Boehner: Oh, hey, I was just teasing my caucus by mocking them over immigration « Hot Air
Via the Free Beacon, can lefties and righties join hands and proclaim our mutual disgust at this guy for endlessly talking out of both sides of his mouth on this subject? I feel like I've been writing the same two posts, alternating weekly, for the past year: "Boehner vows to make immigration reform happen" and "Boehner blames Obama for failure of immigration reform." Last week was dominated by the first type; this week, apparently, will be dominated by the second.
I've got a better idea, Allahpundit. How about we talk about what is really going on here?
We know that the deep pockets GOP donors desperately want immigration "reform," and are willing to do almost anything to get it. We know further that many GOP strategists believe (although on little or no actual evidence) that pushing scamnesty through will help the GOP electorally. Although some of them are realistic enough to understand that scamnesty won't increase ethnic voting for the GOP, but they hope that taking the issue off the table for this generation will at least keep that vote from eroding.
On the other hand, the Republican conservative grass roots hates the notion of scamnesty, and looks willing to punish, at least in part, any GOP representatives who votes for it. And this is an ominous piece of news for the party as it heads into what should be a huge win in the fall elections this year.
What to do, what to do?
I think it's pretty obvious.
John Boehner is going to attempt to forge a bare majority, involving as few Republican Representatives as possible – and as many of them from "safe" districts on this issue, as he can.
He's going to shove it through the House on that basis, after which it will go to the Senate sometime late this summer, where Harry Reid will let the GOP Senators scream and yell, and then hammer it through anyway, even if he has to suspend the filibuster on legislation in order to get it done. Why wouldn't he? The Democrats have demonstrated a willingness to do whatever is necessary to achieve their long-term goals, and the bottom line for Reid and Obama is that as long as there is a "path to citizenship" (scamnesty) in the bill, they believe they can count on several million new Democrat voters over the next few years. So whatever it takes to get it on the books, that's what they will do.
Then comes the fallout. First, Boehner will likely either retire, or at least step down from the Speakership. But almost all of the GOP caucus in the House will be able to run against this scamnesty. After all, thanks to the mostly Dem coalition forged by Boehner, they didn't have to vote for it.
Bingo. In one fell swoop, scamnesty as an issue dangerous to the Republicans is neutralized. The Democrats and Boehner will take all the blame (although he might pay no bigger price than losing his Speakership). About which they (and maybe he) could care less (he'll bank his payoff later). They're already assuming they'll get their ass kicked this fall, but if they can walk away before the election with one of the biggest prizes in three decades – scamnesty – they'll consider the trade well worth it. On top of that, they'll be able to run this fall on having passed amnesty in the House against the GOP opposition. Besides, as everybody keeps telling me, they're going to retake the Senate in 2016, so what's the big deal anyway? They're out of power except for Backstop Barry and his Veto Pen for the next two years, but that was going to be the case no matter what happened.
Anyway, that's what I think is going on. Check me later to see if I called it correctly.

