ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The Times Herald-Record of Middletown on a state public corruption commission holding its first meeting in secret.
July 21
The Moreland Commission appointed by Gov. Cuomo to investigate public corruption, especially in the state Legislature, got off to a rocky start last week when it convened for its initial meeting in private, with no notice to the public.
Because this is an advisory board, its executive director said, it is not covered by the state's Open Meetings Law.
Fair enough.
It's not the first body at the state, county or local level to read the law that way. But New Yorkers do not yet have a very clear picture of just what this commission will be doing.
Even if initial discussion centered on specific allegations of illegal activity, which is extremely unlikely this early in the process, that talk could have gone on in an executive session as part of the first meeting.
The commissioners should have welcomed the chance to introduce themselves, explain what they hope to accomplish and give New Yorkers at least a hint of how they intend to proceed.
They can open their meetings to the public any time they want, even if they believe the Open Meetings Law does not apply to them.
Because much of what it hopes to accomplish will involve investigations similar to those conducted by district attorneys, the commission will not be seen doing much of its more-important work in public.
Fair enough, again.
Most people understand that publicity while such investigations are going on can tip off potential targets and otherwise compromise efforts to track down evidence.
Now, the commission has invited the public to take part in three hearings in September in New York City, Buffalo and Loudonville.
Commissioners want to get the public's advice in three areas: the adequacy of laws dealing with unethical behavior, the electoral process and campaign finance.
Those are related to, but not identical with, the commission's own description of its mission. That list includes a closer look at the laws on the books dealing with corruption and misconduct.
In New York, that may be the most important subject of all, because, for all those members of the Legislature who have ended up in jail, others pursue activities that might be considered illegal except for one thing: They make the laws, so they decide where to draw those ethical lines.
In addition, the commission promises to dig into the areas of campaign contributions and their disclosure, as well as the activities of those who lobby and the ways they influence legislation.
Along with that, the commission plans to look at how well state and local bodies responsible for enforcing all these election laws carry out their duties.
So we really are getting two for one with this commission. While its investigators look for criminal activity under the existing laws, the commissioners are asking the public to talk about how those laws should be enforced or changed.
Those changes, no matter how necessary, would still have to go through the Legislature to become law.
That might be the first question to ask at the public hearing. How will the commission accomplish that, when so many have failed for so long?
The Times Union of Albany on Gov. Andrew Cuomo continuing to take large campaign donations while urging finance reforms.
July 18
A million dollars a month is at once an impressive and excessive amount of money for almost any politician to raise, especially one still quite popular more than a year before what would seem to be a rather easy path to re-election.
Political contributions of $750,000 are simply excessive — not impressive at all — especially when they require that politician to suspend his admirable quest for changes to New York's campaign finance laws and instead take advantage of their loopholes.
So goes the re-election campaign of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, reformer by day and prolific fundraiser by night.?There's hardly an incumbent officeholder anywhere in the country who doesn't need to weigh the corrupting influence of money in politics against the very real need to raise cash to pay the obscenely expensive price of running for office. Still, Mr. Cuomo's recent fundraising activities leave him especially open to charges of blatant opportunism and even hypocrisy.
And that, New York, is to our great political shame.
Mr. Cuomo's call for public campaign financing, along with substantially lower contribution limits and much more aggressive enforcement of campaign finance laws, already faces the well-funded wrath of a political establishment that cares little that elections are bought as much as they are won. But now the governor is alienating the people who ought to be his most steadfast allies in what counts as the ultimate good-government cause.
And who can blame them for their disappointment?
The revelation that George Soros made a $750,000 donation to the Democratic State Committee to aid Mr. Cuomo, making a mockery of what's supposed to be a $60,000 limit on gifts to any statewide candidate, is disconcerting to anyone who's both sincere about transforming New York's political culture. Same for hedge fund billionaire James Simons and his $1 million contribution.
Don't bother talking about the legality of what's going on here — namely, billionaires helping the Democrats use their so-called housekeeping account to pay for a $5.3 million advertising blitz promoting Mr. Cuomo. It's perfectly legal.
Yet the person who should be leading the fight to ban such high-rolling political spending is now badly compromised. All told, Mr. Cuomo has raised $5.9 million of the very "soft money" donations that he says he wants outlawed.
"The fact that the governor doesn't lead by example hurts the ability to get something passed. And this is the most brazen thing he's done that I have seen," says Bill Samuels of the New Roosevelt think tank, a former Democratic fundraiser turned reform crusader.
Music to the ears, no doubt, of Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos. He must be salivating at the idea of using Mr. Samuels' words against the governor when the battle for tougher campaign finance laws is fought anew.
It's tiring to hear the governor say that "you can only live within the system that exists" while he rakes in campaign cash that comes overwhelmingly in donations of $10,000 or more and takes advantage of a loophole that treats limited liability corporations as individuals when they make campaign contributions, even if they're controlled by one individual.
"I've worked very hard to change it; I'll continue to work very hard to change it," the governor says of a system that allows such fundraising.
We hope he does. But now it's clear that means campaigning against himself.
The Oneonta Daily Star on continuing U.S. financial aid to Egypt after the military overthrow of its elected government.
July 18
It can be hard to sympathize with recently ousted President Mohamed Morsi of Egypt. The massive protests against his rule that filled Cairo's Tahrir Square in June were fueled largely by Morsi's repeated, ham-fisted attempts to undermine state institutions since being sworn in last year.
But for all his faults, Morsi was Egypt's legitimate president. And if the United States is truly committed to supporting democracy with more than just lip service, it can't turn a blind eye while a freely elected leader is driven from office by an army equipped with U.S.-made weapons and riot gear.
