The first time I had my "identity" erased was actually by O'Reilly. Ok, to be fair it was by his people.
I was invited to attend Foo Camp in 2006 and was then invited to speak at both Web 2.0 Expo and Emerging Telephony in 2007. So, I was asked to fill out my speaker information and list my "company affiliation" as Identity Woman. I didn't really work for anyone (I really never have) and that was my "identity" after all. So I think they will get it and its all good.
I am really excited I was asked to speak and really like wow! its an O'Reilly Conference and Wow! and I want to see my name in the program - for the first time ever...in a program of a major conference....I open it up and well...I'm not Identity Woman. My identity was erased because "Identity Woman" didn't meet their "style guidelines".
They arbitrarily decided what that should be and listed me with that. Then to ad insult to injury because I had written the bio-blurb about me assuming Identity Woman was my affiliation I didn't put it in there. So there was no mention of where you could find me on the web in the physical program.
Me being young and naive and this being my first conference and feeling REALLY viscerally upset about being erased I dashed of a perhaps to strongly worded and overly emotional e-mail a few including Surj and Brady who were leading the program committee.
Hi guys,
So I am a bit confused.
I CLEARLY am Identity Woman. AND some how this identifier was eliminated from my description on you website and in the program.
I am basically an independent person who has fordged my own unique role in my ecology. My identity is Identity Woman that is where people should go to find me. Not having this listed in the program OR on the website is marginalizing me.
If you have a specific need to associate me with a formal 'organization' or 'standard' I am happy to also support your identification 'needs' - (OpenID/Internet Identity Workshop) but you made these associations for me and eliminated my primary identity without asking me first. OR AT THE VERY LEAST PUTTING Identity Woman into the description below.
Please be more thoughtful and considerate of this in the future.
I was back channeled this:
This is really bad form Kaliya. You need to think what your saying before you type. This makes people who do their job as best they can feel bad. Can you please send an apology.
I wrote this:
Hi guys,
I spoke with Vee this morning and she let me know that the mistake about my identity might have arrisn from the style guide formalities. I know that you are all doing your best and I am sorry for the overly emotional tone of my e-mail yesterday.
Thanks for having me come and share the work that Identity Community has been working on. It was fun to finally get up on stage I am looking forward to the Web 2.0 Expo.
This was one of Brady's first conferences too and I really upset him (I'm sorry that wasn't my intention). Sadly, Brady and I have yet to have a conversation that is anything except tensely polite. I don't think he ever forgave me even though we verbally agreed to in the hallway that day. They never really apologized just explained it away.... bureaucracy and implied I should just be happy that I was presenting not to be worried about my self presentation (but it's my "identity" and I'm Identity Woman...I kept thinking). Vee the woman, who had been with O'Reilly for years and was the speaker co-ordinator for the event, she was lovely and empathetic. She apologized and agreed to change it online.
I know now how much work running conferences is having done 150 myself. One of the reasons I love unconferences is because there is no program to print out with everyone's name written correctly with the right affiliations etc.
I am getting much better at advocating and explaining my need to list my online identity "Identity Woman" when ever I am speaking. I was invited to speak about the startups in the Personal Data Ecosystem Consortium contextualized relative to the World Economic Forum Report at the National Strategy for Trusted Identities in Cyberspace privacy workshop in June in Boston by Jeremy Grant head of the National Program Office. (preso here if you wanna see it) I was asked how I should/could be listed in the program and I requested that Identity Woman be listed - he agreed.
I continue to stand for my name, my identity in Google+ asserting the right to choose the headline of MY PROFILE page in Google. Is it my profile reflecting my words or their profile "of me".

NARRAGANSETT—After the proposed FY 2012-13 town budget was presented to the public at Monday's regular meeting, the Town Council will now go about reviewing the budget and its monetary allotments. The Council, along with Town Manager Grady Miller, scheduled multiple work sessions throughout the week, and listened to department heads regarding their accomplishments, goals, and budget requests for the upcoming fiscal year.
In today's paper,find out how Narragansett officials balanced the town's budget for next year.
This week, the Coastal Resources Management Council rejected the South Kingstown's application to reclassify the Matunuck shoreline. However, parties agreed that finding a comprehensive solution that combines beach replenishment with minimal reinforcement is the best option.
South County Hospital also announced plans to see whether it should team up with Westerly Hospital to make a health care system for all of Washington County.
After nearly two years of anticipation, the Wickford Junction Train Station opened Monday to much fanfare. This week, we bring you all the information you need on the new commuter rail, plus tell you what local, state and national dignitaries had to say about the new station and its potential impact on South County.
In addition, we bring you an in-depth look at a brewing controversy in Exeter as the euthanization of a pair of pitbulls has caused a tide of outrage in the community.
All that and much, much more in this week's Standard-Times. Pick up a copy today!
NARRAGANSETT—Town Manager Grady Miller presented the proposed FY 2012-13 operating and capital budget on Monday evening to the Town Council, highlighting a number of expenses and potential challenges, including Other Post Employment Benefits (OPEB) costs and funding new capital projects. Monday night was the first of two public hearings on the town budget, and the Town Council will hold workshops throughout this week to address their concerns, which are open to the public.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – In a one-sentence press release, the Southern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce announced Monday morning that Joseph J. Iacoi will no longer serve as executive director.
"The Southern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce and Joseph J. Iacoi wish to announce the conclusion to Joe's work at the Chamber and each extends the other best wishes for success in the future," the statement read.
In today's paper, the Narragansett Town Council votes unanimously to support Governor Lincoln Chafee's municipal pension package.
Narragansett Town Manager also presented the proposed $51.4 million for FY 2012-2013. This is an increase of $803,432 from the current fiscal budget.
Also, Joe Iacoi, the executive director of the Southern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce, has officially resigned from his position.
South Kingstown resident Deborah Bergner also questions a set of new ground rules at the town council chambers.

