Really, I do.
I feel as though I've been tricked by the organization, the talent, and even the media.
Everyone talked up the improved performance at the end of the 2008 season and what a difference Singletary made with Vernon Davis. It seemed as though he was exactly the right coach for an underperforming team. What went wrong?
Turns out that the team wasn't underachieving under Nolan... it was under talented and disinterested in a head coach who didn't earn his players respect.
They certainly respect Singletary but they realized last year what we're all realizing this year: that he isn't a very good head coach. He couldn't attract quality coordinators and had to settle for Raye and Manusky. They did okay last year with the remnants of the former (Nolan and Martz) coaches schemes. Once they put their own schemes in place, we got a look at what the niners really are: a bad team.
They are prone to penalties, missed assignments, and over-aggressive play on defense. Not to mention they are poorly schemed, utterly undisciplined, and under talented.
On offense they underutilize their talent, don't have a true starting QB, scheme poorly, are sloppy, and have two rookies on their O-line.
After the fact it's obvious that this isn't a very good team but I bought what they were selling and now I feel like an idiot.
It's true that after game one I saw the light, for a moment. Then, unable to admit my foolishness, I convinced myself that they could get better and that they were in a weak enough division to still pull out a win. How wrong I was. How wrong we all were.
I no longer feel dumb. Now I'm angry. I'm angry that an organization as storied as ours can't attract top-notch talent to our front-office and coaching staff. I'm angry at ownership. They've failed the fans and they've sullied the reputation of what I believe was the finest organization in football. They need to pay and I for one will not buy a single ticket to a game, television package, or merchandise until ownership changes its conduct or the ownership itself changes.
I want winners. This city deserves it and demands it.

Just 4 Today (Friday, Both Sides Now)
Monday I did my cloud watching from the ground. . . . Tuesday and Wednesday it was from airplanes. Yesterday it was from a post-trip-fog and today, it's all a blur!
Just 4 Today, I'm weighing myself (done!), taking my fiber and other supplements (DONE!), drinking 2 liters of water (about 1/2 already), walking 5 miles (in at least 3 walks – 3415) . . . . and NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds!
And we'll just see how well I do with this today.
Sunday: Powered by Dreams; Grounded in Facts
New scene.
Elaine and Puddy on the plane.
Elaine: I can't believe we broke up like that.
Elaine starts reading, Puddy stares off into space.
Elaine: Do you want something to read?
Puddy: Nah.
Elaine: Well, are you going to take a nap or –
Puddy: Nah.
Elaine: You're just going to sit there staring at the back of a seat?
Puddy: Yeah.
Elaine tries to read but cannot concentrate.
Elaine: That's it! I cannot take this!

Success Begins With a Dream
(This is the first of a series of posts on Controlling Diet)
Almost exactly two years ago, I took control of my diet. It happened in stages . . . .
Like many people, I've lost a lot of weight and gained it (and more) right back. So I wasn't happy when those first (almost niggling) thoughts told me that I had to change my ways. After all, I'd done it before — again and again. I was determined that I'd do it differently this time, if I was going to do it at all.
So I spent July 2005 just dreaming of diets and changes. Remembering past successes and how they ultimately failed. As I retraced my steps, it seemed to me that there were two elements to my failures. The first was that I allowed exceptions (I could eat chocolate just once). The second was that I always promised myself that tomorrow I'd get back on track again. And tomorrow never came.
Even then, I was walking every day and I'd think about these things as I walked. Then I'd go out to lunch with friends at work. And eat my after work snack (we were eating dinner at about 10:30pm in those days.) And nibble on something most days from the machine in the break room.
Thinking through the Weightloss Process
I think that month I spent meditating on diet was one of the most important elements to the success I've had (and yes, I'm ready now to claim some success.) I faced-up to the inevitable loss of momentum and imagined how I'd handle it. I thought about the changes to my body and decided before I ever started that I wouldn't keep any "fat clothes." And I decided to talk about it. Openly. To Everyone.
In my dreams, I pictured myself walking into the kitchen for an evening snack and turning around without getting anything. Sometimes, I'd get a glass of water.
I did thought-experiments on dieting for the whole month of July that year. Knowing that the day would come when a family crisis or a national disaster or an upset at work would distract me from obsessing about a diet, I was determined to find a way to control my weight without having to think about it all the time.
And don't forget weekends — how many times have you lost momentum on a diet over a weekend filled with exceptions to your rules? I can't even count the times weekends have thrown me off a successful routine. That couldn't happen to me again. I couldn't afford it.
Of course the reality was quite different than I imagined. More on The Reality of Dieting next week.

Remodeled Historic Building
Additional Photos
Installation DescriptionA drop ceiling installation using Stratford White Ceiling Tiles, and Medallion White Ceiling Tiles.
Customer Testimonial
We remodeled the Adler Building, which was built in 1893 in Historic Downtown Guthrie, OK. Guthrie was the first capital of Oklahoma and is on the National Historic Trust registry as the largest contiguously restored Victorian city in the United States. The building had gone through many remodels, but none of them had restored it historically. Air conditioning had been added and a drop ceiling had been installed. The Ceilume Ceiling Tiles were just the answer to restore the historic look with minor modifications. Everyone that walks in the building comments on the wonderful "tin" ceiling. We have inspired more of the historic building owners to consider installing the Ceilume tiles.

