White House to Military Lawyers: Keep Quiet
Here is another terrible idea from the Bush administration: The White House now wants to politicize the promotions process for attorney-soldiers. To uniformed lawyers who often put the rule of law ahead of their own interests, the message is as clear as it is cynical and short-sighted: If you want a promotion, stop criticizing U.S. policy in court, no matter how legally flawed it may be.
The move by the White House -- reported over the weekend by Pulitzer-Prize-winner Charlie Savage of the Boston Globe -- is another example of the relentless march the administration has taken toward a "unitary executive," where all executive-branch power resides with the president. It will fascinating to see now whether and to what extent the military pushes back.
From Savage: "The administration has proposed a regulation requiring 'coordination' with politically appointed Pentagon lawyers before any member of the Judge Advocate General corps - the military's 4,000-member uniformed legal force -- can be promoted.... Former JAG officers say the regulation would end the uniformed lawyers' role as a check-and-balance on presidential power, because politically appointed lawyers could block the promotion of JAGs who they believe would speak up if they think a White House policy is illegal."
More from Savage: "The JAG rule would give new leverage over the JAGs to the Pentagon's general counsel, William 'Jim' Haynes, who was appointed by President Bush. Haynes has been the Pentagon's point man in the disputes with the JAGs who disagreed with the administration's assertion that the president has the right to bypass the Geneva Conventions and other legal protections for wartime detainees."
The first person I thought about when I read the story is former Navy Lt. Cmdr. Charles Swift, who represented terror detainee Salim Ahmed Hamdan before the United States Supreme Court in 2006. Swift won the case -- the justices agreed with him that the military commission procedures existing at the time were insufficient -- but it cost him a promotion and, ultimately, his job. He's now a law professor at Emory University (and still representing Hamdan).
The coercion of military lawyers -- pull your punches in court or face career stagnation, or worse -- will accomplish two things, neither of which is productive. It will guarantee that the best military lawyers will spend less time in the system, and that the most fearful lawyers will remain. There will be uniformity at the cost of independence; expediency at the expense of justice.
When that occurs, not only will the clients of military lawyers suffer, but the rest of us will as well. Military lawyers are the canaries in a coal mine when it comes to poorly conceived military law. When something is rotten, they usually sniff it out first, and when they object to military policy, they typically have good reason for doing to.
That's why Hamdan won his case in court. And it's why we'll all lose if the White House gets it way here.

this administration in a way has done us a favor. it has revealed to us the many ways in which our system can be gamed, even though we thought it was a good one with checks and balances. the "founding fathers" tried their best, but we end up with a "democracy" in which we are split 50/50 by party lines, the party that happens to win a presidential election gets all the marbles, and the moderate positions that the great majority of people hold are ignored. two-thirds of americans want to end the war and get out of iraq right away, but we cannot get this done because of the way the system "works." congress is supposed to have the exclusive right to declare war, but has abdicated this so that any president can do whatever he wants. congress is supposed to control the purse strings but the rhetoric ensures that they are never able to use this power. this system is pretty screwed up if you ask me.

Another significant effect of this new regulation would be to diminish even more the ostensible guarantees that detainees will receive a fair and just hearing on the merits of their cases. If their advocates have an incentive to "pull their punches" because truly representing their clients will cost them promotions, the likelihood of an outcome that reflects reality is even smaller than before.

Bush can still do great harm to the fabric of our society. That's why he should be impeached. But the other side, clearly, has more to gain from the system of rewards than it has by exhibiting a modicum of courage. A plague on both parties and their puppet-like candidates.

This president will go to any length to ensure his absolute power. I wouldn't be surprised to see him declare martial law and suspend the constitution shortly before the next presidential election. I know this won't happen but it wouldn't surprise me.
This new rule would deplete the military of any bright legal minds. Any that are there presently would soon be gone to pursue a career in the civilian world and those that would consider serving would probably think otherwise.
What lengths this president will go are as yet unseen and simply astounding.

If you are a government employee then your behaviors and thoughts are going to be micromanaged with regard to anything that actually matters to the executive in power. That's what happens when the shareholder (citizen) is taken out of the equation. This is very close to what we see in Russia now.

It remains an easy lay-up to criticize the administration's efforts to have the various sub-branches of the executive branch "singing from the same hymn book" (all allusions to enforced christianity intentional).
But if we are being intellectually honest, flip the situation around. Doesn't President Hillary/Obama/John/Joe/Chris/Dennis also want to curtail what they consider to be the extremist views of those who may have progressed up the chain of command for military reasons, but along the way also acquired greater recognition/volume when they stand on (or pursue issues relating to) their "soapbox"?
If President (Name your favorite) doesn't favor (name your issue here), it is not completely unreasonable that he/she will not want dissonance from within some sub-branch of what the constitution says is within their scope of authority.
The issue is one of design (of constitutional governance), rather than abuse in implementation.
The flaw may be that voters do not fully appreciate what they are voting for when the elect the individual. If all of what they can change/do as chief executive of the executive branch of government had to be listed on the ballot sheet, no one would read it all. We'd be exactly where we are today: voting for the individual we (think we) "trust" to "do the right thing". And damn the definitions (of "right").