SAUNDERSTOWN – Located off Route 1 is 57 acres of pristine landscaping where horse lovers can come and observe the four-legged animals and learn how to ride them.
Formally Freedom Horse Farm, the property has now been taken over by new owners who are feverishly working to erase the past and bring a positive outlook to the once ragged land.

Special to the Standard
NORTH KINGSTOWN – Thomas Kutcher stands in the shimmering sunlight of a very warm spring afternoon, inhaling the distinctly fishy aroma of work boats tied up at the Town Dock, at the end of Main Street.
It is like sweet perfume to this man who has found his greatest delights growing up on Narragansett Bay, specifically the Warren River; he became an accomplished surfer – his favorite spots were off Bonnet Shores and Narragansett Pier – swimmer and boater.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – Erica Denhoff chose the hottest Boston Marathon in history to make her running debut – and lived to tell the tale.
While people all around her were falling by the wayside – even last year's male and female winners dropped out – the pint-size former NKHS athlete kept going.
She finished in six hours, 16 minutes and four seconds.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – In the beginning of the year, the North Kingstown town council and school committee signed a consent agreement as a way to control the school district's spending because of an anticipated deficit. Within that agreement, an independent auditor was tasked with identifying areas in which cost savings could be achieved.
The results are in and the school district is pleased with the findings.

Servings: 8
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min
Difficulty: Easy
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 cups sliced baby bella mushrooms
1/4 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup white wine
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 1/2 pounds fresh medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails intact
1 cup fresh spinach
1 (16-ounce) package penne pasta, cooked
1/2 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cream, wine, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper and simmer until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Mix in the shrimp, stirring frequently, until the shrimp are pink and firm, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook for 1 minute.
In a large serving bowl, combine the shrimp mixture and hot cooked pasta, tossing gently to coat. Sprinkle with the cheese.
Paula & Bobby, I watch your show every day but one day last week (can't remember which day but it must have been Tuesday because that's the only day you have a shrimp recipe listed) I watched you cook a shrimp & baby bella mushroom recipe that Bobby said was his son's favorite meal. I was called out of the room during part of it so I didn't catch the entire recipe. I sure missed the part about there being a pint of heavy whipping cream in it. I was hoping to make the recipe for my family but my husband is diabetic (struggling to maintain) and I just can't serve him this. Is this the recipe you made on the show? If it is, can I use no fat half & half in place of the cream without ruining the flavor? If it's not the correct recipe, can you please send me the right one or post it here on your web site. I'm sure others would be interested as well. Thanks so much! I LOVE watching the show & really enjoy having Bobby's lighter versions of your great recipes.
By Dawn on February 26, 2013
I LOVED this...so did the family. Yes, even my mother-in-law raved! It doesn't get any better than that. I did take the tails off the shrimp (such a pain to try to eat shrimp in a sauce with the tails on) AND I couldn't find fresh spinach on the day I wanted to make it (we live in a small town) so I had to use frozen. I'm sure it is better with fresh spinach, but we loved it all the same.
By BettyAnn on September 05, 2012
Saw this one day on "Paula's Best Dishes" and I just had to try it. It is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO yummy and super easy to make We had it with some bruschetta and it was the perfect meal. Next time, though, I WILL use less butter (perhaps only 1/4 cup)...Definitely not a meal to have if you're on a strict diet :S So, thank goodness I'm NOT! Wonderful recipe, Paula. I'll definitely try some of your other recipes!
By LC on April 22, 2012
I'm gonna try this recipe very soon to surprise my girlfriend for dinner. Can't wait to see her face. Will let u know how it turns out. Maybe she will marry me because of it. Thanks for the recipe and for your show. I enjoy it very much. You and your sons make cooking seem so easy compared to other show I've watched. You all make me feel apart of the family. Thank you for that!
By Brady Baker on October 17, 2011
Easy and soooooo Good!
By neile grist on September 02, 2011
Love the recipes! Purchased the stainless steel copper bottom cookware. Absolutely love it! I'm 57 yrs old and have run a actually 50's drive-in for the past 32 years with my husband and for the last 10 yrs also with our oldest son and daughter-in-law. We now work 3 days a week but I love to cook on my days off. Really enjoy your show. We used to get back-to-back episodes of Home Cooking and Best Dishes. Now just Best Dishes. But that's ok! Too bad we didn't have satelitte until January of this year. I have yet to make a recipe that my husband has not enjoyed. Have shared many recipes with friends and family. Would love to be able to come to Georgia someday or somehow meet you! We love to fish and will be starting Salmon fishing on Friday! Thanks for all your hard work. Sincerely, Judy Lohrer