David Wright has flown completely under the radar this spring, which is extremely important for the Mets. A year ago at this time, all of the talk was centered around Wright's unexpected power outage in 2009. Questions abound for the upcoming 2010 season about if his power would return, has he lost his stroke, and would he ever be the same player. David put those questions to bed early in 2010 homering in his first at-bat in Citi Field, just the start of another solid all-star season for the Virginia Native. In another season amidst controversy, injuries and lack of production from star players, David proved the be the rock of the franchise. He steadily put together an all-star season in line with his previous years. He anointed himself the face of the franchise, not by his words, but by his actions. He stood by his locker day after day, answering questions about poor performance, losing and injuries. He played hard and put up very solid numbers, despite for the second consecutive year having no real protection behind him. Beltran was a shell of his former self once he returned, Bay never got off the ground and Davis was just a kid. David was the guy who got in Pelfrey's face in the dugout during his month and half slump, telling him that he was better than that. He has come out this spring and said "I just know how special it was the season that we had in '06. It was so much fun. I haven't had that since, and I miss it", while also giving his teammates a message saying "It's to the point now where you've got to put up or shut up."
Through all of the negative headlines over the past few seasons, #5 has been the face standing up to own it all. More often than not he was the only one standing at his locker after games talking about the mistakes and poor performance of others. He wants to be the guy, the one who helps lead his favorite childhood team to the promise land. While we all have doubts that the Mets can contend this season, it is clear the one person has hope. It is safe to say that with the Mets storm brewing with no end in sight, David Wright is the calm that nobody is worried about.

TED-Ed needs your help! Where can we find the best videos?
I'm compiling a list of videos that I can put before the people who are creating lessons on the TED-Ed website (ed.ted.com). The videos that we suggest should be impeccable -- quality of video, content of video, and it's appropriateness for a high school classroom. They also have to be on YouTube.
Here's a few examples of amazing videos:
1) What Color Is A Mirror?
2) Cicadas and Exoskeletons: Bite Sci-zed
3) Why is it Dark at Night?
4) High Diving Giraffes (we can contextualize any quality video)
5) Slow Motion Flipping Cat Physics (I had to include a cat video)
6) The Quakers, the Dutch, and the Ladies
Don't worry about suggesting TED Talks or TEDx Talks. We're already creating lessons around that content. I'm looking for amazing videos that people may not know about yet.

Aug 15 2013: I love the natural world..so what about David Suzuki,s documentary on plants,or the Plants eye view from Ted? Its about plants being adaptive and interactive..without a brain..which is against our known version of intelligence..what about a documentary on String Theory..not saying it is infact true..but giving a different perspective of how reality could in fact be composed..The Elegant Universe> A documentary on the spice route,or coffee called Black Coffee was great to see how different counteries responded to a new food..there is one called Extreme Enginerring about irrigation and building water ways for marketplaces that show how difficult it is to work with nature..I watch documentaries all the time ..I own hundreds and have embraced learning as a lifestyle,,not a destination..Your lucky to have a job that requests this of you..enjoy
Aug 15 2013: Thank you, Carolyn! You are right -- documentaries are such a wonderful place for learning. I often find myself neglecting sleep because I have heard of or happened upon a new documentary.
However, documentaries are often too long to show in a classroom setting, you know? If a teacher only has 45 minutes with his/her students, they can't show a feature length documentary in one sitting. Showing even one film is a large commitment of classroom time. I am not saying the teacher shouldn't do it, and many do.
I do think that shorter videos on specific topics could be a more sustainable way of guiding students into new concepts. If you love the natural world, you'll love some of Derek Muller's videos on YouTube -- he explains the physics of the natural world in a way that all of us can understand. Or, The Brain Scoop is a zoology channel that's all about figuring out how animals lived by dissecting them after death.

These thieves and vandals aren't just skulking away into the night. Many are taking to Twitter to brag about swiping and defacing signs, including one guy who used a Romney sign like Occupiers use cop cars.

Keep it up, guys! The Romney campaign gets more cash when people have to replace their stolen and vandalized stickers and signs.
Other lefty Twitter users haven't admitted to ripping up signs, defacing stickers and keying cars … yet. As of now, they're just aspiring vandals. Because that's persuasive.

We are very grateful to Jim Winnett who represents MNA Region 4 on the North Shore Labor Council.
Region 4 nurses actively lobbied our state legislators on the state-wide need for Taunton State Hospital to remain open as a critical component of mental health services which are inadequate to the needs we see every day.

RN to BSN Program
Region 4 hosted a handful of members who participated in this valuable videoconference program from MNA Canton.
CE Reimbursement Benefit
In fiscal year '13, we spent over $11,000 to reimburse 138 members up to $100 for the costs of continuing education, certification or APN licensure.
Massachusetts Nurses Foundation
Our $1,000 donation to the MNF Golf Tournament sponsored a foursome of Salem Hospital nurses.
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy which devastated many of our nursing colleagues in New York, we donated $500 to the New York State Nurses Association Disaster Relief Fund.
We contributed $500 to each of these three local organizations: Cape Ann Food Pantry in Gloucester, My Brothers Table in Lynn, and the Merrimack Valley Food Bank in Lowell.
We continued our collection of hats, scarves, mittens and gloves for school-age kids. We deliver them to nurses in our five MNA school nurse bargaining units and through the Lawrence Public Health Department.