To:consider the other side ,
We cannot know what a new administration from the Democrats may want in the way of controlling JAG's. But we know that no other administration in AMERICAN history has tried to bring the military under such partisan idealogical control.
So far only the Bush administration has attempted to make the DOJ and the JAG's an arm of the Republican party.
And that attempt should be fought by all Americans. Such partisan power over military and federal law enforcement and prosecution would be devastating beyond imagination.

Sounds as though a good blanket question at the next Presidential "debates" might be: Which of you promise to reverse this policy, and give preferential promotion consideration to any military lawyers who were adversely affected by it?
My bet is every Democrat would say yes; the more interesting thing would be to see which (if any) Republicans would have the courage to.

Not gonna pull this punch, but one of the things that the Nazi Party did in Germany was, when confronted by traditional courts and traditional lawyers that were critical of their polices was to fire the lawyers and judges or replace them with party members whose nomination, confirmation and promotion was all controled by the Nazi Party.
For this act, many Nazi lawyers and judges were tried at Nuremberg.
Posted by: William Smith | December 17, 2007 06:06 PM
These military commissars, now being contemplated for JAG are just too Stalinist for me. The IG, and JAG lawyers were supposed to be totally outside any chain of command except their own organizational chain exactly so that they could do what needed to be done, especially tell the truth to the top brass. That a military failure like George could conceive of such a thing simply shows how un American George really is.
That "consider the other side" would speak in favor of that shows that he is equally un American. No president of this country, including such high handed autocrats as Andrew Jackson or Richard Nixon ever even hinted that he might consider such a thing.
Political Commissars fot JAG? Unmoeglick!

Bush is a walking talking horror story. He is also horrid.
He is forever seeking to protect himself from his own failures at the expense of transparency, truth, accountability and fairness to others. After he leaves office he will be reviled when access to relevant documents becomes available to all of us.
Posted by: Robert James | December 17, 2007 10:16 PM
Like the loyal Bushies running Prescott Bush's concentration camp factories at the end of WWII, the Bushies are once again shredding documents and evidence on an industrial scale. There are many pragmatic arguments against impeachment but the legal tools needed to stop the shredding and document the regime's domestic terrorism programs (including torture, massive economic crimes and political assassinations -- and not just on American soil) would be aided by impeachment even if the impeachment were obstructed by the loyal Bushies left over from Jack Abramoff's Congress.
Even security measures that make Cheney's safe look quaint can not protect the evidence of the organized crimes conducted against Americans under Bush's watch.
Andrew, what do you think of impeachment for the primary purpose of preserving evidence? Congress is ineffective and can't even pass SCHIP. They may claim that impeachment is a waste of time but it is a better use of time than the rubber stamping of domestic surveillance and administration lawbreaking. Remember, like torture, surveillance almost never stops terrorism -- a contemporary surveillance apparatus is the single essential tool required to commit terrorism. And not just terrorism. Pet goats agree: the steady trickle of tip of the iceberg reports from Charlie Savage are nothing more than the tip of the iceberg. And there are very, very few investigative reporters like Charlie Savage who are even capable of shining a dim candle on the tip of the iceberg.
Of course, Duck Hunter Dick boasts about not putting his actions into writing, even his duck hunting exploits, so if these charges sound over the top, think of what they did that they are not shredding.

Another example of the Bush Administration's campaign to destroy the integrity of the U.S. Military. This is so sad, since it is coming from people who did everything they could to avoid serving in the military. They've "hollowed out" the army, now they're going to hollow out any dissent.

The ABA must go to Congress about this interference with the attorney's duty to vigorously defend the client.
The Joint Chiefs must go to Congress about this because their officers are being asked to swear allegiance to the Executive, not the Constitution.

We know that the Justice Department served as the political wing of the Republican Party - Karl Rove's dirty tricks machine. But as one whistleblower warned you, the military, having been covertly unleashed against the American people, is also serving as the political wing of Karl Rove-type dirty tricks special operations. This politicization is not new news. Domestic surveillance against America is largely run by the military and private contractors. And it is little more than a political dirty tricks and domestic economic crime operation. The War on Christmas is not a law enforcement operation, it is a war. It may sound funny. Think again. Life-threatening torture of an American patriot on American soil is just the tip of the iceberg -- not of what could theoretically happen on a slippery slope -- but what has already been reported.
The military has far more tricks up its sleeve than the Justice Department. We can see how they went after Siegelman and many others like him. But you will never see what the military is doing to America clandestinely.
You can replace the bandido, but the Bush Pioneers can still steal your Fritos.

