Customer Testimonial
We went with the Ceiling Link grid system. I know this is not your product, but I thought I'd just share that next time I would go with one that locks together. If I accidentally pushed too hard on the tile I was putting in, the whole row would shift, and I'd have to go back to the beginning and reset them all. Not a huge problem, but annoying when it did happen. As far as your product.... The tiles were sooo easy to paint. I loved them. I ended up not antiquing the Stratford ones like I had planned to do because the antiqued ones seemed too dark, and looked dirty once they were up. So, I painted the Stratford ceiling tiles a Crème Brulee cream color (one coat). These went in the bulk of the basement... den, office, library, hallway, storage room, and bathroom. The trim in these rooms was also painted that color, and they look great together. Rather than use the edge pieces of the grid, the top trim pieces actually hold the tiles up along the edges. The Orb pattern is in our boys' bedroom. I painted those the same light blue that is on the upper third of their walls (2 coats). They look great! As far as installation. It was even easier than I expected to cut the holes out for vents and lights. The material is very easy to work with. The only issue I had was with the Orb pattern. The problem may have been caused by us making the grid pieces fit a little too tightly in places. If a tile was pushed up in a corner out of the grid, I could get a grip on the Stratford tile to pull it back down into place, but the Orb pattern had nothing to grip, so I had to pop the tile beside it out and push it back down, then hope that the one I popped out fell back into place easily. This was not a huge problem, but it did happen often. Again, this may have been due to the grid system we chose not locking into place, allowing the tiles to get pinched tighter than they needed to be. So, overall, we were very pleased with the Ceilume tiles. They were easy to work with, took paint very well, and were easy to put up. They look really great, and we're looking forward to their easy care for many years.

We own a 1904 two story brick building in downtown Walla Walla. We used your ceiling tiles in two locations. The first use of your ceiling tiles was for tenant improvements for a new retail tenant. The space has 15 foot ceilings and exposed brick walls. It turned out very nice and the tenant was extremely happy with the result.

Garry Rayno's State House Dome: All eyes on House as casino vote nears
The House will decide the fate of Senate Bill 152 Wednesday. The bill, which passed the Senate on a 16-8 vote and has the support of Gov. Maggie Hassan, would allow up to 5,000 video slot machines and 150 table games in a complex costing at least $400 million.
The paper-thin margin has given renewed hope and - casino supporters would say - momentum heading into this week's vote.
Casino supporters say Massachusetts has changed the equation by approving three regional casinos and a video slot parlor. The Massachusetts casinos give New Hampshire incentive to approve gambling, they say, because state revenues would otherwise decline by $50 million to $80 million and New Hampshire would have to bear the social and financial costs of problem gamblers while the Bay State received the financial benefits.
If House members overturn the committee's recommendation to kill the bill, they will have the opportunity to debate at least 10 of 17 proposed amendments.
Casino supporters knew they had an uphill fight in the House after the bill passed the Senate. One of the few people willing to make a prediction, longtime casino opponent Rep. David Hess, R-Hooksett, said the House would uphold the committee's recommendation and kill the bill.
The wild card, though, is the 100 or so Democratic freshmen House members who have not voted on the issue before.
What you don't want to be this weekend is a representative sitting on the fence because your phone will not stop ringing and your email will be filled before you can delete it.
Presidential Primary Anniversary: One hundred years ago, the Legislature passed and the governor signed a bill creating the state's presidential primary, making it the first such event in the nation.
U.S. Sen. Rand Paul will headline the NHGOP's first Liberty Dinner on Monday, and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was recently in the state to raise money for the Republican state senators.
Long Day Ahead: The Senate has a long day Thursday as it acts on every major bill the House approved this session, from the stand-your-ground repeal to medical marijuana.
The stand-your-ground repeal bill has no chance of passing the Senate because at least two Democrats have said they oppose it.
The Ways and Means Committee recommends further study of a bill that would increase the gasoline tax 12 cents, although a move is expected to kill it outright.
A reworked version of the House-passed photo ID law would not repeal the more stringent requirements that go into effect in September and would instead delay those provisions for two years. The Senate version would restrict photo IDs to state- or federally issued identifications, which would include state college and university identification cards.