Centuries ago, the Ute Indians retreated to this canyon to escape the summer heat and hunt the abundant game. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Stewarts, a family of Scottish immigrants, had settled the canyon. While the first generations were mostly surveyors and sheepherders, the next generation saw excitement and opportunity in the snow-laden slopes beneath Mount Timpanogos.
In the fifties, the Stewarts opened Timphaven, a local ski resort which boasted a chair lift, a rope tow, and a burger joint named Ki-Te-Kai, Maori for "Come and get it!" (One of the Stewarts had served as a Mormon missionary to the islands.)
In 1969, Robert Redford bought Timphaven and much of the surrounding land from the Stewart family, and Sundance was born. Rejecting advice from New York investors to fill the canyon with an explosion of lucrative hotels and condominiums, Redford saw his newly acquired land as an ideal locale for environmental conservation and artistic experimentation.
This place in the mountains,
amid nature's casualness toward death and birth,
is the perfect host for the inspiration of ideas:
harsh at times, life threatening in its winters of destruction, but
tender in attention to the details of every petal of every wildflower
resurrected in the spring.
Nature and creativity obey the same laws,
to the same end: life.
- Robert Redford
As with most experiments, there were a few early setbacks. A dinner/movie night was abandoned when waiters repeatedly collided in the darkness. A mountain man rendezvous never saw past the first year because the deafening roar of the musket and cannon competition sent both wild and domestic animals scrambling for the Wyoming border.
Years of experimentation and refinement have ultimately resulted in what we now call Sundance. The Sundance Institute, the spectacular skiing, the stunning natural scenery, and the tasteful excellence of the accommodations combine to make Sundance dynamically unique. Sundance's ability to blend process and place that puts it in uncharted waters on a steady course of its own.
People here come from all walks of life, but one belief is shared: our community should represent who we are and what we believe. Sundance is an arts community, a recreational community, a community of people who appreciate the beauty of nature and feel the responsibility to preserve it. We want to help you find those elements of the Sundance experience which will most meet your needs and your dreams. As you'll see, Sundance has many shapes, many moods, and many possibilities. Somewhere in our community awaits an experience which belongs to you and we are committed to helping you find it.

The Beauceron is a well-developed breed. Its body is in complete equality so that there are no exaggerations. It is only somewhat longer than it is tall. Its head is long with ears that are set high on the head and v-shaped. Some types may exhibit cropped ears. From the head extends a level and muscular neck. A proud, broad chest extends slightly at the front of the body. The legs are muscular; the frontquarters straight while the hindquarters are set at an angle. The tail hangs low and curls slightly upward. The coat is shiny, but coarse and dense. Read More

1.You�re not Clark Griswold and you never will be. It is the inherent ability of every male to think they can have the most brilliant Christmas light display the first time they hang lights. You won�t. We all start out with a vision of splendor. But three things usually get in the way of fulfilling such a vision: time, money and spouse (and the same thing that makes us think we can rebuild a �65 Mustang � ego). Before you go nuts you�d better get a handle on all this. Chances are you won�t have the time to create the complete masterpiece you envision, the money it takes will be more than you have and convincing your significant other that lights are more important than shoes for the kids won�t be an easy sale. Be conservative your first time out. Learn as you go.
2. Before you get the ladder out, do some research. There are so many options out there. And there are lots of rules, too. Locate your power sources and determine how much of a strain hanging Christmas lights will put on your home electrical. I had a friend who would lose all power to his house if he turned on his Christmas display and the dishwasher at the same time. That lead to daily arguments about whether to turn on the lights or just skip dinner.
3. Be a neighbor. Talk with neighbors who already have good Christmas light displays. Offer yourself as a helper as they build their display so you can ask them about costs, city ordinances (some places have them), sources and how they keep their marriage together, etc. Doing it with someone who has built the expertise, has the tools and likes free labor will save you so much in money and aggravation down the road.
4. Put a figure on paper and stick to it. Before you dream of any kind of display know exactly how much you can and cannot spend. Those with massive prolific displays likely didn�t get there over night and you won�t either. Lights, decorations and all the tools and equipment that go into building a great display cost a lot of money. Anyone who tells you different is getting coal for Christmas from Santa. In this hobby there is nothing that is cheap, free or inexpensive. If you build and invest year to year your display will get better and better.
5. Shop. Most places have Christmas lights out to buy right after Labor Day. Some have them year round. Go and look at it all and take notes. Consider the value of commercial grade lights and how long they might last as opposed to the cheap stuff found in discount stores.
6. Put your plan on paper before you do anything. That way you can track where you are at and the paramedics will know what your intent was when they find the body.
7. Have children. Seriously. You will need several pairs of hands, someone with eye-hand coordination and a cheering squad to help you out. Never work alone.
8. Test everything before you hang it. Nobody likes to hear a grown man swear in the dark.
9. Never hang lights that are plugged in. Especially if you are using a metal ladder. You know this already and will ignore it but decency compels me to remind you that safety is first.
10. Invest in video and camera equipment. Take pictures as you go and make a record of your efforts. They will serve as a good reminder before next summer when your visions of grandeur totally diminish your common sense.

Oak Hill Elementary School fifth-graders Anthony Compton, left, and Chevy Wykoff take some time away from their class to look for a new book to read. Oak Hill students are bringing some extra money to school this week to do the same. Until Friday, the school's media center is holding its annual Scholastic Book Fair, a fundraiser for the school. Students in all grade levels have the chance to purchase a variety of books. The fair kicked off with a special family read-in on Thursday night.

