Rep. Joe Walsh, What About You?
by omnipotentpoobah, Tue May 31, 2011 at 09:22:27 PM EDT
Frosh Republican Rep. Joe Walsh – thankfully not related to the musician who's 100 times more intelligent, even accounting for his heavy recreational pharmaceutical use - thinks President Care Bear was elected because, "he pushed that magical button: a black man who was articulate, liberal, the whole white guilt, all of that."
I'll concede Obama's articulate, but if Bush the Lesser had been more articulate maybe we might have understood what he was mumbling before it was too late to stop the moron. Trivially, but as for being black, his census block is marked "mixed".
But, the guilt?
Is the Race Glass Half Guilty?
I can't speak for everyone, but I'm white. I voted for him. In fact, I've voted exclusively for white men in every election I've cast a vote, despite women and blacks running in all of them. I didn't guiltily (or half-guiltily) vote for him because he's (half) black, nor articulate, nor particularly liberal. And, my current dislike of him isn't for any of those reasons either.I'm not happy because I don't think his policies are very good – but I knew that going in. I also knew that compared to the other jackwads running, he was golden.
I reluctantly voted for him because John McCain showed the critical thinking skills of a ham sandwich in picking his running mate, has a skin thinner than a condom, and panders to anyone whose zipper his arthritic fingers can pull down.
In other words, if Obama won on who he is, McTheusela lost on who he is.
Neither do I think that every person who voted against him is racist, an idiot, or a Nazi (sanity I can't vouch for). And, I don't know that he got any more of a free ride from the media than McTheusela either. Media attention waxes and wanes on what pulls in the numbers and that unfortunately changes based on no formula in any textbook I know of (even the ones that tout Creationism).
Never Count on Great Legs to Save the Day
Early on, in fact, the talking heads had Johnny elected before anyone even knew who Obama was. Later, I think you could also make a pretty good argument that the media fawned over Gov. Mosselini based on her inarticulateness and great legs. No one made her speak stupidly. The legs are genetic.
Joe, even if all your charges are true … even if there was white guilt … even if there were black racists and whites as pure as, well, the driven (white) snow … even if there were people who inexplicably liked a person who could talk, there is one immutable fact: you, a white, inarticulate, non-racist, thin-skinned, whining Republican Tea Bagger managed to get elected.
How do you explain that?

The Miami-Dade Elections Department had a plan earlier this year to evenly distribute voters across polling places on Election Day, to avoid packing thousands of people into precincts where the population had boomed.
But the plan was put on hold because county leaders didnt want to confuse voters by changing their polling places before a presidential election.
So on Nov. 6, voters went to their familiar precincts only to find, in some cases, lines that dragged on for hours.
Several factors contributed to the waits, including a 10-page ballot. But holding off on reprecincting was probably not the best idea in areas that saw throngs of voters, Mayor Carlos Gimenez conceded after Election Day.
The flip side, he noted, could have also caused problems: Voters could have showed up at their usual precincts only to be sent to new ones elsewhere.
Youre damned if you do, damned if you dont, Gimenez said. That wasnt done, because certain commissioners thought that that could be a way of suppressing the vote.
The decision, however well-intentioned, resulted in precincts with wildly different numbers of registered voters. The one with the most South Kendall Community Church in Country Walk has 8,303. Of that number, 2,053 about 38 percent of all votes cast in that precinct showed up on Election Day, when waits were more than five hours.
Some small precincts have as few as a couple of hundred registered voters. Only 193 are registered at a precinct at Jefferson Reaves Sr. Park in Brownsville, for example; 78 of them voted on Election Day.
A total of 159 precincts about 19 percent have more than 2,500 registered voters, the maximum the elections department had set in its stalled reprecincting plan.
The plan proposed shrinking the total number of precincts to 640 from 829 and the number of physical polling places to 474 from 541. Those reductions would have saved the county $40,000 in rental fees and staffing, though there would have been additional costs to notify voters of the changes.
Driving the plan was the once-a-decade process of redrawing legislative and congressional districts.
After redistricting, it became evident that some districts contained more precincts than necessary and others not enough, Elections Supervisor Penelope Townsley wrote in a draft memo outlining the plan for new precincts.
The countys reprecincting plan would have made sure all voters in a given precinct fell under the same districts and thus voted using the same ballot.
When the plan was put off, the result was that voters at the same polling place required different ballots, depending on their new districts. And different ballots required different optical scanners, programmed for each ballot configuration.
The elections department divided large precincts into subprecincts to check in voters and provide ballots to them based on their new districts. The South Kendall Community Church polling place, for example, had two subprecincts and more voting booths than any other site in the county, though voters there still saw some of the longest lines.
New precincts might have eased some of the bottlenecks, Townsley said. But redistricting was delayed by state and federal lawsuits, and she feared voters would learn about their new precincts too close to the Aug. 14 primary election.
I am very glad we didnt do it, Commissioner Rebeca Sosa said last week. Can you imagine, on top of everything that happened? The confusion would have been another big, black eye.
The county has not redrawn all of its precincts since 2002, though it has divided some large precincts into smaller ones.
County records show the elections department prepared a detailed PowerPoint presentation and an advertising proposal to deliver to commissioners at a committee meeting on April 11.
But two days before the meeting, the administration requested withdrawing the item. On April 12, Townsley recommended delaying reprecincting until 2013 "in an over abundance of caution." The mayor agreed.
"While there are some operational challenges that the Department is faced with," Townsley wrote, "I assure you sound policies and procedures will be in place to address them, providing Election Day voters the same convenience and ease of voting they are used to and another successful election we can be proud of."
Miami Herald staff writers Douglas Hanks, Scott Hiaasen and Jay Weaver contributed to this report.