For the first time in decades, there has been a legal sale of marijuana in D.C. It is medical marijuana.
On Monday the first medical marijuana patient walked into a dispensary, Capital City Care, and conducted the transaction.
"Beyond excited. This is fabulous. We've been waiting, as you know, for 15 years," says General Manager David Guard. "Just got word [Monday] that we could open our doors."
Capital City Care will sell four strains of marijuana. Patients must be D.C. residents approved by the city's Department of Health.

Edwin Figueroa stepped in on late notice to face Michael McDonald at UFC Fight Night 24. While he came up short, losing a split decision, Figueroa did impress as the bout was awarded Fight of the Night honors. It would seem that the UFC has seen fit to give Edwin a gift at UFC on Versus 5 to show their appreciation for his late notice effort. Via UFC.com:
"Jason Reinhardt and Edwin Figueroa have verbally agreed to face each other in a bantamweight bout, August 14th in Milwaukee," said UFC President Dana White. "With 20 wins, Reinhardt has never gone the distance and Figueroa is coming off a sensational "Fight of The Night" performance against Michael McDonald."
Reinhardt is making his debut at bantamweight after losing his last bout in 48 seconds to Tiequan Zhang at UFC 127. Reinhardt entered that bout with a stellar 20-1 record. He had previously fought in the UFC at UFC 78 when Joe Lauzon tapped him in a minute and fourteen seconds. Jason took the hard road after the Lauzon fight. Submitting Cody Larson (then 0-0, retired 0-5) and Marcus Hermann (then 2-9, retired 2-11) and taking three years off before returning to the UFC to "test" Zhang.
All I'm trying to say is, let's not get to excited about "20 wins" and "never going the distance" when only three of those wins were against guys with career winning records, two of those coming more than a decade ago and the other coming against a guy whose career didn't last two years.
Figueroa's gutsy effort against McDonald means a whole lot more to me than empty numbers.

Providence Hosts Springfield Tonight at The Dunk
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins (2-0-0-0, 4 PTS, 1st Atlantic) play host to the Springfield Falcons (1-0-1-0, 3 PTS, T-2nd Atlantic) this evening at the Dunkin' Donuts Center for their first action since the teams battled in Rhode Island last Sunday, a 4-3 P-Bruins overtime victory. Providence is 1-0-0-0 to begin its 10-game season-series with Springfield.
In Sunday's match-up at The Dunk, the P-Bruins tallied a pair of power play goals and carried a 3-1 advantage into the third period before the Falcons rallied to tie the game and force an overtime for the second time in as many Providence games this season. The P-Bruins wasted no time in the extra session, however, as Vladimir Sobotka notched his second goal of the year just 25 seconds into the OT to clinch the win. Two days later, on Tuesday, Sobotka and teammate Matt Hunwick were called up to the National Hockey League, where they made their Boston Bruins season debuts in a 4-3 shootout loss on the road to the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday. Both went scoreless in their first NHL action of the year after leaving Providence with two-game points-streaks. Sobotka opened the season with consecutive multiple-point efforts while Hunwick registered an assist in each win.
To compensate for the loss of personnel, the P-Bruins added three players during the week, including left wing Ned Lukacevic (by trade) and defensemen Derick Martin and Brett Motherwell (both signed to Professional Tryout Agreements). All three have AHL experience, Lukacevic with the Manchester Monarchs, Martin with the Peoria Rivermen and Motherwell with the Syracuse Crunch. The three are eligible to make their AHL season debuts tonight.
The Falcons, meanwhile, added two players from the Edmonton Oilers prior to last Sunday's game but neither played in the contest. Defenseman Mathieu Roy returns to Springfield after spending parts of the last three seasons with Edmonton for a total of 30 NHL games. He had 10 points (2g, 8a) in 20 AHL games a year ago. Along with Roy, high-scoring left wing Rob Schremp could join the Falcons line-up. Schremp recorded 76 points, including 23 goals, in 78 games for Springfield in 2007-08. He is scoreless in three career NHL games with the Oilers.
Providence is off to a strong start to the season on the power play, going 5-for-18 (27.8%) in its first two games. The club's early success has them ranked sixth in the AHL with the man-advantage while Springfield ranks 17th, going 2-for-13 (15.4%). On the penalty kill, the P-Bruins are 11-of-13 (84.6%), tied for 13th in the league, and the Falcons are 11-of-14 (78.6%), good for 19th place.
The first 2,000 fans in attendance tonight will receive free P-Bruins 2007-08 AHL regular season champion t-shirts, courtesy of ServiceMaster Clean, Graftek Systems, Dunkin' Donuts and your New England Dodge Dealers. Providence plays a pair on the road this weekend, Saturday against the Worcester Sharks at 7:05 p.m. at the DCU Center and Sunday afternoon at 4:05 p.m. versus the Portland Pirates at the Cumberland County Civic Center. The P-Bruins are next home Friday, November 7 at 7:05 p.m. against the defending AHL champion Chicago Wolves.
To purchase tickets or for more information, call the Providence Bruins office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com. Tickets may be purchased in person by visiting the Dunkin' Donuts Center Box Office or all TicketMaster outlets.