I prune Acer dissectum every spring. Remove all die back annually and prune all branches back. Done just as buds are bursting
Enjoy your chocolate Archie. Yep, keep warm
Sorry chicky...missed your post
Got it too.......spelling has it.
Can I help with the Ark Punkdoc?
I take my,old mum for regular pain injections and her doctor is a laugh. He always strikes me as being a bit "odd" but everyone likes him. Refreshingly puts his patients at ease though
Can't tell until it leafs up. A photo then will confirm.
I would do it as Busy suggests. If its a spirea .....like Anthony waterer, for example.....I would cut it hard back to the ground after flowering. It will quickly send up fresh growth for summer and flower again. If its a potentilla I would tidy it up in late summer. Whatever the plant is it will look better and be far more compact.
Hiya Jim
No, sometimes they fly from Paradise Park...world famous for parrots, eagles, etc etc....and simply perch on high trees, pylons, etc. they are huge. Not common, just happens on odd occasions. Paradise Park is about 1mile away as the crow....eagle...flies
Me too Jim....wish I knew more about birds but wildlife too. I live where there are many rare wild plants yet know nothing of them. That's sad and I need to rectify that.
All calm now folks. Not for long though methinks.
Actually quite sunny albeit windy at times.
So it's the jet stream that's to blame. Won't move. Stuck. Just sucking and blowing wind and rain at Cornwall and england.
How can people strike at times like these? They have a right to but surely a bit of common care should kick in for those needing to get home as quickly amd as safely as poss.
This is fast becoming my favourite thread Marion. Always popping in to check your news
Glad,ma is fine Dove...son too.
Reassurance is so important isn't it? We all need it occasionally.
Hiya KEVD9T3
Warm welcome. Nice to have ??ou here.
I think Salino is right on both counts. It does seem an odd plant to try and shape and it will naturally try to grow as it wants to now. However, maybe to look at shortening some branches initially to get a semblance of a natural shape. Would do this when growth can be seen in early spring to avoid any dieback.
I do like topiary to a "natural" shape though. Far from being ghastly I think many people like it. Often makes plants more tactile. Same with yellow or variegated foliage.....it adds another dimension to the garden, a sparkle, an edge a boost. I topiarise a lot of shrubs like this to create a nice rounded or conical shape when not in flower.

But, should further review be needed, such as when the shipping address is not on file with the bank, the e-retailer conducts a manual review. While e-retailers avail themselves of automated processes that block the bulk of theft attempts, manual review remains important for those iffy sales that could be valid, but need a quick investigation. Automated measures include address verification services from payment processors and velocity checks that measure the number of recently attempted purchases from a particular web address.
The cell phone shift
At BirthdayDirect.com, Elam attempts to make the manual review process as quick and automated as possible. He built the company's manual review program so employees could click a button and check the distance between the shipping and billing addresses via a link to Google Maps. BirthdayDirect.com employees quickly can determine if the shipping and billing addresses are in the same metropolitan area. If so, that makes it more likely the retailer will approve the transaction, he says.
Another button, when clicked, automatically populates the customer's phone in a reverse address search to check if the supplied address matches that of the phone number. While acknowledging this step does not work with cell phone numbers, it is another tool, and an easy one to check, Elam says. Unlike directory assistance for landlines, no such service exists for cell phone numbers.
Overall, about 75% to 80% of BirthdayDirect.com's customers use a cell phone as their primary contact number, and 65% have only a cell phone number to provide, Elam says. The next most-provided number is their work phone number, as either a primary or alternate, he adds.
Ideally, there is no need to contact the customer to verify the transaction, Elam says. He views contacting the customer as a last resort. "When she submits an order the next thing she should get is an order confirmation e-mail," he says. "I don't want to give her a reason to back out of the transaction."
E-retailers are sensitive about the prospect of invalidating legitimate sales, Fergerson says. "The manual review queues are getting bigger," she says, basing this on anecdotal information from e-retailer sources. As an e-retailer, Fergerson says she would increase her budget for manual reviews time or be prepared to take more fraud losses.
"You never want to spend more preventing the fraud than the actual fraud losses total," she says. When the cost to prevent fraud is more than the fraud itself, legitimate sales are often being rejected, she says.
That helps explain why Elam at BirthdayDirect.com is so focused on the manual review process. Families and friends always have birthdays to share, and party supplies to buy. "I don't want anything to tarnish the BirthdayDirect.com name," he says.