It's easy to see why Morsi wore thin on so many Egyptians — millions of whom signed a petition to have him removed last month. Newspaper and television reporters critical of Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood colleagues have been threatened, sued and censored on his watch. He stacked Islamist partisans into key positions in government ministries — including those of education and information — and broke a post-election promise to appoint a woman and a Christian as vice presidents.
But the worst of Morsi's offenses was his November decree placing Egypt's constitutional assembly above judicial review and granting Morsi open-ended powers to "protect the revolution." Egypt's Supreme Judicial Council blasted the decree as an "unprecedented assault on the independence of the judiciary and its rulings," and Nobel Peace Prize winner Mohamed el Baradei said Morsi had "usurped all state powers and appointed himself Egypt's new pharaoh."
Clearly, Morsi should have taken the hint when protesters filled Tahrir Square with tent cities reminiscent of those that fueled Hosni Mubarak's overthrow in 2011. But unpopular rulers come with the territory of democracy, and ideally, the Egyptians would resolve their crisis internally — without a U.S.-equipped military force being the deciding factor.
"(Morsi) made some catastrophic mistakes, that must be said," said 26-year-old Mohamed Adel Ismail to al-Jazeera last week. "But my understanding of democracy is you allow him to rule and fail and then vote him out."
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, in visiting Egypt this week, said "we will not try to impose our model on Egypt," insisting he wasn't there "to lecture anyone" or offer "American solutions."
But to believe Burns is to ignore the billions of dollars Egypt receives in U.S. military aid, which has long been a thumb on the scales of Egyptian politics. President Barack Obama last week ordered the Pentagon to review such aid, and would do well to consider permanently reducing it, because the reins of power in Egypt could change hands quickly and unpredictably in the future.
The New York Times on a federal appeals court ruling one of its reporters must testify in a government secrets case.
July 22
An egregious appeals court ruling on Friday has dealt a major setback to press freedoms by requiring the author of a 2006 book to testify in the criminal trial of a former Central Intelligence Agency official charged with leaking classified information. The ruling and the Justice Department's misplaced zeal in subpoenaing James Risen, the book's author and a reporter for The Times, carry costs for robust journalism and government accountability that should alarm all Americans.
A federal district judge, Leonie Brinkema, was mindful of those costs two years ago when she ruled that a qualified reporters' privilege to protect confidential sources, grounded in the First Amendment, applies in criminal cases and declined to compel Mr. Risen to reveal a confidential source in the trial of Jeffrey Sterling, a former C.I.A. employee. The 2-to-1 ruling by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which overturned Judge Brinkema's sound decision, relied on an overly sweeping reading of a murky 41-year-old Supreme Court decision that has been rejected by other federal appellate courts. The ruling also failed to respect the nearly universal consensus among states that there is a common law privilege for protection of reporters' confidential sources.
The third member of the panel, Judge Roger Gregory, got it right, calling his colleagues decision a real threat to investigative journalism. "Under the majority's articulation of the reporter's privilege, or lack thereof, absent a showing of bad faith by the government, a reporter can always be compelled against her will to reveal her confidential sources in a criminal trial," Judge Gregory wrote in a forceful dissent. "The majority exalts the interests of the government while unduly trampling those of the press, and, in doing so, severely impinges on the press and the free flow of information in our society." Judge Gregory found that the government has ample evidence to proceed with the prosecution without forcing a reporter to choose between protecting sources or going to jail.
The precedent set here is especially troubling since the Fourth Circuit, where the ruling applies, includes Maryland and Virginia, home to most national security agencies. If left to stand, it could significantly chill investigative reporting, especially about national security issues.
It was dismaying that the Justice Department issued a statement approving of the court's wrongheaded legal conclusion barely a week after Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. announced new guidelines that are supposedly designed to better protect the news media from federal investigators in leak cases. But the department also said it was "examining the next steps in the prosecution of this case." That should include withdrawing its demand that Mr. Risen testify about his sources.
This issue tests the new guidelines and their promise not to threaten journalists with jail for doing their jobs, except in "extraordinary" circumstances. If he has any intention to live up to that pledge, Mr. Holder should reopen the question of Mr. Risen's subpoena.
Newsday on the Rolling Stone magazine cover featuring Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
July 18
Rolling Stone sparked a firestorm of criticism with its August cover, featuring a portrait of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Tousled hair falls over the 19-year-old's forehead, not unlike handsome rock stars such as Jim Morrison who have long graced the magazine's cover.
Critics, including Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick, contend that the photo glorifies the bomber. With iconic covers ranging from music stars to Hollywood sex symbols, Rolling Stone has defined "cool" for decades. And plastering "The Bomber's" face on a magazine not only lionizes a killer, they argue, but could inspire troubled individuals to follow his lead. Many retailers are refusing to sell the issue.
These reactions are understandable and the predictions possible in the wake of such a tragedy. In the end, however, intolerance of free expression and artistic license is a mistake.
Rolling Stone's cover is a direct challenge to its readers, to us all. The accompanying story elicits a painful self-examination by detailing — as a subheadline promises — "how a popular, promising student was failed by his family, fell into radical Islam and became a monster."
Tsarnaev was by all accounts an average teen: He got good grades, captained his high school wrestling team, smoked weed and flirted with girls. He also happened to be good looking.
The furor has arisen, in part, because this is not how a monster is expected to look. Instead, Rolling Stone shows readers a kid and asks them a question: How could someone so young and with so much promise do something so horrible? That's why the cover is powerful, because not long ago — before he was radicalized, before the marathon and before the police chase — Tsarnaev used to be one of us.