Sunday is turning into Christmas morning, when all the presents will be unwrapped starting around 3 PM.
Okay, okay, I hate late Christmas mornings too, but there's nothing we can do about that... "We" being those who are eagerly waiting for the festivities to commence.
On Tuesday evening, I was darting around the Internet and trying to see if there had been published reports about Dale Tallon and his interests / intentions with the #2 overall selection for this year's draft... But when I checked Twitter and saw updates on Craig Button's final pre-draft rankings and mock draft, I found myself sidetracked in a thought. It's a thought that's been gestating and manifesting for most of the month of June regarding the draft.
I've already confessed how taken aback I was on June 5th with the SB Nation mock draft when Seth Jones fell into Raw Charge's lap (picking of the Tampa Bay lightning). I found appeal in the mock draft conversation that those who were on-the-ground in Colorado and south Florida could justify their selections in a manner that wasn't echoing what other mock drafts were suggesting their picks would be.
Colorado wanted the top forward in the draft, while Florida wanted offense.
Last week, Joe Sakic tipped his hand and stated that the Avalanche were going offense with the #1 overall pick, and just Monday Patrick Roy further conceded what the Avs are leaning toward doing (taking Nathan Mackinnon first overall). You could read all of this on Raw Charge, we reported on both incidents.
The thing is, even with those intentions coming to light in the past week, there are still freshly written mock drafts that are coming out in public (USA Today for example) that suggest Seth Jones will go #1 overall... And the justification being Seth Jones should go #1 overall.
Therein lay my issue; it seems a memo has been missed through the media, larger blogosphere and through fans. Maybe we caught the bug from the NFL and how they conduct mock drafts and such leading up to football's grand event each spring? Whatever, there's an issue here: Mock drafts aren't rankings. Mock drafts are supposed to be educated guesses at what each team intends to do
I really like the DC Mock Draft Database, I link to it every year and I promote it... But it often shows how uneducated the mockups are. Most people making these drafts up don't look at the larger organization for each team; they look at the NHL club and connect dots.
Colorado has let it be known to the public - to their fanbase, the people buy team paraphernalia and tickets and such - that they're going with a forward as the #1 overall pick. As of early this week, their intention is to select Nathan Mackinnon. Period. End of speculation on who they chose as the pick.
I admit, I've gotten caught up on the speculative rhetoric on Twitter (talking to Raw Charge's friend and colleague Mike Gallimore) that something fishy might be up and Colorado might just be doing this to sell the pick... But in the end, if the Avs go ahead and trade the pick or select Seth Jones in a grand spectacle of slight-of-hand, they're going to piss off the people back home who have been told the intended direction of the club come Sunday afternoon. They'd alienate their fanbase in a comparable fashion to than antics of OK Hockey Group, former owners here in Tampa.
The problem after going on rankings-versus-organization plans with the draft goes by way of Halifax: Jonathan Drouin has repeatedly been linked to the Tampa Bay Lightning as a replacement for Martin St. Louis... And it just so happens he's been the 3rd ranked player in the draft. Never mind the fact the Lightning bring players along slowly, never mind the fact there is depth at wing that's percolating up to the NHL level. Drouin started being linked to the Lightning because it was the most convenient thing to do. Barkov? Nichushkin? Please. The only option at 3 is Jonathan Drouin because all the hype and previous reports about the 3rd overall pick says it's Drouin.
Of course, no one truly knows what the Lightning are going to do at 3rd overall until Steve Yzerman and company trots out and makes their short announcement of the pick. (Sidenote: Dear Steve Yzerman; thank you so, so much for not making a scene with your selections and just announcing the pick. This is not sarcasm, this is genuine appreciation.) They could go forward, they could go defense - it depends on who is remains on the board after the first two picks.
Back to my point: Mock drafts are not supposed to be ambiguous player rankings. If you want to rank prospects - by all means, please do.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
It smells good before you even walk into the room. It's that simple smell of fresh-cut vegetables. Inside, there's about a dozen people loading up their dinner plates with a tempting construction of veggies, grains and legumes. They're all there for one reason — the desire to live a healthy lifestyle.
The meal kicks off every session of Susan and Jesse Landess' Healthy Beginnings monthlong program. It's one of the ways participants learn in a hands-on way just what a healthy diet is, and how good it can taste.
Haystacks were on Monday's menu. Starting with a bed of rice, the Healthy Beginners added beans, lettuce, tomatoes, chopped onions, black olives, guacamole and chipotle dressing.
"Mexican — that's what it tastes like to me," said Teresa Carter of Anderson. "It's awesome."
As the actual class time starts, Susan Landess shows participants how to make the featured menu items. Chipotle dressing is based on a faux sour cream made from tofu, cashews, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder and cumin. That chipotle nuance comes from sweet onion, bell pepper, cilantro and salt.
Another treat designed to satisfy a sweet tooth is "snowballs" created from left-over whole grain cereal like steel cut oats, along with dried fruit, orange juice concentrate, stevia, vanilla and butterscotch flavorings, and chopped almonds or pecans. After a little refrigeration, it's formed into balls and rolled in coconut.
"Legumes, grains, fruits and veggies — that's the four new food groups," said Landess. That means no meat, no eggs, no dairy, no processed food. The good news? "We're not portion controlled."
After the cooking fun, participants get down to the nitty-gritty of learning about nutrition, processed foods, heart health, labels and more. Armed with information, they're better prepared to stay committed to their new healthy choices.
"This is a pretty cool program. It makes you realize just how bad what you are eating that you don't pay attention to is for you," said Lisa Lemons of Greenfield. She noted that she's just one week into the program and she has already lost weight.
That's a pretty typical response, as it turns out. Healthy weight loss, lowered blood pressure, stabilized blood sugars, and plummeting cholesterol numbers seem to be consistent trends in the program.
Brenda and Paul Maxfield of Anderson are program graduates, back for a refresher.
"We came because we like anything that promotes healthy living," said Brenda. "The results are so astounding, we had to stick with it. It's been a fun adventure." Brenda was able to realize a 45 percent drop in cholesterol levels.
"I was pre-diabetic," said Paul. "My blood sugar completely normalized."
Sandy French of Anderson, a returning student, said her first-time results included a loss of 20 pounds, and a 40-some point drop in cholesterol. That's not to say it's an easy path to walk.
"It's such a drastic change for most people," said Tricia Yost of Middletown, in the program for the first time. Nevertheless, the class provides the support people need to move ahead making healthy changes in their diets, and participants start seeing results right away.
Landess is a health educator and registered nurse, the former director of Indiana Healthy Choices. The Healthy Beginnings volunteer-led program is offered a couple of times a year. For more information, call 765-621-7557 or 765-759-9937.

