DAR Museum Exhibition Showcases Changes in Comfort and Convenience in the Evolution of the American Household
DAR Museum
This exhibition explores how we have evolved from the fireplace and washing clothes by hand to the many conveniences we take for granted today like automated electric appliances, plumbing and central heating. Over sixty objects dating from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries will be on exhibit showing the "latest" devices that no one could live without. In the final analysis, however, did these devices actually save time or did they create more work?

Besides jazz, we also feature folk, rock, blues, pop, experimental, country, bluegrass, and more! As always, the live music we offer is free (but tips are encouraged for the artists). "Come on out to St. Elmo's and enjoy a relaxing evening with coffee, great food, music, and friends. A night out at St. Elmo's gives you the opportunity to support local business and local/national musicians, and it is a less expensive alternative to a night at the bar." - Charity Meals from the Arlington Coffee Shop Examiner.

House and Home
National Building Museum
House & Home, a long-term exhibition presented by the National Building Museum, takes visitors on a tour of houses both familiar and surprising, through past and present, challenging our ideas about what it means to live at home in America.
In Focus: Ara Güler's Anatolia
Arthur M. Sackler Gallery
Ara Güler, the "Eye of Istanbul," is famous for his iconic snapshots of the city in the 1950s and '60s. But with an archive of more than 800,000 photographs, Güler's body of work contains far more than these emblematic images. In December 2013, the Freer and Sackler Galleries will open an exhibition of never-before-shown works by the legendary photographer. Curated by Johns Hopkins University students in partnership with the museums, the installation will examine Güler's definition of himself as a photojournalist through the presentation of his photographs.
Featured are photographs of medieval Seljuk and Armenian buildings that Güler took in 1965. The exhibition therefore brings images of important Anatolian monuments to an American audience, highlighting Turkey's cultural history. Beyond appreciating their subject matter, the display asks visitors to think critically about the way images were created. Pushing the boundaries of traditional curatorial practice, this exhibition guides viewers into a critical debate about photography: documentation versus art.

The Capitol Steps
Amphitheater of the Ronald Reagan Building
The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them.
The group was born in December, 1981 when some staffers for Senator Charles Percy were planning entertainment for a Christmas party. Their first idea was to stage a nativity play, but in the whole Congress they couldn't find three wise men or a virgin. So, they decided to dig into the headlines of the day, and they created song parodies & skits which conveyed a special brand of satirical humor
We perform every week in Washington, D.C. at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in the Amphitheater with shows every Friday and Saturday year round at 7:30 PM!
Event begins at 7:30PM

Hampton Roads Bankshares Announces First Quarter Financial Results
- Net income available to shareholders of $0.6 million, which includes a $2.8 million branch consolidation charge
- Successful money market campaign raises more than $60 million of deposits in quarter
- Loan originations increase by 72% year-over-year to $83 million
- Nonperforming assets decline for tenth consecutive quarter
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., April 17, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hampton Roads Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq:HMPR), the holding company of the Bank of Hampton Roads and Shore Bank, today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2013. The Company reported a net profit available to shareholders of $0.6 million, which includes a $2.8 million charge related to a previously-announced branch consolidation, compared to a net loss available to shareholders of $7.9 million for the first quarter of 2012 and a net loss available to shareholders of $5.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2012.
"The Company's return to profitability in the first quarter, and a year-over-year increase of greater than $8.5 million in earnings, which includes this quarter's $2.8 million branch consolidation charge, reflect strong progress on many fronts," said Doug Glenn, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We have positioned the Company for continuing improvement in performance through a sharp focus on our core community banking franchise, greater operating efficiency, and an improved balance sheet. Going forward, we will continue to implement and refine our One Bank strategy, which is designed to consistently deliver choice, convenience and outstanding service to our customers through a strong team of bankers and the right mix of branches and electronic banking services."
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2013 was $15.9 million compared to $16.7 million in the first quarter of 2012 and $16.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012. The year over year decline in net interest income is the result of declines in average interest earning assets, partly offset by an increase in net interest margin. Net interest margin was 3.45% in the first quarter compared to 3.39% 1 in the first quarter of last year and 3.42% 2 in the fourth quarter of 2012. Net interest margin improvement on a year over year and linked quarter basis is attributable to a reduction in funding costs and a decline in nonperforming loans.Due to continued improvement in overall loan quality, the Company did not record a provision for loan loss expense in the first quarter of 2013. The Company recorded a $7.3 million provision for loan loss expense in the first quarter of 2012 and a $0.9 million provision for loan loss expense in the fourth quarter of 2012. The decision not to record a provision for loan loss expense in the quarter reflected management's consideration of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the allowance for loan losses. Ultimately, management concluded that the current level of the allowance for loan losses was appropriate given the Company's current expectations for known and inherent credit losses in the loan portfolio.