[translated by Justin Podur]
On Friday afternoon President Sanchez de Losada met with the directors of the media, in his office, to ratify his denunciation of the 'effort to destabilize democracy'. He spoke of an attempt on his life and an attempted coup. To prove this he showed six bullet holes (of the hundreds that were fired on Wednesday) that had struck the windows of his office, the receiving rooms, and the kitchen, all supposedly by snipers. The bullets had struck between 1-2pm, which were hours of violent confrontation.
Sticking to the line of a 'destabilization attempt'—this time moving towards the truly ridiculous—the snipers who attacked the mobilization, killing and wounding many civilians, were supposedly part of the conspiracy against the president.
According to a report from the daily 'La Prensa', the president said "I will only leave the Governmental Palace if I'm deadâ€. Two days before, palace workers told us, he escaped (quite alive) disguised as a doctor in order to avoid being caught by the angry people.
Of course the supposed personal courage of the president is a minor lie. The media, who have succumbed to becoming cheerleaders of the government, are doing everything they can to 'return to normalcy' by resorting to these two deformations of reality: a coup attempt and vandalism.
According to one press release sent out Friday night, the events of Wednesday and Thursday were 'an action of snipers combined with street vandalism, planned and executed, according to preliminary investigations, to conspire to interrupt the constitutional mandate of the president…'
It's worth slowing down and addressing each point, to understand the situation and how power acts when it is mortally wounded, here in Bolivia.
Snipers in sight: bullets that don't make holes
The official version tries to cover the sun with a hand. The precise graphs that explain how six bullets (of the thousands fired) struck the palace are tiny scratches at the surface of an incredibly deep uprising that came about as a result of the "impuestazo†(the attempt at raising taxes). For the government and most of the media, the causes of the conflict can be anything but that, and the theory of the moment is the supposed conspiracy.
It would have been very easy for a group of conspirators who wanted a coup d'etat to kill the president on Wednesday before his flight. In the general chaos, a simple infiltrator could have followed his movements, or a sniper—like those who acted against the civilian population on Thursday—could have served as the assassin.
And if the first appearance of the snipers on Wednesday was a fiasco, their appearance on Thursday buries the official version. Hundreds of people saw a helicopter dropping people off on ceilings. Thousands were testimony to the way defenceless civilians were shot by FAL rifles in their legs or chests, with enviable precision.
The salad of turbulent vandalism
The second aspect of the supposed conspiracy is the 'organized street vandalism'. Here the plot thickens: no longer a matter of professional political conspirators, we are now talking about sectors of the population, conjured up and paid to act in a coordinated and chaotic manner. For the most right-wing dailies, like El Pais, it was 'self-destruction' by the Bolivian people.
This might be the most brutal method of official propaganda: mix the facts, confuse the issue, put what is of primary importance at the same level as the secondary.
Popular action ended, spontaneously, by noon on Thursday. Until noon, hundreds and then thousands gathered near the Plaza Murillo, to repudiate the action of the government and the military. In the afternoon, just before 7, the Vice-President's building, the Ministry of Labour, the offices of the MNR and the MIR and other symbols of power were in flames.
We stayed at one of the targets: the Labour Ministry. Nearly a thousand people were there, many of whom came to escape the bullets of the Plaza Murillo. The bonfire, fed with the furniture of the building, began. It was only when someone tried to take a trophy that the crowd prevented things from getting out. The people burned things out of hatred, as a symbol of freeing themselves from a regime they hate. No one wanted to steal—this was instead a spontaneous, massive, and profoundly political act. It was a popular uprising that had to destroy that which deserved to die in order to create a new way of living.
Minutes later, a few meters from the ministry, someone took their rage out on one of the many kiosks of La Paz. The multitude surrounded it, and took it to a safe place. "We are the people, we can't do that.†The collective conscience, unguided by anyone in particular, was that of an indignant mass of people who had decided to do what was necessary to get rid of a government that did not represent it. What was burned was burned consciously and spontaneously, and the burning was limited to symbols of hated power. The fires were fires of rebellion.
It was only after sunset, when the tensions in the city had calmed, that the looting of the big commercial centers and official buildings began. It was not the same mass that had, hours before, demanded the resignation of the president, faced the army, or made sure that everything that left the offices fed the bonfires. Now it was hundreds of the excluded, part of the 70% of the population living in poverty, part of the 25% that is malnourished or works for less than $100 a week. It was an army of the poor, who took what they could: broken furniture, pieces of files, parts of computers, books. There were also quarrels, the quiet, contained quarrels of those who have nothing. Poor people loaded the refuse onto their backs, young people helped. It was an eruption of the condemned.
And it was only at night, when silence enveloped everything, that small groups of criminals took advantage to steal—attacking small and big businesses, offices, and even people's homes without discriminating. There were terrible scenes—the workers of the Coca-Cola bottling plant defending the factory against looters, neighbours who organized themselves to defend their miserable little businesses. It was the undertow of the rebellion, of a crude, complicated, consuming, unpredictable, traumatic reality.
For the government and the media these last facts became the only story of the day. A story the media repeated tirelessly.
The old story of the palace
Throughout history, it has been an irresistible temptation to explain social facts by means of palace conspiracies. When the narrator in question is the fallen monarch, the resource is used to paint reality as a result of dark plots in scheming rooms.
In Argentina in December 2001, De la Rua himself called for a state of siege on December 19, supposedly against a 'plot against democracy'. He later explained his fall as the product of a conspiracy. The situation that followed, with 4 Presidents in 10 days, the popular uprising that brought about his fall, and his own stupidity didn't allow his theory to even survive as a historical footnote.
In the case of Sanchez de Losada, the theory of the 'plot' and 'vandalism' is intended to cover up his inability to provide a political response to the situation. In no official declaration, except for one insinuation about the reduction of public investment, is there a single word about the political or economic future of the country.
The only plot that really existed was of the government against itself: it managed to unite and mobilize the entire country against it in just two days, taking the social conflict from the country to the city.
The idea now is to mount the entire massive propaganda machinery, conveniently paid for with public funds, to try to bury what was a popular uprising and a social crisis that is left in the air, that has fatally wounded a neoliberal government.
Me, or Chaos
If the government didn't fall in all the mobilizations it wasn't because of the failure of a 'conspiracy against democracy'. The real causes are to be found in the social actors and the development of the situation.
First of all, from the beginning of the strongest social forces—Evo Morales's 'MAS' and the COB (Bolivian Worker's Central) were not seeking a 'Bolivian December 20' (translator's note—this is a reference to Argentina's uprising of December 2001) but for a 'defense of democracy', with an ordered solution by means of the renounciation of the president followed by elections to be called by parliament.
On the other hand, the US, Kofi Annan, the OAS, the IMF, and all of the parties who sustain neoliberalism in Bolivia completely understand that they are in the terminal stage of a crisis and that Sanchez de Losada is the last statist in a class of politicians who have guaranteed multinational looting of Bolivia. If this president flees, all of the dominant sectors are in danger of having to flee as well.
For these reasons, no force was interested or able to rise to power, neither by way of conspiracy nor at the head of a popular uprising, during the crisis of Feb 12-13.
And so it is that for the government and the old foxes of Bolivian politics it was possible to not have to flee. And if they now lack the strength to carry through their IMF recipes, the effect is that a decadent regime that belongs in history continues to rule.
Today it is calm and they are trying to re-legitimize their rule—as Duhalde does in Argentina—presenting themselves as the only alternative to 'chaos', 'vandalism', and the supposed conspiracy.
For the thousands of voices who broke from routine to release their fury, it was a deaf rebellion, a mere step in the slow march to build their own destiny. Adding our own little grain, with our own little weapons against the tinted glasses of official propaganda, is the least we can do.