By Peter Martin
For the fifth year in a row, Esquire has taken over an incredible home -- this one an $8.5 million triplex penthouse apartment overlooking Central Park in New York City -- and worked with the worlds top designers and luxury brands to transform it into the ultimate bachelor pad. We use it to raise money for charity, host the occasional shindig, and, this year, to record Jay-Zs newest video, Blue Magic. But while its great for parties, no one knew what it was like to live there. So I moved in.
For one weekend, I was the ultimate bachelor -- or at least a guy who pretended to own his stuff. I threw lavish parties and drank $200 champagne on the huge terraces. Instead of making everyone watch Ohio State football with me on Saturday, I set each rooms large plasma TV to a different game (and one, for those so inclined, to Goldie Hawns Overboard). By the middle of the weekend, I even started getting hangers-on, and I overheard one impressed guest surveying the master bedroom whisper how lucky my girlfriend was -- although she was probably just talking about the full set of Louis Vuitton luggage.

The connection between kashrus and Yom Tov is fairly apparent during Pesach. During this special holiday, chometz is strictly prohibited and we fulfill a very unique mitzvah of eating matzah. There are many intricate halachos associated with baking matzah, which if not performed properly, render one's matzos to become chometz. There are also many halachos associated with the kashrus of wine used for daled kosos, the maror that we eat at the seder, and the list goes on. However, Pesach is not a holiday that has a monopoly on kashrus concepts. Areas of kashrus are also touched upon during other times of the year, even though sometimes the connection may seem hidden. Succos is no exception, as there are topics dealing with kashrus and eating, which are associated with this special time. -

We also supply and install safety precautions such as rack upright guards, end of rack barriers, pallet support bars and anti-collapse mesh.
Our Drive-In Pallet Racking Systems are ideal:
A Narrow Aisle pallet racking system is ideal when space is at a premium. Narrow Aisle Racking systems can work in aisles as small as 1700mm with the use of a 'narrow aisle', 'man-up' or 'Combi' truck. This reduces aisle space and overall racking space by up to 45%. This system ensures 100% accessibility of pallets and stock is stored safely as a specific machine is needed to access the pallets.
Mobile Racking Systems are perfect when space is at a premium and you require 100% accessibility. Mobile racking systems can generate 95% usable warehouse space and can be used to store all types of palletised good, boxes, drums and cylinders.

Dynamic Live Flow Racking is a common F.I.F.O (first in first out) storage system. Dynamic Live Flow Pallet Racking is common in the car industry, electronics, despatch of toys, pharmaceutical and cosmetic distribution, construction materials, beverages and food distribution. Live Flow Racking has a dual purpose. Firstly pallets roll through the racking providing a quick, simple and safe way of transporting stock from one area to the next, drastically reducing fuel costs and material handling requirements.
Roller brakes keep the pallets at a steady slow speed and ensure there is no damage to the materials or the racking. The Second function of live flow racking is as a storage system for your pallets, which can be accessed as and when materials are needed. The Live Flow System is suitable for use up to 30 pallets deep and has a short pay-back period. This system benefits from very low maintenance cost, no energy consumption, can be tailor made for crossway application and is suitable for all temperature and environmental conditions.
Dynamic push back racking can increases pallet capacity by 60-80% compared to standard adjustable pallet racking. Push Back Racking works by resting a pallet on a roller/cart at the front of the rack which is then 'pushed back' up the rack by the next pallet at a minimum angle of 2.7%. Dynamic push back racking is available in excess of ten pallets deep. Up to six bays deep, pallets sit on carts which are pushed back when the next pallet is placed on a cart. In excess of six bays, pallets are placed on rollers which have the same effect.
Carton Flow Live Racking is basically Pallet Flow Live Racking on a smaller scale, instead of entire pallets of stock flowing through the system it is designed for small cartons that contain components. Dynamic carton flow live racking is often used in the electronics and car industries.
If you are looking for a partitioning system for an industrial area such as your warehouse or factory we can offer Factory Partitions and Industrial Steel Partitioning systems, installed by specialist partitioning installers our industrial systems are highly competitively priced whilst matching client expectation and our high demand for quality.
Factory Partitioning Systems are similar to office partitioning systems, they are ideal for industrial areas which require an element of sound proofing and unlikely to be damaged by machinery, such as on top of a mezzanine floor.
Steel partitions are available single or double skin depending upon requirement. They are useful for cordoning of areas to prevent dust or material spillage; steel partitions are easily cleaned down and available in a range of fire ratings and colours. They are easy to replace if damaged and ideal for reinforced offices in industrial areas. We also supply steel mesh partitioning which is perfect for a simple prevention project.

We are maintaining our Neutral recommendation on Mylan Inc . ( MYL ) with a target price of $26.00. The stock carries a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold rating) in the short run. Mylan performed well in the second quarter of 2012, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate both in terms of revenue and earnings. Mylan's second quarter 2012 earnings (excluding special items) of $0.60 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5 cents. Second quarter earnings increased 15% from the year-ago quarter. Higher revenues and gross margin expansion led to a rise in second quarter 2012 earnings. Revenues climbed 7% to $1.69 billion, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.66 billion. Mylan is one of the leading players in the global generics market. Its generics business has been consistently performing well. Mylan's generic unit has seen quite a few launches over the past few months. Important approvals/launches include its generic versions of Sanofi 's ( SNY ) Avapro and Avalide, Novartis ' ( NVS ) Diovan HCT, Takeda 's ( TKPYY ) Actos and Actoplus Met, Teva Pharmaceuticals ' ( TEVA ) Provigil and Merck 's ( MRK ) Singulair among others. As of September 28, 2012, Mylan had 168 abbreviated new drug applications (ANDAs) pending approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), targeting $79 billion in branded sales annually. Mylan believes that about 33 of these pending ANDAs are first-to-file opportunities, representing approximately $20.7 billion in branded sales. The revenue figures are as per IMS Health for the 12 months ending June 30, 2012. Mylan is on-track for the launch of more than 650 new products in 2012. We are also pleased by Mylan's focus on emerging markets. Over the long term, the biggest opportunities for growth in the generics industry would be expansion in emerging markets. However, we are concerned about Mylan's below-par performance in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. We note that pricing pressure and currency fluctuations in several European markets have been impacting the performance of the EMEA segment over the last few quarters. Additionally, with most large branded drugs due to lose patent exclusivity within 2017-2018, we have little visibility on the growth prospects for generic companies like Mylan beyond that time frame.