We are having somewhat of a problem with admin staff moving files around, deleting them, renaming them, putting them into folders etc. They are doing this on a shared storage area. This is causing some issues where people cant find stuff, and then results in "I didnt move it" "I didnt rename it" and so on.
So what we are looking for is something which will track everytime someone renames/moves/deletes/copies a file, the filename, when it was done, which user, what the new filename/location is. Then produce a log of that information (either after the event or live), and automatically save that log each day.
Looking around we found http://www.data-security-software.com/ , which tracks stuff pretty well but doesnt automatically save the log, requiring us to save the log each day and clear the log ready for the next day which isnt awfully practical.
Bit of a long shot I know, but anyone seen/heard of anything which will do what we want?

2010's Memes in the Mainstream - How Bed Intruder, Bros Icing Bros and Old Spice Guy Broke Through
- topic:
- News / Politics
- MemeTracker
In recent years news outlets have seemingly had fewer things to report on, so they've started playing "viral videos" to fill the fluff stories niche at the end of their broadcasts. National morning and day-time talk shows have begun to regularly include YouTube sensations as guests. There are hundreds of these crossover stories.
2010 is not the "year that the internet meme became mainstream." It is merely an extension of that moment where the lines between internet culture and mass culture have blurred.
I was struck by this realization when I found this picture of Xzibit and a kitty cat.
Yo Dawgs have become so ingrained in our popular culture that Xzibit's face (see him in the bottom left?) can signify "a copy of something inside of itself" without text.
Let's look at three more examples of internet culture breaking into popular culture.
1. 'Bed Intruder'
'Bed Intruder' was the first meme to ever top the Billboard charts. Local news coverage of Antoine Dodson's tirade against his sister's would-be rapist quickly spread through the web. The Gregory Brothers, previously internet famous for their Auto-Tune The News web series, turned Dodson's rant into a catchy song, a new tactic they'd developed as their C-SPAN/cable news schtick started to get stale. There was high demand for the single, so they released it on iTunes.
'Bed Intruder' debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 at number 89, just ahead of Grammy Award-winning country singer Brad Paisley. Revenue generated from the single allowed Dodson to buy a new home, and he appeared on national television.
The song has paved the way for future creators of humorous viral musical content to compete with mainstream artists. Soon, a YouTube remixer might be able to compete with Lady Gaga at the Grammys.
2. Bros Icing Bros
Bros Icing Bros flipped traditional media on its head. The New York Times, the country's paper of record, reported on a story they read about via the meme-o-sphere. Bros Icing Bros started as a drinking game on college campuses, wherein a participant must drink a Smirnoff Ice if he is offered one.
This game was submitted by Southern frat boys to College Humor. A friend from that office made "Bros Icing Bros" seem particularly fun, so I set out to document myself "icing" my friends in Los Angeles. The following week my video became popular across the web after embeds on several websites.
By May 21st, the phenomenon started by frat bros was mentioned throughout the blogosphere. The Times covered it 15 days later.
3. Old Spice Guy
The whimsical shower gel ads that captivated the world began as television spots in early 2010. They were internet ready: absurdist humor, Chuck-Norris-Facts-like bravado, short and well executed. They became an instant hit online. Then traditional media made an unprecedented move: they created hundreds of videos directed at specific internet tastemakers.
Each of these personalized videos spread within each of their own social networks, thus slingshotting the YouTube spots into viral platinum -- and making every boss at every company ask how to recreate this campaign for their own products.
Each of these is an example of the mainstream working with internet culture. 'Bed Intruder' went from local news to internet stardom to mainstream record sales. Bros Icing Bros went from a subcultural phenomenon to the annals of the most prestigious newspaper in the United States. Old Spice Guy was created with internet sensibilities for a mainstream audience, which then found success back on the internet. Internet memes and viral videos will continue to become a vibrant part of the patchwork of American popular culture.