RALEIGH — Judging by the rhetoric of both sides in the high-stakes school board election Tuesday, Wake County students could be attending two different public school systems.
Those who side with the ruling majority on the nine-member board depict North Carolina's largest school district as a nationally known, high-achieving system with a virtually unique means of keeping schools diverse in population while maintaining overall academic performance. Those who oppose current practices, such as busing students to achieve economic diversity, say Wake hides its failures -- low-achieving students, mostly from minority groups -- by shuffling them in and out of schools in higher-income areas.
In off-year school board elections, turnout is typically low, but this year there is extra emotion, activism and partisanship. Media ads, news conferences, statements and numbers keep flying in last-minute appeals to voters.
Supporters of the current board raise the specter of de facto resegregation of schools under new direction. Meanwhile, board opponents say that mandated diversity isn't helping low-income students and that busing shatters parental support and sense of community.
Both contingents wave statistics to make their cases, although a report from the SAS Institute may give credence to the arguments that the diversity policy isn't helping low-income students.
The candidates backed by the Wake Schools Community Alliance, a parents group opposed to the diversity policy, have emphasized that Wake's graduation rate for low-income students is 54.6 percent -- below the state average of 61.8 percent.
"Wake County calls itself one of the premier school districts in the nation," said Terry Stoops, education policy analyst for the John Locke Foundation, a Raleigh think tank that has been critical of Wake's policies. "It doesn't gibe when it has only 55 percent of economically disadvantaged students graduating."
Supporters of the diversity policy tout Wake's high overall scores on the SAT and state exams, high overall graduation rate and the area's frequent appearance on lists of best places to live and work. Those factors may help explain why business leaders have traditionally supported the diversity policy.
"The public schools take great credit for the prosperity of this region," said Harvey Schmitt, president of the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.
Depending on whose vision prevails in four district contests, the school system could face a radical remake -- from the current diversity-based system to one built on neighborhood schools. That's an exciting prospect for suburban parents weary of frequent student reassignments and mandatory year-round schools. These parents also criticize the system as arrogant and challenge as unproven the educational theory that low-income students fare better alongside children from varied backgrounds. "I don't think it helps the students they bus in and it surely makes it impossible for the parents to have anything to do with the school," said Al Floyd, who lives between Leesville Road and Glenwood Avenue and has three children in Wake County schools.
Advocates of the current system include Calla Wright, who heads the group Coalition of Concerned Citizens for African American Children. At a community meeting Thursday night, she urged the group of about 60 people to make their views known at the polling place Tuesday. She warned that a newly segregated system could emerge from a change in the board.
"We believe that all students benefit from economically and racially diverse schools," Wright told an audience at the Hargett Street YWCA. "I ask each of you to touch someone, to go out to the polls and take this message on Tuesday."
A partisan battle
The issues cut deep in both directions. The candidates and supporters pushing for fundamental policy changes and neighborhood schools -- backed by the Republican Party -- feel passionately that they've lost control of their children's educational destiny and are paying for it in a variety of ways.
Some parents cite their frustrating encounters with school officials over reassignment and students' long bus rides as examples.
"I heard so many horror stories about reassignment and forced year-round, it was very frustrating," said Gail Marold, a spokeswoman for Take Wake Schools Back, a political action committee devoted to changing board members and policies, and a volunteer in media relations for the Wake Republican Party.
The political forces and candidates -- mostly Democrats -- who'd like to see the current approach preserved and improved -- look with something like horror at the reversal of hard-fought decades in which diversity was one of the Wake system's guiding stars.
"If you didn't know the history it would be a very natural thing to maybe not feel those lessons in your heart," said Wade Smith, one of the state's pre-eminent defense attorneys and a former legislator who worked to merge a declining Raleigh city system with the Wake County schools in the mid-1970s.
Smith will appear at a news conference Monday to urge a continued focus on diversity, along with Knightdale Mayor Russell Killen, Capitol Broadcasting President Jim Goodmon, school board member Keith Sutton and Marion Robinson, pastor at St. Matthew A.M.E. Church.
"Those two school systems had two separate budgets and were operating in every way independently," Smith said of the forerunners of the merged system. "The Raleigh schools were growing more and more African American, and the county schools were far, far more white."
Wake County voted down a proposed merger in a referendum, but Smith and others got it passed by legislative action; and the city and county schools became one system in 1976. After years of balancing schools for racial diversity, Wake County adopted its family-income based approach in 2000. Proponents of the current system say they understand parents' desire for neighborhood schools, but not at the cost of having large majorities of children from minority groups at some schools.
"We cannot go back to a time when our schools were segregated," Smith said.
New tests, new data
For years, supporters of neighborhood schools have relied on the emotional appeal of children going to schools near where they live. But only recently have these critics found statistics that question how well Wake's low-income students are faring under the diversity policy.
Changes in state tests in recent years have lowered passing rates in schools statewide. With the revised tests, Wake's previously small racial achievement gap has widened; now low-income students and some minority groups are performing below the state average on some exams.
A recent SAS Institute report found that the way Wake analyzes school performance "tend[s] to camouflage schooling inadequacies for disadvantaged populations." It found that the achievement gap between Wake's low-income and non low-income students was greater than observed in other North Carolina districts.
The report was a response to a Wake school district report that questioned the program developed by SAS that is being used in school districts statewide to analyze school performance.
The candidates who oppose the diversity policy say neighborhood schools can improve academic performance by reducing time spent on bus and making it easier for parents to be involved at their child's school.
If the schools wind up with high percentages of minority students, so be it, some candidates and supporters say. But they say high-poverty schools should receive extra resources and parents in those schools' neighborhood should get extra options, including magnet and charter schools.
"If the parents choose to stay [in neighborhood schools], you can't fault the parents for deciding that," said Claude E. Pope Jr., Wake County Republican chairman.
Supporters of the diversity policy acknowledge that Wake needs to do more to help low-income and minority students. But they say that neighborhood schools would force property taxes higher, to pay for additional schools, and would not lead to better academic performance.
"Theirs is a false choice," said Jennifer Lanane, president of the Wake County chapter of the N.C. Association of Educators, which has 5,000 Wake school employees as members. "Their side won't help the dropout rate."
Nationally, Wake's election is being viewed as a test of the support for school-diversity policies. With 140,000 students, Wake is the largest district in the nation that buses for socioeconomic diversity.
"If Wake County's plan went down, it would give an excuse to timid school board officials across the country not to do the right thing," said Richard Kahlenberg, a senior fellow with the Century Foundation, a think tank that supports socioeconomic diversity policies.