- iCT200 series [23]
- Telium [12]
Combining technological power via its Telium2 platform with PCI PTS 2.x certified security, the iCT200 terminals offer numerous value added services. The EMV contactless payment option certified by MasterCard PayPass and Visa PayWave enables payments to be made both by card and by mobile phone. The success encountered by this range of products is notably due to its adoption throughout the world by customers benefiting from its operational reliability and transaction speed.
Two versions of the iCT200 exist: the iCT220 - black and white screen - and the iCT250, which comprises a color screen for advertising, product promotion and customer interface optimisation. Moreover, the Contactless payment option significantly reduces the time spent at the checkout.
Recent successes encountered by the iCT200 include customers such as international store chains in Turkey, who use this product to operate multiple banking applications and loyalty programmes, and a Latin American acquirer, who chose the iCT250 and its color screen for advertising and product promotion.
Patrice Le Marre, EVP Ingenico Terminals, stated: 18 months after its launch, the delivery of the one millionth iCT200 terminal demonstrates the relevance of the Ingenico proposal and strengthens our leadership on our markets. This result shows that the strategy for constantly improving our offer of secure products to our customers is recognised throughout the world.

Jan 16th 2009 8:34AM As a holy pally I am excited to be able to try either Ret or Prot for dailies, PvP or even the odd heroic ... but when it is raid time again I will be back to holy without a second thought.

Do you care about PvP anymore? {WoW}
Dec 16th 2008 3:26PM Back in BC a good friend and I had a 2v2 team we played when we didn't have any raids planned and were in it purely for the fun of it. As we got closer to the "high end" rewards the enjoyment dropped significantly. Take the emphasis away from loot and pvp is way more fun ... at least that is what we thought looking back on it.
Officers' Quarters: Guild control {WoW}
Dec 15th 2008 3:34PM We've tried to separate the guild tabs into meaningful "item dumps".
Tab 1 and 2 are for basic things that almost everyone can take. Spare cut gems, potions etc - everyone has access to these.
Tab 3 is for raid consumables like elixirs/flasks, repair bots etc - raiders/officers have access to this.
Tab 4 is for crafting/enchanting where only a "craftsman or banker" has access to.
Tab 5 is locked where we put all our expensive stuff. GM and bankers only have access to this tab.
This way if you need something from you don't have access to, you have to ASK someone.

Sure it's Maine in (almost) January, but my iPhone tells me the temps are topping 40 today and 50 tomorrow. It's a regular heat wave!
My advice? Get thee to the newly opened Gorgeous Gelato (434 Fore Street) and celebrate this balmy bliss with a creamy cold mound of sheer joy. I stopped in yesterday and tasted my way through half a dozen flavors (the proprietor will happily hand you mini spoonfuls to try) and each one was better than the next.
Wicked, wicked good. Or, more appropriately, "Molto, molto buona." With recipes hauled from their homeland, the husband and wife team are crafting the real deal here.
I nibbled a lush Panna Cotta, a nutty Pistachio and a few Italian favorites (A chocolate chip-ish Stracciatella and a fruitcake-like Bosco) before narrowing my choices. A rich, eggy Almond tempted me with it's marzapan-like vigor, but I settled on the sensational Cinnamon.
Not too sweet or potent — but certainly not subtle — the flavor was far from the "red hot" style of so many American ice creams. Instead, it was pure spice.
My only mistake was pairing it with the classic Chocolate. Wonderfully dark and fierce, the intense cocoa strangled the softer tones of the cinnamon. I should have known better!
Made daily on site, Gorgeous' gelato is whip-soft, fresh and concentrated.
If you question it's old-world authenticity, simply chat with the owner awhile. His charming accent (and firm opinions on espresso) will remove any doubt.

There's nothing quite like a 12-hour return flight to reinforce the fact that you've been on the opposite side of the globe. Up the ante by sandwiching that half day of travel between two additional 90-minute transfer flights, and there's a good bet you'll be served a large order of jet lag.
That's the story of my last 48 hours, so this blog will be short—I have to finish before I nod off.
The early-March Tour of Taiwan was Round 2 in my 2014 race program. Although I've never been to Asia before this year, I've now chalked up two consecutive trips to Asian races—Taiwan was preceded by February's Tour of Dubai.
Dubai's sky-scraping towers, mesmerizing endless waves of sandy desert, and hand-over-fist hospitality offer a fascinating contrast to, well, Taiwan's sky-scraping towers, lush and enchanting fog-draped mountains, and tremendous hospitality. I truly mean that—while some differences between the two locations are as stark as night and day, the similarities, such as the fact that both serve as venues for the simple act of riding bikes, makes the sport globally unifying.
As cycling delves into and grows in new pockets throughout the globe, the sport maintains its core: Pedal hard and first guy across the line wins! No matter one's nationality, the name of the sponsor emblazoned across a rider's jersey, the local landscape, nor traditional garb of the fans lining the roads, the simplicity of cycling makes it entirely comprehensible worldwide.
My calendar now takes me to my home in Spain for a brief rest, which will be followed in April by the hallowed northern Classics in Europe. Again, it's the contrasts between the historical Classics as compared with these relatively new races sprouting up across the globe that first come to mind. However, the training, the tactics, the results, and the pure act of pedaling remain the same. A guttered-out crosswind in Dubai mirrors the winds of Belgium—there just might be more sunscreen applied pre-race in Asia. And after another trans-oceanic trip later this spring, I'll be in the Tour of California, suffering a hard-driving peloton splintering against the slopes of Mount Diablo just as I was during the climb of 彰化東外環道 (Changhua East Outer Ring Road) in Taiwan.
But next up for me: a recuperative nap.