Crandon, Margery (née Stinson, 1888-1941) A Boston medium who was examined by magician Harry Houdini and put through several rather inconclusive tests by him. At one point, during a séance, she produced a thumbprint in dental wax that she swore was made by her spirit guide, Walter. This was heralded by the press as definitive proof of her validity and of the genuine nature of spiritualism. Unfortunately for this breakthrough in human knowledge, the print turned out to be that of her dentist, who was very much alive. This pretty well discredited her with all but the most ardent believers, and Margery slowly went out of business. She died an alcoholic.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and other prominent supporters of spiritualism never gave up their trust or belief in her.

Undefeated Brit Mike Wilkinson will meet Rony Jason in the hostile environment of the latter's home turf this Saturday on the main card of UFC on FUEL TV 10 from Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil. The 6-piece lineup begins on Fuel TV at 8:00 p.m. ET after the 7-fight preliminary card cycles through on Facebook, which has an approximate start time of 4:30 p.m. ET. The featured card is headlined by Brazilian heavyweights Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Fabricio Werdum in a pivotal rematch of their 2006 Pride FC collision and, in the co-main role, TUF: Brazil 2 finalists Leonardo Santos and William Macario will battle for the coveted TUF title.
Mike "The Warrior" Wilkinson (8-0) was a TUF: Smashes lightweight entry who submitted his first opponent on the show, but was later scratched on account of a training injury. The 25-year-old got a shot on the UFC on FX: Sotiropoulos vs. Pearson card and defeated his friend and TUF: Smashes teammate Brendan Loughnane by decision. The Brit entered the show with a good rep, much of which stemmed from his flawless record and propensity for stoppages (2 TKO's, 4 subs, 4 1st-round finishes). Wilkinson has now descended a weight class and will make his featherweight debut on Saturday night.
Team Nogueira/Pitbull product Rony Mariano Bezerra, better known as Rony Jason (12-3), emerged victorious on the inaugural season of TUF: Brazil with a unanimous decision over Godofredo Pepey on the UFC 147 card. Jason picked off a sensational flyweight talent in Dileno Lopes, who was simply fighting too far above his natural weight, to make it into the house, then tacked on wins over Anistavio Meideiros (armbar) and Hugo Viana (decision) to advance to the finals.
Jason shares Wilkinson's affinity to finish fights -- he's closed out opponents in 11 of his 12 wins (7 subs, 4 TKO's) -- but he does not share the Brit's perfect record. Jason incurred a trio of losses on the Brazilian circuit before appearing on TUF: he took the once-beaten juggernaut and current UFC interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao to a split decision, which is extremely impressive considering the force Barao's proven to be, was TKO'd by electric Bellator featherweight Genair da Silva, aka "Junior PQD," who's quite a violent and underrated terror, and was viciously stomped out by a heavily experienced Brazilian vet in Joao Paulo Rodrigues de Souza (35-14).
Regardless of his past losses, which are still pretty respectable overall, Jason, like most TUF standouts, is still growing and evolving as a fighter. The combination of his top-shelf training partners and the unmatched experience of fighting on MMA's biggest stage typically results in dramatic improvements over a short time, and I expect nothing less from Rony Jason. The Brazilian's base is in BJJ (black belt) and kickboxing, yet he's also adept with Judo and his wrestling is coming along nicely. He has a diverse foundation of martial arts skill, and one that makes for an excellent platform to build upon.
At the risk of being anti-climactic, I'll be siding with Jason for my prediction but the yawning spread on the betting lines leads me to believe that folks might be overlooking Wilkinson. For starters, the kid is unbeaten, and he also wields a well-rounded arsenal of weapons: his boxing is good -- he squeezes off tight and on-balance combinations and picks his spots to launch forward with straight and aggressive lefts and rights -- and he can transition very smoothly into fundamentally sound takedown attempts when uncorking his strikes.
Based on his fight with Loughnane, concerns with Wilkinson include his cardio -- he seemed to sputter out a little after his outburst of takedowns and top control in the 1st round -- and his striking defense, as he was successful when pushing the action and leading attacks, but ate some unnecessary leather when Loughnane started to dictate the engagements.
Wilkinson is also a strong and agile featherweight at 5'8" with the chance to out-muscle Jason with his hefty size. However, Jason boasts a monstrous reach length for a featherweight (73"), and the range and leverage of his 6" edge (66" reach for Wilkinson) could help to even the scales.
Since both fighters are adept in the key categories of striking, wrestling and submission grappling, I feel the ebb and flow will be dictated by whomever is able to find the means to impose any of those skills. Of course, that holds true for any match up but, since there is really no glaring advantage for either combatant, they'll both look to draw from their extensive toolbox to enforce any attribute that will shift the momentum in their favor. This means that the lesser pronounced or secondary qualities, such as footwork, feints, set ups, timing, instincts and Fight I.Q., will be greatly emphasized.
And Rony Jason seems to have the strongest grasp on applying those auxiliary traits in order to maximize his cardinal attributes. I expect a surprisingly competitive opening stanza, wherein Wilkinson could vault to an early lead with well-timed takedowns and methodical top control. In fact, the takedown battle is the aspect with the most potential to set the tone of the fight, as the back-and-forth encounters should be closely contested and takedowns, regardless of efficacy, often hold the most sway in a round. Keep your eyes on Wilkinson here, who has a decent chance to play spoiler.
My Prediction: Rony Jason by decision.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Tommy Hanson pitched seven effective innings, Freddie Freeman drove in two runs and the Atlanta Braves beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-3 on Friday night.
Hanson (5-3) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings.
Freeman had a run-scoring double and Brian McCann hit an RBI single that put the Braves up 4-2 in the fifth.
Chipper Jones left after seven innings because of a bruised left calf. The Braves' third baseman stayed in the game after B.J. Upton's hard one-hop infield single hit his leg in the third. Juan Francisco pinch-hit for Jones in the eighth.
James Shields (6-2) gave up four runs and seven hits over six innings for Tampa Bay. Luke Scott had two RBIs.

