For Your Consideration: Regulations and Taxes
- Details
- Published on Friday, 15 June 2012 20:59
- Written by Super User
By CHARLIE ALLO
Contributing Writer
One would be hard pressed to defend the position that government does not need any regulations or to levy any taxes, but it would be fair to question the number of regulations and the rationale behind the policies; the same criteria can be employed to the evaluation of taxes that are heaped upon the public.
It has been suggested that there is not a parson that has not violated a regulation that is in effect today; not because the act was intentional, but because the number and variety of regulations are so massive.
Add to this that many of these regulations are left up to the interpretation of a bureaucrat that is responsible for the enforcement of the policy in question.
What makes this dilemma even more problematic is the fact that the massive amount of legislation can be found at all levels of government; often these policies can be in conflict with other legislation from a higher authorities.
One often finds that some of these regulations are not based on constitutional grounds; this fact is not brought to light because it's too difficult and costly to process the policy in question through the legal system.
Taxes, and all the diverse terms used to supplement taxes, have many of the same shortcomings found in the regulation system.
The government has become very adept at directing much of our attention away from the various charges levied on the populace under a variety of other terms. Many people think of property taxes, state taxes, or Federal Income tax when they hear the term tax, but in truth these taxes are just a small part of the money that is extracted from the citizen.
The justification for these additional taxes is not always clear, and in many cases little thought is given to the fairness of these taxes as it relates to their intended purpose.
Then when the taxes have been collected they are viewed as fungible, and are applied to activities other than the activity they were created for.
All these shortcomings are directly related to the economic problems the Nation is currently facing; the system is destroying itself and our elected representatives don't seem to be able to grasp this fact.
The inability of government to grasp the harm it is doing is one good reason to limit government's size and its authority to levy taxes.
The concept of getting back to the basic principles that are imbedded in the U.S. Constitution is something many citizens are finding more appealing given the trends that appear to be developing in our governmental system.
One would have to conclude that the government is very proficient at collecting taxes and turning out massive quantities of regulations, but it fails to manage the funds that it collects in a responsible manner, and its regulations are far from concise. It should be realized that man is far from being perfect, but this fact should not be an excuse to be totally illogical and irresponsible; one's education should not stop at the eighth grade level.
It is inconceivable that our representatives lack the education necessary to resolve many of the Nation's problems, so one can only conclude their real intent is not to serve the people they were elected to represent, which this suggests that they are in government to serve their own needs.
The electorate will have to wake up to the fact that the game being played by all participants is going to destroy the Nation, and only a very small portion of the population is going to benefit as a result of its collapse.
A person's destiny needs to be in the individual's hands and not that of the government's. The concept that is being sold that all products need to be shared equally has never worked, and it will not work in today's world.

Friends, Bulldogs, Countrymen - lend me your reputations.
I haven't one, but I do have a tremendous concern for college athletics and what it means to be a student who is also an athlete. With all the recent news for players being paid and receiving improper benefits, I've read many articles being sympathetic to those who knowingly broke rules, arguing that they should have been paid in the first place. That notion is becoming louder and ever more popular. It frightens me because it will merely further the moneyed corruption of college athletics. It disgusts me because weighs money heavier than virtue in college athletics and academics. It makes me question humanity because so few see anything wrong with it.
I, on the other hand, believe and expect that universities should be places that foster excellence and virtue. If you are frightened along side me, if you too believe in excellences like integrity and honor, stand up (or sit down) and let it be known. We cannot let such opinions go unchallenged. Some of you are great writers with good reputations. I implore you to use them, or in the very least convince me I'm overly worried.

ANDERSON — Steven Perry never really got to know Wendell Crumes, but few people have made a greater impact on his life.
Crumes, a 1947 Indiana Golden Gloves champion, trained Madison County Prosecutor Rodney Cummings in the sweet science. And Cummings, a 1978 Indiana Golden Gloves champion, in turn trained Perry.
Perry is a two-time Golden Gloves open division champion and six-time Golden Gloves champion overall. He's also won seven other state titles through various affiliations.
But the accomplishment Cummings is most proud of — and the one that most likely would have had Crumes beaming, too — is Perry's status as a sophomore this fall at Anderson University.
"Steven was not quite going in the right direction," Cummings said of the kid he first met 10 years ago at South Side Middle School. "He was struggling in school, and I'm not quite sure he had any idea where his life was headed. And the boxing program has given him a way to focus his discipline and dedication, and he's had some significant success since then."
Perry is a member of the National Guard and has been ranked as high as No. 7 in the nation. His goal is to represent the United States at the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil and after that embark on a professional career.
For now, however, he's the star attraction at the Crumes Boxing Club — a converted storage room at the Geater Center that now houses the old ring from the Police Athletic League and was dedicated in Crumes' honor Friday.
The room is a labor of love for Geater Center director Stephon Blackwell, with the support of Mayor Kevin Smith and the Parks Board. Blackwell repeatedly was told boxing couldn't be done at the Geater Center. There wasn't room. There wasn't equipment. And there weren't any trainers.

