DALLAS -- When it comes to dress, a tucked-in shirt is usually considered neat and tidy, but this week, the DISD Board of Trustees backed off of a district dress code policy requiring tucked-in shirts.
They say it's because it could be considered harmful to some students self esteem.
With every shift in styles, whether it be sagging pants or unusual hairdos, school district dress codes have had to keep up with the trends. With a culture that is increasingly more sensitive to bullying, those dress codes are often detailed and specific.
According to parents, it's for good reason.
"Because that way, people can't make fun of each other about what they are wearing," said Ana Zetina, who was waiting to pick up a sibling outside Dallas' Woodrow Wilson High School on Friday.
During Thursday's board briefing, the DISD Board of Trustees was asked to review district policy requiring students to wear shirts tucked in.
The board-approved district dress code for students between pre-K and 8th grade reads, "All tops must be worn tucked inside pants, slacks or skirts." There is similar wording that applies to students through 12th grade.
A school district staff member said after getting input from principals, there was concern that heavier students might feel uncomfortable tucking in their shirts. While one board member didn't use the term overweight, it was clear what was meant.
"It was brought to my attention that for the students that are healthy, tucking in your shirt shows your healthiness," said Board President Dr. Lew Blackburn. "So for middle school students, it may be a self-esteem issue."
The sentiment was better expressed by some 15-year-old Woodrow Wilson High School students.
"In all respect," Ruth Blaker said, "the tucked-in shirt makes the muffin top a little more accentuated."
"It's embarrassing for some kids who are heavier-set," Jake Whitten said.
All of the 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds News 8 spoke to were thin, and all of them had shirt tails hanging.
Turns out, a tucked-in shirt may not only draw a little more attention to a little extra around the middle, but it also might make any kid stand out in a crowd.

Tiger Woods was "frustrated" and "confused" by the rules when he took an illegal drop during the third round of the Masters that nearly led to his disqualification. But, said Woods' ex-bagman, who appeared to be rather well-versed in the ins and outs of what happened on that 15th hole, Steve Williams doesn't really know what went down so he won't pass judgment.
Yah, right.
"I don't know the full events that occurred so it's hard to comment," Williams told New Zealand's 3News on Wednesday.
Williams, who was on Woods' bag for 13 of his 14 majors and now hands the clubs to newly crowned Masters champ Adam Scott, then expounded at length about what Woods did and what he probably thought as he was violating the rules.
"From what I can gather he took an illegal drop and signed a scorecard and left the course," Williams said. "Under most circumstances that would result in a disqualification, but they have this thing now, a new rule I've never heard of so I don't fully understand the rule."
Williams, who did not take kindly to receiving the pink slip from Woods in June 2011, was referring to 2011's so-called HDTV Rule 33.7, which allows officials to waive penalties of disqualification under certain circumstances. He noted that he believed his ex "wasn't trying to gain anything on the field" after his third shot to the 15th green caromed off the flagstick and into the water resulting in a penalty shot, but that he lost track of whether he was dealing with a water (yellow stakes) or lateral water (red stakes) hazard.
"Obviously, he was frustrated, he mistook the rule between a red line and a yellow line," Williams said, explaining that Woods must have believed he could take the ball back as far as he wished.
"In his head," Stevie claimed, "he was probably thinking about that. He didn't do it intentionally, it was a mistake. But I think in the fairness of the rules, he should have been disqualified....If the rules of golf are upheld, I believe he should have been disqualified."
Again noting that "I wasn't there, I can't comment," Williams pushed on, discussing the state of his former employee's mind.
"I would say he was pretty frustrated and just got a little bit confused between the two rules," he said. "He didn't do that intentionally; he knows the rules.
"It was just one of those things in the moment and he accidentally dropped the ball, but having said that, it was an incorrect drop, he signed the scorecard and left the course," Williams concluded, as did many other observers with a not-so-obvious an ax to grind. "You know, that's a disqualification."

