Charles Krauthammer on Michelle Obama's DNC Speech: "I'm Sure It Was a Great Speech But I Didn't Buy a Line of It"
Question, Who was Michelle Obama talking about in her speech last night? It might have been the Obama of 2008, it certainly is not the one of 2012.
Oh, Michelle Obama was talking about Barack Obama during her speech last night? The failed president who gave himself an "incomplete" for his first term in office as is looked upon as the most partisan and divisive president ever during a presidents first four years. Wow, Michelle Obama actually had the nerve to say the following?
"I love that for Barack, there is no such thing as "us" and "them" – he doesn't care whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or none of the above…he knows that we all love our country…and he's always ready to listen to good ideas…he's always looking for the very best in everyone he meets"
Last night first lady Michelle Obama gave her speech at the DNC in Charlotte, NC talking about the man that she wanted to be given another 4 years in office. However, during her speech I really did not know who she was talking about. Her glowing comments and praises of an individual hardly compare to the individual who has been President for the past four years. Michelle Obama made it sound like Barack Obama does not have 4 years to be judged on, whether it be political or personal.
Video Hat Tip: The Gateway Pundit
"She told the story of a Gandhi. And considering the way he's conducted himself in the presidency and particularly in the campaign, with ruthlessness and determination and drive, it's not quite a plausible story…. I'm sure it was a great speech but I didn't buy a line of it."
Was Michelle Obama's speech delivered in a powerful way, yes. Was it a good speech for the first lady, yes. Did anything she say compare to the Barack Obama we have seen in the past four years, NO!

Democrats Say …"Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To" … Hmm, I Thought the Government Belonged to We the People?
A Tale of two Political Parties … So this is what "Hope & Change" looks like.
Put aside all of the political rhetoric, all of the attack ads, and all of the pleas using emotion rather than the present economic facts, if you ever wanted to know the difference between the Republican and Democrat party, one needs to look no further than the below VIDEO where Democrats put forth their true belief … "Government Is The Only Thing We All Belong To".
HUH? Looks the the fine folks at the Jawa Report are scratching their heads as well. Over at Michelle Malkin they say, hey tyrants, speak for yourself. Isn't it peculiar that every so often the Democrats get full of themselves, let down their veil and expose us to what their real mind set is. As Doug Ross opines, the Dems have let down their mask and We the People are just perplexed as to how a Party could have drifted so far to the LEFT.
In all of America's political history, you could probably not find a single opening statement at a convention more at odds with America's founding.
Make no mistake about it America, as the GOP believes and espouses and as Mitt Romney tweeted, WE THE PEOPLE DO NOT BELONG TO THE GOVERNMENT … THE GOVERNMENT BELONGS TO US!!!
The Democratic National Convention has signaled from the start an unapologetic, and at times, confrontational, liberalism, marked by details like the presence of reproductive rights activist Sandra Fluke.
A video that showed on the convention floor Tuesday night offered an unusually direct embrace of the role of government in American life: "Government," says the narrator, "is the only thing that we all belong to."
Sorry America, the Democrat Party has been hijacked by the radical, unhinged Left. This is not only not your father's or grandfathers Democrat party any more, its not the one I knew from the 80′s or 90′s either.
Democrats Drop God from Their Party Platform at the DNC in Charlotte, NC … And Drop Jerusalem is the Capital is Israel as Well
IN GOD WE TRUST … not at the Democrat National Convention or the Democrat Party Platform.
Hmm, what should we make of this? Democrats have dropped God from their party platform at the Democrat national Convention in Charlotte, NC. This is rather unbelievable. Do I believe that the many good people in America that are Democrats are "Godless", no. Do I believe that the lunatic fringe that has taken over the Democrat party that JFK would hardly recognize, yes. Hell, former President Bill Clinton, tonight's DNC Keynote speaker, is far too right to today's Democrat party. All of the Democrat pundits do not want to answer why they removed "GOD" from the platform. They claim its a distraction. Well gee Dems, who caused the distraction? Are you going to blame that on others as well?
Guess what? God's name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.
This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:
"We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential."
Now the words "God-given" have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:
"We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us."
From ABC News comes the following, For Democrats, there is no God in 201. Just for clarity to Democrat law makers, delegates and voters, this is not Fox News making this news headline. But as Weasel Zippers states, who needs God, when the Democrats have the Chicago Jesus, the Obamaessiah.
We are reminded by the Right Scoop that the Democratic Party Platform also refuses to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel this year even though they did just 4 years ago.
In the end it is obvious that the moonbats have taken over the Democrat party. Why would anyone want to insult religious people of Christian faith or Jews? Sorry, just answered my own question.

Democrats Getting Ready To Move Obama's DNC Speech From 74,000 Seat Outdoor Bank of America Stadium To 20,000 Seat Indoor Arena … Is His Popularity Waning?
Once again Barack Obama has a 'Spinal Tap' moment … is Obama's popularity waning? Nah, it's just becoming more select.
Democrats are getting ready to move Barack Obama's DNC speech from a 74,000 seat outdoor Bank of America Stadium to a 20,000 seat indoor arena. It would appear that maybe Obama and Democrats do not have enough buses for astro-turfed individuals bussed in and receiving free tickets to fill Bank of America Stadium. Democrats hardly want the optics of a half empty stadium when Obama speaks on Thursday night. It would seem that Dems are blaming the weather for the change. Hmm, and I thought that Obama could part the seas, and control the tides, weather and climate? Really Dems, now you are blaming the weather for the switch-a-roo? According to weather reports there is a 30% chance of rain. But wy not, you have blamed everything else except yourself during your Presidency.
Democrats are poised to avoid the danger of President Barack Obama accepting his party's nomination before a partially-empty stadium by shifting his speech to an indoor arena and citing 'severe weather'.
The Obama campaign have been working desperately to ensure that the 74,000-seater Bank of America stadium in Charlotte would be filled.
Buses for students from across North Carolina and even members of black churches in neighboring South Carolina have been arranged
Footage of rows of empty seats at the stadium, home of the Carolina Panthers, as Obama speaks on Thursday night would be politically disastrous – an enduring image of the contrast between his campaign of 'hope' and 'change' in 2008 and his dour, negative struggle for re-election in 2012.
So the question remains:
Marty DeBergi (rockumentary director):Reporter at the DNC – The last time TapObama toured America, they where, uh, booked into
10,000 seat arenas, and 15,000 seat venues, and it seems that now, on their current tour they're being booked into 1,200 seat
arenas, 1,500 seat arenas, and uh I was just wondering, does this mean uh…the popularity of the group is waning?
Ian Faith (Spinal Tap maganer):Obama minion & mouth piece: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no…no, no, not at all. I, I, I just think that the..uh.. their appeal is becoming more selective.
Best line of a post comes from the Vodka Pundit, President Empty Chair is trying to solve the problem of empty seats when he delivers his big speech. Brilliant! If Democrats can spring for the buses and tickets, why not umbrellas and ponchos for all?
All of this is going to translate into a suppressed and uninspired turn out for Obama in November. Not only is he not going to replicate what he did in 2008, it is going to truly pale in comparison.