What about material wealth being generated (of which, most of it accrues to the wealthy)? What about the factors that society provides so the wealthy can continue to generate and protect material wealth?
No, I was specifically referring to this comment of yours:

Aside from that, why do you have a problem with the people who generate the wealth keeping more of it than the people who don't? And I've addressed how the wealthy do pay more into the system even when you don't consider income tax.

Radisys Increases Fourth Quarter Guidance
The non-GAAP financial information is presented using a consistent methodology from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes non-GAAP financial measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by the Company should not be considered a substitute for or superior to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Forward Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements about the Company's expected results for the fourth quarter of 2012. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's expectations and assumptions, as of the date such statements are made, regarding the Company's future operating performance and financial condition, the economy and other future events or circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from the outlook guidance and expectations in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risk factors, including, among others, (a) the Company's dependence on certain customers and high degree of customer concentration, (b) the Company's use of one contract manufacturer for a significant portion of the production of its products, (c) the anticipated amount and timing of revenues from design wins due to the Company's customers' product development time, cancellations or delays, (d) fluctuations in currency exchange rates, (e) the ability of the Company to successfully integrate the business and operations of Continuous Computing and higher than expected costs of integration, (f) the Company's ability to successfully manage the transition from 10G to 40G ATCA product technologies, (g) performance and customer acceptance of the Trillium line of products, (h) other factors listed in the Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including those listed under "Risk Factors" in Radisys' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and in Radisys' subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained by contacting the Company at 503-615-1100, from the Company's investor relations web site at http://investor.radisys.com/, or at the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. Although forward-looking statements help provide additional information about Radisys, investors should keep in mind that forward-looking statements are inherently less reliable than historical information. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize (or the other consequences of such a development worsen), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecasted or expected. The Company believes its expectations and assumptions are reasonable, but there can be no assurance that the expectations reflected herein will be achieved. All information in this press release is as of January 14, 2013. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the Company's expectations.About Radisys Radisys (NASDAQ: RSYS) is a leading provider of embedded wireless infrastructure solutions for telecom, aerospace, defense and public safety applications.