Henrico man still 'making flavor'
Retire (v.) - (1)To withdraw, as for rest or seclusion.
(2) To withdraw from one's occupation, business, office, or usual field of activity.
(3) To stop working.
No matter how a dictionary defines retirement, any self-respecting edition should mark the entry with an asterisk: Does not apply to Frank Daylor.
Retired a decade ago this month from Philip Morris USA, Daylor spent 34 years there "making flavors" — particularly for chewing gum. Those of a certain age may recall a few products he helped develop, both at PM and at his previous employer, Beechnut.
Remember Clark's Teaberry gum, a former PM product (and inspiration for the Teaberry Shuffle)? Or "Yipe Stripes," the striped gum by Beechnut?
"I tasted a lot of chewing gum!" Daylor says with a laugh now — but the years of tasting haven't stopped him from continuing to experiment with flavors.
He makes a mean egg nog for Christmas gatherings and whips up specialties like clam chowder for get-togethers with the PIGS. That's the Progressive Investment Gourmet Society, founded at St. Mary's Catholic Church in the late 1960s as a retirement program for the late pastor. Over the years, Daylor reports, members have broken even and more on their investments.
"But that's not the true focus," he emphasizes of the monthly meetings in members' homes. "It's really an eating and drinking society!"
A native of Fall River, Mass., Daylor grew up the youngest of five siblings in an extended-family household of grandparents, aunts and uncles.
While studying chemistry at Fordham, he reconnected with his future wife Joan, a high school classmate. (Coincidentally, Joan was also the daughter of a man who was drafted into World War I with Daylor's father in 1917.)
After his brief military stint and a few years in upstate New York, Frank and Joan settled in Henrico.
Their three children attended St. Mary's and other parochial schools, which led Daylor into one of his many volunteer careers: advocating for Catholic schools. Founder of the St. Mary's Parent-Teacher Organization, he went on to lead the area-wide federation of home-school associations and play numerous other supportive roles — including TV appearances on behalf of vouchers.
Meanwhile, he also served as one of the original Eucharistic ministers at St. Mary's Church and went on to become a lector, while Joan was the "guitar lady" and a volunteer for diocesan English as a Second Language programs.
Daylor speaks of his children John (a realtor and the father of his three grandchildren), Patricia (an optometrist), and Christine (a United Airlines employee) with obvious pride, and readily admits to a lack of foresight when it comes to career advice.
When John left a solid job with benefits and a steady income to go into real estate, for instance, his father remembers thinking the move was "crazy."
"I've never been so wrong in my life," Daylor says now, with a nod to his son's success.
A lifelong interest in football — which he admits he played in high school "without much notoriety" — got him involved in his sideline career as an official.
Even today, he can reel off names of standout players, coaches and teams he observed in the 1970s — from Barty Smith, a Freeman grad who went on to the pros, to Benedictine's Carroll Jarvis — and recall high school, college and minor league games he officiated from Kilmarnock to Emporia to Bluestone.
Not to mention recite a few stories.
Zebra tales
Racial tension was a constant at games in that era of desegregation, busing, and redistricting, and player complaints of namecalling and epithets were among the challenges facing a referee. But Daylor's favorite anecdotes recall the light·hearted incidents — such as the halftime when a janitor inadvertently locked in the Huguenot H.S. team.
Since the home team spent halftime in a facility near the field, it took everyone else awhile to figure out why Huguenot hadn't shown up for the second half. And Daylor says he couldn't resist teasing the freed-but-frustrated HHS coach: "You're late! That's gonna cost you 15!"
In another favorite memory, Daylor officiated a night game at Westover School between the Bon Air Bruins and the New River Marines from Camp Lejeune. When the contest ended in a tie, officials thought they were through; but to their dismay, the teams insisted on playing overtime and the game dragged on with no score.
"It's alleged," says Daylor, with a playful grin, "that after several possessions, one team [missed] a field goal, and I [signaled a score] and said, "Close enough! Seven-Eleven closes in five minutes!' "
Every third Wednesday of the month, Daylor joins approximately 70 or so other retired coaches, officials, principals and sportswriters for breakfast and a round of similar stories at a meeting of the WARTS.
"Now who put that name together, I don't know," he chuckles. "It was there before I retired."
The acronym, he explains, stands for Worn-out Associated Retired Taskmasters Society; and as the name would indicate, "It's an organization of no particular structure."
Speakers range from journalists to professional athletes, and conversation is heavy on "the good old days" and "keeping up on who's where. It's a keep-the-home-fires-burning kind of thing."
And the acronyms go on. In addition to WARTS and PIGS, Daylor has volunteered for ACT NOW ("Awareness of Crime Today, Neighbors on Watch"), a program of the Henrico County Division of Police.
Daylor got involved with ACT NOW, which provides citizen patrols at county malls during the holiday season, after graduating from Henrico's 10th Citizens Police Academy. He learned about Citizen's Academy when he playfully confronted his friend Jack Polly, a CPA alumnus who surprised him by riding by in a police car.
"Aren't prisoners supposed to ride in the back?" Daylor teased Polly — only to find himself recruited to attend the next academy.
The latest acronym in Daylor's life is WOW ("Widows or Widowers") a group from St. Mary's that meets for socializing and support.
Since the loss of his wife Joan in Nov. 2002, Daylor has incorporated visits to her Westhampton Cemetery grave site into his daily routine (along with near-daily visits to church and the Y). Keeping the calendar full is one way he copes, and the WOW events help somewhat.
"I think it will perpetuate itself," he says of the new group. "It's a good thing to do. We have no yearbook and no diploma," he adds with a smile, "but we already have two graduates [who left the group and married]."
Daylor says he and the children also try to cope by trying to live as Joan would want. A month after her death, for instance, the family agonized over whether to hold their annual Christmas Day party. But since Joan had started the tradition — a response to people who rushed off from Christmas morning masses saying they had to go cook — they went ahead with the celebration. "We were very, very glad we did it," says Daylor.
Another celebration he continues in Joan's memory is a trip to New York City for St. Patrick's Day — an event the couple first attended in 1956 and revived after Frank's retirement.
In 2003, the first St. Patrick's Day without Joan, Daylor wasn't sure how much he could enjoy the parade or the big post-parade party.
When daughters Patty and Christine volunteered to accompany him, he wondered, "Does that mean they don't trust me? Or that they want to carry on for their mother?"
Suffice it to say that all enjoyed the trip, and that Daylor will be returning to New York City for St. Pat's in 2004.
"We're keeping something going that Joan loves," he says with a smile. "And she always loved watching me make a fool of myself!"