I believe I would call it Gothic Revival. There is a picture linked of a very similar chair. It's of the same era as the Lincoln rocker and very similar in style but without the rockers....and I would upholster it in a plush or cotton velveteen and tuft the back....or not. Here's a link to a lincoln rocker. http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/6349345 Linda c |
Here is a link that might be useful: Arm chair
Thank you both for responding. Casey, I plan to put the chair in my guest room that is British Colonial inspired. I'm glad you agree. I, too, would love to see leather, but my skill set and budget can't handle it. Maybe someday! Linda c, the chair you posted is definitely similar. I will look for more Lincoln rockers for inspiration. I do think velvet is the way to go for this chair. So velvet it will be! In the meantime, I found this picture in one of my Miller guides. Pardon my poor photography...my scanner is broken. Now to decide whether to do a continuous seat/back or separate them like in the pictures. Thanks again! |

A thread for talking about all things on two wheels! Well, bicycles really.
I have fallen in love with cycling over the last year, helped by my visit to Amsterdam, which has to be the bike capital of the world
Any other bike lovers out there?
This can also be a thread for discussion on bike safety, maintenance etc. As well as the professional sport too. Wouldn't mind a chat about that lying bastard Lance Armstrong too.

I just bought a new Whildpool electric dryer about 1 month ago. Each time it is used the whole house stinks of my particular brand of laundry detergent. I'v switched to unscented because I can't stand my whole house reeking like laundry soap and my eyes and lungs burn whenever the dryer is on. I clean the lint filter with each load and I have checked to make certain the vent is connected. Even with the unscented laundry soap, eyes and lungs still burn, although it doesn't smell so bad in the house. Any ideas what might be causing this? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ambient chemical fumes can cause such an effect ... such as if the room the dryer is in, or nearby areas, are recently painted. However, you describe the odor specifically as that of your laundry detergent, so seemingly paint isn't the cause. Just because the vent is connected doesn't mean the exhaust ducting isn't clogged. Have you confirmed strong airflow is present at the outlet outside the house? |
Your problem is due to either insufficient rinsing, too much detergent, hard water? First of all, if like so many other units, you have a FL that uses so little water there isn't a large puddle during washing and rinsing, you need to adjust the water pressure sensor (clockwise ) until the water level is increased to a reasonable level (barely up to the metal flange of the drum). Choose Extra Rinse for every load. If you have a top loader, disregard the above. the issue is not the dryer despite you thinking it is. :) something is amiss with the washing system. |
I overlooked regards to my reply above that the dryer is electric. Gas dryers, not electric, are more likely to generate odd odors from pulling in ambient chemical fumes, due to the flame at the burner. |

Chad Campbell got off to a hot start en route to a four-under 67 at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, on Thursday, good enough for a share of the first-round lead alongside Vaughn Taylor and Colt Knost.
Campbell birdied four of his first seven holes on the par-71 Harbour Town Golf Links layout, finishing with six birdies and two bogeys.
Taylor and Knost joined him atop the leaderboard with solid finishes -- Knost nabbing birdies at three of his last five holes and Taylor holing out from the fairway for an eagle at his final hole, the par-four ninth.
US veteran Jim Furyk, the 2010 champion, was a stroke back on 68 along with Harris English, South Korean Charlie Wi and Matt Every.
Three more players -- Blake Adams, John Mallinger and Chez Reavie -- were tied on 69.
England's Luke Donald, who must finish eighth or better to hold on to his world No 1 ranking, opened with a four-over 75.
Donald teed off on 10 and bogeyed 12 and the par-five 15th.
Campbell's share of the first-round lead was his first since he led the first round of the Masters in 2009. His only top 10 finish last year was at the British Open.
"I haven't felt like I've been that far off," Campbell said. "But the results haven't been good at all. I feel like I've been working on the right things and heading in the right direction."
Campbell drained an eight-foot birdie putt at the second hole, and built more momentum with birdies at the fourth and fifth. At the par-three seventh he sank a 20-footer for birdie.
"It's nice to get off to a good start here," he said. "It was a little tricky with the winds, and it's always a tough golf course."
Taylor grabbed his share of the lead at his final hole, where his shot with a sand wedge from 103 yards out found the hole.
"I hit a smooth one," Taylor said. "Came off right, right at it, and fortunate enough to go in."
Knost -- who birdied 14, 16 and 18 -- is hoping a strong showing here this week can jumpstart a season that has so far included just one top 20 finish.
"It's just my kind of course," Knost said. "You have to hit it fairly straight. Distance isn't that big a deal. The greens are real small, just give yourself a lot of chances."