While reading stuff posted by others about AppStream, and because of the discussion happening about AppData on kde-core-devel right now, I feel the need to clarify a few things. Especially because some are implementing AppStream in a way which is not really ideal right now. This is to some extend my fault, because I should have communicated this in a much more visible way.
To those people who don't know it already: AppStream is a Freedesktop project aiming at providing basic building blocks to create distro- and desktop-agnostic software centers.
So, let's answer some questions about AppStream!
No, not at all! It was originally created by people from at least 4 different distributions, and I took great care of it not becoming specific to any desktop or distribution. GNOME just happened to go ahead and implement the specs, which was absolutely necessary, since there was less progress in implementing AppStream for a long time.
AppStream is a bunch of things, so I will only focus on what we have specified right now and what is working.
Basically, the distributor compiles a list of applications available in the repositories, and makes it available in some defined directories on the system. AppStream defines an XML specification for that, but since some peple don't want to use it or can't use it, there are also others ways to publish AppStream application data. For example, Debian will likely use YAML for that.
This data is taked by the AppStream software (running as a PackageKit plugin) and transformed into a Xapian database. This database is then in turn used by software-centers, in combination with PackageKit, to present applications.
This is the reason why it is bad to use the XML data directly – it might not be available on every distribution. The Xapian database is what matters. The database can be accessed using libappstream, a GLib based library (so far, there was no need for a Qt version).
The libappsream stuff was under heavy construction, and GNOME wanted to be fast and ship the stuff with Fedora in their next release. They'll likely switch to the Xapian db soon, or offer it as backend.
Yes, Apper can utilize it, see one of my previous blogposts.
AppData is an initiative started by Richard Hughes in order to enhance the quality of applications descriptions shipped with AppStream. It defines a small file $appname.appdata.xml, which describes the application, sets screenshots etc. These files can be parsed at the distribution's side in order to enhance the app metadata. They can also be translated upstream.
AppData might be merged into the XDG AppStream pages later, but that is to be discussed.
No, nobody is forced However, the GNOME Software application-center prefers applications shipping more metadata, and "punishes" the others, so shipping an AppData file makes sense for higher lising in GS. This is a policy decision by GNOME, KDE can make it's own ones here.
Shipping AppData files makes sense, in general, because it enhances the metadata distributed with your application. It is also the file-format used by Listaller (well, a superset of it) in order to generate cross-distro app-packages, so you might want to consider adding one.
Yes, you can find them on the AppData specification page. However, these are more recommendations than "forced", and it is currently aimed at GNOME apps. I later want to generalize that and create an own page with recommendations for KDE (martin had some good ideas already).
The screenshots are defined in AppData files, and the cached by the distributor. If there are no "official" screenshots, user-provided screenshots will be taken, using a screenshots-service with screenshots.d.n-like API.
The official AppStream spec, the thing which distributors should implement, can be found on Freedesktop.
The AppData spec can be found here. It also includes some nice hints on how to handle screenshots etc. and includes it's own FAQ.
The source code can be found on Gitorious, releases are available on fd.o software. Contributions to the code are welcome!
Great! Please get in contact with me or Richard. The only feature we would not consider for the official standard is desktop/distro-specific stuff (which should be obvious ).
I will extend this FAQ, if I feel the need for it, so this article might change a bit.
Tags: appstream, gnome, kde, listaller, packagekit, xdg
After reading the thread on kcd I'm really glad that this whole topic is not relevant to me
May I suggest that you forward this to : email@example.com too (unless there's a more specific appstream list) ?
Soon GNOME will be doing more than punishing programs that don't have AppData:
"in GNOME 3.14 we're not going to be showing them [applications that don't ship AppData] at all"
from http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2013/11/01/upstream-adoption-of-appdata-so-far/ .
However as you said KDE can have its own policy – it's not dictated by AppStream.
Most of the independent (non-desktop-inbuilt) applications adopt this spec in a very simple (I'd say barbaric) way. They just put *.appdata.xml in the corresponding folders.
Blender, Audacity, Scilab, PSPP… That's only the projects that I'm aware of.
And that's not because they are bad. This system was not thought to be translatable from the beginning. And please do not say that everybody should adopt intltool or itstool. These are mostly Gnome-centric tools not suitable for every project build system. To be honest, they only work for autotools. Richard knows this and sends such untranslatable files to the projects like Blender.
I'm not happy with the current situation with package descriptions translations but, forgive me, this is just another untranslatable crap crawling into the distros for the years to come. At least in the current form.

Children's Academy Ground Breaking
September 22, 2011
Local community members were joined by 11 members of major partner Calvary Church, a team from Architecture For Humanity, plus friends from; Haiti's Ministry of Planning, Hertz, Haiti Allies, and from several Haiti Partners partner schools including CSCS.
It was a beautiful clear day and during the 30 minute ceremony we heard from special advisory to Children's Academy Mèt Antenor (longtime friend and neighbor and a school principal for more than 20 years), a mother of a child that will attend Children's Academy, a 14 year old young leader, and Joyce Johnson, Mission Director of Calvary Church. We also of-course heard from WOZO choir, which is made up of children in the surrounding neighborhoods.
The Children's Academy and training center is a big vision. We invite you and your church or organization to partner with us in realizing it. Click here to download 2-page Children's Academy description.

