Help is on the way for veterans left homeless by the closing of two Poplar Bluff hotels.
Both the Bluff Inn and the Plaza Hotel are shutting down, leaving some 100 people without a place to live.
Some of those affected are veterans, and the homeless coordinator for the Veteran's Administration is working to assess their situations.
A spokeswoman for the VA Hospital says they hope to connect veterans with available resources as early as next week.

are you actually talking about it being in "sleep" mode? Or just locked? Sleep mode disables connections, so no phone, text, email, etc. Just locked it should not be doing that... check all of your notification settings in the messaging app
i meant just locked. my bad
Still having the problem? Is your mobile data set to always on?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using DroidForums
In Settings, Power, there is "Enable Sleep Mode". If this is set to Automatic (and I think it is by default), it seems that the phone tries to determine for itself when you sleep, and then creates its own schedule when it shuts down the network connections. This would explain why the OP doesn't get texts throughout the night. It also puts a warning in the notification area when it is in this sleep mode. I set mine to manual and set my own times, but I'm thinking about disabling it because the phone is on the charger when I'm sleeping, so I'm not worried about power consumption during that time. Besides, the phone won't respond to one of those mandated presidential alerts that are required if the network can't be accessed.
I may be a little late on this and I apologize for this but I just purchased my Rezound a few days ago and I suffer from the same exact problem but its 50/50. However, a friend of mine also bought this phone with me and hers has this problem 90-95% of the time like you said. But it seems both of our settings are the same. I've toggled all the setting twice over and performed a factory reset. Still no good. It's good to know it's not just me and my friend as a manufacturer defect but also bad that this could be a wide spread problem. But why aren't we hearing more about it? IMO, the Rezound is an amazing phone and solving this inconveniant issue would it make it that much better. If anyone has a solution to this problem, please let us know. Us Rezound users would appreaciate this

The very first flight of a Boeing B-52 took place 60 years ago this weekend. According to the company history on Boeing's Web site, pilots A.M. "Tex" Johnston and Guy Townsend on April 15, 1952, flew a B-52 prototype from Boeing Field in Seattle to Larson Air Force Base in Moses Lake, Wash. (The aircraft in the photo is a more modern B-52 cruising over the Pacific Ocean in July 2010.)

Legend ACD
The Legend is a more affordable way to own high-performance. It's for the discriminating diver who wants performance but would rather not use a breathing control adjustment knob. Like its cousin, the Legend LX, it now boasts an auto-closure device (ACD).
First Stage:
• Auto-Closure Device (ACD) (pat. pend.) seals the regulator's inlet fitting, both yoke and DIN, as soon as regulator is removed from the cylinder valve
• This will keep water and contaminants out of the regulator's first stage during rinsing and storage
• It allows the first stage to maintain peak performance over time
• Compatible with EAN 40 new, out of the box
Second Stage:
• A pneumatically balanced second stage makes this a superior breather at all depths and conditions
• The venturi lever is large and easy to use even with gloved hands
• Comes with a Comfo-bite mouthpiece, a standard spare mouthpiece and a removable mouthpiece clamp

Bringing on the 'garden' at Bar & Garden. Many folks have asked us why we named the store Bar & Garden. The answer is simple: actually, no, it isn't. I guess if you boil it down, it's for two reason: one, because all our products meet a minimum standard, at the end of the day you can trace them all back to a garden somewhere on this lovely, lonely planet of ours. Two, Marissa is a landscape designer by trade, and we wanted to use the store's design and her skills to remind people of the connection between plants and drink. And now that we are building out the tasting area, we are focusing on making it a 'garden' outside the bottle, while the drinks you consume there will remind you of that garden you taste inside the bottle. Ahem. I warned you it wasn't simple!

Morris, Eagles Survive Alice Lloyd
Box Score
Wilmore, Ky. - Asbury survived a scare on Thursday night as they escaped with a 101-93 win over Alice Lloyd. The Eagles were playing for the first time since losing freshman big man Justin Jones to an injury, but his replacement in the starting lineup provided the lift the team needed.