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

January 09, 2001, 2:28 PM — PROVO, UTAH -- Novell is expected to ship by the end of the month the latest version of its ZENworks management software, which makes it easier for IT managers to monitor, manage and distribute software to Windows NT, Windows 2000 and NetWare servers.
Novell has added software distribution capabilities for NT and Win 2000, allowing ZENworks for Servers to be used in a wide variety of local and remote heterogeneous networks. Although ZENworks uses Novell Directory Services, neither NDS for NT nor NDS eDirectory are needed to distribute files and programs to NT or Win 2000 servers.
Novell's ZENworks products account for more than 25% of the company's revenue and are its fastest-growing line. ZENworks can reduce desktop software installation time by almost half and save almost $40 per employee per month, estimates research firm IDC of Framingham, Mass. The product competes with Microsoft's Systems Management Server and IntelliMirror.
Specifically, ZENworks for Servers 2.0 lets customers:
- Distribute files, patches, fixes and support packs to NT, Win 2000 and NetWare servers.
The software also integrates ZENworks for Desktop features, letting customers forward desktop configuration tasks to local and remote servers for distribution and action on desktop machines.
For instance, a parts distributor might want to update a parts list with its remote retailers on a daily basis. With ZENworks for Servers, the network manager at the distributor would only need to know the IP addresses of the retailers' servers and the ports the servers are on so firewalls could be opened between networks and the parts list distributed. Digital certificates would validate the correct partner. Tasks managed through ZENworks for Desktops would be handled in the same way.
"If [I can put] ZENworks for Servers on my NT and NetWare servers all over the country, hook in ZENworks for Desktops and do a double push-down to the server and desktop, that's a great fit," says Rocco Esposito, chief technology officer for Hunter Douglas in Upper Saddle River, N.J. "We have a distributed bar-code system. To be able to do an upgrade in lock-step and blast it out would be a great feature."
ZENworks for Servers also incorporates the full management console of ManageWise, Novell's network management package, adding SNMP monitoring and traps, the ability to perform trend analysis and send alerts for out-of-threshold conditions for NT and Win 2000 servers, as well as NetWare networks.

