the middle of the room, which now have to be replaced which is no easy thing to do.
Best Uses
we bought this flooring after much research and we are very pleased with it. our local store is 1151 in shreveport la. we received some of the best customer service that i have ever encountered. robert was very helpful and informative. my brother who is a carpenter said this was the best and easiest laminate he has ever worked with. thanks lumber liquidators for your impeccable customer service, this will be a lifetime returning customer.

Before installing our floor what is the maximum height recommended if you have an uneven floor to know if we should level it out first? We may also install the noise padding which we thought would help with the uneven floor.1 answer
Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
What is the best product to use for repairs on scratches? Is a stain pen ok?1 answer
Minor chip or scratch damage to a laminate plank can be repaired with laminate repair kits and color-matched silicon/latex fillers. If the damaged area is larger than ½" of an inch, a professional can replace an entire plank.Q:
Hi, I bought the Brizillian Koa 12mm-Dream Home- St. James, 4 years ago and had a flood 2 wks ago, just bought 5 new boxes of flooring only to find out that the tongue and grove was changed 1 yr ago and the new flooring can not be added to the existing floor. how can I get 5 boxes from before the change?1 answer
Unfortunately I do not have access to inventory but our Sales Department can look for inventory nationwide to see if it is available in one of our store locations. Please call our Sales Dept. (800) 476-0007 for availability of this product. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
Would this brazilian koa laminate be a better choice to use to reduce scraches from dogs and overall durability verse the engineered brazilian koa1 answer
This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.Q:
I saw conflicting answers on a previous question of using this flooring in bathrooms. We wanted to install the same flooring in our bathroom and laundry room. I've heard conflicting advice from friends on this topic as well. We will be purchasing very soon (next week) so am highly interested in what is recommended. I would love tile but my husband doesn't like it (too cold) and I don't want linoleum.1 answer
Due to the excessive moisture present in a full bath we cannot recommend any of our solid natural flooring or laminate products for this application, I would suggest one of our vinyl Tranquility products. We have a 2mm peel and stick and now a 4 and 5mm click together products that can go in full bath areas or where moisture is a concern.Q:
Did anyone use an additional underlayment (padding, noise barrier)? We really do not want that hollow sound that comes with many laminates. Our floors will be installed over a concrete slab. We plan to use a vapor/moisture barrier. With the pre-attached underlayment/padding + the product is already 12mm, maybe others have found that no additional layers are necessary?1 answer
Laminates having pre-attached padding can be installed over an underlayment. When doing so, Lumber Liquidators recommends the use of our Bellawood Premium underlayment or ECO Silent Sound underlayment. These quality underlayments will best support the joints while ensuring superior thermal sound reduction qualities and are highly recommended for use with condominium associations, project planners and building specifiers.Q:
how wide is this product? looking for a 5 inch plank1 answer
Width: 5 1/4"Q:
What is the best way to clean this specific flooring?1 answer
Our wood floors are manufactured for maximum durability, easy maintenance and finished with a high quality aluminum oxide water base urethane UV cured finish. This step protects the wood and helps keep the flooring looking beautiful longer. While highly durable, the finish is NOT considered indestructible. However, by observing a few precautions like setting up a regular cleaning routine and simple maintenance program to protect the finish, you can expect years of performance and beauty from your wood floor. All wood floors can show signs of wear over time. There are many factors that can affect the amount of wear. These include the size and lifestyle of your family and product location.Q:
Do I need the underlayment for this flooring that already has the padding attached? It's going to be installed in a kitchen over a subfloor - not over concrete. WIth the attached padding, it seems like overkill to lay additional underlayment. Thoughts? We were looking at the Premium Underlayment1 answer
Additional padding is optional. The only thing we require is have a moisture barrier such as 15 lb felt paper.Q:
I want to install 12mm laminate on one floor of home and have carpet in the three bedrooms. First question is it best to put laminate in first and have carpet people do their part or vice versa? Also what do I need to order for the wood that will be in front of the three doors of bedrooms and also one door bathroom with tile floor in it?1 answer
We recommend installing your laminate flooing first then have the carpet butt up to the transition moloding. You can use a end cap threshold for the carpets and depending on the height difference from the bathroom floor to the new floor will determine what transition would work the best.