Jamal Morris (Nashville, Tenn.) led the Eagles with a career-high 30 points on 12-of-14 shooting for the floor. The junior guard knocked down all three three-pointers and all three free throws he took. Morris picked up the slack on the boards as well, grabbing a team best seven including four offensive as he came flying in from the perimeter. Jones was leading the KIAC in rebounds and blocks per game before he got injured.
Phillip Morrison (Louisville, Ky.) continued his scoring onslaught as he poured in another 29, giving him 557 this season. If Morrison reaches the 600 point mark this season he would become only the fourth Eagle to score that many points in a season joining Stephen Horn (2003-04), Art McMahon (1998-99) and Jason Price (1997-98, 1998-99, 1999-2000). Morrison also collected six assists which tied his career high.
Another player picking up the slack from missing Jones was Adam Delph who put in an all-around solid effort on Thursday night. Delph struggled shooting the ball, only three-for-nine and zero-for-five from three but still managed to score eight points, dish out eight assists, block three shots, and come away with four steals.
Asbury (14-13, 6-4 KIAC) continued to torch the nets against Alice Lloyd as they hit 13 threes, the Eagles connected on 20 back in January in a 115-78 blowout in Pippa Passes. Brock Hurtle hit six threes at Alice Lloyd and followed in up with another six on Thursday night in the Luce. He finished with 18 points and four rebounds. Asbury shot 46% from three and 52% from the floor. Alice Lloyd connected on 46% from the floor and 35% from three.
Asbury currently sits in 3rd place in the KIAC, a full game behind Brescia and a half game ahead of Berea. The Eagles will host Berea on Tuesday, but will first welcome the #4 team in NAIA DII, Indiana-Southeast and their perfect 9-0 KIAC record on Saturday February 13th. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:00 pm.

Dr. Vandana Shiva: the "GOLDEN RICE" hoax - when public relations replaces science to promote a technology for creating Vitamin A deficiency
May 15, 2013Golden rice has been heralded as the miracle cure for malnutrition and hunger of which 800m members of the human community suffer. Herbicide resistant and toxin producing genetically engineered plants can be objectionable because of their ecological and social costs. But who could possibly object to rice engineered to produce vitamin A, a deficiency found in nearly 3 million children, largely in the Third World?
As remarked by Mary Lou Guerinot, the author of the Commentary on Vitamin A rice in Science, one can only hope that this application of plant genetic engineering to ameliorate human misery without regard to short term profit will restore this technology to political acceptability. Unfortunately, Vitamin A rice is a hoax, and will bring further dispute to plant genetic engineering where public relations exercises seem to have replaced science in promotion of untested, unproven and unnecessary technology.
The problem is that vitamin A rice will not remove vitamin A deficiency (VAD). It will seriously aggravate it. It is a technology that fails in its promise. Currently, it is not even known how much vitamin JA the genetically engineered rice will produce. The goal is 33.3% micrograms/100g of rice. Even if this goal is reached after a few years, it will be totally ineffective in removing VAD.
Since the daily average requirement of vitamin A is 750 micrograms of vitamin A and 1 serving contains 30g of rice according to dry weight basis, vitamin A rice would only provide 9.9 micrograms which is 1.32% of the required allowance. Even taking the 100g figure of daily consumption of rice used in the technology transfer paper would only provide 4.4% of the RDA.
In order to meet the full needs of 750 micrograms of vitamin A from rice, an adult would have to consume 2 kg 272g of rice per day. This implies that one family member would consume the entire family ration of 10 kg. from the PDS in 4 days to meet vitaminA needs through "Golden rice".
This is a recipe for creating hunger and malnutrition, not solving it.
Besides creating vitamin A deficiency, vitamin A rice will also create deficiency in other micronutrients and nutrients. Raw milled rice has a low content of Fat (0.5g/100g). Since fat is necessary for vitamin A uptake, this will aggravate vitamin A deficiency. It also has only 6.8g/100g of protein, which means less carrier molecules. It has only 0.7g/100g of iron, which plays a vital role in the conversion of beta-carotene (precursor of vitamin A found in plant sources) to vitamin A. Superior Alternatives exist and are effective.