O'Shea: Quins still have it all to do
Updated 8:45am Saturday 19th April 2014 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Quins director of rugby Conor O'Shea knows two more wins might not be enough to secure a top four Premiership finish but his men will fight all the way.
A late Mike Brown try and a Ben Botica penalty saw Harlequins come from behind to beat Leicester Tigers 24-20 at the Stoop after a Jamie Gibson effort seemed to have set the visitors on their way to the points midway through the second half.
O'Shea's men are still adrift of fourth placed Bath, who they face on the final day of the season, and and have it all to do.
"I've never heard the Stoop like that. It was absolutely rocking," said O'Shea.
"We played with ambition and I love to see my team play like that. It is what we are about. Even if we had lost I would have been just as proud of them.
"Winning our last two games might not be enough, but we have the bit between our teeth and we'll go and play."
He added: "We have done well to be in this position after a terrible start to the season and all our injuries, but it means nothing unless we get there."

Southampton slip-up against QPR
Saints looked shell-shocked having started the brighter and were fortunate to go in at the break level, with Gaston Ramirez following up a Julio Cesar fumble.
Saints manager Mauricio Pochettino also celebrating his birthday sent his side out with renewed vigour but they were caught napping.
Nearly all the pre-match build-up surrounded Redknapp's first return to Southampton, who were relegated eight years ago under his leadership before he then rejoined bitter rivals Portsmouth.
"You're going down with the Redknapp" was one of the few polite chants directed at the QPR boss.

By ERIK SCHELZIGAssociated Press
NASHVILLE (AP) - Republican U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais testified during divorce proceedings that he and his former wife made a "mutual" decision for her to have two abortions.
The 2001 court transcripts were released Thursday by the state Democratic Party, which had tried to air the documents before the Nov. 6 election.
A DesJarlais spokesman didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
DesJarlais easily won a second term despite revelations that he once urged a patient with whom he was having an affair to get an abortion.
DesJarlais, whose campaign platform opposed abortion, acknowledged the conversation but said he was only trying to get her to admit she wasn't pregnant.
The transcripts show that woman testified under oath that she had been pregnant. She declined to elaborate on the outcome of the pregnancy.

Residents in one northeast Atlanta apartment complex woke up to find a huge tree on their building Friday morning. The tree fell onto the Marquis at Lenox Road apartments on Briarwood Road late Thursday. It damaged several apartments and cars in the parking lot, but fortunately no one was hurt. Martez English told FOX 5 he was watching TV when he heard the crash. "I thought it was God trying to take the building," said English. "I've never heard nothing like that in my life."English said the tree hit the top of the building, and shook it.Crews were working to remove the tree Friday morning.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

SACRAMENTO—Over the years, California legislators have repeatedly meddled with the independence of the University of California. That doesn't make California unique, but in a system dedicated to the highest academic and scholarly standards, the meddling can badly demoralize the enterprise. Often when it's happened, it's caused long-lasting damage.
Now, ignoring that history, a bipartisan group led by state Sens. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco), Gloria Romero (D-Los Angeles) and Roy Ashburn (R-Bakersfield) is at it again. Playing to voters upset at some of UC's slippery and costly executive compensation packages, they propose to eliminate UC's historic autonomy and subject the world's greatest public university to the control of the Legislature, a body hardly famous for its own fiscal responsibility.
But the constitutional amendment being proposed by the three state senators and their Assembly partners -- which wouldn't just interfere with the university's constitutional autonomy but would end it -- could make past examples of interference look benign.
Probably the most notorious of those examples was the intrusion of the McCarthy-era state Senate Committee on Un-American Activities under Democrat Hugh Burns, and its predecessor, the Joint Legislative Committee on Un-American Activities under Republican Jack Tenney. The two committees' self-imposed goal was to drive leftists and other supposed subversives from UC's faculties and off its campuses.
Other states had un-American activities committees between the 1940s and the 1960s, but California's remained in existence longer and had a more detrimental effect than most, particularly in pushing the often compliant, and sometimes eager, Board of Regents to institute the divisive loyalty oath program that drove a score of distinguished faculty members from UC Berkeley and UCLA, and earned the system the condemnation of faculty groups from coast to coast. Each UC campus was also to have a "contact man" with the Burns committee. Among those who were driven out was physicist David Saxon, who refused in 1950 to take a loyalty oath -- and who, in an ironic turn, later became UC's president.
Clark Kerr, who was Berkeley's chancellor during much of that period and UC president from 1958 to 1967, was himself a target. And although he successfully refuted the accusations leveled against him -- that he was a communist, possibly even a foreign agent -- the residue of the charges almost certainly contributed to his summary firing a few days after Ronald Reagan became governor in 1967. Reagan twisted arms on the Board of Regents to get Kerr dismissed, but it was two decades of witch hunting by the Tenney and Burns committees, and Kerr's honorable role in resisting it, that created the climate. The real targets, as Kerr wrote later, were not communists but liberals.
As the Kerr firing indicated, it isn't just legislators who like to meddle in UC's academic affairs. In 1995, in the case of the regents' vote to end affirmative action in UC hiring and admissions, it was Gov. Pete Wilson who, in collaboration with Regent Ward Connerly, applied the heat.
Still, it's generally in the Legislature that the pressure originates. Most recently, it was the powerful Latino caucus, which pushed hard to make it easier for more minority students to be admitted after race-based preferences were eliminated.
The resulting changes, first proposed by UC President Richard Atkinson but hurried along by the political pressure, radically shifted UC eligibility from a system based largely on the hard numbers of grades and test scores to one with more subjective -- some would say squishy -- criteria. Those criteria, including "comprehensive review" of each applicant's entire background, including handicaps he or she has overcome, and automatic eligibility for all students in the top 4% of their high school class, made UC more accessible to many of the black and Latino students who could not be admitted after 1995, when the regents -- and later Proposition 209 -- brought affirmative action to an end.
We'll forever debate whether those changes brought a fairer process and a more diverse and interesting student body. But political pressure nearly always jeopardizes academic independence and public confidence. California's long-standing constitutional protection for UC's autonomy that Yee and company want to eliminate recognizes those dangers.
The loyalty oath travesty made it obvious that UC's constitutional independence can be violated without anything like the formal provisions of the proposal in the Legislature. As long as UC is a public, tax-supported university whose budget is drawn in Sacramento, it will be vulnerable to legislative pressure. But the proposed amendment would authorize and institutionalize such meddling -- and that would be a big step backward.
One thing that makes UC special is that it has been able to balance academic distinction with its democratic mission and public responsibility. If the Legislature ever got formal control, there'd be no telling what mischief -- in hiring, in curriculum, in setting research priorities, in admissions preferences -- the currents of political fashion could bring.
Given the Legislature's dim reputation with the voters, the amendment is likely to fail at the ballot box even if it passes out of the Legislature. But it's a sure sign of the temptations that forever lurk under the Capitol dome, and of the ongoing danger to what may be California's greatest public asset.