I am getting to ready to cook on an induction cooktop(not yet installed). Our Canadian Tire is offering the 11-piece Kitchen aid Gourmet essentials(induction compatible)for half price. I am also attracted to the Kirkland 10-piece set which is 5-ply with a copper and aluminum sandwich. I forgot to bring my magnet to Costco today, but looking on the costco.com website, it said that it was suitable for induction. Both will roughly come in at the same price, which one do you think is better?
thanks Maria |
Follow-Up Postings:
Both of these sets are made by the same company. Both are impact bonded base construction, but the Kirkland base is much more substantial. The Gourmet essential set has a silicone over cast handle, oven safe to 400 degrees. The Kirkland is an all cast stainless handle so it's broiler safe (nonstick pieces under the Kirkland name are oven safe to 400 as well) On the performance side, the Kirkland saucepans have a "tulip" shape so they perform much better when making reduction or pan sauces. If the price is equal, Kirkland is a better value. Hope this helps. |

Immensely, thank you very much for answering! |
I just bought the Kirkland set over the weekend for use on my induction cooktop. I have only used a few of the pans so far, and the dishes have turned out great. The pieces also feel very sturdy and look nice. I am happy with them, and for the price it's a great deal. |
- Posted by sienna2007 (My Page) on Fri, May 16, 08 at 5:18
I am looking at the Kirkland set for my soon-to-be-installed induction cooktop. I would like to know if the mirror look is hard to keep looking clean. Does it show every fingerprint? Does the copper line look tarnished after a while? It's so shiny (and beautiful) in the store that I wonder how long it stays looking this nice with regular use. |

Recent Testimonial:
Our group had a wonderful stay in your rental homes. It was EXTREMELY convenient to have a kitchen loaded with pots, pans, dishes, serving utensils, commercial appliances, tables, table clothes (all the things that I would have wanted and have to pack and bring with me were already there). That made a huge difference to me! The grounds are beautiful and the hot pool is so nice! I will be coming back to Aura Soma and be recommending your accommodations to my family who travel to Lava frequently. I think the only thing that I would have liked would be more fans; either ceiling fans or portable ones.
Thank You!

Academy Testimonials
Posted on March 8, 2014 by SLRadmin
"Brian, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you for your instruction earlier this week. Hopefully, with lots of hard work and practice, I can enjoy the sport I love even more. You did a great job of using non golf examples to help explain where and how adjustments needed to be made. I am working my way thru the videos now. I'll keep in touch on progress that I make."
Brian Gardner
"Brian, thank you for all the time you spent with me during my fitting. You exceeded my expectations on time spent, knowledge shared and results. I just love this driver. In the last three rounds, I've hit 8, 9 and 8 fairways. And, some of the ones I missed is because I'm using old lines and landing areas. I'm hitting the ball much further by 15-25 yards. What was a good spot to place the ball is now in the rough. My confidence has also gone up. I'm reaching 400 yard par 4's in 2, never could make some of them. Greens in regulation has also increased from 4-6 to 8-10. My best ever score was an 84 and average was about 92-95. In 3 rounds I've used the new driver, I shot 93, 82 and 86. If I putted better, the 82 could have easily been 79. Thanks again for all of the help. You have convinced me NEVER to buy off the rack clubs. When I'm ready for new clubs, you are my go to guy. Thanks again."
Marty Manich
"Brian, thank you for the great golf lessons last Sunday and Monday. Jim and I both learned a lot about chipping and pitching and will keep practicing. I am trying to keep my left arm straight or extended through the follow through to release the club properly. I played in my women's league last Wednesday and did a lot better. Thanks again for a great weekend. Swan Lake Resort is a great place to spend a weekend. See you next year, with more friends."
Sue Folkman and Jim Stockwell
"Brian, thanks so much for working with Ashton last week. His putting game improved immediately. He really appreciated your help. I also appreciate the fact that you didn't pressure him to "Trade up" in clubs since the ones he has are basically the same as the newer designs. You deserve much credit for putting the golfer's best interest in mind ahead of sales. We'll recommend you and the Golf Academy to others in a heartbeat!"
Vince and Austin Duke
"Brian, I really enjoyed your teaching method. I learned more about my golf swing in two sessions that I have in the 45 years of playing golf. I feel it was the best money I ever spent for golf instruction. I really enjoyed the practice drills such as the hockey drill, and the (A) and (H) sand shot drill. I also have used the illustration for the clock to make the downswing. I saw immediate improvement in my driver. I'm now able to work my ball right to left or left to right on command. I like using the video to review my lessons before I go play golf. The changes I have made has me very happy but my playing partners are scratching their heads. I would highly recommend to anyone who is struggling with their golf game to get in touch with you golf academy at Swan Lake Resort. Your teaching principals can help anyone to enjoy the game of golf."
David P. Sholl
"Brian, I just wanted to start off by saying that the changes we made in my swing concerning my hands has helped me out tremendously. I went from hitting my 7-iron about 155 yards to hitting it 175-180 now after the changes that we made. The way you taught me the drills to practice and the way you presented to me were very easy to understand. I had told you from the beginning that I had not had any lessons and was looking to take my game to the next level. I feel like the things you have taught me will help get me there. Not only have we worked on my swing, we have also worked on my putting stroke. I have worked very hard at the things you have taught me and I feel like my game is becoming sharper than ever. Putts are dropping more and I'm hitting more fairways and greens. That is what I need to do if I want to make it to the next level. Another thing that has helped me after our lesson together is my accuracy and ability to work the ball in either direction. Hands are a huge factor in the golf swing and I wasn't aware of this until our lesson. Again, my game has improved tremendously and I can't thank you enough. You are one of the best instructors I have had help me."
Caleb (CJ) Armand
"Brian, thank you so much for my awesome lesson. The tips you gave me really helped and I hope to continue to improve on the strategies you taught me. Friday evening after my lesson, I played just horrendous...but my rounds on Saturday and Sunday were pretty good. I scored a 98 twice on Sunday. I have NEVER broken that 100 stroke barrier before and I owe it all to you. Thanks so much!"