Check one more thing off the list on the road to the 2009 season — training camp is here. And the mass of fans lining the far hill of the Broncos practice fields almost an hour and a half before practice kicked off was a little taste of the excitement surrounding Day One.
As players came onto the field — dressed in full pads and uniform, including pants — some took a knee as soon as they hit the grass, pausing to take a moment before the unofficial start of another season.
It was perfect weather for the first day of practice — sunny with a little bit of shade. So without further adieu, here are some quick hits from the first practice session of the team's 2009 training camp.
ROLL CALL: Champ Bailey, Renaldo Hill and Marcus Thomas did not practice on Friday.
"As soon as they're ready to practice physically, they'll be out here," Head Coach Josh McDaniels said. "It's the same with all three of them — just making sure we take the right precautions with those three players."
POSITIONING: Among the hybrid players practicing with linebackers today — Tim Crowder, Elvis Dumervil, Spencer Larsen, Jarvis Moss and Darrell Reid.
DRILLS: Special teams coordinator Mike Priefer continued to preach "catch it inside the 10″ to his players. The unit worked on downing punts inside the 20-yard line, and his rule is not to let the ball bounce if it's inside the 10.
PLAYMAKERS: Brandon Marshall put on a show for the fans in attendance Friday morning. He consistently drew applause from the crowd, once hauling in a catch by reaching an arm out in the opposite direction he was running to pull in the pass. On another occasion he caught a deep ball and proceeded to high-five a young fan walking on the sideline.
QUICK HITS: Music made its glorious return to practices at Dove Valley, and the playlist remained eclectic. When U2′s "Where the Streets Have No Name" blasted through the speakers as the team began to warm up, the crowd gave a loud applause to start the first day of training camp. Young Jeezy's "Put On" brought a little dancing from Marshall during warm-ups, and Rick James' "Super Freak" gives you an idea of just how diverse the selection was.
There is another practice session this evening at 5:30 p.m. MDT.
Below are some pictures of the morning session.

JACKSONVILLE, Texas (AP) — Authorities say a retaining wall collapse in East Texas has left two construction workers dead and another hurt.
The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office says the industrial accident happened Monday near Lake Jacksonville.
Sheriff James Campbell says the workers were trying to install reinforcing steel when a 30-foot section of the concrete and rock wall fell. Campbell says the wall is about 12 to 15 feet tall and a foot thick.
Investigators say 60-year-old Donald Starling and 68-year-old Hollis Morris, both of Tyler, were dead at the scene. Officials say the older man's son, 45-year-old Rodney Morris of Tyler, suffered injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
Jacksonville is 115 miles southeast of Dallas.