Rachel Maddow Trumpets Inane 'Amish Bus Driver' Analogy for Obama Contraception Rule
Rachel Maddow is so awash in self-esteem, it's all she can do to contain her modesty.
There she was on her MSNBC show, enthusing about her appearance on "Today" that morning to defend President Obama's mandate that employers' health insurance cover birth control and contraceptives virtually across the board. (video after page break) --
MATT LAUER: Is there traction to this? Is this an issue that's going to last well into the election or the campaign or is this going to be something that's going to fizzle out?
MADDOW: I think this is going to, listen, I think this is going to fizzle out. Listen, if there's a bus driver opening and you're Amish, nobody's going to say you can't apply for that because you're Amish. But if you get the job and you say, actually, I can't drive this bus, I'm Amish, people are going to say, sorry, if it's a bus driving gig you gotta be able to drive. And if it's health insurance it includes contraception. It's part of health care in the 21st century.
Hmm, why would Maddow cite the Amish in her hypothetical as opposed to, oh say, Muslims, Native Americans, gays or any number of other people of faith, ethnicity and sexual orientation who might take offense?
Presumably this has something to do with the unlikelihood of many Amish being aware of Maddow saying this, what with their aversion to television, (motorized) school buses and all manner of modernity.
The problem with Maddow's analogy is that it falls apart at its outset. It's like invoking the lesbian who marries a man and then decides she doesn't want children, the orthodox Jew with second thoughts about that shellfish restaurant he just bought, the MSNBC anchor watching CPAC videos on the sly.
It doesn't make sense that any of these hypothetical people would do these hypothetical things because if they did, the woman wouldn't be a lesbian, the Jew not really orthodox, the MSNBC anchor not Stalinist enough. In Maddow's hypothetical, the bus driver isn't Amish, he's actually agnostic and just discovering it.
Maddow beamed with pride on her show Tuesday night, noting how she produced her polished gem "before 8 a.m. on a day after a day spent in bed with the flu."
"Do not try this at home," Maddow warned with mock solemnity. "The Amish bus driver analogy invoked here by a trained professional on a closed course."
More accurately, the analogy invoked here comes from a person secure in the knowledge that few in her workplace at MSNBC, as was the case at Air America Radio, and in academia before that, would dare challenge such an inanity from a left-wing lesbian for fear of the allegation of homophobia that would surely follow.

Maddow speaks, and removes all doubt.
Her analogy is laughable on its face.
if it's a bus driving gig you gotta be able to drive. And if it's health insurance it includes contraception.
This is not about insurers not wanting to provide coverage, it's about certain employers not wanting to be forced to pay for it.
Maybe you'd better go back to bed, Rachel.
There's an easy way to do it. The insurance companies provide a rider in the policy that says they can have birth control coverage, if they pay for it themselves, with no contribution by the employer.
But then again, the point is not to get coverage for those women, the point is to get someone to give it to them for free.

Submitted by Liberallies on Fri, 02/10/2012 - 2:07pm.
There is no compromising here. The Roman Catholic Church is clear on this.
No Catholic run institution can provide contraceptives, abortions or tell you where you can get these.
Additionally, neither can they point you in the direction of where to get these or how to pay these or do business with any organization that do any of the above.
The simplest thing to do is to give the freedom that belongs to us and let the Church buy whatever insurance it wishes from which ever business and include any coverage for Her employees that she so desires. This should go with any and ALL business.
But you said it well, it is all about the entitlement mentality and that now people want everything for free.
I see it in my job all the time. I give those who work for me a day off during the week for working hard. Then all of a sudden what I gave out of generosity becomes a demand from them and soon it turns into something that I have to give or else law suits will start flying. Pretty ridiculous mentality we have in America today when it comes to the job.

demands lead to changes
Submitted by jon_torlin on Fri, 02/10/2012 - 2:26pm.
Do what I do, when demands start cropping up like that, make changes like cutting back on their schedules, cut their hours.
I had one do that with me a few times and given that it's a part time position, I was a bit surprised that this one worker started wanting it rather than working with me to make up for lost time. So I dropped the bomb on them after cutting their hours back and said "well, I gave you some more time off, you didn't seem to need those hours, I don't know why you are complaining." Had a little protest and etc, and I could have ended it all by just outright firing the brat, but I was trying to teach the brat a lesson. Didn't take, though, but don't think I didn't try to work to resolve and better the situation.
I ended up saying "you know what, just get the hell out of here, I don't want you working here anymore, and don't come back. I'll mail you your last check." Usually I do these firings in private, but given that this person was making an ass of himself in front of the other workers, I decided to make an example of him in front of the other workers so as to send the message "Next?" And believe me, I felt righteous for doing that, screw with me in public and you're gonna get your ass burned.....third degree style.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hard ass, but I expect fairness in return. On the other hand, the others know what a generous guy I am and they appreciate it. You're not kidding about the mentality we have these days.