There were just a few original students of Joseph Pilates who went on to found their own studios and teach the Pilates Method. Several of them are very well known names in Pilates today, and most Pilates teachers can trace their "lineage" back to one of these original students.
Often called "the elders", the people usually included in a list of the original instructors are:
- Clara Pilates (1883 - 1977): As the wife of Joseph Pilates she worked closely with Joe for many years. She continued to teach and run the studio after his death.
- Romana Kryzanowska (1923 - 2013): A close student of Joseph Pilates, Kryzanowska took over as director of Joseph Pilates studio a few years after he passed away. Romana is one of the most well known and highly regarded keepers of the classical Pilates tradition.

The San Francisco Giants acquired Carlos Beltran from the New York Mets to try to bolster their sagging offense. On Sunday, Beltran hurt his right wrist on the last swing he took in San Francisco's game against the Phillies and the Giants had an MRI done on the wrist Monday, according to MLB.com:
X-rays taken Sunday came back negative, and Monday's MRI revealed inflammation and slight strains in two areas of Beltran's right hand and wrist. Beltran doesn't have any structural damage, but he is day to day and didn't know whether he would be able to play Tuesday night against the Pirates.
"As soon as I feel like I can swing the bat, I will be out there," Beltran said. "There's injuries that allow you to go out there and be under control, but the wrist -- swinging the bat, that's a huge part of the game, and throwing the ball is a huge part of the game."
Beltran, who is hitting .244 with no home runs in 11 games with the Giants, did not play in Monday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates; both he and manager Bruce Bochy said the MRI was being done as a "precaution" and that Beltran hopes to be back in the lineup soon.

CATEGORIES Movies, CinematicalOpulence and Middle Eastern oppression are no match for New York's leading fashion fiends.
'Sex and the City 2' may have taken a potentially successful movie franchise and strangled the life right out of it, but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha. Last June we learned that Candace Bushnell's bestselling prequel, 'The Carrie Diaries,' was heading to the big screen; casting rumors are now bubbling forth.
With director Michael Patrick King still grabbing at the reigns of the Bradshaw dynasty, MSN Grazia reports that he's interested in adapting the tome and wants Blake Lively to play the young, high-school-aged Carrie, though her rep was quick to deny the reports.
An insider tells the site, "There are no plans to bring Sarah Jessica Parker and the others girls back together in the old format. The prequel is about breathing new life into the story and exploring Carrie's first few months in NYC and the beginning of her relationship with an older man."
It's a fairly sensible move. One of the main problems with the two films was that the women had moved on from the single dating life into marriage and motherhood and overt opulence. They were no longer women entrenched in the city. They no longer saved for their Manolos, they just bought bigger, more opulent places to store them in.
'The Carrie Diaries' allows the franchise to get back to the basics of sex in the city. It's just too bad it has to be a question of age. The television series was dedicated to challenging ageist expectations and redefining how older women can live their lives. But ultimately, they had to get married off, have kids and pass the reigns to their younger selves.
With Blake Lively possibly leading the pack, there's little chance this won't be a successful flick. It just depends on where Lively wants to go from here. Will she still want to live the fancy Big Apple life, or has 'The Town' given her a taste of a new career path?

Women's Professional Baseball
Submitted by abrown on Tue, 01/10/2012 - 10:47am
The 1992 movie, A League of Their Own, was based upon the All American Girls Baseball League formed in 1943 by chewing-gum magnate Philip Wrigley. In 1949, Fred Leo (later, a sportscaster in Denver) was president of the League. He lasted until 1952. The League lasted until 1954, a total of eleven years. The Springfield Sallies pictured here were one of the teams that played.
Fred Leo kept original programs, manuals and correspondence related to the League. Those papers along with a few original photographs may be viewed in the Fred Leo Papers (WH798), available on the 5th floor of the Denver Public Library.

I want to like it because its pretty, but also every single Jade I've met has been a bit...mature for her age. As in multiple-sexual-partners-by-age-thirteen mature. That's obviously not the fault of the name, but its an association i have, which i once mentioned to a friend who lives on the opposite side of the US, and he said he had the same association with it.
Because of that i automatically dislike it.I hope to be a mom one day. For now I enjoy being a name lover.
My apologies for any typos; i post from my mobile phone.

Are you sure you don't have a control system on your network?
by Ron Gula on July 22, 2013
This blog entry describes many of the recent advances Tenable has made with active and passive detection of SCADA and ICS devices on networks. There has been a dramatic increase in devices and applications that control power, industrial processes, and even our homes. With almost 600 public SCADA vulnerabilities, 214 of them disclosed in 2012, Tenable has kept pace with these advances by developing new forms of detection for Nessus and the Passive Vulnerability Scanner.