New exhibit opening in Oceanside reveals the life and art of Francoise Gilot
By Lonnie Burstein Hewitt
On June 12, the Oceanside Museum of Art will open "Transitions," an exhibition of Francoise Gilot's work that connects the transitions in her life with the evolution of her artistic style. Almost everyone who recognizes the name "Francoise Gilot" will immediately think of her connection to Pablo Picasso, though locals will surely remember her as the artist wife of scientist Jonas Salk.
But Gilot, who turns 90 this year, has had a rich and varied life all her own.
The strong-willed daughter of a strong-willed father and a mother who was an accomplished watercolorist, she set her course early in life, saying she wanted to be a painter the way some children say they want to be a fireman. She went to law school to please her father, but even the tragic events of World War II could not make her give up her art. She was already an up-and-coming painter in 1943, when she had her first exhibition in Paris and met Picasso. He was 61, her grandmother's age.
"Our relationship was basically about painting," she said in a 1998 interview.
The relationship lasted 10 years and produced two children. After Picasso, she married a younger, less celebrated artist: that briefer union produced another daughter. In 1961, she started coming to the United States, adding a New York studio to the ones she maintained in Paris and London. By the mid-1960s, she had written "Life With Picasso" and had her first New York solo show.
In 1969, following an exhibition in Los Angeles, she came down to La Jolla to visit her friends, Chantal and John Hunt (he was executive vice-president of the Salk Institute) and they introduced her to Jonas Salk. The two formed a bond that lasted a quarter-century, until Salk's death in 1995.
Gilot went back to New York, and her easel. Work, as always, was the thing that sustained her. In her long, often complicated life, she has managed to produce some 1,500 oil paintings and 5,000 works on paper.
"I am a painter," she said. "And a painter paints."
An exhibition of Gilot's work, "Transitions," curated by Mel Yoakum (director of F. Gilot Archives since 1987) opens June 12 at the Oceanside Museum of Art.
"I know her work better than anyone," Yoakum said. "I've archived every single piece! And her paintings are visual manifestations of her biography."
"Transitions" features 40 pieces, ranging from the 1960s into the current millennium.
"We're deliberately not starting with the Picasso years," said Yoakum. "We're starting with a period that that was really transformative for her, where she moved between abstraction and figuration, coalescing all her earlier inspirations. In the '60s, you can see everything coming together, the first visual fulfillment of her style. And then she moves forward from there, continuing to explore, evolve, and simplify, learning to evoke the same emotions with fewer brushstrokes."
Sailboats, windows and birds abound in Gilot's abstract paintings, clear symbols of moving on, taking flight, new openings, freedom.
"Her paintings are like windows, because of her ability with color and composition," Yoakum said. "There's such depth to each piece, so many wonderful things to discover, if you forget about her personal relationships and just allow yourself to experience the painting."
Gilot once wrote, "My art is a song against fear."
Still active in her New York and Paris studios, she is exhibiting in New Orleans and Europe this year. In Oceanside, much closer to home, you can see her fearless artworks for yourself.
If you go
What: "Transitions: The Work of Francoise Gilot"
When: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday; 1-4 p.m. Sunday. Closed Mondays, June 12-Nov. 13

I started learning how to use a Digital Audio Workstation in 2003, and I have been perfecting my creativity in the field of music ever since. I first worked with Propellerhead Reason, and after a few years I also learned to use Steinberg Cubase. Later on I took up learning Ableton Live, in order to be more versatile in composing music. All this time I also employed Adobe Audition for audio editing and restoration purposes.
My journey in this realm provided me with invaluable insight on production and post-production techniques. I got to explore the depths of my creativity, to the extent that now I am capable of composing music to convey virtually any specific emotion. Besides the creative part, I also gained priceless post-production abilities which enable me to alter and enhance any type of recorded audio content.
The idea of creating an entity which would encompass all these abilities had been lying somewhere for quite a while. When it finally surfaced, I was already working as a freelance audio designer, so Alchemy Audio Design was designed as a platform which would make my services more accessible to the people interested.