People also like strawberries because they feel emotionally connected to them, Jewell said. Many people remember their grandparents growing strawberries in their backyards, or eating strawberry shortcakes at family celebrations.
Berries also are a sign of spring, Jewell said. Once strawberry season hits the U.S., spring and summer are right around the corner.
"It's (the strawberry is) a positive, happy fruit," Jewell said.
As with strawberries, many people fondly remember picking blueberries when they were children, Curry said. The taste of a blueberry can evoke those good memories.
Strawberries and blueberries are undeniably popular, but what about blackberries?
"As growers, we have worked hard to improve the taste profile for blackberries and we feel this has an impact on demand and consumption," Castaneda said.
Pure Fresh's growing operations are Guatemala-based Planesa S.A. and Pure Fresh Chile. Castaneda said the company works closely with the University of Arkansas to develop new blackberry varieties. Its newest variety, Stella, is a supersweet and firm blackberry that Planesa grows in Guatemala.
Blackberry varieties have improved and availability of the fruit has increased. Retailers and consumers can be more confident when buying them now, Jewell said.
Curry said that as blackberry production grows, so does demand for the fruit. It's popular for the same reasons other berries are: convenience, nutrition, flavor, versatility and availability, he said.
Year-round availability of blackberries strengthens demand, Castaneda said. Consumers can buy blackberries anytime. He also said he credits retailers for building demand by promoting fresh blackberries.
"When you look at the consumption curve, blackberry consumption is increasing more than any other berry," Jewell said.
She said there have been double-digit increases in consumption over the past few years.
"People are finding all different ways to use them and incorporate them into recipes," Jewell said. "That's my favorite berry."

Money puts non profit over their goal for new project.
The Child andFamily Center , a local non-profit, has much to celebratetoday, as they have received a massive $200,000 grant from theAnnenberg Foundation.
This comes after the Child and Family Center embarked on a newproject to provide electronic health records for the people theyassist. The total price tag of the project was estimated to be$635,000.
At the time, The Weingart Foundation vowed to supply a $200,000grant if the Center could raise the rest of the needed money.
So, in essence, with the 200k Annenberg grant, the Center nowwill receive the other 200k promised by the Weingart Foundation,thus reaching their goal for the project.
The additional money has already been raised by privatedonations and a $50,000 grant from the Parsons Foundation.

As an entrepreneur, it's up to you to create the kind of workplace and company culture that will attract great talent.
This can be daunting -- how will you help employees to stay engaged in their work and care about your customers? Integrating a charitable component into your business is a great way to start, but some entrepreneurs have trouble finding a model that works. During music festival season this summer, I've been thinking, what better way than through music?

Duranta, sapphire showers. I have one in a hanging basket, in full sun and was very heavy with flowers. Now that it's getting hotter, it often wilts before I get a chance to water and isn't flowering as much. Does this plant need full sun or should I leave this smaller one in the greenhouse? Or should I pot it in a HB and hang it outside in morning sun? |

Moonie...how often do you water? Duranta needs bright, indirect sun. No direct. Try morning sun. Toni |
Toni - I water every day. Even with shade cloth, it gets over 100 degrees everyday. This particular duranta in the pic is doing okay but I have one hanging outside that has stopped blooming. It's been in full sun, til later in the afternoon. It should probably be moved now that it's getting later into summer with long hot days. It gets watered everyday as well. Think I should fertilizer after moving it? |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (email@example.com) on Fri, Jul 15, 11 at 14:42
When was the last time your Duranta was fertilized? If over a month, yes. The soil should be moist before adding fertilizer. Especially if you use chemical fertilizers..roots can burn if dry. Since it needs daily watering, give it a drink early in the morning, then about an hour later, fertilize. BTW, it's a beautiful plant. Toni |

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the 2-Day Mt Fuji, Hakone and Bullet Train Tour from Tokyo. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Very well organized bus tour. The tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable and great customer service. We learned a lot from the guide on history, environment, political and social aspect of Tokyo and Japan. Strongly recommend to continue this service to tourists. It made up with the usual cloudy and foggy day at the 5th station.
Our side trip around Hakone was great. Some suggestions would be helpful for those tourists that don't speak Japanese: better information on how to take transportation around Hakone to avoid losing the valuable time for the one-day city exploration.
We had a memorable journey to Mount Fuji. The guide was friendly and helpful. He shared many interesting Japanese cultures and he even taught us how to fold beautiful origami Mt Fuji. That was lovely.
Li Yen H
The experience was beyond our expectation. Great value as well.
Even in rains, we were very deligjted with your tour guide, She is very responsible.
Rafael Jose B
This was a very nice experience, great guide and Pince Hotel at Hakone was very good. Breakfast is averarage.
Manish V