St. Louis, MO, Jan 09, 2010 -- The Illinois, Iowa and Missouri offices of USDA Rural Development (RD) and the Farm Service Agency (FSA) hosted a jobs and economic development forum on January 9, 2010 in St. Louis, MO. The forum was incorporated into the three-day Missouri Governor's Conference on Agriculture, hosted by the Missouri State Department of Agriculture.
Missouri State RD Director Janie Dunning welcomed the 175 people in attendance to the Jobs Forum and introduced a video with remarks from USDA Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan. She also highlighted that the forum was a follow-up to the Jobs and Economic Growth forum that President Obama held in the White House on December 3, 2009.
Iowa State RD Director Bill Menner introduced five panelists who made short presentations on jobs related issues: Dr. Jon Hagler, Director of Missouri Department of Agriculture; Elisabeth Buck, Director of Iowa Workforce Development; Randy Harris, Program Director Laborers' International Local 338; Brian Bauer with Business Banking Market Manager for National City Bank; and Sharon Gulick, Director University of Missouri Extension's Community Economic and Entrepreneurial Development (EXCEED) Program.
Illinois State RD Director Colleen Callahan moderated a free-flowing discussion with the audience, speakers, panelists and state directors. Those offering input were: Rob Denson, President, Des Moines Area Community College; Jerry Courtney, small business owner and member, Iowa Department of Economic Development board of directors; Frank Barnitz, Missouri State Senator; a representative of Pioneer Hi-Bred; Jim Lindenmayer, President Indian Hills Community College in Iowa; Brian Munzlinger, Missouri State Representative; Mark Edelman, Professor of Economics and Director of the Community Vitality Center, Iowa State University; a Workforce Investment Area employee from Western Illinois; the owner of a soybean milling company from Missouri; a Missouri small business owner who has struggled to get bank financing; a Mount Pleasant, Iowa small business owner and entrepreneurship advocate; and, a college student/Missouri state 4H treasurer.
Some of the "key" things presented on the impact of jobs and the economic conditions centered around enhanced opportunities to promote the "spirit of entrepreneurship" through incentives, technical assistance and capital; more use of collaboration on a regional basis to attract businesses; streamlining of government regulations and red tape for start up businesses plus improvements in tax code; more lenders willing to utilize government guarantees or other programs to help new or expanding businesses; more funding for jobs training to help with "skilling up" the workforce; more funding for summer youth programs; expansion of high speed rural broadband access; more funding for ethanol and bio-diesel programs; continued high levels of funding for RD infrastructure programs to sustain rural communities and provide for a high quality of life in rural areas to help maintain and attract businesses and jobs for skilled workers.
USDA heard a wide array of comments from representatives of local government, non-profit and community organizations, organized labor, small business, education, and agriculture, as well as economic, business and workforce development. A report of the ideas will be submitted to USDA Secretary Vilsack and President Obama.
Others with ideas can share their comments by posting on the USDA Blog website at www.usda.gov/blog/usda or submitting via e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Muang Tam Temple, Buriram
The Angkor-period temple of Muang Tam in Buriram province is closely associated with neighbouring Phanom Rung. Prasart Muang Tam lies four or five kilometres as the crow flies on the plain beneath the extinct volcano on which Phanom Rung is sited. And while the latter was certainly the most prestigious religious site and pilgrimage destination of the area during that period, the former is considered to have been the main urban centre and capital of the region.
What you can see at Muang Tam would have been the central temple of that urban area and would have been surrounded by wooden and bamboo housing, roads and reservoirs — the largest of which is still in use — while an ancient road heading towards the nearby hilltop temple can also be clearly seen.
Dating the temple is problematic since, as with the majority of Angkor period sites, they were continually upgraded by successive rulers and kings but most of what you can see today is probably 11th century, so slightly earlier than its neighbour Phanom Rung. The central brick towers are consistent with a late 10th century design — that is, the Rajendravarman or Jayarvarman V period — so the site was likely inhabited for a period of no less than 200 years. Indeed the simpler earlier version with just five central brick towers and surrounding moat can clearly be seen with the more elaborate outer gallery, wall and gopuras being a later addition.
The later additions of impeccably proportioned entrance gopuras and outer gallery plus the attractive four L-shaped ponds, these days are full of crimson water-lilies, make the temple particularly pleasing to the eye and even though it's a less prestigious and well known temple than Phanom Rung, for most visitors it is the more aesthetically pleasing of the two.
Furthermore Muang Tam is far less crowded with visitors than its neighbour, which is a big plus when exploring such sites as this where atmosphere is a big part of the experience.
It's also notable that Muang Tam has many fine carved lintels which are often in better conditions than the Phanom Rung ones, particularly the oldest ones in the central brick towers.
Bear in mind that the wonderful lintel above in high relief was carved the best part of a thousand years ago. This one features Shiva and Uma on an ox above the doorway's guardian figure Rahu.
We reckon the above is Krishna, though wouldn't guarantee it. Regardless, it's another beautifully preserved 10th/11th century carving.
One of the reasons there are so few, at least foreign, tourists is that Muang Tam is unfortunately not easy to access under your own steam. It's easy enough by motorbike or car from Buriram but even worse than Phanom Rung by public transport.
From Nang Rong, the nearest town to Phanom Rung with accommodation, you ought to be able to find a taxi of some description — songthaew or moto — and if you're overnighting in Nang Rong then your guesthouse will help out but we wouldn't want to name a price. If you were lucky you might be able to find some similar transport for the short hop from Phanom Rung but this isn't guaranteed. The nearest town to the site is Prakhon Chai so if you are starting out in Buriram town you would need to find a local bus heading that way and then grab a moto to the site. It's worth the effort of getting there, but your easiest option maybe to take an organised day tour from Buriram, Surin or even Khorat.
Admission to Muang Tam is 100 baht for foreigners or a 150 baht ticket gets you into this and Phanom Rung. Open 06:00-18:00, daily. There is a small exhibition centre near the entrance and a car park with drinks and souvenir stands but at time of writing no more food stands. More architectural details can be found at this site.