Getting off to a good start with marketing automation sets the stage for long-term success. However, according to DemandGen Report, 76% of marketers who implemented marketing automation systems said that if they had it to do over again, they'd do more preparation by building better processes and content offers.
Marketing automation provides such measurable rewards that it's well worth taking the upfront planning time to get it right from the get-go. These four steps can guide any organization to an efficient implementation of a marketing automation solution, ensuring a positive launch and ongoing successes.
1. Choose the right time to implement
These five business conditions best set the stage for success:
2. Avoid the main cause of failure
The single most common cause for marketing automation failure is a lack of attention to detail and process in the marketing organization.
So, how do you avoid this? Begin with acquisition. Work with your sales department to determine and agree on your specific business processes and goals before you evaluate and select a system. Not doing so typically results in under-use, rendering your new platform little more than an email system.
Examine the way your marketing funnel functions, and how prospects and marketing activities translate into revenue. Ask the hard questions; the answers will make it easier to apply marketing automation constructively and measure success.
Marketing automation projects benefit from widespread buy-in outside the marketing department, particularly from sales. Sales will embrace and contribute when the system supports their own goals. Delivering real-time prospect activity data will usually rally sales professionals, who thrive on those insights. Seeing that value, they will be more likely to contribute their own outcomes and insights to the shared data pool.
3. Embrace marketing automation best practices
Every company will have unique goals which support its own specific business processes, but there are established best practices which help make the most of your marketing automation system.
4. Create a project plan
Success requires a project plan, which consists of three major stages:
If you've defined your processes, chosen your vendor, and are planning your technology implementation, we highly recommend Gleanster Research's "The New Rules of Digital Engagement." This paper includes sound strategic advice about all forms of online marketing, and provides key milestones for the first 30 days of marketing automation implementation.

LAHORE: A 24-year-old youth was gunned down by two unidentified motorcyclists, while four other people were found dead in different incidents in the provincial capital on Monday.
In the first incident, the deceased was identified as Shahbaz, a resident of Ganj Bazaar, Jehangir Road. Police said that the victim was near his house on Sunday night when two bike riders approached and fired straight shot at him.
Upon being informed, a number of locals and family members reached the crime scene and took the injured to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed.
Police said that it was a targeted killing because the deceased had a clash going on with a local group. Police have registered a case against the accused persons on the complaint of the deceased's brother, with no arrests made so far. The body was sent to the city mortuary for an autopsy.
In another incident, a 40-year-old trader of Azam Cloth Market was found dead under mysterious circumstances in a guesthouse in the Faisal Town police area. Police suspect that it might have been a case of poisonous liquor or an overdose.
The deceased has been identified as Liaqat, a resident of Okara. Police said that the victim was living with his second wife in Faisal Town. The investigation officer said that the man was found unconscious in the room of a guesthouse situated in P-Block, Faisal Town. He said that the victim was taken to a local hospital where doctors pronounced him dead.
He said that the police handed over the body to his heirs after fulfilling the legal formalities.
Separately, three men were found dead in the Bhatti Gate, Ichhra and Shadbagh police areas.
The police said that the men, yet to be identified, were found lying dead on the roadsides.
Some passers-by spotted the bodies and contacted the police. The police investigators believed that the men were drug addicts, but the actual cause of the death would be ascertained after post-mortem reports. The police have moved the bodies to the morgue for autopsies.
Also, eight officials of the Elite Force were injured when two vehicles of the prime minister's convoy rammed into each other on The Mall near the Canal Road.
Sources said that the collision took place as the PM was leaving Alhamra Hall, where he had a meeting with senior journalists.
They said that the driver of a jammer vehicle (blocking mobile phone signals) lost control over it and collided with another vehicle coming from behind, carrying personnel of the Elite Force. As a result, eight personnel were injured, while the vehicles were substantially damage.
The injured were rushed to the Services Hospital for medical treatment, where their condition is said to be stable.
Upon being informed about the incident, Elite Force DIG Rai Tahir, DIG (Operations) Abdul Jabbar and other senior police officials reached the hospital and inquired about the condition of the injured officials. The DIG (operations) told the media that the best medical facilities were being provided to all the injured officials.
LAHORE: Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah of the Lahore High Court on Tuesday dismissed a petition ...

Lets get right into it!
- Shamar Bailey got punked on the ground, I wasn't the biggest fan of the stoppage but it looked like Bailey was broken.
- Seth Baczynski vs Matt Brown was just a fun fight. I've never really been sure what to make of Matt Brown but he won me over last night with an awesome no gi sissors sweep. And then after Baczynski finished the choke, one of my favorite moments of the night, Brown was clearly distraught he got caught in the choke. Baczynski could have gotten up and celebrated and nobody would have said a thing, but his fight act is to start comforting Brown. I had a "God I love this sport" in that moment.
- Great night for front head lock chokes, between Seth Baczynski, Faber and the nasty D'arce Chris Weidman used to but Tom Lawlor to bed. They weren't just nasty and tight jokes, but wonderful, technical leg work also.
- Also a good night for the old 1990's Carlson Gracie team. Miguel Torres was the energizer bunny of death last night, with just an awesome pace, doing damage from every position and every moment of the fight. And then Stephen Bonnar gave a clinic in how to use side control to control a bigger and stronger opponent.
- Rick Story has fallen from grace. I was willing to write off the Brenneman loss with an impressive performance tonight and I expected him to physically overwhelm Martin Kampmann. But Kampmann was just excellent last night, holding off Story's assaults on the feet with good, technical Muay Thai and then just flowing around Story on the ground.
- Story looked like the classic wrestler with out much BJJ knowledge beyond some basic defenses, from the bottom of half guard he was flat on his back, not hip escaping and just grabbing on to Kampmann and looking at the ref to come save him. His scrambling was good, but once he got to all fours he gave up his back with out any fight. In short, Story is starting to strongly remind of a 170 lb Tyson Griffin.
- Urijah Faber is fast. I mean really fast. Like how is he still the fastest guy in all of his fights when he dropped a weight class? I want to see Faber vs Demetrious Johnson just to see who is quicker. Bowles had no answer for that speed.
- On any other card, we are all talking about Wanderlei vs Cung this morning. Awesome fight, both fighters showed great heart and grit. I was very impressed by Cung, while I am a fan of his I questioned his ability to hang in the UFC and I think he proved he is tough enough into hang.
- Shogun vs Hendo.... just awesome. This was Stephen Bonnar vs Forrest Griffin 1 expect both guys are well, not just good but excellent! Back and forth, a fight that told a story in greatest way. Let this forever be the example used to drive home the point that 5 round main events are AWESOME. I couldn't help think "What if this had been on Fox?" and I know that is unfair, but still....
- I straight up lost my mind when Shogun, bruised and battered, holding on to half guard for his life rolled for a heel hook. Or when Hendo was giving his post fight interview being held up by his corner. There are no words for how amazing that fight was.
- On a scoring note, I agree with the score cards, but I feel in a street sense that Rua won the fight. He took the best of what Hendo had to take and then took the fight over late, but in the context of the 10 Point system, Hendo won.
- One final thought, I've seen Hendo do this when mounted against Jake Shields and now Shogun:
Now I am a fan of Hendo, but will somebody... please... GO FOR A F*CKING ARMBAR!