The Chairman of the California Democratic Party John Burton Compares GOPs To Nazi Propaganda Chief Joseph Goebbels (VIDEO)
I guess this is what President Barack Obama was talking about when he referenced civility in politics … Welcome to Obama "Hope and Change" in 2012.
John Burton, the Chairman of the California Democratic Party provided more smear politics yesterday when he compared the GOP to Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels. Democrat John Burton took the high road, for Moonbat Democrats, and smeared GOP Vice-Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan for "lying" about the Janesville GM Plant, even though Paul Ryan was not lying.
The Chairman of the California Democratic Party already had political pundits, delegates and rivals buzzing a day before the Democratic National Convention formally opened in Charlotte, North Carolina, after telling KCBS Radio exclusively that Republican tactics had been akin to Nazi propaganda.
"They lie and they don't care if people think they lie," Chairman of the California Democratic Party John Burton told KCBS Monday in Charlotte. "As long as you lie, Joseph Goebbels, the big lie, you keep repeating it, you know."
Really? The DNC Convention has just begun and we have Democrats acting with such vile behavior. But should it really come as a surprise to the Republican party? As alliterated at Powerline, put a bunch for freaks together in one place and you get a freak show. Mitt Romney has been called in political ads, by Democrat pundits and surrogates of Obama a felon, a tax cheat, and a murderer. One would naturally think that being compared to a Nazi was right up their ally.
UPDATE I: The GOP demands an apology for outrageous Nazi comment. California Democrat Chair Burton makes an non-apology apology regarding the Nazi propaganda comment.
UPDATE: In response to the uproar over his (below) comments Monday, California Democratic Party Chair John Burton issued this statement:
"To correct press reports of my recent comments about Republican lies, I did not call Republicans Nazis nor would I ever. In fact, I didn't even use the word.
"If Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, or the Republicans are insulted by my describing their campaign tactic as the big lie – I most humbly apologize to them or anyone who might have been offended by that comment."
Really, this is the demeanor of the lunatic LEFT and their idea of an apology? I guess it all depends of what Hitler, is? You would compare some one to a Nazi propagandist by name, but claim that you did not call them a Nazi. It is really sad what the Democrat party has become. The Moonbats have become the main stream in the party.
The Gateway Pundit states, "Their policies suck. The economy is in shambles. They bet the farm on the Stimulus and it failed. They've hit rock bottom." That pretty much sums it up in a "NUT" shell.

DNC Gets Ready to Astroturf Obama's Speech, Bussing in Students and Blacks to Fill Bank of America Stadium
And I thought the NFL Carolina Panthers played on natural grass … Hope and Change has become "Smoke & Mirrors".
Get ready Charlotte, NC … the DNC Convention is about to astroturf you. The DNC is going to bus in college students and blacks in order to fill up the 74,000 seat Bank of America Stadium and not embarrass President Barack Obama and the Democrats with empty seats. In 2012 Obama is speaking at campaign stops to much smaller crowds. The enthusiasm is not there and neither are the motivated Democrats. However, like any good "smoke and mirrors" Democrat facade, The DNC and Team Obama will give away tickets for free, hell they may pay people to attend the speech.
College students from across North Carolina will arrive in Charlotte by the busload. Same with members of predominantly black churches in neighboring South Carolina.
Their goal: help fill a 74,000-seat outdoor stadium to capacity when President Obama accepts the Democratic nomination Thursday night.
Anything short of a full house on the final night of the Democratic Party's national convention will be instant fodder for Republicans eager to use empty seats as symbols of waning voter enthusiasm for Obama.
Democrats have been fretting for months over whether the president can draw a capacity crowd at Bank of America Stadium. Polls show voter enthusiasm is down, as are Obama's crowds for his battleground state campaign rallies.
How pathetic that Obama and his minions feel the need to perpetrate a fraud that The Obamamessiah is more popular than he really is. The might want to be very careful about giving tickets away, as Nice Deb opines, one never knows who might be getting free ticks.
The fraud may work for the DNC convention but eventually one must pay the piper. The gig will be up on election day. Obama and Democrats are only delaying the inevitable, Barack, you're not all that anymore.

Sand Sculpture of President Obama Washed Away in Charlotte, N.C. … Metaphor? Hmm, Looks More Like Jabba the Hut
Metaphor Alert: Democrats might as well get used to it … Obama sand sculpture washed away.
Talk about creepy. Who actually thought this was a good idea? It's bad enough this sand Obama makes the presumption of a Mount Rushmore type sculpture, but damn, this creepy thing looks more like Jabba the Hut. Barack Obama is going to have more to worry about than getting washed away by bad weather in NC, losing North Carolina in the 2012 Presidential election for starters.
A torrential downpour that struck Charlotte Saturday afternoon damaged the Mount Rushmore-style sand sculpture bust of President Obama — an ominous beginning to what many fear is a plagued convention.
Workers were trying Saturday afternoon to reform the base of the sculpture, built from sand brought in from Myrtle Beach, S.C., pounding and smoothing out the sand that had washed off the facade of the waist-up rendering of the chief executive.
From the Lonely Conservative, the Obama sand sculpture might be better put to use as a kitty litter box. HAHAHA. More biting sarcasm from Ricochet. Priceless.
Unfortunately, as every child who's spent a day at the beach well knows, sand castles–or cult-of-personality-worthy sand statues–aren't known for their water resistance. And it rains during the summertime in North Carolina. Sometimes a lot.

Hillary Clinton Staying as Far Away from Charlotte, Obama & the DNC Convention as Physically Possible … Can You Blame Her?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is sitting out the Democrat National Convention in Charlotte, NC next week. Instead, she will be half way around the world. Can any one blame her? Probably the most popular Democrat is staying as far away from Obama and the DNC convention probably for two reasons. One, to keep the stink from the convention from getting on her if she wants to run for office in 2016 and two, she would over shadow Obama causing many to think … Why not Hillary? As it is, former President Bill Clinton is supposed to provide the keynote speech. Rather bizarre, seeing that an up and comer and political superstar usually fills the role. However, when the Democrats are void of any and all you have is reminding Americans of days gone by rather than present day Obamaland, what else would one expect?
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as a sitting administration official, does not have any role at the Democratic National Convention next week in Charlotte. But she seems to gone out of her way to avoid the festivities, as she is traveling this week and next to the Cook Islands, Indonesia, China, Timor-Leste, Brunei, and Russia.
"The Cook Islands this year are the hosts of one of the most important institutions of the Pacific called the Pacific Island Forum," a senior State Department official said Thursday. "It's a group that meets yearly with a number of working groups. It's been in existence almost half a century; it's very significant."
No one with any political aspirations or and Democrat who wanted to win their political race in 2012 would want to come near this convention.