Summer is a time when people look forward to enjoying the great outdoors and nature's beauty in all its splendor. Where better homes and gardens is not just an expression but a way of life for those who are enchanted with colorful flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables, cuddly pets, playful animals and entertaining others.
Peter and Susan Goodwin are a Cleveland couple who believe there is more happiness in giving their time and energy to creating a plush environment and welcoming the community to come out and enjoy their unique Foster's Trail and Alpaca Farm, which combines entertainment, education, relaxation and practical products with a stroll into the wonders of nature and a degree of interaction with some of the most cuddly and curious creatures one will ever see in the city of Cleveland.
"At Foster's Trail, we love alpacas!" Susan said. "Peter and I enjoy sharing our alpaca lifestyle and experiences with visitors. We always encourage anyone interested in learning more about alpacas to visit our farm. Admission is free. However, we do ask that people call to schedule an appointment, weather permitting. We have babies (crias), yearlings and adults, male and female. They are very curious and love visitors, plus they are just so cute! Everyone loves them."
Alpacas are known for their intelligence, gentleness and adaptability, making them ideal pets. They are playful, easy to care for, live long productive lives, are relatively disease resistant and come in 22 natural colors.
Besides visiting these adorable creatures, the Cleveland couple offers a guided tour that features one of the most colorful gardens in Bradley County, filled with dazzling flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables grown under their own quality conditions.
"Our vegetable garden is producing by leaps and bounds!," Susan said. "We have squash, tomatoes, onions, okra, corn, potatoes, beets, carrots, green beans, eggplant, cucumbers and peppers, just to name a few. We also have apples, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cantaloupe and watermelon, plus several types of herbs."
The couple said "the secret to our garden is alpaca compost! In November, we add alpaca beans (manure) to the raised beds and let it seep into the beds throughout the winter. In the spring, we till each of the beds and add seeds or plants. This is the only type of fertilizer used in our garden and it works. It's also available for purchase."
Since May 2007, Peter and Susan have been on the cutting edge of bringing simple pleasures back to Cleveland while offering exquisite, rare, top-quality clothing and accessories made from alpaca fleece at their boutique farm.
"Alpaca is very thermal and in the past the clothing offered in our store has been more for the fall and winter months — cool evenings," Susan explained. "Therefore, I started designing the silk chiffon items embellished with alpaca fiber in order to provide choices for the summer. They're very light and breezy and fun to wear! The silk chiffon is hand dyed and then adorned with alpaca fiber of similar hues."
In fact, the Fuzzy Lilly Alpaca Shoppe, owned by the Goodwins, recently participated in a Fiber Arts Fashion Show (to Wearables Event) held at the Museum Center at Five Points. Several artists from Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina and Tennessee participated in the June 1 event. There was also a fashion show luncheon in which the artists' products were modeled. The Goodwins provided five items for the fashion show, all designed and made by Susan.
The grand finale was a surprise to all when Susan walked on stage wearing a hand-knitted tunic accompanied by her female alpaca, Sun Star. The tunic was made from Sun Star's fleece.
"Sun Star was a big hit!" Susan said. "Alpaca fiber is a wonderful product. It is hypoallergenic, it contains no dander or lanolin. It is very luxurious and is naturally water repellent."
The Fuzzy Lilly Alpaca Shoppe carries a wide selection of alpaca products such as scarves, yarn, roving, sweaters, coats, hats and gloves, according to the Goodwins. One of their most popular items is socks.
"We have several types for all ages," Susan said. "The therapeutic sock is perfect for anyone with circulation issues such as diabetics. We also offer yoga socks, hunting socks, ski socks and many other styles."
With much of their time and energy invested in providing products that are environmentally friendly, safe and durable while offering the public a tour around their farm, Peter and Susan said they consider themselves blessed and thankful they can offer their services to the public despite the fact their property was devastated by a tornado in last March.
"On March 2, 2012, our property was hit by a tornado," they said. "We have finally finished the new design and landscaping of our front lawn. This was a major project. Prior to the tornado, our front lawn was covered with large pine trees which gave much privacy and shade. After the tornado destroyed approximately 40 to 50 trees in our front lawn — including the gazebo — leaving us very exposed with lots of sunlight, we had to come up with a new plan."
After their architectural designers and landscape designer worked with the couple on a new look, Susan and Peter said they now have 51 different varieties and a total of 472 new flowers, bushes and trees for the community to enjoy. The couple said they are very excited to present to the public their farm and store as a source of entertainment, education and quality products rarely seen in the area.
On September 28-29, Foster's Trail and Alpaca Farm will be open to the public for National Alpaca Farm Days. For further information call 423-559-9100 or email: email@example.com or visit www.fosterstrailalpacas.com.

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is the complete new installation of the driving cars and criterion that joins the best features of the different titles of the series. You can now enjoy the daylight after the show Neon previous two titles of the series. This day-night cycle lets you enjoy more of your chases with cop aboard your spark vehicle.
Now you can 'tune' your cars as you would like. There are variety of exclusive accessories for every of these fireballs. The gameplay is totally redefined and improved. The new game mode includes running away from the cop or a race whose objective is to accumulate as quickly as you can through variety of radars throughout the location.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted has got more colourful graphics than its predecessors. You will see more visual effects quality. The game has a great storyline at the starting that makes you want to look the career mode through the completion. The early story parts are told through some kind of combination of computer generated vehicles and full motion video characters. The acting in these segments is awful.
Need For Speed: Most Wanted features great sound effects, sharp graphics and amazing full motion video cut scenes. Moreover outrunning the police is extremely exciting. However race AI is not very much bright at first, get wicked smart after some time.
Overall Need for Speed: Most Wanted is an amazing game. It is made for all those who want to feel the speed.

DESCRIPTION OF ME - Hair is long, fine, naturally very curly, Bottle red-brunette...Medium Reddish Brown.
Eyes are blue-grey-green naturally.
Skin is medium-light NC25. Skin type is combination, prone to occasional sensitivity.
Personal style is *usually* classic/natural, drawn to pinks, browns, and golds. Perfumes normally preferred are classics...mostly spicy florals or orientals.
Regular pencil application that you must sharpen. Not automatic.
Golden bronzed-brown with golden shimmer. *SO* gorgeous that I can't get over it!
Soft, goes on easily. Blends easily with finger or brush. Does not smudge on me once applied(though I don't rub my eyes).
Use as you would any eyeliner.
This looks STUNNING by itself OR with Amber Lights e/s... but truth be told, has looked great with anything I've tried.
Excellent. lasts all day, no smudging.
My only problem with this is that I very much prefer automatic liners. I hate sharpening eye pencils with a passion. I would normally subtract a lippie for that, but this colour is WAY too beautiful and flattering to ever degrade simply for packaging.
This has to be my all-time favourite eyeliner! So pretty! Perfect!
continued >>
I received this in a swap and simply love it! The color is a brown with a golden sheen when applied on my lids and that staying power is excellent for a kohl. I normally don't use mac's kohls on my bottom rims as they tend to smudge after a while and leave me with raccoon eyes. However, I was putting this on before going to the movies and went ahead and applied it on both my upper and lower rims. I ended up bawling though the latter half of the film and was sure I'd have major raccoon eyes when I emerged from the theater. Boy, was I amazed when I saw that my liner was still in place and looked good as new!
More reviews by sarahbella1012
I bought this goldish-taupe (beautiful!) liner to replace an eyeliner that L'Oreal used to make called Silver Stone. I never line underneath the eyes typically but this allows me to do so without looking like a clown. I also use it along the lashline for a natural look on days when I don't feel like bothering with much make-up. It can also be used *above* or over a thin line of gel liner (in a darker color) for a smokey eye look without too harsh an effect. I love the eye kohls because they are virtually goof proof and this one is so versatile! Will continue to repurchase. (NW20 with hazel eyes for reference)
When I rim this dark gold eyeliner around my upper and lower lashlines my eyes look smouldering without the heavy or harsh look of black eyeliner. This colour is perfect for an uber subtle daytime smokey eye. Since the colour is so light and smudgey I can apply it as thickly as I want and I don't have to worry about walking out the door in the morning with crooked eyeliner.
I really wanted to love this e/l, and this golden shimmering shade is really gorgeous: unfortunately, it doesn't show up on my pale skin as much as I wanted. Guess it would suit darker gals perfectly. Quality and staying power are excellent as other Mac khols, I just wish it were a bit darker. For reference, I'm NW 15, brown eyes.
I NEVER would have given this pencil a second look if it hadn't been for the wonderful girls of MUA!!!
Looking at this in the store, this pencil would have been "too gold" or simply "too light" for my taste. As I'm sure it was, becuz I have plenty of MAC eye pencils (all varieties, PowerPoints, Kohls, pencils, etc.), but I never had this one in my collection. Not until earlier this past week, after reading the rave reviews here on this one- I had to go out and get it! And that is exactly what I did! ;o) Well, I am so thrilled with this pencil, I have been wearing it EVERY SINGLE DAY! I like it under my eyes, becuz as another MUA reviewer similarly commented: '...Once you hit the big 4-0, anything too dark under the eyes only seems to bring out the shadows.' [Unfortunately, how true.] I've been trying to find a nice 'undereye' color for quite some time now... and Powersurge is IT! LOVE IT! I also want to try it on the upper lid as an e/s as a few others suggested... all in good time. Right now, I am so thrilled that I have found this beautiful pencil that looks so darn nice under my eyes! What a wonderful color! Thank you, MUA gals!!! :o) continued >>
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
When I first bought Powersurge, I got it home, tried it out, and hated it. I guess I was used to my usual Teddy or plum liner and didn't like the sublty of powersurge. However, once I found the right way to use this, I LOVED IT. Powersurge doesn't match a lot of eyeshadows, so you either a.) have to smudge it all over to make it its own eyeshadow, or b.) line your eyes with it and not wear any e/s for a beauitful natural enhancer when you don't feel like wearing much makeup. Makes my brown eyes pop. Good stuff.
Powersurge looks great if used to line the inner rim of the eye. It makes my eyes look defined yet soft. I am MAC NC20 with greenish eyes.
I also wear it on the upper lid but it tends to smudge a bit (well, kohls are supposed to smudge). I would definitely repurchase.
Love this. Powersurge is my almost daily eyeliner. Looks good with anything, it's perfect. It puts a sparkly gold around my eyes and brings out the blue in them.
UPDATE- started using this stuff again. still love the hell out of it. :)
UPDATE- still love this, 6 years later. Never disappoints.