Submitted by Liberallies on Fri, 02/10/2012 - 4:14pm.
I pretty much do the same thing. I am a very nice manager. I understand, however, that as a manager, I have a target painted on my back. Thus, I attempt to treat the people I manage as fairly as possible. But I have enough management experience to know that one rotten apple spoils a whole bunch.
I use to take individuals out for lunch when I first hire them. I invited one or two people from my team to come along. In one ocassion I only to newly hired individual. It was ridiculous how a few in my office reacted. They demanded to know why I had not taken them out to lunch. Why did I give someone a free lunch and not them? What i thought it was a nice thing, turned into a huge issue and I had to stop doing it. Then, I get new hires demanding that I take them out for lunch because I took someone else. RIDICULOUS!!! Something I did freely because I thought it was a nice thing to do, out of my own pocket never charged the university for it, turned into something that now was expected and demanded by those in my office.
I have countless stories like that. The above is one that gave me the biggest headache, but I can tell you stories how 23 year olds with a masters degree believe that they must be in management because they were born and have a masters degree. then I have to go into the whole talk about, EXPIRIENCE!!! But these newly graduated hires have such a freaking entitlement mentality. They are clueless to the fact that you earn things, privilages, you don't demand them!
And a benefit given to you by the job, boss, etc is just that a benefit that can be given or taken away, not something you have a right to.
Shoot, and I am not that old, 36 years old and the stark difference between my generation and the upcoming one is bigger than the space in the Grand Canyon.

Submitted by Galvanic on Fri, 02/10/2012 - 1:53pm.
It's disturbing that she has an audience (including my 87 year-old father-in-law) who think she is exceedingly intelligent (But then again, he does realize that she is a Lesbian, so his perceptions are questionable.)
Let's turn it around for dear Rachel --
Rachel owns and runs a modest resort hotel catering to the LBGT market. Cable TV service is available in each of the guest rooms.
The Federal government mandates that all hotels offer cable TV service and it MUST include a particular evangelical channel in its mix of choices.
Rachel doesn't want to pay for that extra channel because its programming includes messages against same-sex marriage, etc. -- programming that she and her guest find offensive.
"But," the Federal government say, "No one has to watch it. You just have to make it available in case someone does, because all the other hotels do."
Does Rachel comply with the mandate and shell out the money?

There are two issues here and I list them in order of importance.
1) Religious freedom. No religious institution can be forced to provide a service that goes against its religious beleifs, dogmas, etc, etc.
2) Why the frak is the government of the United States forcing ANY business, big or small, to provide ANY type of benefit to its employees?!!!!
the benefits that a business provides to its employees were created so the job would attract people to the position. Now, it has become an entitlement. ridiculous.

Hay. Maddow, what, in your wildest imagination would lead you to believe that someone, like an Amish person, whose own believes would prevent them from operating a bus, would apply for such a position in the first place?
It's analogous to assuming that someone would refuse their newly gained position as an airline pilot because they're afraid of heights! It's an asinine assumption.
Here's a better "Amish" analogy, Maddow: The federal government forces the Amish to offer automotive bus services to anyone who resides within their community, whether the Amish community agrees to this or not.

Of course, all that fashion isn't really needed to seduce men, for we can be seduced by nothing more than a old, worn, tight fitting t-shit (testosterone is a wonderfull thing, isn't it?). It's intended mainly to impress the other women. And that's all it's about, isn't it? Prestige?

Forgotten Marche, they are mostly buildings that were once very important for the people who lived around there, places of work where so many generations have given their services, highest places of the spirit and faith. And now that they are no longer functional to our interests remain there, isolated in the woods, as in suburban areas...
They are ancient abbeys, such as St. Mary of the Apennines in Fabriano, or S. Maria de 'Rotis above Matelica, silent hermitages as Grottafucile or Soffiano, but also mills, furnaces, factories such as tanneries in Esanatoglia, isolated churches as S.Piero in Tambis near Fossombrone or entire villages forgotten how to Fontecornale of Mombaroccio where the ruined church of San Michele shows the ancient frescoes as stigmata of true faith.

Why Grottazzolina worth a visit?
...We finally arrived to beautiful and sunny San Benedetto Del Tronto. Our uncle picked us up and took us to his home, which was a walking distance to the beach. Oh yes B-). The next few days were filled with mornings at the beach, cousins running around, pizza, gelato, exploring the town of Ascoli Piceno, gelato, beach, and did I already say pizza? ;).
Mariano Pallottini's insight:
Summer 2014 in Le Marche
Our stay at Casa Lola was the perfect blend of tranqullity and relaxation, with enough to keep everyone amused, to more than justify our decision to go abroad.
Located on the brow of a rolling hill with glorious views of the mountains and countryside in the region of Le Marche in central eastern Italy, Casa Lola is a 200-year-old farmhouse which sleeps up to 10 people.
There are many beautiful ancient hill-top towns and villages close by with wonderful cafes and restaurants to enjoy and to savour that delicious cup of coffee and cake - such as Monte San Martino, Amandola, Sarnarno, Gualdo and Monte Falcone.
If sightseeing is not your thing, you'll be hard pushed to find a better-equipped villa than Casa Lola.
One of its best aspects is the private swimming pool, which we could not keep our daughter out of for the whole holiday.
There is a large kitchen and dining room, as well as an outside barbecue and huge garden.
Set in remote countryside, it is not surprising that many of the locals do not speak much English but that just adds to being in the 'real' Italy.[...]
The film on Marche-born poet Giacomo Leopardi is the best hope for Italy at the Venice Film Festival
From www
Three Italian hopefuls including a keenly awaited biopic of the most loved poet after Dante, Giacomo Leopardi, are vying for the Golden Lion with 52 other contenders for the top prize at the world's oldest film fest opening in Venice Wednesday night.
The ornate wood panels located on the lower walls of the study and designed by Benedetto da Maiano's Florence workshop include images of the armor Duke Federico wore in battle. An adjacent panel shows him dressed in a casual tunic, the clothing he wore when entering his private study.
On the uppermost walls of the Studiolo are portraits of philosophers, mathematicians, poets and Popes who were inspirational people in the life of Lord Montefeltro and in European culture: people like Dante, Plato, Aristotle, Seneca, Saint Ambrose, and Saint Gregory the Great.
Of the 28 original portraits in the Studiolo, only 14 of them remain [...]