Mitt Romney pulled even with President Barack Obama in a Reuters/Ipsos poll at 43%
Don't look now, but the polls are shifting. According to a Reuters new poll, Mitt Romney, the GOP nominee, and President Barack Obama are now tied at 43% a piece. These are worrisome numbers for an incumbent polling so far under 50%. Romney has the opportunity to wow the crowd and after Paul Ryan's and Condi's speech last night the Romney numbers will only increase. In next week's Democrat National Convention Obama is going to have to explain the poor economy and another week of poor first time unemployment filing up 370,000. The prior week's figure was revised up to show 2,000 more applications than previously reported.
Republican Mitt Romney pulled even with President Barack Obama in a Reuters/Ipsos poll on Wednesday, getting a boost from his party's nominating convention in Tampa this week.
In a four-day rolling poll, Romney and Obama were deadlocked among likely voters at 43 percent each. That was an improvement for Romney from Obama's two-point lead on Tuesday and four-point lead on Monday.
"There is movement toward Romney, which is traditional for a convention," Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said. "It's small and the change is incremental, but it's been moving the last couple of days."
As reported at The American Thinker, Mitt Romney's speech tonight is expected to draw 40 million viewers. If he does reasonably well, he might end up getting a nice 6-8 point bounce in the polls and put pressure on the Democrats to match or do better. That is hard to believe seeing that it is going to be a negative anti-Romney Convention, far from the Hope & Change" of 2008. Also, the August 2012 unemployment numbers are due out the Friday following the DNC Convention.

DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz Defends Priorities USA Super PAC Ad Accusing Romney of Killing a Woman & Has No Idea What Political Affiliation an Obama Endorsed Super PAC is … Really Debbie?
Sorry, but Debbie Wasserman Schultz is a nasty rotten individual and a poor excuse for a human being … have you no shame! You certainly have no credibility.
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on Fox News Sunday and actually defended the recent Priorities USA Obama Super PAC ad that Mitt Romney was a murderer. Really Debbie, this is even a new low for you and from the things that you have said and done in the past there really was not too much room to go lower. Debbie Wasserman Schultz actually had the audacity to say that the vile ad raised fair questions. What might be even more comical than Debbie Wasserman Schultz not condemning the ad was her refusal to say that Priorities USA, Obama Super PAC was not a Democrat Super PAC. She claimed she did not know the political affiliation of Priorities USA. Really, a Super PAC run by "Bill Burton, who used to work in the White House, worked in Obama campaign in 2008?" Good grief, are you capable of ever telling the truth or do you just speak in talking points?
DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Democrats have no more credibility, they are incapable of telling a simple truth
"What I think of the ad is that there's no question that the ad raises facts, such as that Mitt Romney, when he was CEO of Bain Capital, bankrupted companies, laid off workers, cut their benefits and made millions of dollars in profits," Wasserman Schultz said on "Fox News Sunday."
"And that ad points out that there are consequences to making decisions like that, that impacted people's lives in a significant way."
Democrats have come under fire for the Priorities USA ad, in which Joe Soptic, who lost his job because of Bain Capital, appears to imply that the loss of his health insurance played a role in his wife's death.
However, the bottom feeder DNC Chair and US rep from Florida actually defended the ad because it illuminated Romney's time at Bain Capital. However, since this smear ad came out it has been proved that the facts in the ad are false and there was a 6 year time period between the time the woman's husband was laid off and lost his insurance as to when she died. Also, the woman was employed after her husband was laid off and had her own insurance. This ad more than crossed the line of ethics and civility; however, Debbie Wasserman Schultz and President Obama have yet to condemn it.
Later, as Debbie Wasserman Schultz was probably forced to telling the truth because her nose grew too much. Any novice fact checker could figure out that Priorities USA was a Democrat Super PAC.
Wasserman Schultz also pointed out that, by law, political parties and super-PACs are not supposed to coordinate activities – even at one point saying she didn't know whether those running Priorities USA, led by two former Obama staffers, were Democrats.
The Florida Democrat later backtracked on that remark on Twitter: "Clearly Priorities USA is a Democratic SuperPAC. Was trying to state the obvious: we have no control over their activities."
EXIT QUESTION: How can anyone think any Democrats are telling the American people the truth when the DNC Chair is incapable of doing so?
UPDATE I: Full transcript of John McCain and Debbie "Downer" Wasserman Schultz can be read HERE.

But yes, dirt cheap don't you think
Hope disk brakes on my bike, and for me these have been the best.
Hope Tech M4 Front Brake | Buy Online | ChainReactionCycles.com
never had Hydraulic breaks before, seem like a pain to repair, v breaks have to be the easiest thing on a bike to fix so will have to swat up on disc breaks before i change
Got Hayers Stroker Trails on my Stinky though, they're wonderful!
Another quick Hydro tip, as we're on the subject, if you find you have a lot of air in your hoses, and your brake levers pull right back to the grip when you pull them... before bleeding them straight away, cable tie them as far back (as close to the bar) as you can and leave if for a night.
For some reason it makes it all better.. unless they actually need bleeding then it won't change alot
But it's always worth a try
That's not downhill. That's "slight incline"
Good point
I don't get any of this off road stuff anyway. Give me a road bike and I'm happy
I think all of these are also essential...

We shouldn't be surprised that the Anchorman comedy team who churned out 70 Dodge Durango ads before the sequel's December release hasn't yet run out of jokes for Ron Burgundy & Co. Fans of Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues will soon be able to experience a "darker, odder, and stranger" cut of the movie. "It's like A Passage to India in length, and I think there's, like, 763 new jokes," writer-director Adam McKay tells EW, describing the new "Super-Sized," R-rated version that's an extra on the expanded Blu-ray pack, out on April 1. (The digital download of the theatrical version is available on March 11.) "There was a lot of funny stuff that almost got in the movie, or I actually liked it a little better but it wouldn't quite work," including alternate versions of the epic, cameo-heavy gang fight and a discarded musical sequence.
Unlike Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, the bonkers parallel movie that McKay cribbed together from the cutting-room floor of the first Anchorman, this cut follows the beats of the theatrical release, just with "99.8 percent new jokes," the director says. "It's really a version of the movie for comedy fans. It's not for the casual fan but I don't know if Anchorman really has casual fans."