Team # 816 -- Undergraduate Admission Online Acceptance Team
Finance and Business / Undergraduate Education
January 2007
ObjectiveThe Undergraduate Admissions Office, the Office of the Bursar, and Housing and Food Services have collaborated to develop an online service allowing admitted students to accept their offers of admission and request housing. When accepting their offers, students are presented with the option to request housing only when housing is available. After completion of the transaction, the appropriate information is sent to ISIS for updating the student's record. Information is also sent to the eLiving system to initiate the creation of a housing contract.
This service significantly improves the process of accepting offers and requesting housing for future Penn State students. The service also saves staff time allocated to data entry for these activities.

Were The Grammys Fun? Rob Sez "Sorta"
by Rob Lucas
posted Feb 11 2013 8:23AM
With all the new artists up for awards I had high expectations for the Grammys, but I can't say they were met. Most of the performances were really good if not incredible, (there always will be some clunkers…Thank you, Rihanna and the Bob Marley tribute), but I would give the whole night a "B+". What stopped it from being an "A" was a production that seemed a little disjointed with some bad pacing and too many dead spots. I thought that Wiz Khalifa coming right after a country set was simply jarring.
Speaking of the country set, Miranda Lambert put me to sleep. I pretty much agreed with all the award winners with the exception of Mumford & Sons
for Album of the Year (I thought the whole category was weak).
The biggest injustice was Carrie Underwood winning for Best Country Performance. "Blown Away" was the LEAST country of any of the songs all the others in the category were more deserving, and when she went up to accept her award I kinda got the feeling that others on the country side felt the same way.
So glad fun. was a multiple winner and I'm hoping Gotye will come up with a strong follow-up single. I've spent time with the album, and I'm not so sure that they won't be one of the greatest one-hit wonder bands.

Primed for progression.
If you're just learning the ropes, the last thing you need is a ski-boot-stiff backcountry boot. What you want is something with an easy flex that's super comfortable, like the Thirty Two Groomer FT boot. The Fast Track lacing system divides the boot into two zones, so you can crank down on your feet so they stay put, and fine tune the tension up top. You'll appreciate how much easier the Fast Track system is than traditional laces, especially when your fingers are cold and you just want to get on the lift. The Level 1 liner is flexible and heat-moldable, so it feels broken in before you even get them on the hill. The rubber outsole holds up to seasons of shredding, hiking, and post-ride parking lot sessions.