Cumberbatch is playing . . .
Time to cast your vote old school Trek09 folks. Just saw the trailer, and why not very classic Trek, I am curious who Cumberbatch is playing.
I am voting he is playing an entirely new character.
Either he is Khan who somehow got into Starfleet or he is Gary Mitchell. Obviously this guess is based upon the writer's claim that he is an iconic TOS character which could very well be a lie.
Furthermore I guess that his character will be altered slightly, probably roughly as much as Kirk. I also think that there is a decent chance that the character will be as interesting as Cochrane in FC and not, like in the previous movie, merely a cheap way to hedge themselves against dislike from old-school fans with massive fan-wank.
I nonetheless maintain my basic criticism of Trek being not bold enough to go where no one has gone before, a structural issue that might not even be solved by the next series.
Sam Kirk, a Changeling, youngified Cochrane who is angry about Starfleet messing up nacelle designs...
Not Gary Mitchell. He wouldn't need weapons.
Looking at the poster for the film you can see Benedict Cumberbatch and make out at least three London landmarks: 1 The Gherkin, 2. St Paul's Cathedral and 3. the London Eye.
I assumed initially that they had just been thrown in there to tell you it is London, but using Google Earth I have found that they are near enough correct in scale relative to their real-world positions to each other.
And that vantage point in London is near-enough in line with the building used as the headquarters of the secret organisation dealing in extra terrestrial matters known as "Torchwood" in Doctor Who (2006 series).
These are the relevant buildings in Google Maps: A being Torchwood Tower, and the other three are the buildings seen in the poster
So, at this point my current theory is this:
'Secret organisation Torchwood captures and clones brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes, and due to the collapse of Torchwood in mysterious circumstances the clone is not activated until the 23rd century. Confused, angry, and possessed of a vast intellect, he tries to bring order and sense to this new world. Only one person can stop him. His name? Spock.'
Benedict Cumberbatch's character even says "I have returned."
I think he's probably playing some Solitaire partaking of a light snack before a good night's sleep
Strange this is, there's no London in the teaser, it's all about San Fran again XD
The bit where it looks like the Enterprise is falling in looks like the bay, but the one with the nacelled shuttle emerging looks like a London shot.
Lots of water in this film.
I'm unclear about the role London may play (I didn't spot anything overly London like in the teaser though 30 St Mary Axe aka The Gherkin is quite visible in the poster) in the film other than perhaps being another location attacked at some point. The opening Cityscape appears to be San Francisco as that's consistent with the skyline in the first film.
I also thought I saw the TransAmerica Pyramid during it and that looks like the Bay bridge in the background which would seem right from my memories of being in San Francisco.
The starship plunging into a bay (anyone else think it looked a bit like the outline of an NX Class vessel?) also looks like San Francisco again because of the general look of the background so my suspicion is that most of the city material in the teaser appears to be that city. Which would make sense if the villain is assaulting Starfleet and it's heart.
Of course, if it's Mitchell and he has vastly increased psi powers then that could explain how he might have the ability to bring down starships and 'detonate the fleet' which remains a phrase the exact meaning of which is unclear since why would the E escape his abilities in that way.
I also think the ship emerging from a sea could be the Enterprise. While you just see nacelles and the emergence of the letters NCC I think you can also see briefly a saucer begin to emerge as well.

The federal government has finally gotten the green light to use a state-of-the art prison that has stood empty for more than a decade.
The Thomson Correctional Facility, located in Thomson, just south of Savana, has been empty since it was built in 2001.
The 1,600 bed, maximum-security facility has never been used because there have never been enough funds to pay for the operations.
Finally, the Department of Justice approved a $165-million request for the federal government to acquire the empty prison.
State officials say this will create more than a thousand jobs, and federal officials say it will ease overcrowding.
Governor Pat Quinn says money from the sale of the Thomson Correctional Center should be used to pay off the prison's bond debt and the state's stack of unpaid bills.
Strange formation at bottom of Utah irrigation pond baffles farmers and scientists. John Hollenhorst reports.

3.53/5 rDev -1.4%
Served in a pint glass.
Appearance: Dark, nearly opaque, reddish brown body with short, loose, frothy, tan head. Looks quite thick. Looks kinda like a brown ale; seems too dark for a red. Decent retention. Not much lacing to speak of. Still looks pretty tasty.
Smell: Not getting much of anything in the beginning. Some toasted malt aromas and faint caramel. As it warms, caramel comes on stronger and orange and pine notes join the mix. Overall, pretty bland and faint, but there's still nothing bad about it. EDIT: Got a lot of herbal hops in the nose the second time around. EDIT: Third time around, smelled like nothing. Even after it warmed up it had almost no scent.
Taste: Roasted malt / toasted bread form the backbone. Also getting caramel and pine. Mild hops come in for the clean-up. Once again, kinda bland. EDIT: Got a lot of herbal hops and chocolate the second time around. rhertan was convinced that I had had a bad pour the first time around, and indeed this time it was much better.
Mouthfeel: Well-carbonated and smooth. Medium in body, chewy, and somewhat crisp.
Drinkability: Really wish there was some added sweetness and or bitterness in this one. This beer just doesn't go anywhere. I could drink this again, but why? There's nothing bad about it, but there ain't much good either.

Poured a deep red color with a small white head. Carbonation was good. Nose is malty, sweet and you could smell the hops in this beer. Bready as well. The taste followed the nose pretty damn close. It was a well balanced, tasty and chewy beer. Not a fan of this style but it was good.

Select Route:
This is one of the nicer easy routes I've done in Sedona and probably a pretty good one for a maiden climbing experience here. From the ridge on the approach, follow your nose west along the ridge to the east side of Queen Vic where the route is located.
Standard rack selection, nuts and cams. Take two ropes. I have a friend who says he made the raps with a single 60m rope. Some downclimbing might be necessary if you go that way.
Rappel 100 feet from summit to a pair of bolts on the edge of the limestone (this anchor is located to the northwest of where you climb the wide crack). Then rappel another 100 feet to the base of the east side of the formation. Note: This descent CAN be made with a single 60m rope, but you should take note of the ends of your rope at all times!!! The bottom rappel will involve downclimbing some easy terrain to flat ground, so DO NOT rap off the end of your rope!!!