DeWanna Bonner named W.C. Player of the Week
Phoenix Mercury forward DeWanna Bonner was named the WNBA's Western Conference Player of the Week Monday after averaging 20.7 points and 10.7 rebounds in three contests.
Bonner's production comes at a good time for the Mercury (2- 4), as they are playing without forward Penny Taylor, who is out for the year with a knee injury and guard Diana Taurasi, who has a strained hip flexor.
The Mercury went 1-2 for the week and are off until Friday when they visit the Los Angeles Sparks at Staples Center.

The Ron Paul REVOLUTION
by DerekLarsson, Fri Oct 12, 2007 at 08:23:01 PM EDT
So just how do you save a bankrupt Nation, awash up to the eyeballs in 80 Trillion Dollars ($80,000,000,000,000.00) of debt, with a declining middle-class, a declining standard-of-living, declining Civil Liberties, a declining currency, and that is mentally frozen into thinking it must behave as "an Empire" and maintain 750 unwanted Foreign Military Bases over all the planet, and Military systems littered all over even Outer Space itself-??
Answer: The Ron Paul Revolution
Let the learning begin:
PBS NewsHour Part 1
PBS NewsHour Part 2
The Revolution in the streets!
The Revolution in the streets!
"The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.
Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women.
We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the United States Constitution.
Too often we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised. Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihads themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden [CIA payroll]. We armed and trained them, and now we're paying the price.
At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations."
-Ron Paul, U. S. Presidential Candidate
"The [ American ] Colonies would gladly have borne the little tax on tea and other matters had it not been that England took away from the Colonies their money, which created debt, unemployment, and dissatisfaction. The inability of the colonies to get power to issue their own money permanently out of the hands of George III and the international bankers was the prime reason for the Revolutionary War."
-Benjamin Franklin
"If the America people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currencies, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them [ Military-Industrial-Complex ] will deprive the people of all their prosperity until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
--Thomas Jefferson
"These International bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government."
-Theodore Roosevelt, 1919
"The Federal Reserve Act of 1913" and "The National Security Act of 1947" were the twin Orwellian evils that forever changed this Country. This is what remains broken with our Country today (it was never fixed).
Our Nation was founded by people wishing to escape the clutches of an authoritarian Empire and it's Central Bank.
Isn't about time we escape once again-??

I'm sharing one of my favorite Summer Grilling Recipes – Southern Sweet Cole Slaw Dogs with you as I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Heinz Vinegar. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and as a thank you for participating.
Summer is in full force here in east Tennesee. Even though most schools are already back in session in our part of the country, temperatures are unwavering and the east Tennessee humidity in August says that Summer isn't anywhere close to being done. To my family that means… it's grilling season!
We grill pretty much all year around, but in the Summer it's just so convenient. You don't freeze when going in and out while cooking, you don't heat up your house even more by cooking in the kitchen, and it's just more fun to cook food outside, right?! Not to mention the taste of a deliciously grilled hamburger!
Today I'm sharing with you one of my favorite Grilling Sides. This cole slaw recipe tastes perfect a-top a grilled hot dog, alongside a hamburger, grilled chicken breast… with really just about anything you can imagine! Have a favorite slow cooked BBQ recipe? Try it on that too!
What makes this recipe super unique is the bit of sugar that gives the cole slaw just a hint of sweetness and the vinegar, oh the sweet crisp of the added Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar. I used to only use regular vinegar in my Cole Slaw Dressing, but now that I've tried the apple cider, I won't be switching back anytime soon! It gives us just a little extra umph that is too good to pass up!
I don't normally do much cooking with the Apple Cider variety of Heinz Vinegars, but after checking out the newly launched Heinz Vinegar Pinterest Page – I think I just might. Usually the vinegar in my cabinets is reserved for natural Healthy and Beauty aids… like a nice, conditioning rinse {anyone else do this?} for my hair.
I've even be reading about dabbing a bit on your T-Zone to help with breakouts. Although the result can be a bit of an odd smell, it really does seem to work quite well!
But, let's go back to those Slaw Dogs, I promised!
Southern Sweet Cole Slaw Dressing
What You'll Need:
- Bag of Shredded Cabbage Cole Slaw Mix
- 1/2 cup of Mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup of Sugar
- Salt & Pepper {the pepper makes this dressing really pop too – so don't skimp on it!}
- 1/8 cup of Heinz Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
Sure, you can shred your own cabbage, but I hardly ever do. Maybe if we start growing cabbage in our organic garden, I'll start!
Mix all of your dressing ingredients together and then pour on top of your cabbage and mix together. The original recipe, passed down from my Mom, was double the ingredients, but I found that after being refrigerated, the slaw was just too wet for my tastes. If this one seems to dry for you, simply double everything.
The cole slaw is ready to eat immediately, but definitely tastes better after it's been refrigerated for a bit of time – at least an hour, so the cabbage can soak up that sweet and tangy Southern Sweet Cole Slaw Dressing you just made!