I splinched. :(
Dittany please.
This makes me feel like reading Harry Potter again. I haven't read any of the HP books in months. I think it may be a year. Bad, Bad MM. :(
I have almost managed the laundry, last load washed, half of it in the dryer, half waiting to go in.
I have also packed with the exception of a few items that are in the dryer. I'm taking three "outfits", plus something comfortable for lounging in the room or for running out to the car if I don't want to get completely dressed just to run out to the car.
I have some needlework if we end up sitting somewhere for hours. I also have a couple of new books to take with me. I may stop and pick up a magazine or two for my mother to look at in the car on our way. That will give us something to distract us and talk about instead of worrying about where we are going and what is happening there.
I will take my computer, assuming I will have internet access in the room at night.
This may seem ridiculous to say but I'm not looking forward to this. When I was a child and there was a death in this family there would be a huge gathering of the clan. All the brothers and sisters would come with their children and grandchildren. There would be lots of young cousins. Except for the actual visitation and funeral the rest of it was like a big family reunion. We would all gather and hang out at one of the family homes. There would be lots of food and sitting around, talking and telling stories. The children would get out and wander around the property out in the country.
This is just going to be sad and miserable. In the last 35 years or so all my cousins and second cousins have aged, died or become in fragile health. I'm the baby. I'm going to be there to manage my parents.
Lady Hawke I am sad for the big changes wrought by time, I hope that things may less bleak than you envisage.
Your mention of needlework reminded me that we recently had a surprise TV hit, a competition to find the best Sewing Bee member. I had no idea such groups existed! Last night was the finale and the only time I saw the whole length of the programme. The format was similar to the previous ones they were given three items to make, needing to choose fabric and work with a live model to show off the completed dress. The final three challenges were to make a man's short-sleeved shirt, very tailored, embroider identical grey material bags to demonstrate hand sewing, and make an evening dress to a pattern of their choice. The three finalist were all women, all from the Midlands area and in three different age groups as it happened and there was a last day surprise. All three models were members of their own family, two daughters and one older sister. The winner was a lady of 81 years who had a life-time of sewing behind her, all of it amateur. She had consistently turned out work of a very high standard all through the competition which lasted over six programmes I think. The male judge works in Saville Row in London (very high-end tailoring area), but I know nothing of the female judge's background. It was totally absorbing because throughout the series the competitors spoke directly to camera during the making of each garment/item so the audience felt very involved in the drama and tension, the same format that is used in cookery competitions.
Time for breakfast.
Oops! I discover that the tailoring street is spelled with one 'l' i.e. Savile Row. The pronunciation rhymes with 'mill'.
Here is a link to the programme if anyone is interested. It is from the BBCiPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0165nj8.
Aloha! ;)
Work lurk. ;)
It's not that work is so busy, it's just so boring with interludes of dealing with real jackasses that I don't feel much like being social. ;)
No grocery shopping for me today. It is raining and it looks like it has set in for all day. Harley has been out twice. This morning they both just went out on the porch,looked out, turned around, and came back inside. Later they both had to go out in the rain regardless. Harley has been outside again but Bridgette says no.
I have to clean up my yard and porch. I can't believe that I have let it get so dumpy. I use to be proud of my outside yard. I still have a lot of things next door in the yard. It use to be my flower garden. I have cement deers, wolves, and a lot of other animals. The things that I moved here to be in my yard, my daughter has in her yard now. Of course a lot of things were stolen but the heavy concrete things are mostly still there. The DS took apart the fountain and moved it to the lake. It is one of the things we left when I had to move so quickly.
My cousin's son has had a heart attack. He was going to have a procedure to see if his arties were large enough to do a by pass. He already has had a kidney replaced several years ago. This bothers me because we were just talking about our older generations and now the younger generation has started having problems. Thinking of Lady Hawke's relatives has made me think of this. Now I need to read something to lift my spirits.
Good evening.
I've just had a lovely chat with my Mum….. Today is her 65th birthday.
Lady Hawke. I do hope all is going as well as it can, given the circumstances. I send my love.
MM, where is your Grandbaby?! I feel for your son and DIL!
CoolG, I hope there will be good news soon about your cousin's son.
Won, how is Sally, and how are you?
Hugs for everyone.
My grandbaby is 4 days past his due date. :(
I waited years to be a grandma, I guess I can wait a few days. It feels like an eternity. :(
My DIL goes to the obstetrician tomorrow for her weekly check up. Lets see what they say. :)
Suspected someone near me was using skimming gear so I had my debit card stopped. No problems
but no card for a few days.
MM: Tell the kid to quit slacking and join the rest of us already.
COOLG, I'm sorry to hear about your cousin's son. I hope they find they can help him and give him optimum benefit.
Yesterday was very tiring. There were lots of people at the visitation, lots of people we didn't know and lots of family we had not seen in so long we hardly knew them. They formed lines and passed by all of us. I finally sort of broke away and found a cousin or two I with whom I could have real conversations. My cousin is suffering through this. He is obviously distraut and he has his own health issues and recent broken ribs. He is quite emotional and weepy.
We did have a late dinner with one of my male cousins, his niece and his mother. The niece is one of the female cousins I am intending to go and visit with my daughter. She has a child almost my daughter's age and a couple of girls not quite ten years older. So, they are an opportunity for my daughter to have some family.
Today we are due at their church where lunch is being served at 11 AM. We have had coffee and muffins in the room from the selection at the buffet downstairs. So, that will be sufficient with such an early lunch. We will have to be back at the funeral home by 1 PM for the 2 PM funeral.
The day is sunny and currently 39F (3.88C). By the time we reach the cemetery is should be 70F (21C).
ASTI, happy birthday to your mother. I almost gave her my greetings on the parish Facebook page but no one else was doing so.
MM, I wish the baby would come I could use some good news.
My DS did get word he passed the certification test for which he has been studying since Christmas.
just lurking. Have not been in my workshop today, I have had a couple of pluming emergencies that took some time to fix. My next project is a sun sign of Cancer for a friend at work.
My DS is getting more and more stressed, and I don't know what to do to help. The financial settlement from his old company is STILL not finalised, and it is getting silly. We are almost at the point of having to take them to tribunal.
We need that settlement to meet our financial obligations. I am working all the overtime I can, but it doesn't cover the shortfall. And what really, really really really annoys me is that my husband is very reluctant to take my overtime money. He thinks it is my money, my savings. Does he honestly think I am doing all this overtime for fun? I am doing it to HELP.
Rant over, for now. I am not happy.
Lady Hawke, congrats to your DS! I am glad that you and your daughter are forging some family connections during this sad time.
MM, I keep checking both here and Fb for baby news! We all can't wait. xx
My grandbaby is 5 days overdue.. :(
Asti – bop your DS on the back of he head and tell him to take the many. If it makes him feel better he can put it back once he gets his settlement.
LadyHawke – it must be heartbreaking but at least you get to see and meet family.
Congratulations to our DS.
Apparently the Doctor appointment is not till tomorrow for my daughter-in-law. Sigh.
Many = money
It is getting daylight earlier. Today I let the dogs out at 6AM and it was getting light outside.
I have gradually been doing my spring cleaning. When I say gradually that is what I mean. I finally got the top shelves cleaned and my can food moved on to them in the cabinet where I had mouse droppings. This has taken me some time to do but I have found no traces in the cabinet since I cleaned it. I did find traces in the sink cabinet. I have not seen any more but I think I need to get a different kind of mouse trap. My daughter told me to get myself a cat. They did because they were having mice problems. I would but I don't think the dogs would accept a new cat.
MM As you should know, babies come on their own schedule.
I need to go get my glasses repaired. I talked to my daughter and she told me how to get there. I know I went several times to get ready for my glasses but that was a couple of months ago. That is enough time for me to forget. I think I will go to Columbus to get them repaired because I do know how to get there. I have been waiting to go because of the gas it will take. I want to wait until I can get my gas tank filled again. I can remember when $50 would fill my large gas tank up. Now it will only give me half a tank and not really that much since I never let my truck get lower than a quarter of a tank.
Did I tell you Jennifer never closed on her house? She did move but she has been renting until she closes. It seems she had to wait until she received her income tax refund to pay off her storage building. All the paper work has finally been done so she is suppose to close on the 5th of May. After that she will be coming for her stove and freezer. She is suppose to change stoves with me. The one that is here has the glass top and the one at her new house does not. That means I will have to learn to cook on a different top again. Maybe it will be easier since it is the old style of stove. If for some reason she doesn't, I will just put my gas stove there. I will have to have someone run a new line from outside to the stove. I did tell you that someone stole the copper lines that ran from the outside gas tank to where it went underground. That is why I had the gas tank removed before they figured out how to steal the gas in it. I could use the portable cook stuff I used when the stove didn't work. That may be the best solution anyway.
Harry Potter was just on the news. Something about the studio in England. I was listeneing to the report on Prince Harry when they started talking about Harry Potter.
Did I ever tell you I had a Prince William doll of when he was about 6 months old? It actually was in my Mother-in-law's collection. She bought it when Prince William was a baby. I bought it from her when she sold her doll collection. I have had it about 15 years.
Cool G. You said that the nose pad on your glasses came off, is it the pad itself or the metal arm holding the pad? If it is the pad only you can get that replaced at any optical shop. I know Walmar sells them for about $2.00 for a pr, they only come in prs, and they can put them on for you. Call the closest optical shop and ask them how much they charge, that will save you both time and gas money.
Mr. Deanie Thanks. It is the nose pad that came off.
Every time I mention to my beautician and daughter that I should get some high lites in my hair they say no because I already have them naturally. While I was drying my hair I finally noticed that what I thought was gray is actually dishwater blonde. This means that my hair has turned the color it was as it was turning from blonde to brown. There are still some brown in my hair too. I guess it is turning from brown to dishwater blonde again before it turns to gray. Now I have light gray all around my face. It use to be naturally blonde but has turned light gray. I also have these streaks all thru my hair. It actually looks like it has been hight lited this color. So today I saw what they were talking about. Lol
I've just posted at cc. I am not on commission, lol.
Good evening!
Two whole, lovely days off to look forward to, yay!
Well, after my little moan yesterday, the settlement money has been PAID! We are solvent for the forseeable future. FINALLY, we can put the last four months behind us, and move on and away.
Got an email today about the story competition that my daughter entered. She hasn't made the final shortlist of 50. I am not surprised, but I am so proud of her to get as far as she did. She is planning to enter next year, so I'll keep you informed!
CoolG, I know I moan about my grey hair, but I am grateful for one thing…… I too have natural "highlights." The differing shades of grey amidst the remaining brown are streaked quite nicely, it looks quite unusual.
I saw the report about the studio tour on Facebook. Apparently, William, Kate and Harry all visited.
I am sure there was something else I meant to tell you, but for now at least, it has gone……….
walk,walk,walk. Shop,shop,shop. Spend,spend,spend. Broke,broke broke.
Asti: Glad to hear things have turned around a bit.
Hello everyone!
Asti, I am fine (more or less) lool… Sally has improved a lot… both physically & emotionally. We talk every 2 or 3 days. I think it is just flat brill that the settlement has been finalised. Now you all can get on with your lives without fear of the wolf at the door.
MM, I hope the happy day arrives real soon!
I've just spent ages on a post only to lose it!!
My daughter-in-law went to her weekly appt. yesterday. Her doctor told her to check in to the hospital that evening and that he would induce her labor today. Her amniotic fluid was low. :(
She is worried but excited. They are in the hospital now.
I ask for all your prayers that my grandbaby is born safe and sound.
MM, I will keep your DIL and family in my prayers and thoughts and wait anxiously for the news of the arrival of your new grandchild.
Thinking of you all, MM. Keep us updated when you can, love and hugs, xx
MM I've sent good energy to the event and I await the news. Try to relax and keep your bloodpressure down:)
Asti I was greatly relieved by your good news and glad that your DS's stress will be much reduced. I love your charming daughter's spirit, making plans to enter the writing competition again next year.
Won_Two Delighted to learn that you are such good medicine for Sally, it makes me feel all warm inside.
Lady Hawke Are you back home yet?
Ironsos I do love your sense of humour:)
MM: I hope things turn out ok.
Thanks Graymayne. I do prefer snark over substance.
Someone needs to uninstall and re-invite me at new cc. Unable to get to site.
Ironsos Um! That is beyond my skill. You need Deanie, but I think she only logs on from her works computer.
COOLG and ASTI, I have always had highlights in my hair, a mixture of brown, dishwater blonde and gold. Up until a couple of months ago I would find a single strand of silver white hair from time to time, maybe once every couple of months or so in the crown of my head. Then, about two or three months ago I realized I had about ten strands of silver white hair coming out of the crown of my head. If I pull back my hair in a pony tail or French braid it does not show. The silver white is just coming out of the crown of my head. Maybe it is all the stress from the move.
ASTI, it is still well done of your daughter and I do hope she has a good idea working for next year. Congratulations on FINALLY having your payment problem resolved. I can easily imagine how much relief must be flowing through your veins.
WON, good to hear promising news on your front.
GRAYMAYNE, we arrived home in time to go to dinner with my DS and daughter last night. We were very, very tired. Yesterday morning we paid a visit to my cousin who was too ill to attend any of the visitations or funeral service. After we left her we went to my widower cousin's home and spent about three hours with him. It was very depressing and difficult to leave him. He told us he believed we would never see each other again in this life as we left him. We all thought that was the case but he said it. My father was very depressed this week.
We are waiting for Comcast for the second Saturday in two weeks. They were supposed to be here between 8 and 10 AM. No one showed up. No one called. When my DS called to find out why they had not arrived they told him they had repaired the problem from a substation and had cancelled our apointment without calling us to find out if the repair solved our issue. I can tell you it did not.
My DS demanded our case be escalated and we were told we would receive a phone call to set up an appointment for later today, rather than forcing us to make another appointment in two weeks. We waited for and hour with no incoming call so he called Comcast again. He was told we had an appointment between 1 and 5 this afternoon. Of course, no one called us and so if we want to have functional use of our services this week we will have to sacrifice the whole of our Saturday, the first we have had in three months not dominated by this move or the lurking knowledge of an upcoming funeral. My DS has demanded escalation to a manager who can give us assurance of an appointment which does not encompass a four hour window after spending four hours this morning waiting for a missed appointment on their part.
We want to go to a gem and mineral show this afternoon.
It is more than likely we will find some other way to get television into this house.