Hello everybody.
I wanted to let evryone know that I filled a food storage bag with some damp vermiculite and then put in maybe a dozen to a dozen and a half of Fino de Jete seeds. I then put them on top of my fridge but then moved them to my bedroom since it is the warmest room in my house. I checked the bag today not really expecting much since they have only been in there for about two weeks but sure enough, I saw sprouted seeds! I was a little surprised because the seeds really didn't have any time to dry out after I ate the fruit but they are growing! I will take a picture later so I can show everyone. Now, I just need to find space for them. LOL! Andrew |

cherimoya seeds are easy to germinate, not so easy to nurse into the sapling stage |
mango kush, For those of us sprouting cherimoya seeds for the first time (or have difficulty germinating any kind seeds) this is very exciting! Your experience and expertise might put you in a different class but for us newbies, we're very proud of this milestone. Bo |
Mango kush, Any advise for me now? They will need to go into small pots for now and I will have to do that tomorrow. I know right now, that I all ready have more than I need so hopefully somebody will want some of them. I really don't want to trash them but I wasn't sure how well they would germinate, especially being fresh seeds. Thanks for the help. Bo, You are too kind and I will definetly send you some cherimoya saplings or maybe the germinated seeds. Anyone that would like some just let me know. I have plenty to share! Andrew |

i planted all the seeds from a cherimoya in a pot last year and they all sprouted, i wasnt able to get one to maturity though, they probably needed more shade and they werent too precious to me so they died. |
Could it have been the heat? I have heard that they are more difficult to grow in Florida because of the heat. Is that true? Andrew |
Are you going to keep them in containers? |
Do you keep these seedlings in pure shade for a while? At what month/size do you expose them to sun and how much sun? |
- Posted by steve_in_los_osos 9 (My Page) on Sun, May 9, 10 at 0:32
When I planted cherimoya seeds last year about this time (maybe a month or two earlier) I tried the top of the refrigerator with 6 seeds in a 4-in pot, not knowing what to expect. I also just potted up a bunch in a 6-in pot and tossed them in my then cold frame which was anything but on most days. Just about everything came up, and by the time each had a few leaves I dumped the lot out (gently) and teased them apart, putting individuals into deeper pots (got to watch that tap root!) until they were about half a foot tall (by that time, out of the cold frame and/or the house). I had them all in full sun (but I live at the coast). Once they had reached a promising size I put them into 1 gal nursery containers and there they lived until I grafted them all last month. They seemed to do just fine, most reaching a height of 12-18 in, with a decent caliber of stock (lower on the trunk) for grafting. All the grafts seem to have taken so they will be moving to larger quarters shortly to grow out for a year. Hopefully by then I will have a place ready to plant some of them |
Hello TJ, Yeah I would have to keep them in containers since winters in western NY are WAY TO COLD!! I have all ready got a few people wanting them, and anyone else who is interested can email me. I bought a grafted Fino so I would have a better chance of getting fruit faster. I only intend on keeping a few for myself. Stu, I will keep them indoors for a few more weeks and then gradually move them into full sun so I don't shock them and also so they don't end up with sun scorched leaves. Steve, Thanks for the info. My goal is to be able to graft them. I have been told that grafting is best done when the bud wood and the root stock are dormant? Is that when you did it? |
- Posted by steve_in_los_osos 9 (My Page) on Sun, May 9, 10 at 14:12
I was told to graft when the seedlings dropped their leaves (semidormancy), generally in April sometime. But...by that time I was keeping my seedlings in a small greenhouse I had built the previous Fall and they didn't seem to want to shed their leaves. They just kept growing. Finally I noticed lower, dormant buds on the trunks starting to push new growth and decided that there was enough action to make a successful graft (being a total novice anyway). All I can say is that it worked for me. |
How are the seedlings doing? |
Andrew, I think you are supposed to graft them when the rootstock is growing and the budwood is dormant. |

Short walk
Fort Takapuna
There is no formal track in the Fort Takapuna Historic Reserve, but you can wander around the grassed area of the reserve taking in the military history and superb views of the Hauraki Gulf.
A self guided walk lets you explore the barracks, tunnels, gun pits and magazine inside the old fort. Most of the information you will need for this walk can be found on the information panels on the walls inside the fort. Alternatively, see the numbered plan and description below to help guide you through the fort.
From the outside (1) you can see two main buildings: the barracks (2) built in the 1880s, and the smaller brick building (3) built by the navy in the 1920s to store warheads for torpedoes and depth charges. The main entrance door (4) was originally a window and was converted into a door in the 1920s.
The buildings are below ground level because originally they were surrounded by a dry moat, most of which was filled in 100 years ago.