Dentist in Fairfield Offers New Procedure For Improved Smile Straightening
FAIRFIELD, OH, February 13, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many patients grow discouraged at the thought of wearing bulky, metal braces for a year or more. With advancements in dentistry, Dr. Andrew Dine,

With this new procedure, I can help my patients achieve straighter teeth without the wait that normally accompanies traditional braces," said Dr. Andrew Dine,

Hey everyone, So I have room for 4 cornys in my fridge and I currently have 3 filled/will be filled with Imperial/India Brown Ale (it falls between the two)7.7% ABV 104IBU, IPA 7.4% ABV 65 IBU, and Lemongrass Wheat 4.4% ABV 18IBU..
What does everyone here think I should brew in order to make a good rounded collection of beers? There is no particular style of beer I am overly opposed to so feel free to be inventive. I imagined a stout or lager, but I really want to hear what everyone has to say.
A nice mild Pale ale or a porter or stout
I do have a cocoa almond porter in fermentation...unfortunately it isn't mine lol. A buddy is trying out brewing at my place. I might have to rebrew it
hhhmmmm never considered a schwarzbier what exactly constitutes a schwarzbier?
I say an Irish Red, or a California Common, but then again, that is just about all I make anymore.
niedrige Klasse Braugesellschaft
You need something really malty to balance out all those IBU's. I like the porter or stout idea. Maybe a southern english brown ale.
Since it is summer, do you think I should shy away from the darker beers? Maybe a light refreshing saison? Or do you think the lemongrass wheat will be too similar? I will see how this cocoa almond porter turns out and I may rebrew it.

The Peabody City Council voted last night to increase the mayor's salary to $105,000 per year.
At the same time, councilors voted to tie their own salary to the mayor's, providing for it to be 9 percent of his total earnings plus a $1,900 stipend.
Councilor Dave Gamache, who made both motions, noted that neither the mayor nor the council has gotten a salary increase since 2001.
"I believe that the chief administrative officer of the city should earn one of the top 10 salaries," he said.
Instead, the mayor is out-earned by his department heads, as well as several police officers and firefighters.
Noting that he has tried to increase the mayor's pay several times in the past, Gamache said he was stymied by the fact that former Mayor Michael Bonfanti consistently declined any increase. If the mayor had been receiving boosts to commensurate with the amounts gained in the city's union contracts, he would now be earning $123,195, according to Gamache.
"We have to make up for lost ground," Gamache said.
Mayor Ted Bettencourt currently earns $94,537. He could not be reached last night to say whether he would take the increase.
Gamache also called for a raise for the council, comparing their compensation with other cities, citing more than $15,000 paid in Revere and Lynn and more than $11,000 paid in Beverly. The increase voted last night would raise councilors' salaries to $9,450.
Set to retire at the end of the year, Gamache would not benefit from the increase, which kicks in January 2014.
Councilor Jim Liacos added that any increase ought to also include school board members, who haven't seen their salaries increased since 1998. He won support for providing another $1,100 to them, saying, "They work every bit as hard as we do."
Not everyone was eager to embrace the pay raise. Member Anne Manning-Martin said, "My vote would not be any reflection on the hard work the mayor's been doing." But she added, "I will not support the motion. ... It's more a reflection on the economy and the struggle that people are going through."