Many of those wanting to unseat one U.S. senator had just as much criticism for his Tennessee counterpart at a first of its kind event Saturday in Nashville.
It was the kickoff for a series of statewide forums sponsor by a group called BEAT LAMAR and several Tea Party organizations aimed at "vetting" Republican challengers to Senator Lamar Alexander, but fellow U.S. Senator Bob Corker drew plenty of ire as well.
"First of all they won't sign [Utah] Senator Lee's letter to de fund Obamacare, second they voted for illegal immigrants giving them free access to make them citizens," said Jeff Howe of Wilson County who was among an estimated 275 people at the event held at the Music City Sheraton.
"In every state around Tennessee both U.S. senators voted against the immigration bill, and in Tennessee both senators voted for it," said Jenny Hassell of Brentwood. "I am for a BEAT Bob PAC as well," she added about Sen. Corker.
A sea of red T-shirts, posters, yard signs and even door hangers proclaiming BEAT LAMAR filled the ballroom where one declared candidate and one potential candidate spoke and answered questions from the crowd.
At the entrance, attendees passed by small replica of rhinoceros.
It was a not so subtle reference to both senators being thought of as a "RINO" which is an acronym for Republican-in-name-only.
State Representative Joe Carr of Rutherford County announced his run last week. He told News 2, "We are allowing the conservatives across the state of Tennessee to gather around a single candidate and participate in that process."
Former Williamson County Republican Party Chair Kevin Kookogey would not say if he planned to run but said the forums could actually end up endorsing two conservative candidates for the Republican Primary next August.
"The BEAT LAMAR organization is doing this in association with this coalition of Tea Parties, so there is actually an outcome where it could be divided or it could be united," Kookogey told News 2.
The forums continue next Saturday in Memphis.
Knoxville graduate student and business woman Brenda Lenard was scheduled to be the event, but did not attend.
Senator Alexander served two terms as Tennessee governor from 1979-1987 and ran twice for president in 1996 and 2000 before being elected to the Senate in 2002.
A spokesperson for his campaign has said Alexander is "focused on being the best Senator he can be for Tennessee."

News: Black Rob Stands By Bad Boy Amid Uncertainty, "I Haven't Heard From Anyone Telling Me The Deal"
Monday, Jan 5, 2009 11:41PM
Longtime Bad Boy artist Black Rob recently spoke about his standing with Diddy's renowned label, from behind bars.
In an interview with XXLmag, the "Whoa" rap slinger debunked rumors claiming he was reportedly dropped from Diddy's record company.
"I haven't heard from these dudes, they might've took me off the Bad Boy website or whatever but I haven't heard from anyone telling me what the deal is. So until I get a piece of paper saying that I'm no longer a Bad Boy artist, I'm still reppin' that flag. I'm a team player man."
MTV previously reported the Harlem-based emcee was serving time after being arrested in 2004 for theft.
The rapper, whose real name is Robert Ross, was arrested at 11:45 a.m. at the On the Ave Hotel for entering and remaining in a hotel room, and removing jewelry from the room without authority, according to a police spokesperson. Ross's accomplice, Damien Ashmeade, was arrested at 3:50 p.m.
Shortly after the incident, Rob later confessed to the crime, according to Billboard.
The rapper pleaded guilty to criminal possession of stolen property last November and was sentenced to 2 - 6 years in jail. Although he was free on bail, Ross never reported for sentencing in January and was eventually arrested in February in New Jersey.
Rob's rise to fame came on the heels of his smash 1999 hit "Whoa" and lacing vocals on numerous Bad Boy tracks including "Let's Get It." However, Allmusic traces his roots back to the earlier times.
Bad Boy rapper Black Rob began his recording career appearing on albums like the Cru's Da Dirty 30 and collaborating with artists like L.O.X., Busta Rhymes, Lil' Kim, and Total before releasing his first album, Life Story, in early 2000.
No information has yet been released on when Rob will be released from prison.

10 Healthy Ideas for a Lean Barbecue Season
Healthy Barbecue Tip No. 10: Just say no to processed meat.
The AICR report recommends limiting your consumption of cooked red meat to no more than 18 ounces per week (the equivalent of about 6 quarter-pound hamburgers). Things get more dismal for processed meats. When the AICR did an analysis of the available evidence, it found that every 3.5 ounces of processed meat eaten per day increased the risk for colorectal cancer by 42%. Processed meats include hot dogs, sausages, bacon, ham, and cold cuts, among others.