Top ten isn't going to cut. You have to be #1 or 2 overall in defense if you want to amount to the success of those three teams. The Panthers were #2 in defense after 03, the Bucs were #1, and so were the Bears. Remember the Bucs were the only team out of the three to win, and that can be attributed to good QB play from Johnson. The Bears had a pitiful offense, but Devin Hester and the Defense managed enough points to get that team to the Super Bowl. The Panthers running game and defense got them to the big show, but in the end proved lacking against a dominant Patriots team.
The 49ers last year fell victim to the same flaws that brought down the previously mentioned contenders. In the playoffs, a good defense can only carry you as far as the opposing offenses mistakes. This has become the new trend in a pass dominated league. It's a lot harder to force mistakes in a league that puts so much emphasis on the QB, and receiver. Disrupting timing, and "making QBs pay" are archaic notions now. To counter balance this you have to be able to match the offensive production you allow, hence the importance of an accurate QB. Alex Smith could make plays happen, but when it counted on third down he failed. Give a QB like Brees, Manningx2, Brady, Rogers, or Ben the ball with a min 20 left in a game, and your done.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In today's daily series of investing strategies from Wall Street, analysts focus on the defensive traits of dollar-store stocks in this period of rising gasoline prices.
1. Dollar Stores Make Good Defensive Stocks Amid High Gasoline Prices
As gasoline prices continue to rise, the first assumption that many investors might make about dollar stores is that they will take a hit, with their core, lower income customers tightening purse strings to cope with the elevated fuel costs. However, Guggenheim analysts say that this assumption is flawed.
Using detailed "regression analysis," the researchers are deducing that dollar store same-store sales will actually receive a boost in this environment, as they incrementally pick up higher-income customers looking to spend more economically. From this perspective, stocks such as Family Dollar (FDO), Dollar Tree (DLTR) and 99 Cents Only Store (NDN) could actually serve as defensive names in a stressful spending environment. The average retail price of gasoline is now up 9.4% from a year ago at $3.39 a gallon, according to the latest MasterCard SpendingPulse report, which also factors in cash and check usages.As for drug retailers such as Walgreen (WAG), investors might assume that these stocks could benefit from the physical convenience of their stores at a time when the average consumer may want to cut down on travel. However, Guggenheim analysts caution that the convenience edge of drug retailers in general could be offset by their higher prices -- roughly 25% above Wal-Mart's (WMT), for instance. Guggenheim researchers say that it's not unreasonable to assume that gasoline prices could soar towards the $4 psychological mark later this year given that historically, prices have been able to rise as much as 15% to 20% in the weeks between January and the May Memorial Day holiday weekend.

Xbox One has considerably inferior silicon in the first place, even forgetting how much is cut away from developers due to the OS(s).
For some games, maybe it won't be huge. Perhaps a more stable framerate or 1080p vs 720p. Others it may be more glaring, it all depends on how hard the game pushes the technology envelope and what kind of resources the developer puts towards the respective ports.
In all things, though, the PS4 should be considerably more powerful and easier to work with.

With the attack in Connecticut just as in the Columbine and Virginia Tech shootings, we grieve for the victims and their families, while we also search in earnest for an answer to the question of who's to blame for these tragic events.
In general, I am a strong proponent of 1) not blaming others and 2) giving the benefit of the doubt.
However, when it comes to the search for increasing safety – in this case to protect our children and our educators - we need to fully analyze the situation and perform a root cause analysis to determine if there are more effective ways to try to prevent future deaths. Do we look at gun control, mental health delivery systems, school security, parents, or violent video games? Are there reasonable changes that we, as a society need to accomplish to keep our children safe?
There are also those who have put pointed fingers at schools for not adequately training teachers, staff, and students on how to adequately deal with these types of situations. As a positive psychology practitioner, I believe in judging others favorably, believing the best in everyone, and that people are basically good. As a martial artist and self-defense instructor, I believe that knowing how to defend yourself is extremely important and that we can't plan for mental illness or the aberrancy of certain individuals. We learn how to fight not because we hate those in front of us but because we love those behind us.

1992 Dodge Grand Caravan Question: how to change plugs and wires on the back side of engine?

Answer #1Jim Taddei April 02, 2010, 14:45Master
Very carefully! In some cases it may be necessary to remove the alternator on your 1992 Dodge Grand Caravan to access the rear spark plugs. Sometimes working from the bottom is also helpful, it just depends on the specific vehicle. What is boils down to is that you must remove whatever is in the way in order to access the back spark plugs, there is now "easy" way.

Yep raise that bad boy up and go at it from under unless you want to pull things off the top and I mean lots of things.

"There is a reason it's worth so much"
Hands down the best and most beautiful Ferrari ever produced, especially considering the time when it was made. Just as thrilling as an F-40 but far more controllable. It can even hold its own against many newer cars on a track as long as it has some fresh rubber...just give it a long time to get the oil temp up because there is ALOT of it in ther...