Sherdog reports on the ambition of Bitteti Combat to re-ignite a major commercial MMA scene in Brazil:
For years, Brazilian fans and fighters have dreamed that MMA would someday garner support from the country's government. That dream was realized on Aug. 3, when Rio de Janeiro Governor Sérgio Cabral hosted a special ceremony to announce Bitetti Combat 4.
"It brings some hope," (Pedro) Rizzo said. "When the UFC came to Brazil in 1998, we thought it was the beginning of a new era for MMA here, but it never happened. We had some nice events, but not a top one like the UFC. The proposal of Bitetti Combat is to put on a great show with some of the greatest Brazilian fighters inside the Octagon. So this event brings back the hope of having MMA growing in Brazil like it is in the U.S.A. and other countries."
Governor Cabral, who was presented an MMA glove by Bitetti inside a cage constructed in the gardens of governor's palace, has guaranteed his support and launched a historical partnership with MMA.
The historical context here is key. As I wrote in my 14th installment of MMA history, there was a brief period in the 1990s when Brazilian promotions not only featured the biggest Brazilian stars, but also drew in the top fighters from America:
Promotions like the World Vale Tudo Championship, the International Vale Tudo Championship, and Universal Vale Tudo Fighting sprang up and put on many shows featuring top Brazilians and American fighters including UFC vets Dan Severn, Oleg Taktarov, Gary Goodridge, Steve Jennum and Pat Smith as well as top wrestlers (and future UFC and PRIDE fighters) like Dan Henderson, Kevin Randleman, Tom Erikson, and Mike Van Arsdale.
This golden age of Brazilian MMA reached a climax in 1997 with the ill-fated Pentagon Combat event. Funded by an Arabian sheik, it brought tops stars from around the world, and brought the old jiu jitsu vs luta livre feud to a crescendo.
Gracie Magazine has a write up on the Pentagon Combat event, a lavish, well-funded event that featured multiple UFC stars as well as Renzo Gracie and top representatives of Luta Livre, jiu jitsu's bitter rival. Unfortunately, the facility housing the event had non-existent security and hundreds of people crashed the gate.
This ended in disaster during the headlining bout between Gracie and Eugenio Tadeu when a riot broke out in the middle of the bout and enraged fans entered the cage.
With that riot, any potential for a commercially viable, socially accepted major-league MMA scene in Brazil took a long dirt nap.
One of the ironies of MMA history is the fact that while vale tudo was invented in Brazil as a more extreme extension of the kinds of challenge matches that were popular in North America around the turn of the twentieth century, it remained strictly an underground event, never attaining mainstream status. Periodic TV coverage of big fights in the 1950s, 1970s and early 1990s never resulted in anything resembling a sustained popularity for the sport, largely because the fighters didn't have a professional, sporting attitude and treated other fighters and camps as enemies rather than rivals.
Brazil is beginning to emerge as a regional economic leader, finally showing signs of realizing its immense economic potential. The timing couldn't be better for MMA promoters to get on good terms with the local governments in Brazil.

Report: Qatar to invest up to $10B in Egypt
CAIRO - CAIRO (AP) - Qatar is looking at pumping up to $10 billion through investments and projects into Egypt, the Gulf emirate's ambassador was quoted as saying Tuesday, offering new hope to an economy ravaged by the unrest that ousted former President Hosni Mubarak.
A meeting slated for Saturday between Qatari and Egyptian officials, at which joint projects are expected to be signed, comes at a crucial time for the military rulers in Cairo.
Months of protests that built on the unrest that toppled Mubarak in February have crushed the vital tourism sector, slashing foreign investments in the nation and roughly halved manufacturing and exports, according to Egyptian officials. Meanwhile, the deficit is expected to widen sharply and Egypt has said it will need between $10 to $12 billion for the fiscal year that begins in July to cover its mounting expenses.
The meeting builds on earlier reciprocal visits by Qatar's emir and Egypt's prime minister and is part of an outreach effort by the Cairo government to tap the oil rich Gulf Arab governments for help, as well as others in the international community.
Explaining his country's decision to fund projects and pump investments into Egypt, Qatar's ambassador in Cairo, Saleh Abul-Enein, said he believed it was necessary to support the North African nation in the coming period as it grapples with the "burdens it inherited from the previous regime." In an interview with the state-run daily newspaper, Al-Ahram, he said that the projects to be signed were ones discussed between Qatar's emir and Egypt's military rulers.
"I believe these projects, when implemented, will exceed $10 billion, God willing, and will be productive investments in Egypt," Abul-Enein said, adding that Qatar has begun laying out the "broad plan" for this cooperation.
The investment would be the latest offer of aid for Egypt as the military rulers and the interim civilian government face an impasse of sorts. Protesters are demanding pay hikes and better services - all of which cost cash the government can't spare given that the unrest has slashed manufacturing and productivity, driving economic growth forecasts for the current fiscal year to as low as 1 percent. Pre-revolution estimates had seen GDP growth at around 5.8 percent for the fiscal year ending June 30.
Already, the United States and Saudi Arabia have stepped up with billions of dollars in aid and investments, while Egyptian officials said they are nearing a deal with the World Bank for a $2.2 billion loan. Officials have also reached out to the International Monetary Fund and are to attend the upcoming Group of Eight industrialized nations meeting in Paris.
The focus on the part of the government is on reactivating the engine for growth. Officials are pushing infrastructure projects because they hold some of the best potential for job creation, as well as a trickle down effect in other sectors.