As Afghan War Drags On, Some Democrats Threaten Revolt
Monday, July 05, 2010 at 6:00 am
The war in Afghanistan has produced divisions among Democrats in Congress from the start, but a series of votes on Thursday night revealed a rising tide of Democratic discontentment that could alter the trajectory of the Obama administration's approach to the conflict.
[Security1] A measure to fund the administration's 30,000-troop surge with $33 billion narrowly passed late Thursday, by a 215-210 margin. But the inclusion of domestic spending projects in the overall package appeared to boost its support among some Democrats, while a number of votes on amendments signaled a growing desire for an exit strategy.
"The close vote shows the rising disagreements over war policy," said Darrell M. West, director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution. "The war has never been popular among Democratic activists and now lawmakers are starting to express their own doubts."
An amendment calling for a flexible withdrawal timetable — sponsored by Reps. David Obey (D-Wis.), Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) and Walter Jones (R-N.C.) — failed to pass the House, but it won 162 votes, including those of 153 Democrats, three-fifths of the Democratic caucus.
McGovern hailed it as an "important milestone" in a statement released Friday. "This vote should send a signal to the Administration that Congress is increasingly troubled by risking the lives of our troops and borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars for 'nation-building' in Afghanistan while we are facing a dire economic situation here at home," he said. "I will continue to work to build bi-partisan support for a meaningful exit strategy from this war."
An amendment introduced Thursday by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) proposed to restrict future war funding to troop redeployment and protecting soldiers presently in combat. It received 100 votes, including those of 93 Democrats. A third amendment to slash war funding entirely from the bill won the votes of 25 congressmen, including 22 Democrats, while an additional 22 Democrats chose not to oppose it and voted "present."
"Obviously, a lot of people are understandably anxious. The sustainability of this war is in some doubt," said Michael O'Hanlon, a foreign policy expert at Brookings.
Antiwar sympathies seemed notably stronger than during a previous effort in the House to implement a withdrawal timetable, a motion in March by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) that failed 365-65. Prior attempts have likewise been overwhelmingly defeated.
Speaking out most forcefully for limits to the war were the 23 members of the "Out of Afghanistan Caucus," established by Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) on May 18.
"It's a fool's errand," said Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), one of the members, during a press conference Thursday. "Every dollar we spend in Afghanistan, every life we waste there, is a waste. … What makes us think, what arrogance gives us the right to assume that we can succeed where the Moguls, the British, the Soviets, failed?"
Also on Thursday, Reps. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.), John Conyers (D-Mich.), Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and Mike Honda (D-Calif.) took aim at President Obama for depicting the measure as urgent.
"It is disingenuous to say this is an 'emergency' supplemental," they said in a joint statement. "The only emergency," they said, is that "we are putting America further into debt" by "funding the longest war in history." They added: "Last year, President Obama pledged to stop these off-budget gimmicks to hide the cost of war."
West of Brookings noted that it's historically unusual for presidents to face challenges over war policy from within their own party.
"Generally, members of your own party support your foreign policy," he said. "It's typical that you have to worry more about the opposition party than your own, and the fact that Democrats are expressing reservations should send a warning sign to the Obama administration."
This deepening fissure could turn into a headache for the president and Democratic leaders.
"There's been a schism in the Democratic Party over all wars since Vietnam. What matters is the intensity of it," said Eric Alterman, of the liberal Center for American Progress. "[The antiwar coalition is] going to make it more difficult for [Obama] to continue the war, and they're going to be a faction that has to be negotiated with."
"But they're not going to cut him off at the knees, they're not to going to humiliate him, and they're not going to destroy his presidency over it," Alterman continued. "It's not going to be the kind of thing that tears the party apart, as this issue has done in the past, because people have learned those lessons."
O'Hanlon, a self-described Democrat and proponent of the Afghanistan occupation, cautioned that stripping funding now would cause Democrats to get "pilloried by Republicans" for "being weak on defense." "It would be not only strategically unwise but politically suicidal," he said.
And while skeptical Democrats could play an important role in determining the eventual outcome of the war, they may not wield much influence over the administration's short-term strategy.
"This group has influence in the broader sense because obviously it has put a stake in the ground, and if things continue to go badly in Afghanistan, its influence will grow," O'Hanlon said. "At some point it may be able to push the United States out of this conflict, but for now it's not going to have any direct impact on strategy."
Recent weeks and months have enhanced negative perceptions of the war, due to escalating violence, the ousting of Gen. Stanley McChrystal and charges of corruption by the government of Afghan President Hamid Karzai. Polls suggest Americans are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the war.
The Obama administration hasn't flinched in its commitment to the effort, and has even begun to back away from its promise to begin winding America's involvement in the war next July. "That absolutely has not been decided," said Defense Secretary Robert Gates on June 20 on Fox News, nothing that withdrawal will be "conditions-based." Obama said on June 28 that there's "a lot of obsession" about the withdrawal date, which irritated some Democrats who perceived it as a snub.
It's unclear whether Democrats will accept the president's decision to extend it beyond then, if he chooses to.
"I think a year from now all bets are off if we haven't seen major progress," O'Hanlon said. "It's possible to imagine a revolt within the party in a year."

If a "foreign policy expert" is someone who gets paid by a think tank to write policy recommendations that are uniformly and consistently wrong, then Michael O'Hanlon qualifies. He supported the invasion of Iraq from the beginning, and I cannot recall a military escalation that he has not supported. It is irresponsible to describe O'Hanlon and his ilk among think tank chicken hawks as being "expert" in anything other than getting paid excessive compensation for undermining intelligent policy.

We have all been fond of office 2007 professional plus furniture haven't we? With ms windows 7 designs available in all parts of Windows 7 Ultimate, Internet is one medium to choose the best Cheap Windows 7 at competitive prices and that too at a store near your Office 2010 Professional. Below http://hohosoftware.wordpress.com summarize some Microsoft Office 2010 to help you choose the best Office 2007 Enterprise for your corporate as well as office 2007 product key : Generally, while http://hohosoftware.blogspot.com are searching Office 2007 Key, we just type in our window 7 and start browsing the http://peaksoftwares.blogspot.com which appear in the Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise.

Let http://peaksoftwares.wordpress.com take an example of windows 7 download . Now people go to Google and type "Windows 7 Ultimate " and start browsing the Buy Windows 7 . They spend a lot of time finalizing Download Windows 7 but when they decide to contact the Win 7 for the price quotes and delivery time, they generally end up realizing that the Microsoft Windows 7 from which they had selected the Windows 7 , belongs to a different country and the buy microsoft office 2007 cannot export to a their Windows 7 Professional. The simple solution to Windows 7 Professional would have been, assuming that the Buy Windows 7 buyer resides in India, to search for the keyword "Microsoft Windows 7 India" or "Windows 7 Home Premium in India" instead of the keyword "Download Office 2010" because when the buyer searched for "buy office 2007", sites from different countries showed up, microsoft office professional 2010 plus might have had good designs Office 2007 download were not available in window 7 but they were of no use. The purchase windows 7 advantage of using a location such as Office 2007 Ultimate, in case it suits the buyers, office professional 2007 plus can go and checkout their Office 2007 Key and maybe get a better design microsoft office downloads has recently become popular but is not ms office 2007 professional on the website.