A far more efficient route to removing vitamin A deficiency is biodiversity conservation and propagation of naturally vitamin A rich plants in agriculture and diets.
The following is a list of sources rich in vitamin A which are used commonly in Indian foods. (microgram/100g)

In spite of the diversity of plants evolved and bred for their rich vitamin A content, a report of the Major Science Academies of the World - Royal Society, U.K., National Academy of Sciences of the USA, The Third World Academy of Science, Indian National Science Academy, Mexican Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Brazilian Academy of Sciences - on Transgenic Plants and World Agriculture has stated, Vitamin A deficiency causes half a million children to become partially or totally blind each year.
Traditional breeding methods have been unsuccessful in producing crops containing a high vitamin A concentration and most national authorities rely on expensive and complicated supplementation programs to address the problem. Researchers have introduced three new genes into rice, two from daffodils and one from a microorganism. The transgenic rice exhibits an increased production of beta-carotene as a precursor to vitamin A and the seed in yellow in colour. Such yellow, or golden rice, may be a useful tool to help treat the problem of vitamin A deficiency in young children living in the tropics.
It appears as if the world's top scientists suffer a more severe form of blindness than children in poor countries. The statement that "traditional breeding has been unsuccessful in producing crops high in vitamin A" is not true given the diversity of plants and crops that Third World farmers, especially women have bred and used which are rich sources of vitamin A such as coriander, amaranth, carrot, pumpkin, mango, jackfruit.
It is also untrue that vitamin A rice will lead to increased production of beta-carotene. Even if the target of 33.3 microgram of vitamin A in 100g of rice is achieved, it will be only 2.8% of beta-carotene we can obtain from amaranth leaves 2.4% of beta-carotene obtained from coriander leaves, curry leaves and drumstick leaves. Even the World Bank has admitted that rediscovering and use of local plants and conservation of vitamin A rich green leafy vegetables and fruits have dramatically reduced VAD threatened children over the past 20 years in very cheap and efficient ways. Women in Bengal use more than 200 varieties of field greens. Over a 3 million people have benefited greatly from a food based project for removing VAD by increasing vitamin A availability through home gardens. The higher the diversity crops the better the uptake of pro-vitamin A.
The reason there is vitamin A deficiency in India in spite of the rich biodiversity a base and indigenous knowledge base in India is because the Green Revolution technologies wiped out biodiversity by converting mixed cropping systems to monocultures of wheat and rice and by spreading the use of herbicides which destroy field greens.
In spite of effective and proven alternatives, a technology transfer agreement has been signed between the Swiss Government and the Government of India for the transfer of genetically engineered vitamin A rice to India.
The ICAR, ICMR, ICDS, USAIUD, UNICEF, WHO have been identified as potential partners. The breeding and transformation is to be carried out at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack and Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana and University of Delhi, South Campus. The Indian varieties in which the vitamin A traits are expected to be engineered have been identified as IR 64, Pusa Basmati, PR 114 and ASD 16.
Dr. M.S. Swaminathan has been identified as "God father" to ensuring public acceptance of genetically engineered rice. DBT & ICAR are also potential partners for guaranteeing public acceptance and steady progress of the project.
Genetically engineered vitamin A rice will aggravate this destruction since it is part of an industrial agriculture, intensive input package. It will also lead to major water scarcity since it is a water intensive crop and displaces water prudent sources of vitamin A.
The first step in the technology transfer of vitamin A rice requires a need assessment and an assessment of technology availability. One assessment shows that vitamin A rice fails to pass the need test. The technology availability issue is related to whether the various elements and methods used for the construction of transgenic crop plants are covered by intellectual property rights. Licenses for these rights need to be obtained before a product can be commercialized. The Cornell based ISAAA (International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Application) has been identified as the partner for ensuring technology availability by ensuring technology availability by having material transfer agreements signed between the representative authority of the ICAR and the "owners" of the technology, Prof. I. Potrykus and Prof. P. Beyer.