The votes are in for the first XI in the 2011 MLS All-Star Game against Manchester United, and unsurprisingly, the big market teams have put in a number of players. Four members of the LA Galaxy were voted into the first XI, while three New York Red Bulls players made the list. The Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers got players in with their large fanbases as well, with one player each from FC Dallas and San Jose Earthquakes rounding out the list. Injuries and competitive fixtures might mean Hans Backe doesn't pick these 11 players to start the game, but these are the goalkeeper, four defenders, four midfielders, and two strikers who received the most votes.
MLS First XI
Kasey Keller (Seattle Sounders); Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Sean Franklin (LA Galaxy), Rafa Marquez (New York Red Bulls), Tim Ream (New York Red Bulls); David Beckham (LA Galaxy), Jack Jewsbury (Portland Timbers), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy); Thierry Henry (New York Red Bulls), Chris Wondolowski (San Jose Earthquakes)
Though it's unlikely that this team stays intact as the starting lineup, most of these players will end up facing Wayne Rooney, Chicharito, and company. The game will be held on July 27 at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, NJ.

Q & A with Johanna...
- What advice would you give to prospective students?
- Just breathe. Take your senior year seriously, but also remember to enjoy your last year in high school! God will be with you wherever you decide to go. Also, make informed decisions. Don't just fall in love with a school's website—make sure you visit the school you plan to attend ahead of time. Have fun and take Dory's advice to "just keep swimming."
- How do you spend your free time?
- Most weekends you can find me at Disneyland with my friends, eating cream cheese-filled pretzels, and drinking Jamba Juice. I love baking cupcakes with my sister, hanging out at Starbucks, and catching up on The Office and Modern Family. During the summer, I love bonfires, eating sushi, and kayaking around Balboa Island!

Police crackdown on smugglers
Drugs, guns and fake alcohol are among illegal contraband being smuggled into the North West from overseas hidden in lorries. To crackdown on haulage crimes, police have joined with the Border Force and customs officers to stop and search trucks in Cheshire.
They want to encourage people working in the industry to report on hauliers who are operating outside of the law. Our correspondent Andy Bonner has more.

This won't come as any shock. "Ghostbusters" actor Ernie Hudson -- who played Winston Zeddemore, the late enlister with the Ghostbusters in the 1984 original film -- says Bill Murray is the hold up for the still-gestating "Ghostbusters 3" picture. Anybody coulda really told you that. All the four Ghostbusters have script approval -- the real "four" being Murray, director Ivan Reitman, Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis -- and they have to all be on the same page for the movie to move forward.
Of course, everyone seems to be pretty fine about the concept and idea of a third "Ghostbusters" film except for Murray who has been notoriously critical and outspokenly negative about the project in the last year or more. In a recent interview with MikeMovie (via DreadCentral), Hudson explained the issues, describing it as an mix of Murray being picky and passionate. And it's been unclear up until this point if Hudson would appear in the film or not (Sigourney Weaver will be, Rick Moranis might be), but from the sounds of it, it seems he's on board as well.
Dan and Harold are working on the script. If it happens we will see but Bill has been the hold up. His definition of good is a little bit different than everybody elses. So we will see, I would love to see it happen. I know the fans have been asking for it ... so hopefully. Bill's a great guy, he's kind of quirky but I love him. He's a guy who is very much into what he's feeling. I know he really cares about his work, which is probably why there hasn't been another Ghostbusters as of yet."
So yeah, as you pretty much figured. Last we heard "Ghostbusters 3" might shoot in the spring of 2011 and Aykroyd recently confirmed that actors who are "strong possibilities" to take up the new mantle include Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Eliza Dushku (Will Forte has been rumored too).
jesus lopez | December 5, 2010 7:01 AM
Bill murray don't need die, because the movie is in work for him, he is the heroe in the movie, like john in hard die, robert in indiana, or silvester in rambo. the new generation is only support but only him is importat
in the movie.
jesus lopez | December 5, 2010 6:52 AM
thats right, exist many villains in the real ghostbusters, choise any one sam hain or booguey man and one hundred characters monsters, even lucifer or hades.
LJRich | December 4, 2010 11:05 AM
A lot of the actors are tense about this one. Rick Moranis and Sigourney Weaver were both skeptical about it from what I've read, and Moranis hasn't even agreed to do it yet, at least not that's been confirmed. To be honest...........I have mised feelings about this whole issue, and I'm a fan.