Advisory Board
Professional Development: Teacher Reading
By Alyson Beecher, program support specialist at Pasadena Unified School District in Pasadena, Calif.
Much of the focus of this column has been on developing a school reading community and encouraging children to engage in various reading activities. However, what does the reading life of a teacher look like? How can we as administrators encourage and support reading especially professional reading among our staff?
While attending a seminar or conference, have you ever bought a copy of a book for every one of your staff members? At the end of six years of being a principal, I literally had a shelf of these books. I am a bit ashamed to admit I treated many of those books with the same attitude that students have toward uninteresting required all-class novels which is to say I barely gave them any attention unless I was required to read a part of the book for the next meeting.
Schedules for administrators and teachers fall prey to real-life demands such as urgent school site issues and the latest district mandates. Even well-intentioned staff book clubs can quickly devolve into support group meetings centered on ever-present classroom demands. Book? What book?
Here are some steps that administrators can take to help teachers achieve professional reading goals:
Conference with teachers
Meet individually or in grade-level teams to discuss interests and perceived needs for professional learning. Teachers, like students, are at various stages of learning and have different needs.
Recommend books based on individual and small-group conferencing
Just as with children, when we select a book or make a recommendation that meets a specific interest or need, the likelihood increases that the book will be read. After conferencing with teachers, develop a list of possible reading materials that address areas discussed.
Consider the length of a book when making a recommendation
Professional text tends to be dense with information and ideas. The longer and denser the book, the less apt teachers will use it for anything more than a doorstop. Begin with a shorter book or even a collection of articles.
Vary how you present information from articles and professional books
I often had to remind myself that my staff was my classroom. The same techniques that I could use to encourage students to read or present information could work for teachers. Have a grade-level team share about an article the members were assigned to read. Or during a meeting, have different groups each read different articles on the same topic, and share thoughts or post ideas on chart paper for everyone to see.
Do staff booktalks
Yes, we seem to be very good at booktalking a favorite novel to our students, but why do we seem to forget this when talking with adults? Scholastic Book Fairs® President Alan Boyko is one of the most well-read and passionate booktalkers I have had the privilege to meet. Whenever I hear him speak about a novel or a professional text, I immediately want to pick it up and read it.
Take advantage of audiobooks or DVDs
Some books are accompanied by a DVD to enhance or expand on the information, and they can be used to engage teachers with the material being presented. An example would be
Choice Words
by Peter H. Johnston, which is available in audiobook. Rather than reading the book in isolation, teachers can listen to Johnston read the book in a group setting and then discuss ideas being presented.
Model professional reading and the application of acquired knowledge
Some weeks I share a few articles, a title of a meaningful book I am reading, or links to interesting websites or web-based ideas with staff. Other weeks, I share much more. Sometimes, I share with all of the staff as a general FYI, and other times I send something to just one or two individuals. Encourage staff to also share the gems that they have discovered and provide them with the structure and opportunities to do this.
Make professional reading a priority
It is easy to let other issues crowd out our own learning. As the lead teacher and lead reader, principals must know how to help keep the focus and to also know when to change focus.
Take time for fun reading as well
Though professional reading is important, dont forget to share that special picture book or novel with staff. Reading for fun is just as important as professional development. And dont forget to keep it enjoyable and meaningful.

Stechman again
Hi again Doc-It occurs to me that I'll check next week when I'm back at St Joseph to see when the John P that is there was interred and, for that matter, to make sure that he was buried there and not just on the headstone. I'll let you know.

St Joseph-Stechman
Hi Doc-I posted the picture you requested for Ablonia (Helen) Stechman. She is buried with John P. Stechman (1874-1951) These dates don't match the dates you have for Helen's John Stechman. I originally couldn't find her as she was buried under 'Helen'. I also posted a picture of the headstone for Rose Stechman. Agnes Stechman would be buried to the left of John and Helen but there is no headstone present there. I'll take a picture of the lot to post to the page if you like.

RE: Groh headstone
I took all these pics yesterday. They were not in the local I originally mentioned.
Stumbled upon it again and took pics of the 6 stones around the weathered stone with Groh on it..
I did a gps on the Edam stone for a location.

I have a Canon IP3600 and I have tried everything. The instructions on icing Images(whose sheets I am using), calling in and doing what was suggestioned which was holding the sheet in the freezer for 5 seconds before printing. I clean before each print.
When I looked at the sheet it is clearly more of an impression along with carryover ink.
I am willing to get a new printer. Any suggestions on models that do not have this problem??????

CS30 Replacing the holding tank - poly or stainless???

Anyway, some things to watch for. When we first started sailing our boat ( which would be when we first started sailing ) It would fill with water and the head would be full of crap which we would have to clean up. I'm slow in the uptake but even I figured out that something was wrong, after all who could enjoy sailing if you have to clean out the head and bilge after every sail. The answers came from another CS30 owner in our marina.
The head. It has no vented loop between the holding tank and head. If the joker valve goes it backfills when the boat heels. He suggested putting in a new head. One that the pump locks in place when not in use adding another layer of protection from backfilling. Clean out a crap filled head a couple of times and the $150 seems very cheap. If your head does not have a pump that locks in place think about replacing it ( this is why the head to holding tank hose was replaced but the discharge hose wasn't ).
Cockpit drain hoses. Agian the hoses here where the originals and in very bad shape. Had the wife fill the cockpit with water and watched them drain. they leaked very badly and in one spot the water poured through. The cockpit though hull is above water but when in a good heal the water was pouring in, and as new sailors, and not very competent we realy has her healed ( OK I realy had her healed ). So check you cockpit hoses and see what shape there in, good chance they may have been replaced already. To check you need to get to the end of the hull through the cockpit locker. It was a horrible job replacing them, I'm a big guy, its a tight fit over lots of sharp stringers, to get to hoses siezed to the through hulls. After two days of pain and missery a passer by on the dock told me he had owned a CS30 and I just needed to remove the propane locker to have good access to the cockpit hoses without going through the cockpit. I felt like killing him.
How are you enjoying the boat?