In addition, Novartis and Kerin Breweries have patents on the genes used as constructs for the vitamin A rice. At a public hearing on Biotechnology at U.S. Congress on 29th June 2000, Astra-Zeneca stated they would be giving away royalty free licenses for the development of "Golden rice".
At a workshop organized by the M. S. Swaminathan Research Foundation, Dr. Barry of Monsanto's Rice Genome initiative announced that it will provide royalty-free licenses for all its technologies that can help the further development of "golden rice".
Hence these gene giants Novartis, Astra-Zeneca and Monsanto are claiming exclusive ownership to the basic patents related to rice research. Further, neither Monsanto nor Astra - Zeneca said they will give up their patents on rice - they are merely giving royalty free licenses to public sector scientists for development of "golden rice". This is an arrangement for a public subsidy to corporate giants for R&D since they do not have the expertise or experience with rice breeding which public institutions have.
Not giving up the patents, but merely giving royalty free licenses implies that the corporations like Monsanto would ultimately like to collect royalties from farmers for rice varieties developed by public sector research systems. Monsanto has stated that it expects long term gains from these IPR arrangements, which implies markets in rice as "intellectual property" which cannot be saved or exchanged for seed. The real test for Monsanto would be its declaration of giving up any patent claims to rice now and in the future and joining the call to remove plants and biodiversity out of TRIPS. Failing such an undertaking by Monsanto the announcement that Monsanto giving royalty free licenses for development of vitamin A rice like the rice itself can only be taken as a hoax to establish monopoly over rice production, and reduce rice farmers of India into bio-serfs.
While the complicated technology transfer package of "Golden Rice" will not solve vitamin A problems in India, it is a very effective strategy for corporate take over of rice production, using the public sector as a Trojan horse.

Inlet Optical Eye Care Center's experienced optometrist and amenable staff perform a full range of optic services in a neighborhood practice stuffed with legions of marine-themed decorations. Comprehensive eye exams, each performed by board-certified optometric physician Michael Lessly, divine peepers' medical problems, prescriptions, and x-ray-vision aptitude, including a precise refraction test to confirm correct glasses prescriptions. Patients toy with losing frames altogether during a spherical contact-lens exam, complete with training in insertion, removal, and microfiche decoding.
At each of Advanced Vision Care's five locations, a team of optometric physicians examines peepers of all age brackets for signs of aberration or disease. They then furnish patients with prescriptions that can be formed into contact lenses or slung into stylish frames from the likes of Prada, Lacoste, and BCBG. The staff also performs Lasik consultations, in which they determine candidacy, recommend a Lasik doctor, and provide a series of post-op checks. Most locations house a multilingual team, who can answer questions or reflect on metaphysical quandaries in English, Spanish, or Hebrew.
Though SEE Eyewear's specs are only found in their stores, their designs sprout from imaginations around the world. Winner of reader's choice awards in cities ranging from San Francisco to Nashville, SEE Eyewear stocks its frames directly from fashionable frame crafters and passes on the savings of doing business at the source to customers. The company calls on fashion designers from France, Italy, and other style-conscious countries to create one-of-a kind designs to be featured on store shelves and client faces. Before that happens, though, each potential frame goes through a rigorous design and review process to ensure its distinctiveness and quality before it can be added to the national eyewear shop's exclusive coveted selection.
From cat-eye to horn-rimmed and perfectly round to wayfarer-inspired, the cost of each frame includes single-vision lenses, giving customers the simplicity of a flat price that doesn't require customers to pay an extra prescription fee or mine their own bifocal quarry. SEE Eyewear also trains its staff members to be aesthetically savvy so they can find the perfect fashion-forward, vision-correcting specs for any face shape, mood, or fashion sense.