PS- I hope those are not the people you want as the new GB Dan...I really, really, really hope not...
Philip B | December 4, 2010 2:14 AM
I'm at my desk as an assistant in Hollywood.
My briefcase...a black bag with a Ghostbusters logo.
My jacket...holds a Ghostbusters pin.
My desk...a Hotwheels Ecto 1.
I'm a fan. Not because I'm a GB dork and buy crap I don't need, but because the film was great. The film, not films. (Don't get me wrong, I still 'liked' GB2)
Ghostbusters 2 had something great in it, but it lacked certain elements. I think the humor was more on and greater in the first film, as does Bill Murray. I agree with his choices that I have read on many sites and articles and interviews to what he would like to have changed and see in the next film.
Ghostbusters 3 needs to be new and classic at the same time.
Let's look at the newest Star Trek.
The opening was dark, hard hitting, and put you in the world immediately. The film was made by a great director and story teller. He allows us to follow what I consider in this day boring (the 3 Act structure - been there a million times) while giving me / us something new.
-It's not easy.
Bill Murray wants to die in the first reel as mentioned on many interviews and articles. Couldn't agree more.
That's right. I said it.
The world is now filled with a tone that can push the real life threat of the world in which ghosts exist. In Ghostbusters we need to feel this real threat that we have only felt in very brief moments so far. Most of the time we are watching them catch ghosts who are just kind of hanging out.
(Long story short)
We need the Scoleri Brothers (Best part of GB2) or shall I say ghosts like them. (real threats)
By bringing in a hard hitting opening, we reveal the dark world, show the real danger in their jobs (so when people don't like them we care more because of how they fought for us, just like fans need to fight to say- GB rock) we really care when Venkman dies (Seeking immediate revenge in the audience) and 'maybe others' die to save us, we get to see the 'cooler action moments' early on, and we can see why the GB need to be rebuilt...later on
They could need to be rebuilt for various reasons not worth mentioning. (Oh, but I could...)
Murray's concerns: Make it funny. GB2 was lacking what the first GB had. And die in the first reel. (Why he wants to die- pass the torch, doesn't want to film it, who cares?! Writers- work with it and make it amazing)
GB 1 is my favorite comedy, because it had every type of comedy in it. The acting was great. And more importantly- I think it was great...looking back on the interviews and commentaries...because Ivan took his time with Dan to make something great instead of saying "scripts done?! Let's shoot it!" (Need I remind you Star Wars Eps 1-3?)
You can't make a movie 'for the fans' without knowing everything. Look at the 'Real GB' cartoon. Sam Hain...The Boogey Man...great villains that could make great stories for a major Sony Picture films. It is...the 'fan' material. (Meaning it is the 'added' literature)
Anyone reading this or am I rambling?
Why? -Because, I wish I was who I know I will be tomorrow...today...so I can fix this thing.
GB has meant a lot to me.
A lot.
Let the arguments help create something great.
One last thing...if I was making anything like GB or Iron Man or Batman or whatever fan series you want to insert here__________
I would bring in fans to read it. Real fans that can also give a real film knowledge background too.
You're in LA. Just look for my bag or all the other fans I know that are out there praying for something great to come out of all of this.
It's on you guys.
Thanks Dan for pushing this. Thanks Sony for wanting to make more money. Thanks Ivan for helping to create and direct a great first film. Thanks Bill for not letting them make something you know will be bad. And guys...thanks Ernie for being the spokesperson at conventions and festivals who's willing to talk to fans about the series. (Met at Paramount once...you're the only person I have been star struck by since I have moved here. I'm working with someone you have made a film with. He also said you're great.)
You're comedic writers...figure it out.
(There's a moment were GB belongs to the fans and not the creators 'South Park') -So care about them...please! I don't care what you think about this...it's true. GB still exists and is a possibility of being made, because of the fans.
I'm not a fan of most new comedies, because they fail to realize everything that makes GB a great, great comedy.
Philip B.

Gotta love Murray. He knows this is a bad idea. And considering his career success vs. the rest of those involved, I'll say he's the one to listen to. Just play the new Ghostbusters Video Game. It's like a movie, and the plot is fun. It's also the closest any of us will get to be a real Ghostbuster so play it.
jdfjl | December 3, 2010 10:41 AM
Bill Murray is right. This is a stupid idea.
jonathan | December 3, 2010 10:24 AM
The original Ghostbusters characters were smart, college research grant receiving scientists. I can't see any of the rumored new cast actors being able to pull anything like that off, except for Bill Hader. Bill Hader can do anything.
Stephen B | December 3, 2010 10:07 AM
They've been talking about this movie for so long, I feel like I've already seen it. Spoiler alert: it sucked.
rodie | December 3, 2010 10:02 AM
Murray and Hudson are really the only two original Ghostbusters I even care to see in a new one. Aykroyd hasn't been funny since the '80s and Ramis is huge, like really huge physically. Murray and Hudson should be the only original GBs still in the game and they should be shown training the next generation to take their place, while Aykroyd and Ramis should be retired and only have cameos in the film, but cameos that make sense to the story and help move the plot along...