The starting bid, is an undervalued $2.68 million considering it cost the city over $6 million to build it back in the 90's. Unfortunately, the exhibits are not part of the auction.
If you are so inclined to bid on this piece of college football history, you must place your bid with the South Bend Redevelopment Commission before 3:00 p.m. today. The commission did state that if no bids met the reserve price, the city will offer the property at a lower price in the coming days.
Here is what the commission is looking for with each bidder:
- A bidder who can improve the property quickly
- Has financial backing and can close the deal quickly
- The bidder will also keep the project in line with downtown zoning and development planning
- Offers must meet the minimum $2.68 million dollar asking price. It is the average of two independent appraisals
- Retail office and mixed-use projects
- Project details must be outlined; and,
- A re-use plan and project timeline must be presented.

Welcome to ING Life Companies
Life Insurance Products
The ING Life Companies offer various types of life insurance, from the pure protection of term life insurance to the flexibility and growth potential of universal and variable universal life insurance policies.
Term life insurance is the base model of life insurance. It's generally the most affordable type of life insurance and delivers pure death benefit protection – a fixed level of death benefit coverage for a specified number of years ("term").
Whole Life insurance provides death benefit protection for a lifetime (as long as premiums are paid), guaranteed premiums and cash value.
While term life can be described as a base model of life insurance, step up in power with Universal Life insurance. It offers more bells and whistles that can help provide coverage for longer-range goals.
Need to fit two lives into a life insurance policy? Just as the SUV offers more room for family comfort, Survivorship Universal Life Insurance provides longer-term family life insurance protection.
Indexed Universal Life Insurance
Imagine adding a turbo-charged engine to your car's bells and whistles. That will give you a feel for what Indexed Universal Life insurance is like compared to traditional term and universal life insurance.
Variable Universal Life Insurance
Variable Universal Life insurance might be described as the luxury-sized SUV equivalent of life insurance. With Variable Universal Life Insurance you get the death benefit protection, flexibility and cash value opportunity of traditional universal life, but with more control over how your premium dollars are invested and the potential to build cash value.

Question: What was that like once you got to perform that role eight times a week?
Question: How do you even go about learning 11 parts? I'm always amazed by the swings, who cover all those roles.
Question: How did this one-woman show come about?
09 Aug 2013
Photo by Paul Kolnik
Bayardelle: Actually, that was so much easier than having to know 11 different parts! [Laughs.] I'm like, "Wow, I can stick to one show. This is beautiful, this is easy now!"
Bayardelle: You know what? I learn it as one big song. [Laughs.] It's just a long song that never ends. But I tell you, that experience really prepared me for where I am now and, of course, it influenced how I wrote this musical that I'm doing now, Shida, and how I perform it, and how I'm able to go from one character to the next character. I feel like The Color Purple was my classroom. It was better than going to Harvard!
Bayardelle: I wrote it out of frustration. I was in Hair on Broadway, and we were getting ready to close, and I had a meeting with my agent, and I was waiting in the lobby. While I was waiting, I just started to get frustrated and feeling like I didn't like depending on people to dictate my future, waiting for the next part, waiting for someone to write the next part…and I just had this idea [that] I need to write something that fits me, a story that I want to tell, and I felt like there was more that I could contribute to the industry than just singing and acting. And, immediately, I came up with the idea of writing a musical, and I [thought] I should do it on my childhood best friend, who had a really interesting story about being a bright girl growing up in the Bronx and wanting to do amazing things with her life, but she fell on hard times and she ended up on hard drugs. And, I said, "Wow, I need to tell her story because I believe that her story will help other people and inspire other people." We all know somebody that deals with addiction or depression, or somebody who just doesn't want to live anymore. But I thought telling her story would help other people on their path back to purpose.
Bayardelle: Her name is Rashida, and her mother, who is in the show as well—well, I play her mother as well—her mother used to call her Shida.
Question: What was that like once you got to perform that role eight times a week?
Question: How do you even go about learning 11 parts? I'm always amazed by the swings, who cover all those roles.
Question: How did this one-woman show come about?
Question: Has her family come to see the show?
Bayardelle: Yes, they did, they came to one of the earliest showings that we did three years ago at Birdland. They came, and it was difficult. The first time she saw it, she wanted a private hearing because she didn't want people around, and she wanted to live every moment and express herself the way she wanted to express herself without having people watch her. I remember we did it in a rehearsal space, and she had her tissue out, and she just cried the whole show. And, afterward she came up to me, she just pulled me aside, and said, "Thank you – thank you for helping me to not be ashamed of the things that took place in my life."
Question: What is her life like today?
Bayardelle: Her life is wonderful today. She's actually expecting a baby, and she's happy about the success of the show and how people come and love the show. She's just really thrilled, and I'm just really happy to see her on that path, the path of purpose.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The Peoria City Council needs more time to decide whether or not to buy out Illinois American Water Company.
Due to a franchise agreement, the City of Peoria has the option to buy the water system every five years.
Council members originally had to decide by early November on the potential buyout.
Now, At-Large Councilman Eric Turner said the council will look at taking another month to finish evaluating financial information on what a buyout could mean for the city.
The council is likely to vote on an extension October 29.