My Journey to the Land of Milk and Honey
- Comments (18)
- Recommended (4)
- View profile
My journey to the land of milk and honey is but a dream come true. It's not because I'm going to work there for a living but because I will be speaking to the different faces of women across the U.S. I will loudly echo our pains and agonies in carrying the heavy crosses of poverty and violence as well as our small victories and aspiration for a better life. I will be also representing the joys and struggles of being a correspondent of World Pulse Voices of the Future. Being an award -winning correspondent of a prestigious global women media network is a more than a dream come true.
The United States is considered a land of milk and honey; a dream home of millions Filipinos. About 1.7 million Filipino immigrants are in US working to have decent lives and send money at home. Filipinos are the second-largest immigrant group in the United States after Mexican immigrant according to Migration Policy Institute. United States is already a home to about 1.4 million native-born US citizens who claim Filipino ancestry.
I was very excited with the thought of my journey but my travel anxieties prevailed over my excitement. The thoughts of strict immigration officers at the airport, the important stuffs I might miss or lose caused me a terrible headache by the time I've done with all the interviews and baggage check ups at the Philippine Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
My twelve hours fly from the Philippines to Vancouver was a journey of uncertainty of scenarios to happen. My delicious dinner of rice, chicken afritada and green vegetable salad gave me a wonderful feeling of overnight trip to Vancouver. My tension subsided and eventually my headache was gone.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon of October 11 when my feet touched the grounds of Vancouver International Airport, Canada. I took a short glance of another popular country where Filipinos are taking their fate for a better future. Nearly half a million Filipinos are in Canada as to 2006 Canadian Census. They work as nurses, nannies, service workers, care givers, farm workers, etc.
I found my easy way going through the Canadian Immigration contrary to my expectations. I was so thankful of the Philippine Airline personnel who escorted me all the way.
But as I entered the US Customs and Boarder Protection of the Department of Homeland Security, I felt a high level of tension in the air. I sensed the atmosphere of suspiciousness as I looked at everybody's faces. Nobody was smiling. I tried to be cordial and polite and had to smile to those who were checking my documents.
The first guy who checked my travel documents asked me if I have some food in my hand carried bag. I said just a few biscuits.
"Then, why did you not declared that you have food?"
"Oh! I'm sorry! I t was an error", I said.
I was then advised to proceed to the next door. I handed my passport to the person in charge at the front desk. He looked at me up and down and asked me why I didn't get a new visa. I could hear the pumping of my heart.
"It's still valid and my travel agent told me so".
"Is your travel agent the US Embassy?"
"No, but the US Embassy told me it is still valid and it is in their website".
He gave me back my passport and told me to proceed to the next door. I felt a sort of intimidation but I kept my confidence at the highest level. As I seated waiting for my turn, I asked the woman seated besides me if that was the usual process of US immigration checks. She didn't know she said.
I entered the next door and got another interview. The officer looked at my passport and visa. He scanned my finger prints and took pictures of me. He asked me if I had the invitation of my travel. I said yes. After which he told me to go to another door and advised me to present my papers.
The guy at the window was in his late forties. He's brown skinned, around 5'9 feet tall and wearing eye glasses. I didn't know if he's a Filipino or not. I've looked around and I was the only one waiting on the line. I wondered!
The interview was quite extensive – asking me about my purpose in entering US, why I was in Canada, what is my profession, what is WorldPulse, the last article I wrote and the issues I'm writing about, etc. He was not looking at me while asking; he was busy examining my travel documents. I was answering confidently and calmly by mentioning all my credentials.
"Can I show you my invitation?" "Oh sure!" he said.
I handed to him my World Pulse invitation and the photocopied letter stating World Pulse as a charity organization. He asked me what about the photocopied document. "Maybe that's a proof that they are a charity organization", I told him.
The waiting was an agony. I don't have any hint of what will be the result. I observed he was thoroughly examining all my travel documents. I felt my whole body parts were not connected with each other while sitting far across.
I felt so tired and tensed but I keep on reminding myself to consistently show my level of confidence. So many negative thoughts were playing in my mind. I was worried why it took too long for him to process my documents. I knew that even though I had a visa, it is still not a guarantee that I will be allowed to enter US. Looking far across the table of the Custom Officer, I was trying to get some cues of negative expression from him.
After 15 minutes or more, the Officer stood up and came to me. I stop breathing momentarily.
"Congratulations for the Award! Hope you enjoy your Tour!" giving me a warm handshake and a smile as he handed me back my travel documents.

Document - China: Further information: Huang Qi jailed as prisoner of conscience
Further information on UA: 172/08 Index: ASA 17/067/2009 China Date: 1 December 2009
HUANG QI JAILED AS pRISONER OF CONSCIENCE
Human rights activist Huang Qi, who gave legal advice to victims of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan province, has been sentenced to three years' imprisonment following an unfair trial. He is a prisoner of conscience, and should be released immediately and unconditionally.
Huang Qiwas sentenced by the Wuhou District People's Court in Sichuan's capital, Chengdu, on 23 November. The court had found him guilty of "unlawfully holding state secrets." Several dozen police surrounded the court, preventing Huang Qi's supporters, mostly local women, from entering. Police beat some of the supporters. Only his wife and mother were allowed to attend the hearing. Huang Qi's lawyers, in Beijing, were not able to attend.
On hearing that he had been sentenced to three years' imprisonment, Huang Qisaid he would appeal,The judge stopped Huang Qi from speaking further, and asked the police to remove him fromthe courtroom.
Huang Qi is in poor health. While in custody earlier this year, he said he had been diagnosed as having two tumours: one on his stomach and another on his chest. It appears that he is not receiving adequate medical treatment in custody.
PLEASE WRITE IMMEDIATELY in Mandarin Chinese or your own language:
calling on the authorities to release Huang Qi immediately and unconditionally, as he is a prisoner of conscience;
urging them to ensure Huang Qi has access to any medical attention he may require, while he remains in custody;
urging the authorities to guarantee that Huang Qi will not be tortured or otherwise ill-treated;
calling on them to end the use of vaguely-defined charges relating to "state secrets" to crack down on human rights defenders.

HUANG QI JAILED AS pRISONER OF CONSCIENCE
ADditional Information
Huang Qi was detained on 10 June 2008 because of his work on behalf of the families of five primary school pupils who died when school buildings collapsed in the Sichuan earthquake of May 2008. He had been attempting to take the local authorities to court.
He was tried behind closed doors 14 months later, in August 2009. The criminal proceedings against Huang Qi fell far short of China's legal regulations and international human rights standards. Huang Qi was denied access to his family and lawyer while in detention, on the grounds that the case involved "state secrets." He was first allowed to meet with his lawyer, Ding Xikui, on 23 September 2008, after more than 100 days detained incommunicado.
On 2 February 2009, the Wuhou District People's Court in Chengdu failed to publicly announce the schedule of his trial, as required by China's Criminal Procedure Law. The next day, on the pretext of protecting "state secrets," the Court prohibited Ding Xikui from making photocopies of case documents to prepare Huang Qi's defence.
During the 5 August trial, the court forbade witnesses from testifying on Huang Qi's behalf, again citing "state secrets."
Huang Qi was treated inhumanely in custody, including being interrogated by police for many hours at a time, and subjected to sleep deprivation. The authorities turned down repeated requests by Huang Qi's family to release him on bail to await trial. His wife has been barred from visiting since the trial on 5 August 2009.
Huang Qi had been jailed as a prisoner of conscience from August 2001, for "inciting subversion of state power" because he had published the names of people arrested after the 4 June 1989 military crackdown on pro-democracy activists, on his Chinese-language website www.64tianwang.com. He was beaten in prison. He was released on 4 June 2005. After this he continued to maintain his website, and helped victims of human rights abuses to sue the government or document and publicize their cases to increase pressure for government accountability.