I suggested before that we needed a weekly random thread and I still think we do. Many of us share a lot of common interests. For instance, some of us watch movies. The Hunger Games has been mentioned quite a bit here lately. I still haven't seen it yet though. Maybe you are like Special Brownie and saw a car you've been thinking about all week. Post a pic. Could you be a huge fan of Game of Thrones like many of us? Talk about the season premiere. I thought it was pretty fantastic. Maybe you are part of the "Fearsome Foursome" (or is it still three) and want to talk about Golf or some other un-related sport like Curling or the Caber toss. You might be overseas like Brownsbacker488 and want to share an experience. We all have one thing in common, let's see what else we have in common. I know this is no "Tuesday Night Dinner" but for the sake of remembering that, I had Cheerios with a banana because it's good for me and I didn't want leftover spaghetti.
Word of the week:
PER'EMPTORILY, adv. [from peremptory.] Absolutely; positively; in a decisive manner; so as to preclude further debate.
Never judge peremptorily on first appearances.

Adam Ant (born Stuart Leslie Goddard, 3 November, 1954, Marylebone, London) is an English musician who gained popularity as the lead singer of New Wave/post-punk group Adam and the Ants and later as a solo artist, scoring ten UK top ten hits between 1980 and 1983, including three No.1s. Ant was also a star in America where he not only scored a string of hit singles and albums, but was once voted sexiest man in America by the viewers of MTV. He is also an actor, having appeared in over two dozen films or television episodes between 1985 and 2003.[1]
Since 2010, Ant has undertaken a major reactivation of his musical career, performing live regularly in his hometown London and beyond, recording a new album and with two full-length UK national tours now completed[2][3][4] and a US national tour now scheduled. His present comeback continues and thrives despite concerns about such activities being merely another symptom of the mental health issues which were in considerable part responsible for his lengthy spell of near-inactivity spanning the late 1990s and 2000s.[5][6][7]

Unhappy campers are having to cut their stay short at Lake Wright Patman near Texarkana, thanks to the government shutdown.
Wayne Johntson is one of those unhappy campers. "I think it is a bunch of crap. All of a sudden they come out here and tell you got to leave."
"I think it is ridiculous because a bunch of us come out here to try and stay a little while," says Clyde Harper, another camper told to leave Tuesday. "As of 8 o'clock tonight, they are shutting the park down so we had to get our stuff and get going," says Randell Erwin.
Erwinn, from Foreman, says he doesn't think they need to shut it down. "it is just a bunch of hard heads not getting together on stuff."
"We hate it we hate that this is happening, but we have got to do what we have to do," says Mike Bransford with the Corps of Enginees and manager of the park. He says there are nearly 400 campsites at Lake Wright Patman, and all will have to be vacated because the staff - both government and contract - can not be paid during the shutdown.
The Corps of Engineers says campers will be reimbursed for reservation days cut short. They say all other reservations will be honored after an agreement is reached on the federal budget.

Number of ratings 58 / Average Grade: A Submit a correction
Inconsistent in grading. Doesn't even read some of your work and then is hyper-critical in others. Provides no explanation or examples. She just reads off her powerpoints, which don't help. Can be very rude. Be prepared to teach yourself. Worst educational experience ever!
She is a good professor. She is very specific about how she wants assignments. The good thing is she explains clearly what she wants and is usually available after class to help. She knows a lot about the subject and you will learn in this class.
Robins is awesome, for sure taking her again. The class is intense but you learn, if you want an easy dont take her, but if you want to work for your A and actually learn something then Robins is the professor for you!
Dr. Robbins standards are very high. An A in her class is very possible.... but you'll have to work for it. She is very fair and approachable. If you want to be TRULY PREPARED for your student internship take her. Slackers will not make it through this class.
Robbins is an amazing professor. If you are lazy and want an easy A, don't take this course. She expects full effort and dedication in order to pass. She challenges students to do more than other professors, which is helping to create QUALITY future teachers. Extremely stressful and time consuming but you will be grateful at the end.
This class consists of a TON of work. You do not know what stress is until you take this class. Teacher is clear on exactly what she expects and is always willing to answer any questions. Do not be afraid to ask. Grades us depending on whether or not she sees progress in our work throughout the semester. Make the effort and you will succeed!
She is a very difficult teacher and prepare for alot of assignments. You will have to do an ABC Book, lesson plans, and at least 4 or 5 extensive assignments. However, the reward at the end is fulfilling and if you are a hard worker you will definitely pass. I finished with an A.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS DURING THE SUMMER!!!!!!! Trust me, it is three weeks long, monday-friday 9-2pm at least 4 homework assignments due each day lesson plan due every day. ALOT of work! I am not sure how I functioned in this class! You will only get about 2 hours of sleep every night if you take this with robbins over the summer!
Very knowledgeable professor but extremely hard course. Unfortunately formatting is more important than content for lesson plans and assignments & grading is subjective even w/ a rubric. Intimidating rather than approachable-get on her two-faced good side early. Avoid the extra stress she causes & take Tsalikis or Yribarren for all reading courses.
One of the best teachers at FIU. She is passionate about teaching future teachers how to teach reading. Follow her syllabus and do EVERYTHING she tells you to do, and you'll do great. I've had her for 2 reading classes and taking my third with her in the fall.
She gives a lot of work and doesn't really explain the assignments. She makes you write a three level paper for every assignment regardless of how much work it is.
TONS of assignments/lesson plans. She gives you a week for each lesson plan which you have to write it up, teach it and then write a reflection. Its a lot to do. She talks excessively, but yet misses a lot of important details in which she takes points of for. Check all your graded work for her mistakes! and you need both books every class day
A LOT of work. I would advise you to record class. She gives a lot of details, and sometimes she didn't say what she thinks she said and then holds you accountable. Personally, I think she put too much emphasis on the "what" of what we do, and not enough on the "why". She is helpful, though, and works as hard as you do. Ask for help if you take her
Had her for RED1, & now RED2. Although RED2 is a bit more work & more difficult, she is worth taking! She teaches you a lot, & you actually learn! She allows 4 U to redo an assignment if you get a low score as long as you learn from your mistakes. I recommend her 100%. Plus, you'll most likely have her for RED4, so its good to know how she works.
Class is pretty easy if you follow directions. Take notes and start your ABC book ASAP. You learn A LOT and if you take her for the other RED's, its a lot easier because you're used to how she works. I highly recommend this professor. She knows what she's talking about, and although she's "harder" than others, it is worth it! I highly recommend!
This professor is amazing. Her class is a lot of work but you actually learn. She will be there every step of the way for you. If you ever need help you can go to her office and she will help you until you complete the whole assignment. Most helpful teacher and will accept work late.
Do not take her. Please, save yourself the trouble of having to put up with her two-faced attitude. She sugar coats everything, and tries to be nice when in reality she's evil. She is way too picky with grading, inconsistent with her scheduling, and terribly annoying. Pick a better professor.
I was dreading taking her class because of the things I had heard but I'm glad I did. Of course attendance is mandatory, you are responsible for a student. Why would anyone want to leave their student without a tutor? Do the work and ask for help when you need it. She will help. The class is difficult, so is teaching.
I was nervous about taking a class with Dr.Robbins because of some of the previous comments. But she is an AMAZING professor! By far the best I've had in the Education department so far. She's extremely helpful, crystal clear about her assignments, & best of all she makes the class interesting & fun. I recommend her to everyone! :) TAKE HER!
She is truly an amazing teacher, she is very knowledgeable of what she teaches. There is lots of work but she is very clear about what she assigns. I definately recomend her. If you do all the assignments correctly and on time you will definately get an A. I ended up with a B for turning in some assingments late.