The optical experts at Lake Worth Vision Center ensure clear vision by providing clients with medical care and stylish eyewear. They hone in on ocular problems and diseases during exams and fit eyes with contacts and glasses to clarify fuzzy sight. The knowledgeable team is always on hand to answer all of their clients' vision-related questions, such as, "What are the benefits of disposable lenses?" and "Do these glasses make me look smarter?"
At Clear Vue Eye Center, board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Monique M. Barbour helps rejuvenate eyes with prescription lenses and aesthetic treatments. During eye exams, she assesses vision strength and looks for signs of glaucoma, cataracts, or eyes that remain dry during viewings of Old Yeller. For aesthetic services, Dr. Barbour can bolster lashes with Latisse and smooth away fine lines and wrinkles with Botox injections.
Clear Vue boasts a large selection of eyeglasses from designer brands such as Kate Spade, Vera Wang, and Prada. An onsite, full-service lab allows the staff to craft lenses and make any needed repairs or adjustments in a timely manner.

I'm 5'11 and wear 6 inch heels which puts me at 6'5 when I'm all dolled up in my naughty attire.
I agree 100% with your statement about feeling "petite" with a taller man. I have the exact experiences. When a man who is shorter tries to dance with me, he pulls me over because I am too tall to be pulled up to his chest in form. A taller man pulls me close and my body automatically fits.
One thing only another tall woman can understand is ......The sexual positions that can only be done correctly and with pleasure when a tall woman is with a tall man. Men like to think they can do all positions when the woman is taller. But they can't. A perfect example is standing up with him behind me. Only a tall man can be in that position correctly without bending my back down and twisting me uncomfortably. He can walk straight up behind me and keep his chest to my back the entire time while I fall into him as he bites on my neck. A short man simply can't reach to do all that. All positions with a man my height or shorter require me to bend and twist in unnatural ways that remove a good portion of the pleasures had with a taller man whose body wraps around mine like a finely wrapped gift.

On Tuesday, after liveblogging my read-through of Pennsylvania's HB1077, the bill which would force unwanted endovaginal ultrasounds on most persons seeking an abortion in the state, I sent a scathing email to my state representative, Harry Readshaw, who is a co-sponsor of the bill. To be entirely fair, I dislike my representative a great deal. He's nominally a democrat, yet he's entirely anti-choice, he also introduced a copy of the Arizona "papers please" anti-immigrant bill in this legislative session. I don't know why he calls himself a democrat, but he does, and I hold him accountable. I wrote: Dear Representative Readshaw: I know this message will fall on deaf ears as you're firmly committed to destroying my constitutional right to control my reproductive life, nevertheless, this legislation that you are co-sponsoring is both onerous and offensive and I feel it my responsibility as your constituent to let you know that your support of this bill completely erodes any possibility of my continued support for you. Fact: there is no evidence, from actual empirical studies, that ultrasounds change people's minds when they're seeking an abortion. All that these "educational" ultrasounds do is add unneeded time, expense and delay to the process and, as a consequence, increase the number of medical complications that arise. If the goal is to improve women's health, this bill is already a failure on its face. Fact: More than 60% of those seeking an abortion already have had at least one child. they know what pregnancy is, how it works, and what continuing an unwanted pregnancy would mean to their lives and the lives of their families. they don't need counseling, waiting periods or extra ultrasounds to "know" as per this "right to know" concept. Women do have independent intellect. We are able to come to decisions about important issues in our lives without being handheld or spoonfed information, and if there's information that women want or need to know, we are capable of asking for ourselves. The arrogant overriding of women's agency and presumption of women's ignorance inherent in this bill, from its very first line, and the "right to know" language makes me wonder: if women are so dreadfully incapable of independent decision making and learning, how on earth are they meant to parent the end results of the pregnancies that they're being encouraged not to terminate? Or the children that they already have? The illogical position that you are espousing by co-sponsoring and, I'm sure, ultimately voting for this repulsive piece of legislation speaks volumes about your inherent disdain and