Australia continued their marked improvement this Ashes after Nathan Lyon's four-wicket haul on the first day of the fourth Test reduced England to 238/9. After trailing 0-2, Australia made a strong bid for victory at Old Trafford before rain came to the rescue of the hosts on the final day, allowing them to retain the Ashes. However, with the series still to be won by England and Australia in with a chance to draw by winning the remaining two matches, Lyon led a disciplined bowling attack to put Alastair Cook's men in serious trouble on Friday. England, after winning the toss were extremely watchful with Joe Root and Cook taking the side to a sedate 34-run stand before Shane Watson broke through in the 18th over, snaring Root through the DRS - the Hot Spot showed a clear edge through to Brad Haddin even as the on-field umpire ruled him not out. Jonathan Trott, who has struggled for form this summer, was more positive than the openers and was willing to take on the Australians. While Cook was happy to dig in and drop anchor, Trott played some delightful shots to show that his captain was not far from the mark in deciding to bat on a slow pitch. However, he became Lyon's first wicket, when on 49, he was caught at short leg by Usman Khwaja. Kevin Pietersen, fresh from a match-saving century last week, danced down the track off the first ball he faced against Lyon but luckily for the batsman, the ball landed safely in the outfield. Pietersen was clearly a man with a mission and executed some daring shots to let Australia know that there was one English batsman who was not going to be cowed down. However, his 35-ball stay at the crease, which yielded 26 runs, came to an end after he edged Lyon to Haddin as England slipped to 149/3. Four runs later, Jackson Bird, who replaced Mitchell Starc in this Test, pocketed his first Ashes wicket, trapping a well-set Cook for a painstaking 51. The England captain's dismissal marked the start of a dramatic collapse with Lyon taking two more wickets and Peter Siddle seeing off the dangerous Matt Prior. Ryan Harris had bowled some impressive spells but was still the most expensive of the Australian bowlers. He did get his due much later in the day, when he removed Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann in the space of six overs as England crashed to 214/9. James Anderson, the last man in, threw his bat at everything and added some crucial runs with Tim Bresnan. Australia have for the second successive Test match, taken the upper hand early and it would now be up to their batsmen to keep England on the mat for the other four days.

Norman Van Aken doesn't shy from the challenge of launching a new restaurant. Norman's 180 (180 Aragon Ave.) is slated to debut at the Westin Colonnade in Coral Gables by the end of 2009, punctuating the chef's two-and-a-half-year absence from the South Florida restaurant scene. Since 2003, he has kept a watchful eye on his flagship Norman's (4012 Central Florida Pkwy.; 407-393-4333) at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando.
"[It's] exciting. I think that is where most people expect me to have my 'main stage,' and so to return is a bit like coming back to that energy and opportunity," Van Aken explains. "I am grateful and happy for the chance to share my passion for cooking and serving once again."
Van Aken closed his well-known place on Almeria Avenue in 2007, citing "greater opportunities... in hotels." Now he's trying something new with 180, a concept he describes as "broadly American." The menu will be a simple expression of ethnic diversity through small plates, salads, pizzas, bowls, sides, and sweets. He is adamant he won't abandon his Latin-Caribbean base. "They will recognize me," says Van Aken, who lives in Key West. "I will be there cooking along with our team. We are creating 180 to have a concept that complements Norman's, not duplicates it."

Region: Coral Gables/South Miami
Interestingly, 180 is housed in a building where Van Aken at one point contemplated settling the original Norman's. The space will be an expression of his new enthusiasm. "When we go out on the road, I rarely hit the 'four-star' places any longer," Van Aken says. "I look for more simple and 'village' expressions... roadside joints, street stalls, taquerias, lunch counters — places where you smell smoke and spices as you park the car. My evolution is a kind of stripping away to what I find more honest, essential, and what I care most deeply about."

Behind Enemy Lines - New Orleans
Sunday night presents to us the biggest game the Carolina Panthers have played in nearly 5 years. If they Panthers can somehow pull out a victory against the Saints in New Orleans and the division title is the Panthers to lose. A loss in New Orleans would force the Panthers to require a little help from here on out from around the league.
Either way, Panthers fans once again are excited about a December game, and that is something worth celebrating in and of itself.
The Saints also know how important this game is.
From NOLA.com
"We know what's at stake," Drew Brees said. "... This game is the most important game of the season."
Drew Brees and the Saints are notorious for downplaying the significance of individual games. Not this week.
Saints coach Sean Payton agrees.
"It is playing an important game with regards to the division," Payton said. "It's a Sunday night game at home, those are things that you get excited about. I think at this point in the year playing in a division race like we are, I think both teams will be ready and excited.
According to NOLA.com , Saints defense is struggling on third down....
But since holding Dallas to 0-for-9 on third down Nov. 10, that number has been creeping back up. The San Francisco 49ers converted 6-of-15 (40 percent) of their third downs, while the Atlanta Falcons were 6-of-12. The Seahawks were 7-of-14 on third down Monday, a season high for the Saints' defense. In contrast, Carolina allowed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to convert just 1-of-10 third downs last Sunday. "We've just got to execute," said Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro. "We haven't been getting off the field as much on third down."
Giving up 50% of third down conversions over the last month is nothing to write home about and has much to do with why the Saints are 4-3 in the last 7 games. Looks for heavy doses of Mike Tolbert on third downs to loosen up the Saints defense even more.
Drew Brees knows the Panthers Defense is top shelf...
"They're excellent," Brees said. "There's not a defense that's playing better than these guys. In every statistical category they're tops. Playing with a lot of confidence, they don't have a weak link."
Brees sees the game on Sunday night as an opportunity for vindication. He has a national platform to show the rest of the league the Saints are not the team that was whooped on Monday night, but rather a Superbowl contender. I expect to see the Saints come out throwing on Sunday night.
If the Panthers can keep it close in the first half, I like their chances. I am not sure they can keep up with New Orleans on their home turf if they go down by two scores. Mike Shula needs to have a solid game plan to move the ball efficiently from the first whistle. A few early punts could be the difference in the game.