I've had a fear of darkness since l was a little boy. I'm not sure what it was about the dark that made me frightened. Maybe it was the fact that all the imaginary monsters I created in my head suddenly became real, and I couldn't see them. Maybe it's the fact that I hate being alone, and when it's dark, that's exactly how I feel. I was lying in my bed like every other night, waiting to fall asleep. My mother and father had gone next door to a get-together, and had left me home alone. I didn't mind really. I got to watch what I wanted on the telly, and ate whatever I wanted. The only problem was that I was alone. I wanted to call friends and talk, but they were not allowed to receive calls this late. I crawled out of bed to go the kitchen, and fix a snack. Halfway down the stairs was when it happened. The overhead light flickered, and then died. Every other light source in the house followed. I tried to stop myself from screaming for help, because I knew that there was no one. I clutched onto the railing to guide me down the stairs. It took a while, but I could soon see things. Objects became slight outlines of reflected moonlight. I could now guide myself through the house, but where would I go? Mother hides the matches and I can't reach the fuse box. (I would not dare go into the basement anyway.)
I slowly made my way into the living room. My knee bumped into something big. A large hideous beast, whose intent was to tear me to little pieces? No, just a simple couch. Or was it? I could feel the couch's fabric and sighed with relief. I got myself together and proceeded across the living room. My destination was the phone. I would call my parents and they would come home to save me. Something grabbed onto my foot and threw me to the floor! Was it the bony hand of some decaying human? No, it was the corner of the carpet that had caught my foot. Or was it? I got myself up and tried to adjust my vision again. I stared at the wall and shivered. It moved. The wall was actually moving. I backed up away from the wall. Hands and faces tried to press through the wall like it were rubber. Then I looked more closely. it was the shadows of the tree cast from the moonlight outside. I laughed at myself for being so silly. I took one step forward and noticed something else. A shape of a man standing up against the far wall of the room. Actually it looked more like a shadow. I looked around the room and noticed more figures. All dark, all big, and all coming closer. I dropped to my knees and stared at them. I stared at everything, the couch, the carpet the wall, and the shadows ... my god, the shadows ...1

We at Emerald Stays welcome you to our modern and stylish vacation rental condo, in a brand new building located in the hip Belltown neighborhood of Seattle. We own 5 properties in/near downtown Seattle, so do message us even if this particular property is not available.
The absolute best thing about this property is the location, located in Belltown, the residential neighborhood of Downtown. You will be steps away from the famous Pike Place Market, Puget Sound Waterfront, Seattle Aquarium & everything Downtown. The Space Needle & the rest of the Seattle Center are also within walking distance. You will also find some of Seattle's best restaurants, cafes, bakeries, bars & lounges, just outside the building.
With a Walkscore of 98 and transit score of 100, the building is a "Walker's Paradise". So you can skip renting a car. The Convention Center is just 15 mins walk away. You can also catch buses to all of Seattle from across the block and Zipcars are 3 blocks away. This condo's location makes it ideal for both business and holiday travelers.
Since the building just opened up in June 2013, everything is new, modern and stylish. As soon as you enter the building's spacious, beautiful lobby, you will notice the well-equipped 24-hour gym to your left. At the first chance you get, take the elevator up to the rooftop deck and you will be treated to awesome views of downtown and the waterfront. The rooftop deck also has a comfortable lounging area and is fitted with BBQ grills.
The apartment itself is a modern open one-bedroom with hardwood floors and excellent furnishings. The huge windows provide ample light and a spacious feel to the condo. We have furnished this place such that you will feel absolutely at home. Between the plush queen bed and futon (which unfolds to a full size bed), this apartment will comfortably accommodate 3 guests. Apart from the towels and linens already laid out, there are many more to spare in the closets.
The kitchen has stainless steel appliances & is fully equipped with everything you need to cook, serve and enjoy a wonderful meal (How about taking the food upstairs and making a picnic out of it).
We think Internet is a basic utility and provide dedicated high-speed Wifi. There is a 43-inch HDTV with complimentary Netflix. Please note, we do not provide Cable on the TV. The Roku box does provide you access to news and on-demand programming. There is also TV with cable in the common lounging space.
Come live like Locals in one of the most premium buildings of Seattle!
It is a No Smoking Building, so we will expect you to respect that.
Parking : Parking in the building can be arranged (based on availability) at an additional cost. Although if you are staying in the center of the city you don't need a car at all.