mistrust of women and bigotry against us. Given that, I'm not sure why you think that more than half of the electorate should support you, given that you've demonstrated time and again how little you think of us, our abilities and ultimately, our humanity. Yeah, I was a little bit fired up, because this bill? Is ridiculous. (Yes, I also went to "women" rather than my normal gender neutral language. This dude is a Neanderthal, no way was he going to grasp the point of gender neutrality.) Today, I received an oversized manilla envelope from Rep. Readshaw. Inside was a printout of HB 1077, a printout of some database's information about me, indicating where I live, that I'm not the head of the household (why/how it knows this I do not know) and a few other things about me, like ethnicity, that no elected official should or needs to know. I'm going to have to get to the bottom of that. Also included was a printout of my email, with the phrases "will fall on deaf ears" "destroying my constitutional right" and "my continued support for you" underlined in red ink. Apparently these phrases were exceptionally offensive? I don't know. And then there was the letter you see above. Handwritten by the representative himself, in all its chickenscratchy, grammatically questionable glory. Let's break it down together, shall we? First, note the black bar? That's where the letter was addressed to me solely by my first name. (Government name, hence the censoring.) Not Ms. Lastname, not even Dear Firstname, just Firstname, as if he knows me and is writing to a friend. I don't play that way. I gave him the respect of referring to him by title, he'll do the same if he ever addresses me again. He writes: This is obviously a reference to my amazing assertion that "women do have independent intellect." He disdains that, clearly. And thinks that if we choose abortion, we're immoral. And I, by extension, am immoral for my stance. The inference is pretty clear to me, how about you? So this is a moral issue, which says to me that it's not a legal issue. If it's about morality, that's not for the state to legislate to me, it's for me to determine a course of action about, perhaps with the people I trust to discuss moral issues with, and whose guidance I can trust. Let's move on, though, shall we? This blew my socks off. The arrogance and ignorance you're about to read from a sitting elected official is absolutely breathtaking. Where do I start? Apparently in whatever fantasy land this man inhabits, everyone has access to contraceptives. We know this is false. We know that this is demonstrably false. Apparently in that same fantasy land, contraception is 100% effective in every case. We know that this is demonstrably false. Apparently in that same fantasy land there is no rape, no coercion, no sexual abuse, no domestic violence, no birth control sabotage. There should be no need to consider. Nothing to think about. Just move along, you irresponsible killer sluts. How dare he? I'm seething here. Seething. Once again, he misuses quotes to try to paraphrase things I wrote in my email, and does dreadful things to proper English grammatical syntax. Also? I really don't care what he believes, the evidence contradicts him. This bill says in the very first line that we are too ignorant to understand our own pregnancies. It's disdainful, it's brimming with mistrust of our knowledge and our ability to make decisions for ourselves, ask questions for ourselves or understand our needs and those of our families, and I'll stand by bigotry every day. That's what underpins this all. And yes, women can be bigoted against other women. I think we've all seen and experienced that. It's evident on its face — if you're willing to look. Really? Are you just now getting that, Harry? Also, note that word feeling I don't have thoughts or positions or stances, I have feelings. Little hypersensitive woman that I am. Yeah, the tone is clear, isn't it? Now, prepare to be appalled, if you're not already, because he's about to cross a line so broad and so unbelievable it will take your breath away. HE JUST DISCLOSED HIS DAUGHTER'S PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION IN AN EFFORT TO JUSTIFY HIS SUPPORT OF THIS BILL AND GENERAL ANTI-CHOICE POSITION. Sorry for shouting, no, actually, I'm not. I am beyond disbelief that he believes that this woman's personal pain, her private information, her reproductive status is fair game to be bandied around like this, to be used to score political points, as a gotcha at me. She can't have babies and I want to KILL THEM! What kind of person am I that I could possibly support other people having autonomy over their own reproduction when she doesn't have any? What kills me is that he doesn't actually know whether I'm pro-choice. My email to him didn't say. I'm opposed to forced endovaginal ultrasounds before abortions, that doesn't mean that I necessarily like abortions. For the record, I