Very good tour, tour guide was great, excellent place, hotel was great.
Tour guide was outstanding! Hakone is a very beautiful village with outstanding restaurants. The hotel was top-rate & the views are wonderful! Highly recommend!
A very enjoyable experience!! We get to visit Mt Fuji and have a whole day to explore Hakone by ourselves. Not to mention that the hot spring there is superb!
A fantastic experience! Well worth the money and time. Mt Fuji was amazing and Hakone is great fun.
Experience 6 means of transport in 2 days (mainly coach, ferry, ropeway, cablecar, train and shinkanzen) through very scenic spots. Unfortunately could not view Mt Fuji due to rain.
Shuang Yuan K
My mother and I stayed at the Sunroute Plaza Shinjuku, a good hotel! We walked 10 minutes to the Keio Plaza hotel for the tour pickup. The pickup point was well posted near the hotel reception. There were many like us that day. The tour guide was not there early to attend to early comers and give out confirmation slips. So the bus left Keio Plaza hotel late to connect us to the tour bus at the bus terminal to Mt Fuji. We rode for an hour and half before the first designated stop and toilet break. Then onwards another half hour to the 5th station of Mt Fuji. The guide on board the bus, was cheerful and gave interesting commentary. He was also very helpful in attending to each traveler's needs, mostly on catching the train back to Tokyo. We had good views of Mt Fuji from various points up the mountain and when taking the cable car. The boat cruise was short about 15 minutes, but was enjoyable and with beautiful views. The tour bus dropped us right in front of our hotel in Hakone Yumoto Fujima. The hotel is on a hill with good green views yet a short walk from the train station. Room is large with both western beds and tatami beds, they will set it up upon request. The open hot bath in the hotel has both outdoor and indoor pools and not crowded at all. We spent the second day taking the local train in Hakone to visit the various sights which are all very accessible from the train stations. We could find our way around quite easily because of good brochures and maps. Strongly recommend a 2-day trip instead of one day. While Mt Fuji itself is awe inspiring, Hakone offers much more.
Dominic L
A great job! Well done!
Alastair M
United Kingdom
The whole trip from start to finish was excellent! Very well organized and extremely informative. Not too rushed considering how much land was covered on the first day. Would have maybe liked a bit more time on Mount Fuji. I was very lucky to have had great weather, so there were great views of and from Mount Fuji. The hotel was very nice, I was in the Lakeside Annex and the restaurant there was very reasonable compared to the other restaurants at the Prince complex. The service was great and food excellent. I loved the Onsen bath experience. The second day, having the Hakone 2 day pass, was brilliant! I am not usually keen on organized tours but this one gave you the best of both worlds, being in a tour the first day and then the freedom to choose what to do on your own the second with free access to local transportation. The trip back to Tokyo in the Shinkansen was a great way to end it and experience such a marvelous train. Top Marks, definitely do this trip in Tokyo!
Ying Z
The tour was great, Hakone is so beautiful! Schedule your second day well, and make the most out of the Hakone day pass ticket.
Ninh L
Great experience.

"This lawsuit also comes at the same time that attacks on the free speech rights of pro-life, pro-family and Christian citizens and media have been increasing all across the West." - LifeSite News
A Canadian Roman Catholic priest and former gay sex-trade worker in Montreal, not to mention a former pro-choice Canadian politician who supports abortion and same-sex marriage is suing LifeSite News for libel. Evidently LifeSite referred to the priest as a pro-abortion politico, while the priest claims he is merely "pro-choice" - legal double talk. Before renouncing his political career after an ultimatum from the Vatican, Gravel opposed a bill which would recognize the rights of an unborn child injured as a result of a crime as separate from the injury of the mother. (Wiki) Not a pro-life mindset on any level. Gravel's lawsuit would put LifeSite out of business.
On record for numerous attacks against Canada's Cardinal Ouellet and Church teaching regarding abortion, what follows is a summary of Gravel's other anti-Church rants:
- In 2003, Fr. Gravel wrote an article criticizing the Vatican's stance on homosexuality.
- In 2004, he told Radio-Canada that he would not stop receiving Communion despite his support for abortion.
- In 2006, he led a group of 19 Quebecois priests in signing a letter condemning the Church's teachings on homosexuality.
- Again in 2006, he defied Vatican directives by taking up a position as Member of Parliament for Repentigny, Quebec.
- As MP in 2007, he opposed the Unborn Victims of Crime Act, stating that he feared it would "open the door to a re-criminalization of women who have abortions, and that's not to be desired."
- Finally, in 2008, he backed the decision to award infamous abortionist Henry Morgentaler the Order of Canada, and criticized the Canadian bishops for their opposition.
Pastoral malfeasance.
"Father Gravel gave a long interview last summer to the 'gay' magazine Fugues (June 2, 2005), published in Montreal. It was a true confession of a disturbed priest, which he would never have made in a Catholic publication.. He was born in 1952 in the small village of Saint-Damien-de-Brandon. From ages 16 to 24, he was a 'gay' prostitute in Montreal and took drugs. After a terrible sexual relation with a client that led him to the hospital, he became a bartender at 'gay' establishments. At 32, he entered the seminary in a dramatic change to fulfill a childhood dream, but with no real spiritual conversion. Journalist Patrick Brunette does not understand how someone can be 'gay' and want to become a priest, since the Church has always condemned homosexuality. - Source
So who admitted this creep to Holy Orders in the first place?