Honestly I ain't worried about the Saints right now. We are 2-0 this season beating teams coming off Monday night games.
Pros and Cons.
Pros- Saints have Brees Graham and the home crowd behind them in the dome.
Cons- They are coming off a Monday night game and they stayed an extra day up in Seattle because of the plane broke down. The will be extra tired in the process and having less time to prepare and coming off a lose.
Pros and Cons
Pros- Panthers coming off a blow out against the Bucs at home and we are on an 8 game streak right now. We have the game tape from Monday night game for our guys to study and see what the Seahawks did to keep Saints down. Plus we are rested up and getting back CJ and a few other guys from injuries for this game.
Cons- Cams struggles at times with his passing and our running game has struggle the past few weeks or so. Aside from Tolbert. We are in the dome which will hurt them at times and that might cause them to make mistakes on both sides of the ball.
Overall it looks like we have the upper hand on a Saints team that is going to be tired very little to prepare for us and coming off of a lose. We have to take care of business against them. It will be a tough game. But this game should be ours with no problem.
Good break down. I hope your assumptions are correct.
The only thing I'm predicting is a lot of fights especially in the second half. That means the Saints will be frustrated and when that happens they are losing and start trying to intimidate the better team. I say that's the Saints MO. So bring it on WhoDat Gate.
This game might depend on the play of our safeties not biting on play action. If our D maintains their discipline on play fakes we could win this game walking home.
But we can play with anybody.

we need to be as efficient in this game on offense as we were against new england.
what we've given up two touchdowns all season in the first half? something like that right?
1 TD, long pass play against Miami, iirc
edit: just 1Q
Time stamp: 4:41 am. Dedication at its finest.
what we've given up two touchdowns all season in the first half? something like that right?
Correct, ATL was the first 1st half TD, & MIA was the first 1st qtr TD...
The Panthers have what it takes to take down the Saints.The defensive front seven will dominate the line of scrimmage, shutting down New Orleans' rushing attack and putting consistent pressure on Brees. As we've seen in the past, Brees isn't as effective in games in which he's hitting the turf on a regular basis.On offense, Cam's elusiveness in the pocket will be a problem for New Orleans. His ability to stretch plays with his legs will allow his receivers to get open downfield for a few huge plays, and he's been completing those passes with regularity of late.We're witnessing a changing of the guard in the NFC South. Carolina is rising, and the Panthers will take control of the division with a stunning road win on Sunday night.
what the font? did you type that or copy it?
Have any of you thought that if we beat the Saints Sunday...............we will more likely have to beat them in Dec to take the division...............and then.......
We may have to beat them a 3rd time in the playoffs.........
Is beating this team 3 times in one year let alone in such a short time realistic?
i wonder we will defer the kickoff if we win the toss. It will be good to get them in an early 3 and out then let our offense have one of their long patent clock killing drives that ends in TDs. Most definitely we are going to have to score some TDs. I really think our guys will be prepared for this game. We get them down early and they go into full pass mode, I like the chances of our pass rush eating Brees up. This is be a tough game regardless. It is a division with two teams with a lot of history with each other and being that the division is on the line. I am excited. I will have a beer cracked open in front of the tv come sunday night
I am more nervous about these upcoming games than I was the night I lost my virginity.....not that I really remember that long ago..but I'm just gonna go ahead and say that I was.
that is always possible.

I know this, I'd rather play the Saints in Charlotte in the playoffs, than in the Dome.

Im man enough to say that Im jealous of your sig.
But mine's classier, its in black n white. . . thats 400 speed film, baby, crisp n clean. Just the right amount of graininess so you know that poo is legit.
we have started slow offensively the last couple of games. We can't afford to do that against the saints. They'll come out firing wanting to prove the last game against Seattle was just an aberration. The saints don't like playing from behind. If we jump on them early, D gets good pressure on Brees and make him dance around a little bit, we'll have them chasing the game and when they chase the game they are prone to mistakes. Our guys know what's at stake.
correct me if I'm wrong but didn't that td in miami get called back and they kicked a fg
I believe any logical fan, especially of this organization understands that. With a sweep of Nawlins, it will indeed be HUGE, why? Because it gives us the #2 seed and a 1st round bye.
Maybe, but we'd still need to win the other games we play against ATL and NYJ. Easier than beating the Saints? Yes, but not a given.
Alot of people seem to be thinking that the Saints will be a push-over, that we will stroll onto the field and they will be in such awe of Cam and Co that they will just forfeit the game.... better put your reality caps back on guys, this will be a slugfest right down to the wire. Could come down to who has the ball last...
9-3 Panthers vs 9-3 Bucs from '08.................. I think we'll do to the saints what we did to the Bucs... I think we rack up over 200 yards rushing on the Saints, giving their offense only around 6 or 7 total possessions.

No, I think a lot of people are believing in their team. And.............we have every reason to believe! That is what is so awesome about this season.
so ready for sunday....

Law & Order: Caregiver threatens to kill disabled man
Post-Tribune staff reports February 7, 2014 5:20PM
Updated: March 10, 2014 6:35AM
Caregiver threatens
to kill disabled man
A 51-year-old rural Portage woman was temporarily committed to Porter Starke Services after allegedly telling police she would kill a 57-year-old mentally and physically disabled man, for whom she is the caregiver.
At about 5:18 p.m. Thursday, police were called to the home for a verbal disturbance and found the suspect was drunk and had been arguing with her charge. Although the man was in a wheelchair, the woman said he kicked her and she wanted police to "do something," or else she would kill him.
After she was arrested for felony intimidation, the woman begged the officer to take her to Porter-Starke, saying she was depressed and wanted to kill herself.
Driver crashes, faces DUI charge
Jacqueline Randazzo, 31, of Michigan City, was arrested for misdemeanor drunken driving after a single-vehicle crash at about 11:25 p.m. Thursday at Division and Smoke roads, south of Valparaiso. Randazzo told police she overcorrected when her red 2006 Ford Escape started to slide; the SUV ended up lying on its driver's side.
Ex-friend won't leave, arrested
Daniel Ittel, 25, of Valparaiso, was arrested for felony residential entry at 6:40 p.m. Thursday at an apartment at 1903 Chicago St. The 54-year-old resident told police Ittel walked uninvited through the unlocked front door and went into her son's bedroom. Told to leave, Ittel reportedly said to the son, "I don't care. I'm not leaving, you're my only friend," according to the police report. The victim said Ittel used to be a family friend but was no longer welcome.
The residents told police they had not spoken with Ittel since October 2013, when he was arrested for trespassing after refusing to leave the same apartment.