Note: The inside of Fort Takapuna is only open to the public during special events, such as the NZ Sculpture Onshore event.
This building was to be used as accommodation for soldiers. You can see where the fireplaces and the stoves would have been located (5). These were blocked off when the building was converted into an ammunition depot. If the fort was attacked the steel shutters you can see in the walls could be sealed and the soldiers could fire through the small loopholes at any attackers.
At the end of the small tunnel at the top of the stairs (6) you will see an entrance with a sliding door to the right. This leads to a flight of stairs up to the surface (7), which was one of the two original entrances to the fort.
Turn to your left and enter the "gallery" (8). This area was originally open and was roofed to form part of the naval ammunition store in the 1920s. The big round room at the end of the gallery is the gun pit (9), where one of the two 6 inch disappearing guns was once positioned.
To the right is the tunnel leading to the old magazine area for the fort (10). This part of the fort dates from the 1880s. On the floor are rails from the tramway which was used to transport the ammunition from the magazines to the guns.
The first room on your right (11) was the Cartridge Store, where the bags of gun powder used in the guns were stored. The next room is the Lamp Room (12). The light from candle lamps lit in this room shone through little windows called recesses, stopping flames from the lamps coming into contact with ammunition stored in other parts of the fort. There is a well in the floor of the lamp room, and remnants of speaking tubes or pipes through which orders were called down from above can be seen on the roof.
The next room (13) was the shell store where the shells fired by the guns were kept. Follow the rails in the floor and you will come to the other gun pit (14). Around the walls can be seen the remains of the big dial used to aim the gun.
To your right is another gallery (15). If the door is open you can leave via a sunken courtyard (16). The room beyond the courtyard (17) was the Artillery Store where all the equipment used to work the guns was stored.
Fort Takapuna is located next to Narrow Neck beach on Auckland's North Shore. You can drive there by car, or catch a ferry from downtown Auckland to Devonport. It is 13 km from downtown Auckland.
Fort Takapuna is a 40 minute walk from Devonport. From Devonport follow King Edward Parade along the waterfront, turn left at Church Street then right at Vauxhall Road. Alternatively, catch a bus to Takapuna via Narrow Neck.
Fort Takapuna, used by the New Zealand Defence Forces for over a century, offers a glimpse of New Zealand's 19th and 20th Century military history.
There are steep drop-offs along the coastal cliff top and around some of the historic structures. Take care when exploring the reserve and supervise children at all times.

MARGAO: For years, tiatrists have enthralled audiences through their outstanding skills in the art of theatre , with one of the genre's hit themes being satire in politics. Though it remains central to their art, the recently concluded panchayat elections witnessed at least four tiatrists plunging directly into grassroots politics by contesting the polls. Significantly, three of them came up trumps.
Menino Fernandes, popularly known as Menino de Bandar, got elected from Benaulim panchayat while Milagres de Chandor made it to the Guiridolim panchayat body. Both have been elected for the third time in a row. Domnick Carvalho, who won from Majorda panchayat, is a new face on the local self government body. However, Connie M, who contested the panchayat elections from Seraulim panchayat, had to face defeat.
Menino de Bandar, who has scripted and directed many well-known tiatrs, has won a number of prizes for his performance in theatre art. Being a third-term panchayat member, the tiatrist will now have to assume a more responsible role to play in the political theatre. A known supporter of former minister Churchill Alemao, Fernandes is pleased with his performance in the elections. "What's important is that I have won from three different wards each time. I enjoy the support of people from all the wards," Menino said.
He, however, doesn't want to see himself as one who dabbles in politics, though. "For me, it's not about politics. I have been contesting panchayat elections because I want to serve society and solve problems concerning my village," Menino told TOI.
Milagres de Chandor is also a big name on the Konkani stage. He was however not available for his comments, as he left Indian shores on Tuesday alongwith his entourage for a tour of England to stage tiatr shows for the Konkani audience there.
Domnick Carvalho, speaking to TOI, stressed that his decision to contest the elections was driven by the desire to contribute his bit to the "betterment of my village."
"Through our tiatrs, we try to send subtle messages and lessons aimed at instilling some values in the society. Just before the elections, I started getting suggestions from the people to contest the polls. In such circumstances, as a tiatrist, one needs to take a stand. I decided to contest with the sole aim to help in the development of my village," Carvalho said.

Hello. I am looking for advice on Ficus Benjamina. In the spring we procured two large beautiful trees in pots. They are approximately 7-8' tall. Have done very well outside on the north side of the house next to our hot tub. Being as big as they are there is no way these guys can come inside. Just won't work. Will they survive the southeast Ga winter? Will they lose their leaves until spring? Is there something I can do to protect them outside until warmer weather? I know it's not real close to freeze time, but I would like to have a game plan for that first frost warning! Thanks! |

I don't know how they'd go with cold, but doubt they'd survive the cold that you mentioned. However, they can be pruned quite drastically and reduced to a smaller, lighter, more "mobile" size. They can be root pruned as well. |
I try not to leave my Ficus out when the temp is below 55. I agree with tropic, prune them. You have nothing to loose because if you leave them out, I think they will die. |

on July 5, 2012So the latest document dump from the folks at WikiLeaks the founder of which remains confined to the Ecuadorian embassy in London, hoping to get to Ecuador and out of the reach of the law in a couple of countries including, theoretically, this one concerns 2.4 million e-mails emanating to and from the Syrian government and covering a period from 2006 to the present. (You can read 'em all here.) WikiLeaks promises that these will serve to embarrass both the Syrian government and the ongoing resistance movement seeking to bring it down. But the joker in the deck is probably those e-mails that involve various multinationals that are profiting from the bloodshed....
Some of the 2,434,899 emails would reveal, Wikileaks promises, "how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another".
No, really?
That's... unpossible!
One of the blessings of the whole WikiLeaks phenomenon is that many of the documents that have been released to date serve to illustrate that, all over the world, governmental power and corporate power are gradually becoming indistinguishable from one another. Each serves the other, and, often, the balance of power has come to tilt away from democratic restraints and towards unaccountable corporate power. In fact, WikiLeaks occasionally seems to be the only media enterprise that is even covering this dynamic and its effects on the world. Nobody's going to have much sympathy for the embarrassment the Syrian government will feel over these revelations in the coming weeks. But, I suspect, the embarrassment felt by "the West and Western corporations" will be vigorously salved.