Neither Purdue's Danny Hope nor Ohio State's Urban Meyer can trust their defenses these days.
As a result, no one has any idea what's going to happen when the teams meet on Saturday at Ohio Stadium.
The Boilermakers (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten) have been dinged for an average of 41 points and 527 yards in losses the past two weeks to Michigan and Wisconsin, both at home. Over that same span, the Buckeyes (7-0, 3-0) have escaped with wins over Nebraska and Indiana while surrendering 43.5 points and 458 yards a game.
After a week of being openly doubted, neither defense is feeling very good about itself.
The big question now is, will they respond to the criticism or are their underlying problems that can't be easily solved?

Witness Alaska's frontier lumberjacks battle against British Columbia's premier woodsmen during this exciting, no-holds-barred lumberjack competition to determine who will claim the title of Bull of the Woods.
Depart the gangway for the brief walk along the pier in Ketchikan. Upon arrival at the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show venue, covered, heated and cushioned seating will be provided. You will witness Alaska's rich and colorful forest history come to life as world-champion athletes appearing on ESPN will be featured in chopping, sawing, speed climbing, log rolling, and other contests.

Voted the Best New Attraction for 2000 by Alaska's Visitor Association, this wonderful combination of education, entertainment and excitement depicts how the lumberjacks overcame the rugged and often-hazardous Tongass Forest and coastal wilderness.

The essentials of Macro photography.Hi, deviants! This week is Community week, and I am giving my best to introduce some essential tips concerning macro photography.But first of all: What is macro photography?Macro photography - what is it about? Wikipedia tells us things like "extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size" (Source: Wikipedia.org)But is that really all that matters? It is a common fact that many people believe that macro photography is photography which refers to life size
Intimate, touching, emotive VIIThis feature is for all the happy couples in the world. And for the good friends.All I ever wanted was to be loved for who I am. For what I love, for what I need. I wanted to be loved for myself. But now I feel like this love is.. being torn apart by everyday-life. By fights, discussions.. But all I ever wanted was to be happy with my boy. I hope everything will be okay soon..What do I need now?It's love..It's love.....Wasting Time by NinaSever

My first thought was, "WHO was on that plane?" Meaning, "WHO prayed?" or "WHO was God trying to save?" Kudos and thanks to the pilot but pilots have often said, "God is my co-pilot!" I hope to meet him when he comes home to Danville!

Begin with a drive through the scenic countryside of central Portugal to the region of Leiria approximately 68 miles north of the city of Lisbon. En route, to the rugged hillside village of Fatima, your guide will describe the legendary story behind the region's fame. Now known as the "Lourdes of Portugal" it is one of the most visited Marian Shrines in the world today, dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Unlike many of Europe's great Marian pilgrimage sites, the sanctuary of Fatima dates not from the Middle ages, but only from early in the 20th century.
The atmosphere of intense spirituality and the importance of Fatima have been attested to by the visits of two Popes: Paul VI and John Paul II. The fame of this place is the result of the Apparitions of Our Lady of the Rosary to three shepherd children, Lúcia and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta, whom between May and October of 1917 witnessed successive apparitions. The last one, on October 13, 1917, was confirmed by a miracle witnessed by 70,000 people "on the day the sun danced". A short guided walk will take you from the parking area to the actual site where you will receive an orientation and be introduced to this sanctuary which welcomes millions of pilgrims and tourists from all over the world.
From here, enjoy free time to explore the Sanctuary and Basilica at your leisure. The gigantic Basilica located on the far side of the esplanade is decorated in neo-classical style, with a central tower 213 ft. high, the construction of which was begun on May 13, 1928. The Chapel of Apparitions is at the very heart of the Basilica and the exact location of the apparitions is marked by a marble pillar which holds a statue of the Virgin Mary. The entrance to the Fátima Sanctuary, to the south of the rectory, is a segment of the Berlin Wall intended to emphasize the belief that the Rosary prayers influenced the fall of the Berlin Wall related to the Consecration of Russia based on the Our Lady of Fátima messages.
After your visit, rejoin your guide and coach for the journey back to Lisbon.
Please note: The drive between Lisbon to Fatima is approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes in each direction. This tour includes approximately 30-minutes of walking, at times over uneven or cobblestone surfaces, plus any additional walking at the guests' discretion during free time. The tour is not considered suitable for wheelchair guests and those with mobility concerns are cautioned to evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability. Weather appropriate clothing and flat, comfortable walking shoes are suggested. When visiting inside the Basilica (optional), knees and shoulders must be covered. Shorts and sleeveless shirts are not permitted.