From Mrs J. Moore, Totland Bay:
For once I agree with Charlotte Hofton — only praise should be given to the men working for Island Roads, especially at Bouldner, who have worked in atrocious weather conditions since the start of the work there (Weekender, 14-03-14).
The sooner the work is finished, the sooner things can get back to normal for the traffic and residents alike. Regarding the photographs of empty car parks in Yarmouth — they are like that every year during the winter months. I was in Yarmouth yesterday and there were six or seven coaches in the bus station — tourists visiting the town.
And now we have the fishermen moaning about tidal energy.
An absolute must in an area like this — two tides per day with flood and ebb generating power each time, out of sight —unlike windmills that rely on wind which is not readily available every day of the week as are the tides.
However, the location of these turbines should be discussed further and moved if necessary to preserve our fishing industry.

raps Government
THE CATHOLIC Building Society has criticised the Government's removal of relief on life assurance premiums.
Speaking at the Society's annual general meeting in London, the Lady Chairman, the Hon. Mrs. Nona Byrne said the CBS had planned two new investments, the Catholic Family Bond and Family Share.
'An average of ten accounts per week were being opened when both the Bond and the Family Share fell victims to a most arbitrary and controversial Budget decision by the Government. The removal, without consultation, of life assurance premium relief which had existed for over 150 years was a severe blow to genuine users of long term life assurance. All have been penalised for the sake of a few fringe operations which were abusine the system'. she said.
Announcing a 27 per cent increase in home loans, she noted that it was the 16th year of unbroken rises in the amount of home loans made available. "Yet not a single mortgage loss has occurred in our 24 years existence" she said.
The society announced the introduction of a new high interest "Jubilee" bond to launch its Jubilee year, which begins on September 1.
The 1983 annual report showed: • A rise in total assets to £7,648.000.
.40 per cent of new loans made to women — believed to be a higher proportion than any other society — and 10 per cent of all home loans to widows or deserted wives.

This is an unusually good documentary about an outlandish miscarriage of justice. On an April night in 1989, Trisha Meili was beaten, raped and left for dead not far from a path in Manhattan's Central Park. Five boys between the ages of 14 and 16 signed confessions regarding the attack, which was the worst of several criminal incidents unfolding in the area that night. -- Michael Phillips

May 2 - All May long, SFPL is having a Michael Moore-a-thon during Thursdays @ Noon!
Bowling For Columbine
(2002, 120 minutes)
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore goes behind the camera again to take on the timely issue of gun violence in America. Moore uses his thought-provoking yet scathingly funny style to address why so many Americans own guns and more importantly why so many people use them on each other. As the title indicates, the film uses the Columbine High School shootings as a launching pad and then goes on to explore where gun ownership and gun violence affects every state in the country.