Italian Bridal Inspiration in Gradara, Italy
"We wanted to show how to create a romantic countryside wedding in an unknown part of Italy. So we decided to go to [Gradara] a little "Borgo" in the hills of Le Marche. We wanted the day to be filled with soft, romantic colors inspired by nature.
As a preamble, there have been some general goals behind our decision making process. High on the list has been a desire to keep things as simple, free of stress and as cost effective as possible. Another guiding principle for us was to keep at a minimum the necessity of interacting with the Italian bureaucracy. If that isn't already something you think about from past experience, once here, it probably will be.
Town or Country? – Location, Location, Location -Where do you want to call home?

One of our family 'Summer rites' is taking our daughter Costanza to Beato Sante on 'Children Blessing Day' on the first Sunday of August. While in the Marche – and especially during your stay in the province of Pesaro and Urbino (land of Rossini and Raphael) – you may want to visit the convent of Beato Sante ('Blessed Sante'), close to Mombaroccio and not far from Sant'Angelo in Lizzola, in the hinterland of Pesaro: a real 'patch of Heaven'.
The convent, built on top of Scotaneto hill – deriving its name from 'scotani' (Rhus cotinus, aka Eurasian smoketree, smoke tree or smoke bush) – dates back to the year 1223. It was one of the first Franciscan seats in the Marche region, erected while Saint Francis was still alive. Later on it underwent major changes and the convent we see today dates mostly back to the 17th century, apart from a few still preserved original parts. [...]

I'm really not feeling these grammy nominations this year. They didnt nomminate those that deserved to be nominated, they just nominated those that were the most popular. I mean, Britney Spears was still nominated for "Overprotected?" Come on, there are alot more songs that were better than that to come out to be nominated. that song barely even charted. Talentless manufactured stars like Ashanti are being nominated more and more, and apparently the grammys think that the boy bands are still in, STILL nominating N Sync out of all the singles out there. So in result, this grammy CD with the exception of Sting looks like a Now complilation, one targeted at those for 12 year olds. Grammy decided to ignore the TRUE greatest albums of the year, like the Flaming Lips and Wilco. Now that the grammys are turning more into a crowd pleaser than to reward true musicianship, we really need another kind of awards sxhow. Please be more attentive to your nominations next year, please!