Bolton Wanderers needs a win against Stoke City in order to remain in the Premier League, and they almost got it. It was 2-1 for the majority of the second half, and the greater concern was the shocking scoreline at the Eithad, where 10-man QPR had a shocking 2-1 lead against Manchester City. In the 77th minute a penalty was awarded for Ádám Bogdán's challenge in the box on Peter Crouch, which Johnathan Walters converted to bag his second of the game. Bolton poured everyone at their disposal forward but it wasn't happening for them, with Stoke managing to drag out the draw sending Bolton to the Championship.
Just minutes later Sergio Aguero would score a winner for Manchester City deep into stoppage time, meaning that a win for the Trotters would have kept them safe. That being the case, the scrutiny of both Stoke's penalty (Bogdán appeared to have gotten the ball cleanly and the contact looked to have been minimal) and to a far greater extent Walters' controversial opener will likely be intense over these next few days. Clearly this result is not the sole reason for Bolton's relegation, but had a foul been called the Trotters would have likely gone on to make the great escape and stay in the Premier League. It's a bitter pill to swallow.
QPR will consider themselves incredibly lucky, as a different outcome at the Britannia combined Joey Barton's sending off and a last-minute capitulation would have sent them back to the Championship. They'll survive by the skin of their teeth, however, and with the promise of further investment over the summer they may well be a much improved side next year. For Bolton a season full of all different varieties of misery has come to the cruelest of ends, and they will play next season in the Championship, their first spell below the top flight in ten seasons.

Stop the Minnesota Breed Ban
On Friday, June 15, 2007 St. Paul Rep. John Lesch held a press conference to announce that in 2008 he will propose a ban that will outlaw the ownership of 5 so-called dangerous breeds, including Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Akitas, Chow Chows, Wolf-hybrids...and ANY mix thereof in the state of MN. Anyone caught owning one of the banned dogs would be subject to misdemeanor charges and face as long as 90 days in jail and a fine of as much as $1,000. The statue would force all dogs of the banned breeds be removed from the state or euthanized. We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens of the State of Minnesota and their supporters. While recognizing the concerns of State Rep. John Lesch, we are extremely alarmed regarding the 5 breed and mix breed ordinance that is being proposed, which would have a negative impact on responsible, law-abiding dog owners. As a state representative, it is your duty to represent us to congress. We ask that you hear our concerns and oppose this breed specific ban legislation.

Got this tire swing for a treehouse. The grandkids love it. Best of all it easy to put together and it comes with everything.
Industrial grade swing!
Tim from Longview, TX– Verified Buyer
This tire swing is quality. Very sturdy. Smooth swing, ball joint with a grease fitting. Im very happy with.
Adam from Alexandria, VA– Verified Buyer
Ordered this swing because we did not want to have a real tire with the ring open in the middle where rain water could collect and attract mosquitoes. It is exactly what we wanted and the kids love it!!!
Almost perfect.
Carol from Berkeley, CA– Verified Buyer
Would be absolutely perfect if it had come with a piece to hang the swing from a tree branch instead of a play structure. We had to hunt far and wide to find an appropriate adaptation. Otherwise, it's great!
great addition to our playset
theresa lysaght from Andover, MN– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
This is a nice looking tire swing and so far, the kids are enjoying it. It's not going to be a high flyer like some of the ones at the parks but I appreciate that my kids probably won't puke on this one. Seems quite durable.
No Hardware to mount
Jennifer Peck from Hilliard, OH– Verified Buyer
I like the tire swing and knew exactly what it would be like since I have seen the gorilla playsets before. It was a better price here than anywhere else. But no mounting hardware was included so that is increasing my expense more than I had anticipated. I understand no swivel but not even the carabiners to attach the chains to a swivel.
green swing
John McLane from Salt lake city, UT– Verified Buyer
I was a little disappointed that it wasn't heavier plastic or rubber,but I am sure my grand kids won't care