HRC, Clinton and Gaga Join in Celebration of IDAHO
May 17, 2011 by Ty Cobb, Director, HRC Global
Today, HRC joins individuals across the globe in recognizing the annual International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, commonly referred to as "IDAHO." Support for IDAHO has come from political leaders, such as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to pop stars, such as Lady Gaga. The day will be celebrated this year in over 70 countries around the world with various events and activities.
In a press release issued today, Secretary Clinton touted the work that the State Department has done that advances the ideals of IDAHO. The press release stated:
"Whether by supporting LGBT advocates marching in Belgrade, leading the effort at the United Nations to affirm the human rights of LGBT persons, or condemning a vile law under consideration in Uganda, we are committed to our friends and allies in every region of the world who are fighting for equality and justice. These are not Western concepts; these are universal human rights."
Among the many other actions that are being organized around this day, IDAHO organizers have launched the "As I Am" campaign. This campaign asks individuals to submit creative videos, artwork or written statements about respecting all persons for who they are. Visit this link to contribute to the "As I Am" campaign.
IDAHO is celebrated annually on May 17th in recognition of the date when homosexuality was removed from the International Classification of Diseases of the World Health Organization in 1990. For more information on IDAHO, visit this link.

The XGC Coral 66 compiler conforms to the Official Definition of Coral 66, BSI Standard 5905, and supports several industry-standard sets of extensions. It is therefore ideally placed as a modern implementation of the legacy language and will enable value engineering across a wide range of supported computer applications.
The XGC Coral 66 compiler is available as a native compiler on Sun SPARC Solaris and IBM PC Linux, and as a cross compiler form the standard platforms to any of the supported targets. Targets immediately available are: Motorola M68000 family, Intel 386 family, SPARC, MIL-STD-1750 and Power PC.
The cross compiler to Motorola M68000 targets is available off the shelf.
The XGC Coral 66 compiler is based on mature technology, and incorporates a new compiler front end to support the Coral 66 language. This front end is in addition to front ends for C, C++ and Ada95, and permits us to build custom compilers for any mix of these languages.
In the following diagram, we show a compiler that supports three languages.
Program segments written in Coral66 have full access to the standard libraries. In particular, a Coral program may use the ANSI C library to perform input-output, string operations, memory allocation an so on.
Coral66 segments may be linked into an Ada program, and calls may be made either from the Ada source to the Coral source, or vice versa.

This bracelet is beautiful but I had to send it back because it is way too big. It literally slid off my wrist over my hand. Very disappointed as I really liked the bracelet. I have ordered several other bracelets from Overstock in this style and they all fit perfectly. If you have extra large hands, then you may want to order it but if you have, normal large hands or smaller you will need to pass on it!
very nice bangle bracelet....and jade to boot! nice light color with shading........buy several bracelets and mix! lovely piece!
This bracelet is listed with your jade items, it is not jade and it does not look like jade. If you are looking for a green glass bangle I recommend this one.
I bought this to replace one stolen during a burglary of my home. the original one was given to me by a kind woman. So I gave this one away to a kind woman so something good would come out of something bad.
I am not an expert on jade but this bracelet is beautiful. I ordered the red jade and it is a gorgeous cinnabar color. I have large wrists and it fit me well. I bought it to coordinate with some spiny oyster jewelry and it compliments that very well. Very satisfied.
I liked it very much.. But if they had a smaller size it would have been perfect!
I got this in the mail and noticed a couple of chips in the bracelet. I barely knocked it on the kitchen counter and it broke into pieces.
I received my bracelet within 7 days and have received many words of were did I get it of course I said cold water Creek ,your quality of your Items are top of the line. Are you going to have another color? I have friends who want some for the holidays. Thanks Linda Evans
Beautiful bracelet that my wife really enjoys wearing. Very nice piece of women's jewelry.
Love the way the Jade bracelet feels on my arm. The red is beautiful.

Summary: Historical Recall Election
The recall of Senate President Russell Pearce began as a loose coalition of individuals who were deeply affected by the appointment of Russell Pearce as the new President of the Senate. Based on Senator Pearce's previous behavior and legislative record, it became apparent that Senator Pearce was unwilling to focus on the most pressing issues confronting Arizona.
August, 2011 – November 8, 2011: Special election is held. Jerry Lewis emerges to challenge Russell Pearce. Jerry Lewis soundly defeats Russell Pearce and Russell Pearce is removed from office.
May 31, 2011-July, 2011. The Secretary of State officially validated over 10,000 signatures. Historic Special Recall Election has been set by Governor Brewer for November 8, 2011. Never before has a Senate President been recalled at anytime in the history of the United States. This is a huge victory for all of the volunteers and contributors who helped make this happen.
February 5, 2011- May 31, 2011 Citizens for a Better Arizona work to collect 7,756 signatures in District 18, Mesa Arizona. Volunteers knock door-to-door Monday through Saturday building support for the recall.
January 31, 2011 Members of Citizens for a Better Arizona convene in Phoenix, Tucson, Nogales and Yuma to submit petition to recall Senate President Russell Pearce. Also, Citizens for a Better Arizona launched their full-time signature gathering operation.
January 22, 2011 Citizens for a Better Arizona gather in Mesa, Arizona for a Town Hall Meeting. After repeated phone calls to confirm Senate President Russell Pearce's attendance, he did not show up at the meeting.
January 15, 2011 Members of Citizens for a Better Arizona walked the streets of District 18 knocking on doors and speaking with citizens about Senate President Russell Pearce's track record. 2 out of 3 people did not know Russell Pearce was their representative.
January 10, 2011 Citizens gathered at the Capitol to serve Senate President Russell Pearce a 21-day notice and invite him to attend a Town Hall meeting in Mesa, Arizona. Senate President Russell Pearce avoided Citizens for a Better Arizona by taking the tunnel.