Rombout Verhulst Dutch, 1671 Marble H: 24 3/4 in. 84.SA.743
Although represented in the artificial format of a bust, cut off at mid-chest, the marble statue of Jacob van Reygersberg nevertheless strikes the viewer with its extraordinary realism. The sculptor Rombout Verhulst conveyed the figure's motion and spontaneity through the twisted head, furrowed brow, and pursed lips. Verhulst's facility in differentiating textures--Van Reygersberg's shield has a smooth hardness, his cravat a lacy delicacy, and his skin an unusual, satiny texture-heightens the realism. Decorative scrolls, which also lead the viewer's gaze up toward the subject's face, is soften the figure's sudden truncation at mid-chest. Jacob van Reygersberg was a wealthy provincial politician who had recently been sent to the States General, the national governing body of the Netherlands, to represent the Dutch province of Zeeland. His armor identifies him as a member of the noble class.

Nursing Students Take Top Honors at Statewide Competition
see more news & events
The oboe curriculum at Capital University focuses on the study of basic warm-ups and scale patterns, traditional etudes, and solo repertoire in order to develop both expressive and technical aspects of playing the oboe. At every level of study, proper attention is given to the making and adjusting of reeds for oboe and English horn. Regardless of degree program, during four years ot study students are presented with a variety of excerpts from standard works for symphony orchestra.
Oboe students at Capital are a close knit group who support and inspire each other in their pursuit of the musical craft of playing the oboe. They can often be found whittling away at reeds together with the bassoon students in the Double Reed Room, which is equipped with a gouging machine, shaper and various other tools used for making oboe reeds. The Conservatory provides oboe students with the opportunity to perform in several outstanding ensembles. These include:
Opportunities for solo performance are abundant at the Conservatory. During the school term, every oboe student is required to present one solo performance at weekly departmental recitals. Depending on the degree program, there are performance requirements for complete solo recitals in the junior and senior years of study. Student solo recitals and chamber music concerts are performed at the Huntington Recital Hall.
For more information about the Oboe Studio at the Capital University Conservatory of Music, please contact Dr. Secan via email.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
LIBYA/MIDDLE EAST-Slovak Analyst Sees West's Gains From Libya Operation Impaired by Syria Events

Commentary by Peter Schutz: "Last Ramadan (?)" - Sme Online
Monday August 22, 2011 10:53:19 GMT
Sure, the strong constitution of Al-Qadhafi, who has survived dozens of
assassination attempts, should not be called into question. However, if
the already disturbed balance is increasingly shifting to the side of the
attackers -- which is evident -- the finale is probably within sight.
Nevertheless, what will happen after the Libyan D-Day is unclear.
The last thing that the West should feel after Al-Qadhafi's fall is
satisfaction. Sure, the no-fly zone organized through the UN resolution
was decisive, but it also laid bare NATO's weaknesses and the crisis of
relations among allies down to the core. Obama's refusal to wage a third
war has left the European ability to make order and not to allow murders
in its closest neighborhood in a state of undress. The no-fly zone has
stripped bare the budgets of France and particularly Great Britain.
Their effort to get on the right side of history in connection with the
"African spring" and clear their conscience with regards to the mistakes
of the past (pardon granted to Al-Qadhafi's terrorist) has been made even
less important by the events in Syria. Bashar Assad has been demonstrating
on live TV for many months what the intervention in Libya was supposed to
prevent, doing so to such an extent that even Al-Qadhafi himself is
probably amazed.
The West has no answer to the question of why the Libyan dictator had to
be smoked out, while the Syrian one did not. The debt crisis and military
weakness cannot be used as an argument that the so-called principle of
responsibility for protection, which opened the door for the intervention
in Libya, somehow doe s not apply to Syrian people. Ironically, Syria is
incomparably more important than Libya in terms of strategy -- thanks
alone to the fact that, as the key ally of Iran, it supports both
Hezbollah and HAMAS.
If a more democratic and decent regime comes into power after Al-Qadhafi,
the West will, of course, welcome it. But it will not gain much, as Libya
is as small as a flea when it comes to oil production. This is how Great
Britain, France, and some other Europeans declared their position as far
as the "African spring" is concerned. Only the form of the new regime will