Mistakes are a no-no, even a taboo.
That is unfortunate because they are very important and necessary.
Without mistakes you cannot be in touch with and claim your own power.
Embracing mistakes is a important if you want to come into your own as an HSP.
The Hidden Benefit Of Mistakes
According to Robert Fritz, author of the Path of Least Resistance and Creating, the creative process can be divided into three large phases:
- the idea or germination
- the development of the idea from concept to completion
- releasing the result
Although we can make mistakes at any time and step of the process, mistakes are most valuable when we are in the development phase.
Mistakes are an important part of the trial and error process that lets us engage with an idea and reality.
They tell us when something is not working so that we can consider what to change.
It is through mistakes not only that we learn, but also that we develop mastery over a subject.
Mistakes are our path to our power and effectiveness in the world.
How Mistakes Can Seem Like A Bad Idea
Mistakes can seem like a bad idea, particularly to highly sensitive people.
We do not like the negative feedback and we feel terrible when we have done harm to others.
Our natural gifts can make it difficult for us to want to take any chances. Since we are often misperceived and misunderstood and our insights dismissed, it can seem as if we are taking big risks whenever we move forward.
The Baggage Of Mistakes
There are many misconceptions about mistakes that can create problems for us:
- mistakes are a matter of life and death. For early humans, mistakes may indeed have been a matter of life and death. However, those days are long gone and we can lighten up about mistakes. Most mistakes may create some inconvenience and even some loss but are rarely life threatening.
- mistakes are a sign of stupidity. Mistakes have been equated with lower intelligence as far back as I can remember. However, mistakes are inevitable when we are venturing to create something new, or learn a new skill.
- mistakes are a sign of weakness. Making mistakes can actually be a sign of strength since it takes courage to be willing to learn something new.
- mistakes are a sign of bad character. What an old saw this is! Character assassination is a favorite method of attacking people who take risks. Mistakes are not a sign of bad character. They are a sign of a learning process under way.
- mistakes are a sign we do not care. Making mistakes, if we are trying to learn can be a sign of great caring. Sticking your neck out to learn takes courage which is usually a sign of caring.
Embracing Intelligent Risk Taking
The easiest way to move forward in life, embrace your personal growth and learn is to embrace intelligent risk taking.
Not all risk taking is equal. You can make unnecessary mistakes by taking on to much at once, always flying by the seat of your pants, flying blind without conducting any research and generally making a mess.
Or you can take a wiser approach.
A Process For Intelligent Risk Taking
In order to take intelligent risks, you have to have in your mind a process that can make risk taking an important and valuable part of what you are doing. You need to create a process that you have confidence in.
Here is one that is a start:
- identify what you want to do.
- break it down into steps. This prevents you from getting in over your head and makes it easier to identify where you want to make corrections and why.
- research what is needed to do what you want to do. Understanding the skills, tools and other requirements will make it easier for you to take an intelligent risk.
- obtain whatever resources you need. D not skimp on time, materials, education or any other resource you need.
- pause to evaluate your progress frequently. It will help you avoid the most egregious and costly errors.
- once you are comfortable with your preparation, engage wholeheartedly in accomplishing what you want.
Often the difference between effective and ineffective risk taking is a matter of preparation.
Benefiting From Taking Risks
Highly sensitive people are extremely conscientious and caring people. Often the result, however, is that HSPs back away from taking risks when they d not have to.
Taking intelligent risks and using their conscientiousness and caring to embrace intelligent risk taking can make a big difference not only in being successful but also enjoying growing a learning.
HSPs have much to offer, so when we take risks, everyone often benefits.
It is worth sticking our toes in the water. We may find that it is warm and inviting.

Hazardous road conditions cause multiple crashes
SAN ANGELO, Texas - More than a dozen traffic crashes in the past few hours have police and emergency workers busy on icy roadways in San Angelo and around the county.
"There are almost invisible sheets of ice out there," said dispatch officer Sharilyn Parr between emergency calls. "It's extremely dangerous to drive for the rest of the night. If you don't have to go somewhere, we are asking people to please stay home."
The hot spots for crashes have been the elevated northwest section of Loop 306, from Arden Road to Sherwood Way, where two rollovers were reported this afternoon.
There also have been multiple crashes on U.S. Highway 67 to Ballinger and U.S. Highway 87 toward Grape Creek and Carlsbad, Parr said.
Up to 1 inch of snow was reported in various parts of the Concho Valley, with San Angelo getting half an inch. The snow turned to freezing rain in the late afternoon, with temperatures diving below freezing, and roads becoming hazardous.
City crews are out sanding the bridges, Parr said.
No fatalities or serious injuries were reported.