United Bancorp, Inc. Announces Cash Dividend Payment Of $0.14 Per Share
MARTINS FERRY, Ohio, Feb. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- On February 15, 2012, the Board of Directors of United Bancorp, Inc. (UBCP) declared a quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.14 per share for shareholders of record on March 5, 2012, payable on March 20, 2012. Payment is to be paid out of the account which is represented on the Company's balance sheet included in the periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as "Retained Earnings". This payment is equal to the cash dividend paid in the first quarter of last year.
UBCP Chairman, President & CEO James W. Everson in making the announcement stated the Company has completed the rebalancing of its Stockholders' Equity Accounts where accounting rules affected the balances in the Additional Paid in Capital and Retained Earnings Accounts thru the accounting for historic share dividends paid between 1996 and 2006. "With each share dividend payment, an amount equal to the difference between the shares par value of $1.00 and market price at the time of payment was required to be transferred from Retained Earnings to Additional Paid in Capital." Everson concluded by stating, "Our action of paying our dividends from Additional Paid in Capital since March 2008 has allowed for a better balance between these two accounts on our balance sheet today."
United Bancorp, Inc. is headquartered in Martins Ferry, Ohio with total assets of approximately $415.6 million and total shareholder's equity of approximately $36.2 million as of December 31, 2011. Through its single bank charter with its twenty banking offices and an operations center, The Citizens Savings Bank through its Community Bank Division serves the Ohio Counties of Athens, Fairfield and Hocking and through its Citizens Bank Division serves Belmont, Carroll, Harrison, Jefferson and Tuscarawas. United Bancorp, Inc. is a part of the Russell Microcap Index and trades on The NASDAQ Capital Market tier of the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol UBCP, Cusip #909911109.

My Comments
Trey comes out on top of course! I love how he takes a beat and goes a completely different direction than the original. Dont get me wrong Mario is my n**ga and he did his thang but Trey's version is da truth.
I don't understand why ppl are so fascinated by this topic like they dont know that there are STD's out there. Crabs isnt even an STD. U can get that anywhere. Even if he had syphillis, it's still common. Anybody who's sexually active is at risk of catching this stuff. We tend to alienate ppl with STD's or ppl who've had them. With today's statistics, STD's shouldn't even be shocking anymore. As far as him coming out and saying it, I think he was just being honest. Does having crabs make a different person? No it doesn't. If anything it makes you more aware of the risks.

who cares, Obama says go take a flyingfk at a rolling donut, its my way or the highway.///////// this scandle will be his downfall. its written in granite. impeachment coming for new years.I want to make sure you guys don't forget how "scandalous" the Obama administration has been, so I will personally fill you in with the documented facts of the outcome of each of these horrendous acts of tyranny by Obama.
Remember how VERY concerned you all were about Obama's terrible Benghazi "scandal"? Turns out the Republicans recently were busted changing the wording of the emails. So the real reason you Tea Baggers were so happy to jump on this one of many proven to be bullsh!t scandals is because...?
It's because your party are not obstructionists and conniving liars and because you guys are not willing to jump on any scandal bogus because you are really just racists. That's why.
Who do you support for Governor in Ohio in 2010?