Here in CT the DOT is using a salt-magnesium chloride and/or a salt-calcium chloride brine to pre-treat the roads before a snow storm and then salt after the roads have been plowed. Little to no sand is being used in CT.
The trucking industry in CT has been in an uproar over this for the last few years claiming their trucks are literally rotting out from under them. The DOT response - wash your trucks regularly. Here's a quote from an article earlier this year;
HARTFORD, Conn. —
A group representing trucking companies is asking Connecticut lawmakers to ban an ice-melting chemical the state uses on its roads, saying it's too corrosive.
The Motor Transport Association of Connecticut says legislators should make deicers like magnesium chloride illegal. Association President Michael Riley told the Republican-American of Waterbury that the chemical is corroding trucks at an unprecedented rate and officials should be worried about it affecting bridge metal.
Truckers have been questioning the state's use of a salt and magnesium chloride mixture over the past few years. The state used to use a salt and dirt mix to clear snow and ice off the roads.
State DOT spokesman Kevin Nursick says the mix works well and it's up to motorists to wash their cars to avoid corrosion.
I took a look at the underside of our van back in March when we were doing some engine work - not pretty. Spent about $20 at a car wash getting the underside completely rinsed off.

Gregory Meeks on Principles & Values
Dem./Working-Families (NY-6)
The Adherents.com website is an independent project and is not supported by or affiliated with any organization (academic, religious, or otherwise).
Such factors as religious service attendance, belief, practice, familiarity with doctrine, belief in certain creeds, etc., may be important to sociologists, religious leaders, and others. But these are measures of religiosity and are usually not used academically to define a person's membership in a particular religion. It is important to recognize there are various levels of adherence, or membership within religious traditions or religious bodies. There's no single definition, and sources of adherent statistics do not always make it clear what definition they are using.
As New Democrats, we believe in a Third Way that rejects the old left-right debate and affirms America's basic bargain: opportunity for all, responsibility from all, and community of all.
On January 2, 1969, [three newly elected and six previously elected] African-American Members of Congress met as the Democratic Select Committee. On February 2, 1971 the group agreed to be known as the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC).
The goals of the CBC are to positively influence the course of events pertinent to African-Americans and others of similar experience and situation, and to achieve greater equity for persons of African descent in the design and content of domestic and international programs and services. The Caucus has not only been at the forefont of issues affecting African-Americans, but has garnered international acclaim for advancing agendas aimed at protecting human rights and civil rights for all people. Today, the Congressional Black Caucus stands 38 members strong.
Upon her election as Chair of the CBC for the 107th Congress, Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson expounded: "Whether the issue is popular or unpopular, simple or complex, the CBC has fought for thirty years to protect the fundamentals of democracy. The Caucus is committed to ensuring that the standard of living for minorities in America does not retrogress, but instead rises to meet the expectations of both our ancestors and our children. The Congressional Black Caucus is probably the closest group of legislators on the Hill. We work together almost incessantly, we are friends and, more importantly, a family of freedom fighters. Our diversity makes us stronger, and the expertise of all of our members has helped us be effective beyond our numbers."
There is overwhelming evidence of official misconduct, deliberate fraud and an attempt to suppress voter turnout by unlawful means that were used to produce George W. Bush's false victory. The preponderance of the available evidence points to Vice President Al Gore as the actual winner of the most votes in Florida and he should have been awarded the state's electoral votes.
Vice President Al Gore may have conceded his judicial contest, but that is irrelevant. There is not provision for the concession of candidates in the Constitution. There is, however, a process set out in law for Congress to consider challenges to electoral votes. The Congress, on behalf of all Americans, is the final judge of how much election fraud to accept.
The hearings held by the NAACP clearly showed that there were massive violations of the Voting Rights Act, and that tens of thousands of Floridians were denied due process when they were removed from the voter rolls without notice. Still others were intimidated by police checkpoints set up near polling places. In Miami-Dade and Broward, investigations by independent news organizations have found hundreds of ineligible persons who were allowed to vote. There clearly were significant inequities in assigning what turned out to be non-working voting machines to precincts that were heavily African-American in Miami-Dade. We would not tolerate any of these errors if they took place in some other country. Is our duty to our own country any less?
Millions of Americans have already expressed their public outrage at the myriad injustices which occurred in the making of George W. Bush's mistaken victory. But public outrage is not enough. The laws of this country provide for the objection which we herein make on behalf of freedom, justice and democracy. We, Members of the Congressional Black Caucus, therefore wholeheartedly object to the acceptance of the presidential electors from Florida.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2006 AU scores as follows:
Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom. AU is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.
Americans United is a national organization with members in all 50 states. We are headquartered in Washington, D.C., and led by the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director. AU has more than 75,000 members from all over the country. They include people from all walks of life and from various faith communities, as well as those who profess no particular faith. We are funded by donations from our members and others who support church-state separation. We do not seek, nor would we accept, government funding.
Since its inception, the DLC has championed policies from spurring private sector economic growth, fiscal discipline and community policing to work based welfare reform, expanded international trade, and national service. Throughout the 90's, innovative, New Democrat policies implemented by former DLC Chairman President Bill Clinton have helped produce the longest period of sustained economic growth in our history, the lowest unemployment in a generation, 22 million new jobs, cut the welfare rolls in half, reduced the crime rate for seven straight years, balanced the budget and streamlined the federal bureaucracy to its smallest size since the Kennedy administration.
Now, the DLC is promoting new ideas -- such as a second generation of environmental protection and new economy and technology development strategies -- that is distinctly different from traditional liberalism and conservatism to build the next generation of America's leaders.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have placed the franchise tag on kicker Connor Barth, who's coming off the most productive season of his career.
Barth converted 15 consecutive field goal attempts to finish 26 of 28 in 2011. His club-record 92.9 field goal percentage was second in the NFL last season.
In three seasons with the Bucs, Barth has gone 63 of 75 on field goals and 71-of-71 on extra points. In only his second game with the team, he became the first Tampa Bay player -- and the fourth in league history -- to make three field goals of 50 or more yards in the same game.