This is one of my favorite CD's ever! This CD has gotten me into more typs of music and many new artist like Avril Lavine person and Eminem. Some songs I never listen to like Girlfriend (thats a Michael Jackson title FYI NSYNC!)and Overprotected.Overall, this CD rules!
There was a time when the Grammy Awards were incredibly bias with their nominees for the major awards (good, but still bias). The 2003 awards (meaning music from 2002) was the year when all the diversity bariers were broken down. The tracklisting still has a slight tilt towards pop, the reason for that is because Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Performance By A Duo or Group With Vocal are covered. But Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year and Best New Artist are included as well:
(1) Vanessa Carlton "A Thousand Miles" A-. A beautiful, sweet almost philosophical pop song. The material may seem standard but Vanessa's voice and lyrics make it a catchy piece of work.
Endlessly listenable with fantastic images.
(2) Norah Jones "Don't Know Why" C+. What is this song doing in 2002? Everything about it seems outdated and unfinished, like the producers just stopped trying. What little substance is here is lost because listeners are put to sleep.
(3) Nickelback "How You Remind Me" A. This is about as close as you can get to a perfect rock song. It has all the things you expect from a rock song, yet Chad Kroger's voice and the piercing lyrics add more weight and dimension to it.
(4) Dixie Chicks "Landslide" B. Again, country isn't bmy cup of tea, but this song works for me. The girls' make this Fleetwood Mac song their own and add some blueglass flavor with unique acoustic arangements.
(5) Eminem "Without Me" A. Easily Shady's most satirical, funniest and biting work yet. His "razor tounged lyrics" find the right targets, address a number of "issues" and make good point all to a hilarious entertaining results.
(6) Nelly "Hot In Herre" A. The level that this song works to is exceptional, considering its simplistic content. But Nelly's trademarked "southern flavor" turns ikt into a must hear summer dance/rap song. Completely enjoyable in every way.
(7) Ashanti "Foolish" B+. A smooth, relaxing and toughing R&B song which is darn infectious. Thankfully it contains a rather original idea, but has a flaw becuase it seems to hold the listener at a distance.
(8) Michelle Branch "All You Wanted" A. A deep and touching pop/rock song that finds the right impact from the lyrics and guitar chords. Another song that starts with simple material, yet rise far above it.
(9)Avril Lavigne "Complicated" A. Hands down THE best song writing from THE best new artist of 2002! Everything about this song works from the chilling guitar opening to deep, powerful and enotional lyrics. Every second of this masterpiece should put a tear in your eye.
(10) John Mayer "Your Body Is A Wonderland" A-. It's hard to believe that he was only 16 when he made this song. Content as old as Shakespeare gets a nice modern revamp in a sweet, light and easing ballad. It'll ease the troubled mind with no problem.
(11) Sheryl Crow "Soak Up The Sun" A-. This song just has an a complete summer feel to it. Everything about this light, catchy, fun pop/rock tune demonstrates the full extent of Sheryl Crows comprehensive talents.
(12) P!NK "Get The Party Started" B+. This was hailed by many as THE best sing of 2001. It's not that good, but it is still an endlessly enjoyable, clubbed up dance track with a combination of a slick production and killer voice and lyrics.
(13) Britney Spears "Overprotected" B-. It has more substance than your standard Britney song, yet it still feels like a whiny rant under the surface. Darkchild's production and the infectious beat make it listenavle though.
(14) Craig David "7 Days" B+. The song isn't in the same league as "Fill Me In", but is still very catchy and is a nice little relaxing listen. Craig David finds a relaxed tone to make the song flow efforlessly.
(15) Sting "Fragile" C+. Sting is a very talented male artist who just doesn't put in the full effort here. Everything starts out perfectly, then grows redundant and repedative as the song carries on. It's a work that just diudn't quite come together.
(16) James Taylor "October Road" A-. A nice piece for his later career to still to convey the talent he still has. Shows that sometimes a simple premise and tone is all that is needed to make a good song.
(17) Bowling For Soup "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" A-. A strange and original pop/punk transition. The song seems bizarre at first, but once it takes off it reaches maximum velocity. I love every second of it.
(18) Dave Matthews Band "Where Are You Going" C. Textbook standard light rock in every way. This is what happens when a group doesn't try and just goes through the standard flows of music.
(19) *N Sync "Girlfriend" B-. This isn't bad, it just lacks that flavor that the Neptunes Remix feat. Nelly had. That version benefitted alot from Nelly's style and attitude, maybe they couldn't nominate it because it was remix. Still a Neptunes production, this version remains listenable.
Bottom Line: ***1/2. The album may have a few slow spots scattered about, but the diversity and abundance of quality tracks make up for it. The nominees were a pretty good selection of music in 2002, too bad the winners weren't as well.
I found this cd to be a solid mix of the years grammy nominees. Whether or not I agreed with who won the awards is a story for another day. The cover art is nice, and the track arrangement flows nicely. If your'e in the mood to listen to "whatever" this is a good disc for those times.
Some time ago, I gave up on buying entire albums for single tracks I like. Instead I buy almost exclusively now compilation albums and greatest hit packages. I've found that between US (Now, Totally Hits), Canadian (Big Shiny Tunes, Women & Songs), and UK (Now 45-53, Smash Hits) compilations I've been able to get just about any song I wanted. Legally and at a reasonable cost per track. (Of course, these collections are also generally available on Amazon.)I have nearly all the tracks on this CD, excluding Sting & James Taylor — and please, can the Grammies have a moritorium on nominating remakes of 20-year old tracks by the same artist? — but they are spread over a dozen CDs that probably cost me about 200 bucks in total.Aaarggh.But on to the tracks selected: It's as if the Grammies actually selected the nominees so that they could cherrypick tracks for this album. Absolutely the best Grammy album yet. If they'd replaced Britney Spears with a Springsteen track it would be perfect.As usual, all the Best New Artist nominees are represented, and it should be a real horse race between jazz prodigy Norah Jones (who could sing the phone book and still sound good) and hypersuccess Avril Lavigne, who put out a great album but has the personality & charm of rotweiller. Michelle Branch is great but perhaps under the Grammy radar. Ashanti is not Grammy winning material and John Mayer is there so this won't be thought of as the Best New Female Artist.I was shocked that Vanessa Carleton didn't join the other Best new Artist nominees, but "A Thousand Miles" fully deserves it's Best Song nomination. As do the fabulous Dixie Chicks for their album nomination. I would have selected "Landslide", the Fleetwood Mac cover, as another song of the year nominee, but since it's included I can't complain.I can fully concur with Eminem's nomination for song and album of the year. "Without Me" is a clever, witty and highly intelligent examination of the maelstrom Mr Mathers has begun around himself. But Nelly doesn't seem significantly better than any of the other rappers out there – his nominations are strictly a nod to his commercial success.There are all kinds of other great tracks, including the #1 song of the year on Billboard, "How You Remind Me", Pink's breakout hit "Get The Party Started", Sheryl Crow summer anthem for the ages "Soak Up the Sun" and Dave Mattehws' "Where Are You Going", but I'd like to congratulate the academy on finding and nominating Bowling for Soup."Girl All the Bad Boys Want" is one of the best tracks from last year, and I fell for it on a single listen. Finally American radio is starting to play it, but it was already a top ten hit in England last year. This is the song you'll go back to over and over.So snap this one up people, cause the 2004 Grammy Nominees'll have t.A.T.u. and 50 Cent.

This past week, law enforcement officers trained at the Gwinnett County Police Department to strengthen their crime investigation skills through a shooting reconstruction course.
The course was part of the kickoff for the Forensic Training Source, a new non-profit organization based in Cumming that is dedicated to law enforcement training nationwide. The week-long class covered a number of scenarios including gunshot residue, identifying bullet marks, motor vehicles as a target surface and report writing.
FTS owner Nathan Lefebvre said author Patricia Cornwell has been a tremendous help to the first group of trainees; known for her Kay Scarpetta crime novels, Cornwell donated scholarships to all 27 participants in the class.
Although the officers come from different law enforcement groups in Tennessee, Florida and Kentucky, there are also students from local departments, too, including Lawrenceville Police, Gwinnett County Police, Winder Police, Forsyth County Police, Milton County, Roswell Police and Johns Creek Police.
Watch the video above to see what the officers' training was like.

Poole man punched and bitten in assault
Police in Christchurch investigating a serious assault outside a nightclub have released a picture of a man that they would like to speak with.
The incident, in which a member of door staff at Club Epic in Bargates was attacked by a man, happened at around 3.45am on Sunday 25 November 2012.
Door staff asked a group of men to leave the club following a request from the manager. While being shown to the exit a disturbance broke out and spilled onto the street.
A man from Poole was punched and bitten, suffering a serious injury to his ear which later required an operation at Salisbury Hospital.

Glazed Ham Recipe
Holiday ham gets a sweet and tangy taste from this honey of a glaze. I make sure to have extra on hand because my family likes to use it as a dipping sauce.
- 1 boneless fully cooked ham (about 5 pounds)
- 3/4 cup honey mustard
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- Pinch allspice
- Place ham on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Spoon about 1/3 cup over ham. Bake 15 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140° and ham is heated through. Heat remaining glaze to serve with sliced ham. Yield: about 16 servings (1 cup sauce).
Editor's Note: As a substitute for honey mustard, combine 1/3 cup each honey and Dijon mustard.