Sydney bus driver refuses to drive mum and her toddler
A Sydney bus driver demanded a mum stop her toddler "carrying on" or get off his bus. What he did next shocked passengers enough to come to her defense.
This column originally appeared on The Daily Telegraph. By Daniela Ongaro.
A Sydney bus driver demanded a mum stop her toddler 'carrying on' or get off his bus because he couldn't drive with all the noise.
When another passenger intervened the driver allegedly turned on him before storming off the vehicle to sit at a bus stop – leaving his customers stranded by the side of the road for 10 minutes.
Shocked mum, Beth, tells her story
Beth Burton had collected her 21-month-old daughter Mia from daycare and boarded the 380 service from Dover Heights to Bondi just before 4pm Tuesday. She was five minutes into the trip when she was confronted.
"As we got to the next stop the driver stood up, looked at me and asked where was I getting off," Mrs Burton, 24, said.
"I told him on the other side of Bondi Beach and he said if my daughter didn't stop carrying on like that I would have to get off the bus because he couldn't drive."

Irish demolition worker Liam Monte was boarding when he overhead the exchange and came to the shocked mother's defence.
"I thought it was totally out of order what he was saying," Mr Monte, 25, said. "There's a few idiots back home in Sunderland but it's a good town and I was taught to stick up for people who are being bullied. He was wrong and being aggressive towards her and I don't think it's the manly thing to do towards a woman."
Mr Monte said the bus driver then 'had a go' at him and demanded he get off the bus – he refused. The half-full bus of passengers watched as the stand-off between the two men continued for minutes.
They were stunned when the irate driver turned the engine off and stormed off the bus – refusing to drive.
"He packed up his little change box and sat in the bus stop outside with his arms crossed – he was in a right little paddy," Mr Monte said.
After a 10-minute impasse, another passenger spoke with the driver and convinced him to return to the bus and resume the journey.
Did the driver overreact? Have your say below.
Mrs Burton said the man involved was not the regular driver and believed he should be off the road.
"This man shouldn't be allowed to drive public transport and at the very least he should be given a formal warning," she said.
Conceding her daughter was whingeing and out of sorts, Mrs Burton denied she was screaming or crying loudly and said CCTV from the in-bus camera would support her version of events.
A State Transit spokesman yesterday confirmed an investigation was under way but refused access to the footage for 'privacy' reasons.
While he wouldn't confirm if the driver had been stood down, he said he was an experienced employee who had been with the organisation "for a while".
"We are certainly very concerned that Mrs Burton has had this experience," the spokesman said.
"Many mothers travel on our services with their children every day and they are entitled to a hassle-free trip. If the allegation is found to be true strong action will be taken against the driver."
Mrs Burton said: "I have travelled overseas eight times with Mia and this doesn't happen anywhere else."
Eastern suburbs mothers voiced their support, posting around 50 comments after details of the incident were posted on a mothers' forum.
UPDATE: Driver has been suspended
The Sydney bus driver who told a mother to get off his bus because her toddler was "carrying on" has been suspended.
State Transit says CCTV footage from the bus had captured the incident involving mum Beth Burton and her 21-month-old daughter Mia. The footage also showed that when another passenger intervened the driver allegedly turned on him before storming off the vehicle to sit at a bus stop – leaving his customers stranded by the side of the road.
The footage shows the bus driver returning after about a minute to resume the route.
State Transit says it has contacted Ms Burton to apologise and is "appalled" at the way she was treated.
"The driver has now been suspended and final action will be determined once a full investigation has been completed," a spokesman said.