The Baby Boomer Bust
Boomers better keep on working
Having arrived after the Greatest Generation and the Silent Generation, the baby boomer generation had two tough acts to follow. These days, it's really tough.
The Associated Press is running a story this week introducing readers to a handful of baby boomers now in their sixties who are realizing that retirement has been indefinitely postponed. The new "work till you drop" ethic is a tough nut to swallow for people who have been on the work force for over four decades and lived well enough in the past to support their own parents' retirement.
There's a unique story for each of the nation's 78 million boomers, and a mess of common factors tarnishing their golden years. Technology and automation have left fewer opportunities, and scores of remaining jobs have been shipped overseas. Employed boomers are forever at risk of being undercut by younger, less experienced candidates willing to accept less pay (often, ironically, because they live with their baby boomer parents), and in the soured economy pensions have been lost and benefits cut. Nest eggs have been scrambled by a stock market in crisis. There's no parachute for most baby boomers, let alone a golden one.
Here's hoping things ease up for Generation X, hot on the heels of baby boomers, and for the young Gen Y and Echo Boomers to follow. They said ten years ago that Gen Xers would be the first generation in America not to enjoy a higher standard of living than their parents. If current trends continue at pace, the children of baby boomers could be working till they're 85.
Sometimes called the "pig in the python" generation, adult boomers changed the shape of each decade they passed through. They reveled in the cultural revolution of the 1960s, the indulgences of the '70s and '80s, and the boon times of the '90s. It's an unforeseen and unwelcome downshift late in life, but the best economic times for baby boomers appear to be in their rear view.