When Nokia released their first phone they had a game called Snake.
Every Nokia phone had Snake either I,II,III or EX2.
When the first Nokia Smartphone was released they forgot to give it the Snake game.
The last version is Snake III.
I tried to port it to Android.
It worked until i pressed the start button and the loading snake is showing.
But now its Windows Phone we are talking about, and I miss many of the classic apps from Nokia.
Here is the list:
Snake III
Soccer 3D
Golf tour
Snake EX2
Club Pinball
Snake II (classic one)
Everyone of these apps and many more I want to try to port to Windows Phone.
I have sent email to Nokia so they know about it if they just read the mail from me.
Maybe there is other people that want to have one or more of these apps on their new phone.
But I doesn't want to do it alone, so if someone is interested I will start a group called alexstrand7-classic-nokia4windows-phone so we can start a team and if I find the files someone can try to convert it and then I send mail to Nokia with the files so they can preinstall them on new phones.
Someone's interested?
I will use skydrive on windows live to host the original files we need to port.
When someone are finished with an app please send mail to me an I will upload it in a folder I will call finished and I will delete the original from skydrive.
When the folder with original files are empty I will find some more we can do after the original Nokia files is ported.
If someone already ports some of these apps please let me know.
Alexander Strand

The Missouri General Assembly is now in the final week of its regular session. This has traditionally been its busiest week of the year, but most Missourians have no idea what their legislators are doing. Many do not even know who their state senator or representative is.
The fact that people don't know who represents them in the General Assembly does not prevent them complaining about their legislators. This displeasure often manifests itself through calls for referendums and direct democracy.
Are popular referendums a good way for societies to govern themselves? There doesn't seem to be a consensus on this point. Whether people think direct democracy is a good idea usually depends on whether they agree with the outcome of the last election.
For example, many of those who praise the wisdom of the electorate for the way it voted on banning concealed weapons and establishing a state minimum wage are the same people who said the same electorate was ignorant and misguided when it voted to ban gay marriage. Some of these same people fought to keep a proposition limiting affirmative action off the ballot saying the electorate couldn't be trusted to understand the issue and vote the right way.
Despite the fact that lots of voters have no idea who represents them in the General Assembly and don't understand the ballot propositions put before them, our democratic system seems to work fairly well. One can only imagine how much better it would work if voters actually took the time to become well informed and voted responsibly.

Wedding Boots - Bridal Boots - Wedding Cowboy Boots
Nothing beats a comfortable pair of western wear boots when you've got a western theme wedding goin' on. Our bridal boots are made of luxurious leather and suede. If you are having a western or cowboy wedding, these bridal western boots will be the perfect wedding shoes for you!
Cowboy wedding boots fit differently than city-slicker shoes. Most boot-scooters will find that the right-fitting boot makes you want to let out a �yeee-haw� and giddy-up around town. Others of us simply won�t want to wear another pair shoes, ever again.
The instep of the boot holds the foot in place, making it the most important part of the fit. The boot should feel snug in the instep and around the top of your foot, not too loose or too tight. If your boot feels too tight, try a larger or wider size. If your foot moves around a lot in the instep-area of the boot, you may need a narrower width or smaller size. Keep in mind�leather stretches with wear.
Your heel should slip up and down a little as you walk. It may feel unnatural at first, but don�t worry�you�ll be a regular heel-slipping boot-wearer in no time. As the leather relaxes with wear, this slippage will subside. Ultimately, the decision on a proper fit is up to the cowgirl who�s wearin� �em.
Traditional bridal shoes are pretty but some brides are looking for something a little bit more unique for their wedding day. The good news is that we here at Advantage Bridal can help you decide which option is right for you.
Beach weddings or weddings with a tropical feel are perfect for some super comfortable but adorable flip-flops. Flip-flops offer a softer sole with plenty of support to dance the night away, as well as sassy sayings printed on the soles.
Swarovski crystal Havaianas can be hand-decorated by Advantage Bridal's team of expert shoe decorators, using Swarovski crystals that are available in nearly every shade. Brides have the option of having the crystals cascade down the shoe, or to create a design such as a flower or heart. These are completely customizable as you select your choice of flip-flop, crystals and colors.
A more casual beach wedding might call for �Just Married flip flops�. This creative option features �Just Married� etched on the bottom of the sole, so that it will leave the imprint as you walk down a sandy beach together.
The country brides out there will want to check out these amazing cowboy wedding boots, which you may remember seeing in the recent nuptials of Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton. Miranda and her bridesmaids rocked this country style with cowboy boots under their dresses. Don�t think that you have to stick with the traditional black or brown, as options range from white and blue to hot pink, and more.
Sportier brides might want to stick to what they know well by wearing tennis shoes, but with a dressy twist. Styles vary from the traditional and backless, to a simple white tennis shoe with personalized accents that may include ribbon laces, pearls, roses, polka dots or hearts.
Every bride has the ability to keep her style and personality when choosing her wedding shoe. Advantage Bridal is able to cater to the style of every bride.