Finish line in sight for horse racing stoushPUBLISHED: 02 Jun 2014 04:19:36 | UPDATED: 02 Jun 2014 04:19:36PUBLISHED: 02 Jun 2014 PRINT EDITION: 02 Jun 2014
John Stensholt
Hopes are rising for a resolution in the stoush over governing funding of horse racing in NSW, with the probability increasing that Racing NSW could receive additional revenue to cover expenditure on its popular Championships series.
Racing NSW chief executive Peter V'Landys has led a campaign over the past two weeks for the NSW government to release more funding to racing, arguing it takes a higher cut of wagering than its counterpart in Victoria.
V'Landys has previously said the figure could be as high as $85 million. Racing NSW has argued it deserved funding for The Championships, which attracted a substantial increase in wagering and public interest in April.
It is understood the NSW government is seriously contemplating restoring $10 million in funding for The Championships and could potential release more funds to racing over a period of several years.
Racing NSW administrators are set to meet with NSW government officials, including Premier Mike Baird, as early as this week.
While Racing NSW does receive less funding from its state government than Racing Victoria, the respective deals can be traced back to TAB privatisations in both states in the 1990s.
In essence, racing authorities in Victoria were able to strike a better deal with its state government than its counterparts in NSW.
For example, Racing Victoria negotiated payments such as a share of gaming machine revenue and some sports betting, both of which were not part of the NSW deal.
Another difference between the states is the share in electronic wagering business Trackside. Racing NSW sold its share for about $150 million to Tabcorp to fund the building of the new grandstand at Royal Randwick. Victoria retains its share, worth an estimated $15 million annually.
While Racing Victoria carries some debt, while Racing NSW has about $50 million in cash in the bank according to its 2013 annual report. V'Landys has said the funds are earmarked for infrastructure projects.

Bridge Bites: A couple of uppercuts
Date: March 21, 2012
by: Brian Gunnell | American Contract Bridge League
This time we take a look at "trump promotion." Put yourself in the West seat, defending 4♠.
To start with, please locate a sheet of paper or your morning slice of toast (marmalade side facing up). Place it diagonally across the diagram, so that only the West and North hands are showing. As West, your opening lead is the A ♣ on which your partner plays the seven and Declarer the nine. Next, you cash the K♣ (everyone following the suit), then the A♥. You've cashed your three winners, so where's the setting trick? A Diamond ruff? No, your partner had two Clubs and can hardly have more than two Spades. He cannot have 2-9-0-2 distribution — with that shape he would surely have pushed on to 5♥. The only other possibility is a trump trick. Yes, indeed! The magic card here, amazingly enough, is the 6♠! You lead another Club, and if East ruffs with the six, he forces Declarer to overruff with an honor, promoting a trick for your J♠! This form of trump promotion is known as an uppercut, and East must ruff with the smashing six to deliver the knockout blow. Ruffing with the feeble four would be no more than a tickle under Declarer's chin.
Next, imagine that East is Declarer, playing in 4♥. South cashes the A♠, K♠ and leads a third Spade, which North ruffs with the J♥. Is this another uppercut, promoting South's 10♥? No, Declarer simply pitches away his Diamond loser and makes his contract. Let's have a do-over. After cashing the top two Spades, South cashes the K♦ and then leads the third Spade. Now Declarer really is done for; this time the uppercut sets the contract.

NCIS Interview: Mark Harmon on Gibbs' Futureby Steve Marsi at . Comments
NCIS executive producer Shane Brennan's tease that Mark Harmon's Gibbs will be forced to make a "life-changing decision" this May has fans wondering what that entails.
Theories are in no short supply, but one of the more alarming is that Gibbs' actions, which "will impact every member of the team," mean Harmon may be leaving the show.
Is there any legitimacy to that? The actor himself weighed in to EW.
"I don't think so, but I don't know for sure," Mark Harmon said. "That may not stop them from getting rid of me, but I'm having a blast. That hasn't changed since day one."
"I have no plans to leave. I have a contract with significant more time on it. That may not stop the producers from getting rid of me, but I have no plans to take myself out."
That settles that, but still leaves the question of what crisis will befall his character at season's end and how it ties into Rena Sofer's lawyer/lover character, M. Allison Hart.
What will the ramifications of Gibbs' big decision be?
"Whatever [fans are] thinking, they're wrong," Harmon says.
"It is never the obvious [thing] on this show. As always, these writers make you think something but it is almost never what you think will happen. I think that it's good to keep people guessing, especially after seven years."
"I think it is time to see these people away from their job and with their girlfriends or family. It is time to let out some of those nuggets. We've earned them. Fans come for the procedure but we have earned the right to break off another piece of the puzzle."
Getting back to the big May season finale mystery, Harmon hints that although Sofer's character plays a part, however "she is not alone. Others will play a part, [too]."
As for what brings another attractive Gibbs adversary, D.C. madam Holly Snow (Dina Meyer), back to NCIS? "Gibbs will use her in an investigation," explains Harmon.
"She is an interesting ally, an odd ally, an uncomfortable ally in some ways. But the writers like what Dina did before. A madam character is really pretty fascinating."
Any NCIS season finale theories? What's in store for Gibbs? Are you satisfied with how the season has been shaping up so far? Comment away.

Don't get rid of Mark Harmon and he doesn't need a steady girlfriend, we single women like him just the way he is. Would be nice to see more of Palmer. The show is great and I've purchased all of the seasons so far. Cutting any of the cast would be a disaster. Have a great season and enjoy.
NCIS is the greatest and I have watched Mark Harmon grow over the years and I only watch his show and NCI LA all week. The show is the glue that makes it all work. Like peanut butter sandwich without the jam. But that lawyer is not good enough for him. What happened to a real woman that cooks, family oriented and a suportive womans but works out in the field of law/order.
If Mark Harmon leaves the show so will I - without him there would be no show!!!
If Mark Harmon leaves the show, I probably will not watch it. He is the one that makes the show.
Please please please from a massive fan in Australia DO NOT GET RID OF GIBBS. U will totally ruin the show if u get rid of mark Harmon.
Mark Harmon must stay. The cast, as is, is perfect. Peripheral characters are fine but, Gibbs, Tony, Ziva, Timothy, Abby and Duckie are the lifeblood of the show.
Gibbs can't leave the show...he is the show.....however Ziva is my favorite...love it when she kicks butt. Can't see Gibbs with that lawyer...I just don't like her. Rather see him with Holly the hooker

I feel that Gibbs is the show how ever i would like to see some of the J.A.G characters that officially launched N.C.I.S somehow make their way back into the show's plot somehow especially since i believe that Rabb could easily play the director of N.C.I.S and it would add an extra little tension between Gibbs and the director if Gibbs had to answer to a man he almost put in jail..... what do you all think about that
if Gibbs leaves ncis I will stop watching the show.and alot more will too.not having him on the show is crazy.he makes the show..