#21595 Oct 30, 2013
Why that's terrible. That's almost as bad as a leader lying to the people about something he knew would happen. It's almost as bad as a leader doing what's best for him and not the people. Why....... those Republicans.
#21596 Oct 30, 2013
Really? Which lawsuit are you referring to?
#21597 Oct 30, 2013
I don't see how. People that live in rural areas live there for a reason. They don't like or need modern conveniences. They don't like city water, sewers, highways and so on. They like living out there on their own.
The Amish for instance do just fine without telephones, internet, cell phones, electricity, natural gas service. The Amish that don't like living that way leave the order when they become old enough or have had enough of living like that. They move. Those who had a fascination for living in a big city do so. Those who don't remain out in the country--just not practicing the Amish traditions.
There is a difference in philosophy between the left and the right. The right believes we are all individuals capable of making our own choices. If you want to be poor, don't work. If you want to be middle-class, work. If you want to be wealthy, start your own business or go to college to learn a profession. No matter what you choose, what you earn is rightfully yours.
The left looks at this country as one big commune. Some go out and earn money, other stay in the commune raising their children or just loafing around, and whatever comes into the commune is shared equally by all.
Both philosophies have their good and bad. But the question is, why are there no communes anymore????

If corporations hide their money offshore they're doing a favor to US consumers who buy their products by not charging them the embedded tax in the cost of their products. I would buy a product form that company before one with the higher cost every time.
The tax revenue squandering politician is the only one gettin his throat cut in the deal.
#21600 Oct 30, 2013
Sry XXX I have to disagree to a degree although I agree on the surface.
To agree with you totally means that we would have NO Book Mobiles, NO clinic vehicles dispatched from University Hospitals, maybe not even any roads or traffic control devices in rural areas since that tax base by itself would not contribute proportionally to those things that would benefit ALL of society for such a small amount per person. These 'free' phones usually are limited to 250 minutes per month. Not exactly a luxury.
However I do strongly resent those that can do better but find the freebee's if they underachieve, lack effort, lay back, & suck on the government programs. Unfortunately, there are too many administrators of those programs that are former ACORN like workers.
And YES! anyone that lives in a flood plain took/takes their chances by their own CHOICE. And I refuse to contribute to cabal/satellite if I have a choice or if I don't have a choice.
I am compassionate enough that I have given to the "winter care fund" on my utility bill but that is a choice & not a requirement.
#21601 Oct 30, 2013
I have a coworker that lives near the airport. He has lived there for many years and even raised his family there.
The airport decided to put in a new runway several years ago. Now the planes that use that runway take different air routes which is over his home; not that planes didn't fly over his home anyway.
I don't know which government it was, but the government decided to respond to the complaints about the airplanes. They sent workers to his house, installed all brand new windows and doors, insulation, central air so that he could close his new windows and doors and not hear the airplanes.
If noise from airplanes bothered you, WTF did you move by the airport?
I wrote this before but I'll reiterate in the event you missed it:
I'm a full time truck driver and have to use my phone for communications with my employer from time to time. I'm also a landlord which requires me to use my phone to contact workers, my father when he is working on the apartments or grounds, the bank, my tenants, the insurance company and so on.
My cell phone plan is 500 anytime minutes per month, and I can't recall anytime where I used half of that. Mind you, my cell phone is my only phone.
So the question is, if a busy guy like me doesn't need 250 minutes a month, why does a lowlife who doesn't work?
Obviously these government phone plans are not a necessity, but a luxury. They are not using those minutes to look for jobs, contact emergency services, staying in contact with an ill family member. We are forced to pay for these plans and phones for recreational use. I'm against that. Do you know what it would take to get a cell phone with a 250 per month minute plan each month? About a half of a days work at McDonalds. And most of their restaurants are always looking for any kind of help.
#21602 Oct 30, 2013
if George bush. Wouldn't have ran this country in the ground. Trying to get back at everybody that try hurting his dad , and listen to somebody. Besides war lords. Chaney and Rumsfeld. This country wouldn't be broke and suffering. I done two tours of Iraq. I seen what was happening over there, money be thrown away by the handfuls Just to bribe religious leaders not to kill each other, letting Iraq people pimp out Iraq people for 5 bucks a day. When they paid the pimp Iraq civilian 10,000 a day to work them. It was all a joke. Besides my buddies getting killed for nothing . By being put in a no win situation. So , u republicans can't talk all this shit about Obama And all your talking is coming out of the side of your ass. If you want to blame somebody. Blame bush. Obama has been trying to clean that dudes mess up from day 1. And it will take. 4 more years. After Obama To even see. If we can ever get back to the days. We had money in the bank in this country.( bill Clinton ). Surplus. And bush. Went through it like it was play money.
#21603 Oct 30, 2013
WO WO WO! "YOU REPUBLICANS"!?!? Rather closed minded there. In the 10 plus years that WE have been in Iraq & Afghanistan BOTH parties have been in control of the funding with little or NO difference so do not be partisan about who is to blame. Just another example of the TWO parties NOT being that different.
Obama has NOT closed Gitmo, has NOT ended Afghanistan, did NOT end the Iraqi war sooner than was already scheduled.
So please do not single out Geo W Bush or Repubs since there was & is plenty of reasponsability to go around, even today.
Thanx for your tours of Iraq. I have a son that served Afghanistan
#21604 Oct 30, 2013
You Republicans sure like to talk a lot about personal responsibility, until it comes time to actually take some yourselves...
#21605 Oct 30, 2013
Cynical? I have an unlimited plan & probably do not use 200 talk minutes per month plus unlimited texting. I spend $35 per month which is not a bad deal.
IF someone is hunting for a job, they could use 100's of minutes per month after month. At least WE aren't paying for their internet too which may be next.
LOOK, I have too many in-laws that are as useful as running shoes on a snail so I know the routine. They even tell each other as to which case worker to see or avoid & how to fill out forms. They collectively work the system. That's my problem & your problem, too little over site as to who is entitled to what.
I am very glad that they are in-laws & not blood.