Police and fire unions blast inspector general's $1.2 billion in budget ideas
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall Reporter email@example.com September 27, 2012 1:56PM
Updated: October 29, 2012 6:53AM
Police and fire unions on Thursday torched a $1.2 billion roadmap from the city's inspector general that calls for reducing staffing levels on fire apparatus, converting 20 percent of all engines and trucks to ambulances, staffing the Fire Prevention Bureau with civilians and eliminating "non-salary compensation" for firefighters and police officers. Tom Ryan, president of the Chicago Firefighters Union Local 2, said Inspector General Joe Ferguson's "far-fetched" suggestions would "most certainly endanger the lives" of Chicago residents, employees and visitors as well as his own members. The National Fire Protection Association recommends that a minimum of five firefighters staff each piece of fire apparatus in high-target areas, which includes Chicago, a densely-populated city with "high-rise buildings, special needs facilities, industrial and manufacturing districts and numerous hazardous materials-producing institutions," Ryan said. "For someone like Mr. Ferguson … to make these kinds of recommendations is irresponsible and dangerous. When a call for help is made to the Chicago Fire Department, the citizens of this great city need and deserve a fully-staffed response," Ryan said. "To suggest that the Fire Prevention Bureau … be turned over to civilians is equally irresponsible and ridiculous. These members regularly inspect buildings, schools, hospitals and factories to uncover potential fire hazards and other dangers to the public and also assure that there is adequate water supply for fire extinguishment. The … primary function of government must be to protect its citizens. To reduce the value of a human life down to mere dollars and cents is just plain wrong." Fraternal Order of Police President Mike Shields was equally incensed by the $144.4 million proposal to eliminate "non-salary compensation" and by Ferguson's proposal to hire civilians for the Chicago Police Department's Forensic and Administrative Services Bureaus ($6.7 million). "Manpower is way down. Murder is way up — unlike other major cities. Now, the inspector general wants to slash the police budget," Shields said. "The city needs to get its priorities in order. I want to fight crime, I want less people getting killed. Cutting police resources will not accomplish any of that." Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who has a strained relationship with Ferguson, shot down the inspector general's revenue-raising suggestions, albeit a bit more gently. They include: ■ Resurrecting Emanuel's controversial campaign promise to broaden the sales tax to an array of legal, medical, financial, real estate, car repair and accounting services not now covered — branded the "Rahm tax" — to yield $500 million. ■And imposing a $5 London-style congestion fee on vehicles entering the city's Central Business District during the morning and evening rush periods to raise $210 million, even after a 20 percent reduction in traffic and a $300 million capital outlay for checkpoints equipped with cameras and electronic transmitters. "The mayor agrees that massive tax increases are NOT something Chicagoans can afford. He has already rejected any increases in property, sales, fuel or amusement [taxes] and said he will turn to reforms and efficiencies first before every turning to taxpayers." In 2010, Ferguson rocked the boat with a $247.3 million menu of cost-cutting options. Last year, he upped the ante to $3 billion, including a one percent city income tax; a $2.50-per-vehicle toll on Lake Shore Drive; privatizing garbage collection or mandating a "pay-as-you-throw" fee; and imposing the rush-hour congestion fee. Ferguson also resurrected his proposal to reduce from five employees to four the minimum required to staff every piece of fire apparatus. That's the issue that touched off the bitter 1980 firefighters strike. This year, Ferguson's cost-cutting menu has a lot of repeats and a few additions. New on the chopping block are: 25 percent cuts in both the city's communications staff ($920,000) and hours of payment at service offices $1.6 million); eliminating overnight hours at the city's new-and-improved 311 system ($400,000); including Chicago Police officers in the city's wellness plan aimed at reducing skyrocketing health care costs ($6.4 million) and civilianizing the scandal-scarred Fire Prevention Bureau ($1.5 million). On the revenue side, new ideas include: charging a $44 penalty for false residential burglar alarms ($1.9 million); basing sign and permit fees on square footage and raising downtown fees ($350,000); establishing a pedicab license and imposing the ground transportation tax on pedicabs and instituting variable pricing for street closures ($1.7 million). Last year, the mere suggestion of fire cuts raised the fire commissioner's blood to a boil. Robert Hoff said he was "deathly against" closing fire houses or reducing staffing requirement on fire apparatus and warned that it would trigger an increase in fire deaths. In contract talks with firefighters, whose contract expired June 30, Emanuel subsequently took aim at such treasured union perks as: holiday and duty availability pay; clothing allowance; pay grades; premium pay; non-duty lay-up coverage; the physical fitness incentive and the seven percent premium paid to cross-trained firefighter paramedics. The mayor's plan would also allow "double houses" that include both engines and trucks to be staffed by nine firefighters instead of ten.

In a historic building replete with Middle Eastern decor, the custom continues at Cedars Restaurant where award-winning and authentic Middle Eastern and Lebanese dishes are freshly prepared. The unique dining experience includes trememdous ambience, friendly service, great Middle Eastern wines, and moderate prices. If you're tired of mediocre Middle Eastern fare presented in less-than-appealing surroundings, Cedars Restaurant is the obvious step up. With exposed-brick walls, Persian rugs, and high ceilings, the space here reminds you more of an English manor house than a desert palace, but the food puts you in the right geographic state. Cedars Restuarnt menu is extensive, especially in the meatless area, giving vegetarians their fair share of choices. Highlights of the menu include "mazza," a large sampler plate, the fattouch salad, kabobs, and roasted lamb.