We thank all of you for your past patronage. We have enjoyed having each and every one of you as guests in our home. But after 12 years, it is time to move on.

Located in the beautiful pastoral setting of North Haverhill, New Hampshire, the Hayloft Inn is a newly built post & beam home overlooking the first fairway of Blackmount Country Club and the Vermont hills. North Haverhill is a small rural town in the Upper Connecticut River Valley — north of Dartmouth College, and on the western slopes of the White Mountains. The Hayloft Inn has recently gone green with both solar electricity and water.
The Hayloft Inn features vaulted ceilings, country decor, hearty country breakfasts, a Maxfield Parrish Gallery and the nearby Blackmount Country Club Golf Course and Driving Range. The rooms are named after local mountains.
Our guests will enjoy the unique country decor and furnishings collected over many years from family, friends, and country auctions.
The hearty breakfast we offer our guests will long be remembered by all.
Two sample breakfast menus:
Are you hungry yet? We also offer homemade donuts with maple syrup. No matter when you're here, you'll have a great breakfast. That's our promise. Just ask our many guests. Special diet needs are our specialty.
The Maxfield Parrish Gallery is a spectacular room displaying Parrish prints and memorabilia. It is a wonderful area for guests to sit, relax, and view the work of a well-known local artist.
Whatever the reason you come to stay with us, the area offers many activities for you. There are antique shops, flea markets & country fairs. There is golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, walking, canoeing, kayaking, downhill skiing, snowmobiling, and x-country skiing. At any time of the year, there are scenic drives.
Above all, come to the Upper Connecticut River Valley and the Western boundary of New Hampshire White Mountains to relax in its rural character. Catch a glimpse of wild turkeys, geese, deer, ducks, moose and bear. Enjoy the seasonal sights and sounds of nature. Here, away from the city lights, the Milky Way, stars, comets and Northern Lights are sights to behold.
The unhurried ambience of the Hayloft Inn at Blackmount and the Blackmount Country Club Golf Course can be enjoyed by all.