Helen K. passed a background check on 4/11/14. The check was ordered by another user through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Helen, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.
I am calm and clear. My analytic capabilities allow me to break up a learning task into manageable parts. I have an EdD, and taught middle school and high school science for seven years, ESL for one, reading for thirteen, and high school and GED prep to adults for ten. I am familiar with the HOBET test to establish fitness for medical professions training. In my tutoring, I demonstrate the thinking skills and techniques to be learned and then lead the student in practicing them. This is in accord with the most recent research on effective teaching. I am aware that the development and effective use of vocabulary in all areas of study is essential for mastery. A language framework is needed to comprehend, express and explore concepts.
I very much enjoy the challenge of effectively communicating knowledge. I am creative in my methods. I love my students. I transform lives.
I have taught the content of the Algebra 1 course as a part of GED test preparation. I am familiar with the Los Angeles Unified School District's Algebra 1 course outline and CA state content standards. I enjoy teaching Algebra very much.
I taught Biology for 7 years in high school. I have just successfully coached a HS senior in AP Biology. She got a score of 5 on the AP Bio exam and the highest final exam score in the school. I am very enthusiastic about Biology.
I taught 3rd grade in a private school for 3 years. I am familiar with Los Angeles Unified School Districts course outlines for subjects at elementary grade levels. I've taught reading and basic math for many years.
I very much enjoy the challenge of teaching Elementary Math. I explain the concepts clearly using different approaches to assist the student in understanding. I have a calming presence which helps to assuage "math anxiety".
I have taught science for 7 years. I am able to explain the principles of the subject very clearly so they seem easy. I have a calming presence which helps my students overcome any anxiety.
I have taught high school English subjects to young adults as well as upper level ESL classes. The GED test preparation classes I give also involve grammar and writing conventions, as well as essay structure and writing. I enjoy teaching English.
I taught ESL and reading to students of ESL in adult school for 14 years. Most of students in my high school teaching and GED preparation have had English as a second language. ESL has been a major part of my teaching.
I have taught GED preparation for 10 years as well as proctoring and grading the official GED practice tests. I am very skilled at teaching the skills and knowledge required to succeed in passing the GED.
I taught a reading lab class for 13 years with LAUSD. Phonics is an integral part of the program for lower level readers.
I have taught pre-algebra extensively as part of the GED preparation program. I am creative in my explanations, and am able to clarify difficult concepts and make them simple. I very much enjoy teaching math to young people.
I have worked with many students on writing. I not only proofread for grammar mistakes, but also help students clarify the structure of their writing. I have great powers of analysis which enable me to dissect and elucidate the logic of a thesis.
I taught reading to adults for 13 years. Most of my students had English as a second language so phonics was important as was vocabulary development. I also worked with students so they could visualize the meaning of what they read to have a full understanding.
I have directed students in their successful studying for the GED. My most recent student who is studying in a very fast paced technical program had no idea how to study effectively. After one tutorial she feels empowered and is maintaining a 91 average.

The Anaheim Ducks and Detroit Red Wings are headed to overtime after the Ducks reeled off three consecutive third-period goals to tie Game 2 at 4-4.
It was an impressive comeback for the Ducks, especially after they shot themselves in the (webbed?) foot by giving up an early goal in all three periods. The Wings twice had three-goal leads in this one, but the Ducks never looked deflated.
The Ducks' comeback was powered by Ryan Getzlaf, Kyle Palmieri and Bobby Ryan, each at even strength -- a rarity for the power play-dependent Ducks. Ryan's goal came with just 2:22 left on the clock.
And it could have been worse for the Wings. During the Ducks' comeback, the magnificent Pavel Datsyuk came off the bench on a line change, sprinted into his own zone, hopped over a prone teammate and intercepted what would have been a golden scoring chance for Palmieri.
Watch, and admire:
Oh, go ahead, watch it from the other angle. (Datsyuk wears number 13.)
The teams are headed to overtime now. If the Wings lose this, they'll have blown a 3-0 lead and fallen behind 2-0 in the series.