I tend to be very shy and socially clumsy and spend a great amount of time living in my head. It is my sanctuary. With that being stated, I also like to be loud sometimes and enjoy being temporary psychotic as I climb trees, or dance on tables, for instance. Apart from this, I enjoy a variety of other things like reading, drawing, writing, listening to music, film, playing guitar and all that other introverted jazz. I have an unconditional love for psychology. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. In the future, I'd like to travel. I have the best partner in crime, he's a something special.
I am crazy. But I am free.
What's your story?

Try reading the Wyoming oil land article and you may think differently when you learn the drillers don't need your invitation and you have no rights on the minerals below your land!
"I can plant a Victory garden, why not build a victory windmill?" Pahcheemoo nyet/Porquoi non/Why not? Others are making their own, you could, too! They don't call it that but YOU could and start a fad!
hey captsquid good to see you back on the Nashville board.
You wrote, "Let other countries "mandate"; free market should rule." Since graduating as an economist in 1971, I tended to agree with Friedman and the Chicago school until recently. I'm not sure airline deregulation worked to the advantage of the passengers, the employees or the stockholders, are you? My tenure in banking made me skeptical of the wisdom of the unfettered marketplace about ten years ago. Then what happened? I'm willing to reconsider my opinion when I get new information; how about you?
Great comment. "What a delima. Do nothing and argue amongst themselves or move forward and recover the nation's economy." It also sounds eerily familiar, like something our North American governments should do more of..