don't much care for them. I wish no one ever had to have one. But that isn't reality. Even with ideal comprehensive sexual education, universal healthcare and unfettered contraceptive access there will still be pregnancies that cannot be sustained. That's why I'm pro-choice because I recognize reality, and because it's not my right to interfere in other people's medical choices. But it doesn't matter to him. Anyone who has support for autonomy is some kind of horrible monster who'd kill the precious thing his daughter wants and can't have. What he doesn't know, couldn't know, in his fantasy land of assumptions and presumptions, is that I too am actually incapable of having much-wanted children. (I'll give benefit of the doubt that his daughter actually is, that he's not making that up to justify himself.) And yet, despite the fact that being pregnant would make me incredibly happy, and won't ever happen, I still recognize that my desire to be pregnant is not universal and I cannot expect other people to continue pregnancies that they do not want, cannot afford, cannot physically or emotionally sustain, just because of my feelings about pregnancy for me. I am not other people. I cannot expect them to live their lives as I would. That's kind of the cornerstone of what liberty is, isn't it? Let's press on, before I get all maudlin all over this thing. Huh, doctors are opposed to a broadly invasive and overreaching bill that directly interferes with patient care and injects politics into treatment rooms. Is that surprising? Is that extraordinary? I don't think so. And when this thing blows up, as Texas should have and Virginia has, and it will, I think that this number will change. And now, I'm going to do my best to be sure of it. One last note, remember when I said that in the envelope with the letter was a printout of some database's information about me? Check out the last line again: I'm going to presume that there is some database that shows how many times I've voted since I registered in 1991. (The answer is "twice a year, every year, or 42 times thus far.) But why is he looking that up before sending me a letter in response to me writing to him? Why is it germane? Why is it his business? Why is it legal? Do I not get a letter if I don't vote or vote often enough for his tastes? I'm going to be looking into this too, I assure you. Now, the question is: what to do about this. First, I'm definitely writing him back, and calling. I have a few words to say, the first of which will be don't you ever call me by first name again. Start with basic respect and work from there. Other than that? I'm not sure. I'm still seething. I've been essentially called an immoral baby killer here, by my elected representative, and he's disclosed information about his daughter that is reprehensible. There should be some consequences for this. I'd say that you should all email Representative Readshaw and let him know what you think of his letter, but he only accepts email from constituents. But if anyone is inclined to send him postal mail Representative Harry A. Readshaw If you're inclined to call or fax: Call: 412-881-4208 or 717-783-0411 If you have other suggestions for responses, please share. I don't think that this should go unaddressed.I know this message will fall on deaf ears but….. I do not choose to debate "intellect" vs. morals. As I believe morals should overwhelmingly be the favorite.
There should be no need to consider "what continuing an unwanted pregnancy would mean to their lives." This can be controlled by contraception. Why create and kill? Simply, do not create….. Be responsible!
Seven cosponsors are women of HB1077 and I do not believe any of the cosponsors have a "disdain and mistrust of women or bigotry against them."
You stated my position is "illogical" and your feeling is no doubt prompted by disagreement with my stance on the subject.
I have a daughter that is not biologically capable of having a child due to complications. She cannot bear a child and you want to kill them. She has also experienced 2 miscarriages. Sorry, I disagree with your convictions.
As of this date, you are the only person other than 2 medical doctors that have contacted me in the negative.
Congratulations on your voting record it is very good!

text: Looking for advice. We have had water gathering in the back yard from the sump pump run off. I discovered a clogged "french drain?" I ran a hose into the opening of the pvc and found the it had a SOLID clog. I have dug out and cut away slowly and I am finding the pipe to be clogged with clay and gravel. I had cut away 5 ft. and found an elbow. I am now about 8 ft. and still finding the pipe clogged solid. I tried flushing with the garden hose but because of our clay soil and all the gravel the clog is solid. I am having dig and to cut bit by bit. Not sure were all the gravel came from. Am I doing the right thing? Any advise would be appreciate!