Hawi Travel Tips
Enjoyable Beach Getaways in Hawi Vacation Homes
While staying in Hawi lodging, you'll have privacy and luxury accommodations that many hotels can't offer. In Hawi vacation homes, you have the opportunity to wake up to views of the Pacific Ocean or lush tropical gardens. Hawi lodging includes many amenities as well, from oversized beds and satellite TV to wood-burning fireplaces and in-unit washers/dryers.
Vacationers in Hawaii can expect luxury while on their vacation, but tourists of the Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii can expect the best of the best. The Kohala Cost offers world-class accommodations, from fine dining options to Hawaii's best golf courses. And, with less than nine inches of rainfall per year, you're sure to see plenty of sunshine while on your trip. What's more, Hawi vacation homes, feature spacious floor plans and gourmet kitchens to ensure your stay is as relaxing as possible.
Vacation in Luxury in the Kohala Coast
While you're not enjoying Big Island vacation rentals, explore the luxurious options Kohala Coast has to offer. For instance, Kohala Coast is home to the Mauna Kea Golf Course, where golfers can soak in sweeping, panoramic views at nearly every hole. If you'd rather relax, check out Hapuna Beach State Park, the largest white-sand beach on the island that offers the perfect conditions for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing.
Educational Excursions in the Kohala Coast
The Kohala Coast also offers plenty of fun educational opportunities. For example, Kohala is home to the Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve, which boasts hundreds of petroglyphs, or lava rock carving etched centuries before by Native Hawaiians. Although the meanings behind these petroglyphs are generally unknown, they are thought to represent significant events in the Hawaiians' lives.
The True Hawaiian Experience with Hawi Condos
Few things are as representative of their area as Hawi is to Hawaii. Recognized as the birthplace of the great Hawaiian king, Kamehameha I, Hawi today has a classic yet modern feel to it. The locals are few, but very friendly and eager to share their home and culture with you. Hawi condos offer a unique and private, yet exclusively Hawaiian way to experience the area.
The Spirit of Hawaii
Hawi is small on population, reporting less than 1000 residents at the last census, but big on attractions, friendliness, and history. You can partake in the lush natural beauty or visit the wealth of beaches, such as Halawa Beach Park. All of these are within ten minutes of Hawi house rentals. By renting a vacation rental in Hawi, you get a more private, homelike experience, and a bit more luxury as well. If you happen to be traveling in October, you can even catch the turnaround of the annual Ironman World Championship bicycle race. Whenever you visit, Hawi condos bring you a little closer to the authentic Hawaiian experience.
Making the Most of Your Trip
There are few places you can vacation that offer more things to do than Hawi. Among the
Kohala Coast vacation rentals, Hawi house rentals are particularly attractive because of the close proximity to everything in the area. You can walk a short distance into town to partake in the local food, or shop for things to prepare at our vacation home. Beaches are numerous and thriving. You'll certainly want to visit the Kohala Historical Sites State Monument, featuring a temple which is up to 1500 years old and the birthplace of Kamehameha I. For more modern fun, you have the amazing championship golf courses and a wealth of spas to make you feel wrapped in luxury.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Youngstown Phantoms and 21 WFMJ are partnering to raise food donations for the Mahoning Valley's less fortunate this Holiday Season.
The Phantoms will hold a food drive to benefit Second Harvest Food Bank ahead of their game Friday, Nov. 23 vs. the Team USA as part of WFMJ's "Project: Feed Our Valley" initiative.
The Phantoms will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items at the Covelli Centre box office in the days leading up to the "Black Friday" Food Drive, and Second Harvest Food Bank will be on-hand beginning at 6 p.m. the night of the game to collect all of the donations.
Fans who donate two or more non-perishable food items will receive a $6 ticket voucher that can be redeemed for a purple or green level ticket to the Nov. 23 game – a savings of up to $9. The game time is set for 7:15 p.m.
The Covelli Centre box office will be open to accept food donations and exchange ticket vouchers from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 19 through Wednesday, Nov. 21. The box office will be closed for Thanksgiving, but re-open Friday, Nov. 23 at 4 p.m. for donations ahead of the food drive. For more information, call 330.747.7825.
"Project: Feed Our Valley" is a campaign to educate people about hunger in our community and raise vital donations of food and money for Second Harvest Food Bank. Since the launch of "Project: Feed Our Valley" in 2007, the Food Bank has gone from feeding more than 7,000 people a week in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties, to feeding more than 14,000. But, our Valley has responded to the need by donating almost $290,000 and nearly 330,000 pounds of food in that time.