GREENSBURG – Another week brings more animals currently housed at the Greensburg/Decatur County Animal Shelter in need of loving permanent homes.
This week, the Daily News presents Zelda and Cuddles. Zelda is a Border Collie-Terrier mix. The shelter estimates her to be right around a year old. Zelda is very sweet, but she is timid if one comes toward her in a standing position. She feels less threatened when people come down to her level. Zelda came in to the shelter as a stray, so the shelter is unsure of her background, but they believe she may have come from an abusive owner. She can be adopted for a fee of $100, which includes her spay, treatment for parasites and vaccinations.
Cuddles is a wonderful young cat. She was shy when she arrived at the shelter, but after a few days in the cat room, she really came out of her shell. Cuddles is a very sweet cat and gets along well with other felines. She can be adopted for a fee of $75, which includes her spay, treatment for parasites and vaccinations.
Every pet adopted from the shelter is vaccinated, has been treated for parasites and is spayed or neutered, all of which is included in the adoption fee. Would-be pet owners must be aware that there is a leash ordinance in the city and in the county, pets must not roam from the owner's property.
The Animal Shelter is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The shelter is always closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays. The Greensburg/Decatur County Animal Shelter is located at 1635 West Park Road and can be reached at 812-663-9081.
To adopt a pet from the shelter, one must be at least 18 years old and sign a contract. Before taking a pet home to a rental home or apartment, written consent from the landlord must be presented. Prospective owners must also have containment options other than chaining available for the pet. Found pets have a three day hold during which they cannot be adopted. If no owners contact the shelter in that time period, a found pet may be sent to a new home.
If interested in providing a permanent loving home for Zelda or Cuddles, please contact the Greensburg/Decatur County Animal Shelter for further details. Also, a complete list of adoptable cats and dogs is available at the shelter's website: http://www.cityofgreensburg.com/animal.html.
Levi and Pete, the pets featured in last week's Shelter Spotlight, are still at the shelter and available for adoption.

8Guess the Celebrity: Reality Show Edition
Hey! This sure is a different look for this girl, who we always see … well, with a different kind of look than this. Here's three hints to send you on your way:
—She's got a really trashy sister who likes to put her money where her mouth is (no, really).
—No, really; tattoos.
Jump in to find out who it is!
YEAH it's Demi Lovato! I couldn't believe it! I mean, of course, it resembles Demi Lovato, and if you took more than a minute or two to examine girlfriend's face, you probably called it outright, but wow how this demure style of makeup changes her entire appearance. And the hair! She looks so different!
You guys likey?

i thought it was bristol palin
I was guessing Ke¢ha
She's looking like a mini – dita von teese.
I was wondering who the blonde was. It's pretty obvious the other girl is Demi.
Demi should stick with this retro look. Very pretty.
Bad blush. Bad.
Yeah, I was looking at the blonde.. Any details on her? Could just be crazy but the face has an Avril Lavigne quality to it.
Just in case anyone was wondering, the girl is one of the contestant on X Factor, CeCe Frey.

UWI unveils Caribbean Disaster Risk Atlas
BY DENISE DENNIS Environment Watch staff reporter firstname.lastname@example.com
THE University of the West Indies' (UWI's) Institute for Sustainable Development on Monday unveiled the Caribbean Disaster Risk Atlas, intended to enhance the region's ability to cope with natural events, such as earthquakes and floods.
The atlas, officially launched at the Mona Visitors' Lodge in Kingston, is to enable analysis to guard against losses in Jamaica, as elsewhere in the region, and is to be used in the development of comprehensive risk management strategies.
The US$510,000 initiative is funded through the World Bank and is being managed by the Seismic Research Unit at UWI's St Augustine campus in Trinidad and the Mona GeoInformatics Institute.
The atlas, which currently contains spatial data on risk from floods and earthquakes in Jamaica, Barbados and Grenada -- the islands where it was piloted -- is to be made available to technical experts as well as general users.
A workshop and symposium on the atlas is to be held today and tomorrow at the Sunset Jamaica Grande in Ocho Rios.
The initiative, according to chairman of the Climate Change Advisory Committee (CCAC) Conrad Douglas, is a step in the right direction.
"While scientific data has documented the linkages between sustainable development, ecosystem degradation and climate change-related disasters, they are, unfortunately, still not yet well-acknowledged by policymakers. As a consequence, these linkages are not fully reflected in disaster management and risk reduction plans," he said.
The current deficit in the enforcement of science-based policies, Douglas argued, must be corrected.
"We are all aware that disaster risk is driven by factors, such as poverty, urbanisation, poor land-use planning and ecosystem degradation, which are all developmental challenges. Environmentally polluting economic activities, for instance, [the] destruction of sea grass, coral reefs [and] forests cause irreversible ecosystems damage, destroy livelihoods, and thus increase the vulnerability of communities to all types of disasters," he said.
"It is only through the guidance of accurate scientific knowledge that we will be able to plan properly, reduce our exposure to risks, ensure sufficient adaptation, and provide a healthy Jamaica for our people," the CCAC chair added.

My list roughly in order:
Broner vs Garcia- Definitely, Top 5 on this list! Maybe the fight I wanna see most and it's definitely possible. I think this will be a barn burner. I think Broner might take him to school. Too accurate and his punches are too straight.
Mayweather vs Pacquiao- Yea I said it. I wanna see this fight still because now it won't be riddled with as much Pactardation in the build up lol. I just want to see these guys finally settle the score.
Cotto vs Canelo- I think this has FOTY written all over it.
Chavez Jr vs Andre Ward- I know...It'll never happen...but I can dream. I want to see JCC Jr finally fight in the weight class he's SUPPOSED to be in and stop pussyfooting around. I'm tired of the conditioning saga everytime he fights. I'm tired of him looking like he's the big doofy kid that got held back 3 times everytime he fights. Andre Ward vs Julio Ceasar Chavez Jr at 168. Period. End of Story!
Golovkin vs Chavez Jr- If you insist on not moving up, fight GGG.
Broner vs Rios- I kinda get a Mayweather vs Gatti vibe. That wasn't a competitive fight at all but it's still one of my favorites. I wanna see just how good a BOXER Broner is. To me, Rios is taylor made for a boxing lesson. Can Broner play professor?
Marquez vs Mayweather 2- Do I think the result will be different? No. But quite frankly, I'm tired of seeing brawls every fight. I became a huge Mayweather fan because of his technical brilliance and application of the sweet science. I can watch Rios or Chavez Jr if I wanna see slug fest. I'd really like to see this meeting of the minds.
Martirosyan vs Thurman- How will Keith deal with a who isn't comin with no bullshit?
Russell Jr vs Gamboa- Gamboa has officially convinced me, he doesn't really want problems with "The Problem". I think Russell Jr is more realistic at this point.
Bradley vs Rios- I'm no Bradley fan but I wanna see how Rios is going to deal with a guy who has just as much heart but is probably twice as smart.
Ortiz vs Rios- I know, Ortiz has tore his sunday draws with most of us. That being said, I ALWAYS wanted to see this happen. I want to see the bad blood. I just wish Garcia was still training him. that brotherly fued would have made it even better.
Kirkland vs Bundrage- A nice brawl every once in a while is cool. I'll be sure to be nice and liquored up for this one...spewing drunken profanities and cheering like a sailor until my ol' lady tells me to keep it down lol.
Thurman vs Guerrero- I expect there to be a lot of action in this fight. At the very least, at least one of them will have to shut the fuck up about fighting Floyd lmao
Khan vs Ortiz- Battle of the underachievers lol
Bradley vs Garcia- I actually think Bradley will beat him. I can't see him allowing himself to get his by those wild hooks.
Daquan Arnett vs Deandre Lattimore or Jesse Vargas- I like this kid Arnett. Nobody is really talking about him but I think he's got potential. He'd have to come down in weight for the Vargas fight but I think he could stand to shed a few anyway. I also want to see if Lattimore is done for good.
Rios vs Garcia- Will Danny adapt and box, or try to out punch Rios?