No, no. In the real world, you got a tax break and taxes were at the lowest they had been in 50 years when the Tea Baggers were crying "Taxed Enough Already". Don't you remember? The internet does and will forever...you know. The doom of the GOP.

#21612 Oct 31, 2013
No, that would not be fair at all. Good thing it's just a paranoid, greed driven fantasy, created by the very wealthy, to make corporate fetch boys like yourself comply to an agenda that doesn't include you.
Now fair would be making these offshore tax dodging corporations and multi-millionaires pay their share instead of hard working, tax paying middle class men like myself carrying the entire nation on our backs.
#21613 Oct 31, 2013
Time for a major wake up call: We will have Sara Marie Brenner re-running or Powell City council and land developer/parking lot mobster Vincent Marginello running for Liberty Township thrustee <===not a typo!!! Add Peggy Guzzo to the mix and we are so S C R E W E D.
Point #1: You should never have a trustee who is also a land developer. Thats a major conflict of interest there.
Point #2: Sara Marie Brenner is so close to Vince Marginello they wear the same underwear. They both backed the contracting of law enforcement to Delaware County Sheriff and where against the Fire Levy that nearly shut down Liberty Township Fire department. Having VM as Liberty Township Trustee and SMB reelected councilwoman is just not logical.
Point #3: Ask each of them about community involvement. SMB will probably say that serving as councilwoman is serving the community. Ask her about her failure to pay federal payroll taxes (a convictable felony). Ask SMB about her F rating with the BBB. Now ask VM about how he helps Powell. Ask him about his parking lot fetish. Ask him if he is a member of the Powell Chamber and how he kicked out the Powell Farmers Market use of his lot after he agreed to let them use it.
Its time people do their research on candidates and quit this bullshit shot gun voting. Be aware; understand the dynamics of your community. Challenge all candidates. Get out of your SUV and think about Powells future.

Today has been a good day ca Calvary Portfolio this company has been killing me for years with their reporting finally today was removed from EX as it was due to fall off this month anyway, but to my surprise it was also removed from EQ and it was not due until July, after this I said let me test the waters one last time with BOA as i was unable to get a cli from them in over 2 YEARS and I tried multiple times. BOA finally gave me an increase $1,000.00 what I asked for now, I am at $2,000.00. So anyone else out there having trouble with cli's hang in there.