We say it jokingly but also truthfully:
57 points in the first half.
Not too shabby, I suppose. I'm guessing the third quart collapse is going to be painful though.
col·lapse [kuh-laps] verb, col·lapsed, col·laps·ing, noun
verb (used without object)
1. to fall or cave in; crumble suddently: The roof collapsed and buried the crowd.
I'm pretty sure Pistons fans wish that would happen sometimes. It would outweigh the pain felt by seeing wins slip by. But is there any truth to this? Not necessarily that it's always a third
quart quarter collapse, but that the Pistons do normally have a period where they collapse? Is there any quarter that it happens in more often than the others? How many of them have really cost us the game?
So the only quarter we win on averages is the first quarter and it's not even close to a full point while we lose all other quarters by almost a point each quarter. That's depressing. But I guess we can kind of rule out Q1 as our normal collapse. Now, by the definition of collapse, the Pistons would have to fall suddenly, and I don't think you can do that from the onset (but then again, these are the Pistons). But for the record, 14 times in the Pistons 66 regular season games this year (only counting games where the Pistons were outscored at least one quarter), or 21.2%, the Pistons were outscored more in Q1 than they were in any other quarter of that game. And also for the record, there were only two games all year where we won or tied each quarter of a game, our game against Phoenix where we won by 40 and our game against Washington where we won by 32.
As far as the other quarters go, the Pistons were outscored more in each of these quarters more than any other quarter in the game: Q2 - 24 times (36.4%), Q3 - 14 times (21.2%) and Q4 - 18 times (27.3%). So in retrospect to the quote posted, it doesn't seem to be a third quarter issue perse. Now, of those times, how many of them resulted in losses? Well when the collapse happened in Q1, the Pistons lost 12 of the 14 times (85.7%). A collapse in Q2 resulted in a loss 16 of 24 times (66.6%). A collapse in Q3 resulted in a loss 10 of 14 times (71.4%). And finally, a collapse in Q4 resulted in a loss 11 of 18 times (61.1%).
The question is, what can we draw (or speculate) from these numbers? The Pistons have an issue finishing a half as compared to starting one. I think there are more numbers that are needed to verify my next assumption, but I would think that our starters are able to hold their own but our bench is extremely crappy. Ok, I say that in reference to scoring because Andre is anything but crappy (and he also should be a starter).
Surprisingly, the Pistons have outscored their opponents in 115 of 277 quarters played (including 5 overtime periods). That means 41.5% of the time, the Pistons win the quarter. I'd like to know how that stacks up against other teams but honestly don't have the patience to do the research. Of the other 162 quarters, the Pistons have only tied 12 of those times. So in 150 quarters, the Pistons have been outscored. When the Pistons win, they do so by an average of 2.84 PPQ. When the Pistons lose, they do so by an average of 2.99 PPQ. So it appears that we either win by 10+ points or lose by 10+ points, but not many "close" games. Using anything under 10 points to constitute a close game (though I don't consider it a close game), the Pistons have won 12 games by 10+ points and lost 25 games by 10+ points. That's 37 of the 68 games played, or 54.4%. If I were to take that number down to 5, then the Pistons have won or lost by 5 or more points 52 of the 68 games.
Also, here's another stat for you to chew on. Of the 18 times the Pistons collapsed in Q4, and of the 11 of those which were losses, 5 of those were games in which the difference in the 4th quarter was more than the difference of the game. The first game of the season, Houston outscores the Pistons 33-15 in the final period, wins by 9. The eighth game of the year, against OKC, the Pistons were outscored 30-17 and lost the game by 2 points. The 10th game of the year, the Pistons lose to Orlando by 4 after being outscored 39-31 in the final period. The 42nd game of the year, this time against Chicago (you know which one I'm referring to), the Pistons were outscored 28-14 in the final quarter to lose by 3. And lastly, to the Brooklyn Nets in the 50th game of the season, the Pistons were outscored 24-17 in the final period and lost by 3. Not one of those games are excusable if you ask me.
So in reality, the Pistons really do collapse in any quarter, but seem to do so more in the second and fourth quarter. Of our 45 losses, 20 (3 - Q1, 7 - Q2, 5 - Q3, 5 - Q4) of those came where the largest quarter deficit was more than the overall deficit, meaning for three of those quarters, the Pistons were the better team.

Now that's over with, "sweet baby."
I have 24 hours until the movers show up and about 23 hours worth of work left to do on this place before they get there. Welcome to a lightning round version of the week in news! Uber-recruit...
Long-time ESPN play-by-play announcer Ron Franklin, who announced more than a handful of Missouri basketball and football games on the network, was fired at ESPN after a tiff with a colleague. The article mentions derogatory language directed by Franklin at a colleague. Although it doesn't explicitly say sexual harassment, that's the clear implication. Based on the reports, firing could be construed as an overreaction in lieu of some other form of reprimand. However, it's not unreasonable for a company to have a "you can't curse your colleagues" policy. Also we don't know if Franklin has been disciplined in the past, or even all the details of the current incident. In any event, it's too bad. I always found Franklin's understated "just the facts ma'am" style refreshing.
If you're like me, ESPN primetime games meant one thing and one thing only: Ron Franklin. Unfortunately, that all changed back in 2005, when one ill-timed "sweetheart" comment to Holly Rowe left him wandering without a Saturday night home. Luckily for us, that all changes Saturday night in Baton Rouge. Let's hope the Mountaineers give him a proper welcome back to college football.