Cosmic Dancer
If your thighs, knees, and lower back survived the above with ease, enhance the pose by lowering your buttocks to the ground. Fold forward and repeat the whole series of instructions. Next, repeat the sequence with each foot alternately raised on a block; finally try it with both feet on a block and your buttocks on the ground.
Virabhadrasana III
A standing pose sequence such as this one develops the mindfulness and resolve that Natarajasana demands. Virabhadrasana III, in particular, requires adductor strength to help you maintain your balance. Start in Tadasana (Mountain Pose). Take your feet 3 to 3 1/2 feet apart, turn your right foot out and your left foot slightly in. Inhale as you raise the arms and exhale into Trikonasana (Triangle Pose). Gaze quietly at your upper hand.
Inhale, bend your right knee, and bring your left foot about a foot closer to your right. Bring your right fingertips to the floor, outside the right foot and underneath your shoulder. Exhaling, straighten the right leg while raising the left leg into Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose). Keep the upper leg strong by pushing steadily through the left heel. Keep the standing leg knee pointing forward. Hold for several breaths.
Then rotate the torso and pelvis down so that they are facing the ground. Stretch both arms straight alongside the ears and breathe steadily. You've arrived in Warrior III. To maintain your balance, draw the kneecap up and press the mound of the big toe down. Feel how the inner leg engages when you do this. Extend thoroughly through your left heel. Gaze at your fingertips to help you stay focused and poised. Hold for 5 to 10 breaths. Next, rotate the torso to your right as you lower the left fingertips to the floor. Lift your right arm to arrive in Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana (Revolved Half Moon Pose). Gaze at the upper hand. Finally, lower the left leg to the floor and come into Revolved Triangle (Parivrtta Trikonasana), placing the left hand to the outside of the right foot. After 5 to 10 breaths, reverse the entire sequence, going back through Parivrtta Ardha Chandrasana to Virabhadrasana III, to Ardha Chandrasana and finally Trikonasana. When you're ready, repeat the sequence on the other side.
Then go to a step, or the edge of a sidewalk, or something similar. Place the front half of the foot on the step with the heel suspended off the back. Go through the entire sequence again on each leg. Repeat with the heel supported and the toes suspended. Notice the front and back half of each foot, the inner and outer half, and the front and back quarters of the inner and outer foot. Build up to doing the sequence on every half and quarter of each foot.
Mukta Hasta Sirsasana
Doing a one-legged balancing pose requires structural and neuromuscular balance between each shoulder and its opposite hip. If the lumbar or cervical spine is unstable, and one hip pops up higher than the other, the opposite shoulder becomes strained. Likewise, instability or immobility in the shoulder joint will create strain in the neck and the lower back. By building strong, flexible shoulders, you'll put less strain on the neck and lower back in Natarajasana, which will create greater freedom in the pelvis and trunk. There is no better place to develop such mastery than Sirsasana (Headstand).

To the editor:
In this historic seaport city north of Boston a gathering occurred.
A circle of people surrounded a tree of which a ring was formed consisting of 27 candles placed in bags. The snow fell gently in a spot where normally holiday cheer, laughter and carousing occurs at this time of year. This place was once the village center and hundreds of years before that the center of life for the indigenous people who lived here. For generations this place has reminded all who have passed through it that life has rhythms and cycles that often complement each other but sometimes are in conflict. Today at this very spot the open wound of a nation was exposed. We all bore witness to the mysteries of life and death and we reflected on the juxtaposition of hope and faith all beautifully interlaced in the only redeeming quality of humanity — love.
Most in attendance held hands. The young children especially provided a poignant quality to the surroundings. Knowing instinctively, but not fully understanding the gravity of the gathering, they were silent and behaved well beyond the requirement to do so in such idyllic, festive surroundings.
Individuals offered prayers, songs and pronouncements to deliver comfort and suggestions for understanding the unspeakable tragedy that befell our neighbors in a town many hundreds of miles away. Silently, snowflakes fell and after thousands of them descended on each of us, they formed a reassuring white blanket of hope. Tears fell too. Besides the distinctly perceptible sounds of random snowflakes being seared by the candle flames, there were faint whisperings accompanying subdued crying.
I have experienced all the cycles of grieving in an intense and shortened time frame in the last few days ranging from shock to denial, anger and now acceptance.
This experience validates that evil shall never triumph over good. It has also soundly confirmed for me that the mysteries of the Christmas season, which perpetually dazzles in the eyes of children, can deliver joy even in the depths of despair.