A Powder Springs woman is a part of a global group of around 150 "Windies."
Not only are they fans of Gone With the Wind, but they also know almost all of the handful of living GWTW actors personally and see them frequently. An exception is 95-year-old Olivia de Havilland, who played Melanie and lives in Paris.
"Miss Olivia sends us tapes, telling us how much she wishes she could be there with us," said Selina Faye Sorrow, a lifelong Powder Springs resident living next to her childhood home. "She's doing great. I've had quite a few friends who did get to meet her. She's very gracious."
Sorrow, 49, is known among the Windies by her stage name "Southern Spice."
"The GWTW cast members are really good friends of mine," she said. "It's amazing the stories they tell you of what went on behind the scenes."
Sorrow recalled the late Cammie King Conlon, who portrayed Scarlett and Rhett's daughter Bonnie Blue. She said Conlon kept getting tickled when Clark Gable ran to pick her up after falling off her horse. Conlon's character died after her tumble.
"They used a plastic mold for her face to look like she was sleeping" after the deadly fall, Sorrow said. "Cammie also said (Gable) would be sure she took a nap if he thought she was tired."
Conlon passed away in 2010.
Windies consider the GWTW actors to be "like their family," Sorrow said. Unlike some families, though, Windies do not gossip or speak disdainfully of any of the GWTW actors—living or deceased. "We love those people."
Invitations are required to attend Windie conventions and events. "We dress up and dance the Virginia Reel and meet with the actors," Sorrow said. "I probably have 200 autographs from the different events."
They also protect GWTW heritage, for instance, by donating funds to restore five of the seven GWTW dresses designed by Walter Plunkett. The original "Honeymoon Dress" can be seen at the Marietta Gone With the Wind Museum: Scarlett on the Square at 18 Whitlock Ave.
The remaining six dresses are in the archives at the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, according to the museum's website.
Connie Sutherland, the Marietta museum's director, said, "In Faye Sorrow's eyes, being a Windie means far more than being a fan of Gone With the Wind. It means supporting any museum or venue with her efforts in order to keep the love of Gone With the Wind alive.
"Faye appreciates the hard work and long hours it takes for us to provide the annual events the fans enjoy. She has always been willing to help as a volunteer in any way she might be needed."
Sutherland said she is "fortunate" as the museum's director to know the Windies.
"And I am fortunate personally to also know them as friends. Faye is certainly both, and we appreciate her more than words can say," she added.
The museum's big event this year will be "Belles, Beaus and Barbecue: A Gone With the Wind Celebration" on May 25-27. Tickets will go on sale March 1 after the ticket prices and itinerary are announced on gwtwmarietta.com this month.
Sorrow has become known around the world as a Windie. When the 75th anniversary of the book's publication was celebrated last year, Sorrow was interviewed by the New York Times.
After the article and photo slideshow were published in print and online, Sorrow was contacted by CBS's The Early Show, PBS's Antiques Roadshow, and even by a German television crew. "It was amazing how many people contacted me," Sorrow added, still in amazement.
The Windies were disappointed, however, that only a paperback, not a hard-cover edition, was released for the 75th anniversary, Sorrow said. However, last year, the Windies did have a luncheon with Patrick Curtis (Baby Beau Wilkes), Mickey Kuhn (Beau Wilkes as a child) and Ann Rutherford (Scarlett's sister Carreen).
Also at the luncheon was Morgan Brittany, who portrayed Vivien Leigh as Scarlett in the 1976 TV movie Gable and Lombard and the 1980 TV movie Moviola: The Scarlett O'Hara War, leading to her well-known role on Dallas as Pam Ewing's sister, Katherine Wentworth.
"She's beautiful and a sweetheart," Sorrow said of Brittany.
A film tribute was shown of Rutherford, who also starred in movies with John Wayne, Mickey Rooney in the Andy Hardy series of films, Glenn Miller and Errol Flynn in Orchestra Wives, Sir Laurence Olivier in Pride and Prejudice, Danny Kaye in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Red Skelton, and Jimmy Stewart.
Sorrow also has become an actress herself. She portrayed Margaret Mitchell's aunt in the Georgia Public Broadcasting documentary Margaret Mitchell: American Rebel. She can be seen rocking on the front porch as her uncle tells the young Margaret stories from the Civil War.
Sorrow was wearing the "Peachtree Dress" she sewed herself, based upon the dress worn by Scarlett as she and Rhett strolled down Peachtree Street with their baby, Bonnie Blue Butler.
She also joins with the Windies annually, dressed in GWTW costumes, to honor author Margaret Mitchell. "We always celebrate her birthday at the Margaret Mitchell House and at Oakland Cemetery, where she's buried, with a champagne toast."
GWTW "has given me more of a love for life by seeing the different tragedies they went through," Sorrow said. "It's sort of like now: A lot of people are losing everything they have. GWTW gives me an inspiration that life can be good."
Sorrow said she takes special delight in sewing fashions worn by Scarlett as a home business in addition to her full-time job with a computer company. While she does not sew wedding dresses for customers, she would like to re-create Scarlett's wedding dress and the "Drapery Dress," but she is looking for the right velvet.
She produced a three-disc DVD set of 1,500 pictures she made from the 70th anniversary of the movie's grand re-premiere in November 2009 at the Strand Theatre on the Marietta Square, which was hosted by the Marietta museum.
She makes many GWTW novelties, including aprons, bookmarks, journals, book covers and pillows "so everyone can have a little something GWTW."
Sorrow has around 500 GWTW items. Her collection started nearly 20 years ago with a Scarlett Barbie doll given to her by her husband. "I'm still working on getting a signed Margaret Mitchell book," she said.
The Sorrows have a son and daughter, four grandchildren, two dogs (Katie and Scarlett—both "with the same temper" as Scarlett) and two parakeets (Carreen and Bonnie Blue).
