Hair ye, hair ye!
Some pages from a kids book I'm working on entitled 'The girl with the longest hair in the world', the idea behind it is pretty self explanatory! The illustrations are created using watercolour and pencil which is a bit of a first, but I really enjoyed using these materials, they give a much softer feel.

I just owned... No, I did more than that; I don't think there's even a verb for what I did. I completely and totally just made French Class Girl look like a gigantic asshole, then rendered her speechless.
This was not unwarranted. I'm sure most of you know about the recent controversy over a girl here in Mississippi wanting to take her girlfriend to the prom. (My friend just made me so proud by supporting the girl! ♥ I wish my friend wasn't so far away, so I could give her a big hug...) Well, Miss French Class Girl, queen of the closet cases, was ENRAGED by the fact that someone would dare try and take a same-sex date to a dance! She posted this really bitchy thing on facebook, and I felt the need to comment.
I very calmly asked French Class Girl how it would hurt anyone if this girl went to the prom. She had a giant fit and replied back, telling me to shut the fuck up and kiss her ass. I said I'd really prefer not to, and I asked her why she was being so rude. I also asked her why she was so afraid of dissent. She did not answer either question and made some shitty remark I don't remember all that well, and I said, "Just come out of the closet."
She never replied back.
But that's not even the best part. After I had finished arguing, a girl she absolutely ADORES enters the fray and basically tells her to suck it 'cause I'm right, and she's wrong. (It was not Irritating Girl, but rather some senior French Class Girl seems to have a thing for. The senior is really cool, though, from what I can tell.)
It was the greatest. THE GREATEST!
Haha, oh, some random ass told me to get a life because I had the audacity to DISAGREE with French Class Girl. Oh, I am soooo hurt! In fact, I just might go throw myself off my house. A random girl I will never meet hates me!
Ahahaha, fuck them. French Class Girl, you, I, and the entire internet all know that all you want is a gaping mouthful of pussy, so shut up. I have more of a life than you ever will because I am not some self-loathing bitch with anger issues who cries to her friends every time someone has a different opinion. Stick to Irritating Girl; that senior is too good for you.
...Oh, my god. This is the meanest I have ever been to anyone in my entire life. Wow. I feel kinda bad now.
I like the mean, personally, it's really funny :3
And YOU TOTALLY PWNED HER ASS I AM SO PROUD OF YOU
Always hold your head up high
If you don't, you'll never see the face of your killer.
It actually felt really good to be that mean. D: She really pissed me off, and the whole crying to her friend about that meeeeean girl who disagreed made it 10x worse.
She is so easy to pwn. Soooo easy.
i'm so proud of you! ^^ and if this was facebook? i would like this...then unlike it just so i could like it again....lol yoiu pwned AND you had back up...that was....double pwn!
Hi, I'm a reading Rainbow! :)
And I wasn't backed up by just anybody! I was backed up by one of her crushes! Haha! She got pwned to the 23423th power.
Like those people who are just such stupid little homophobes.
And so, they can't be swayed.
So, rather than getting angry at them, you should just laugh at them.
I would love to just go to Westboro Baptist Church mass, and then they'd say something like "and God hates red haired people, and hair dye".
I'd just go *giggle*.
"Hey! are you laughing at us?"
"No, not at all, sir. Tell me, just who ELSE does God hate?"
All you have to do is think "I am obviously so much smarter and better than these people, because they're all just so stupid and unnaccepting."
Just think how much better you are.
Hai-kus are ea-sy
But some-times they don't make sense
Right now I'm laughing my ass off at her because she's getting all her whiny little friends (who she probably wants to have sex with) to tell me to get a life, as if that hurts. HA! Here is a girl who is older than me, and she's acting like a little 6-year-old.
Then some dumb fuck said he's glad they canceled the prom (for everyone, not just the girl!) because of "the gays".
All these uber-religious homophobes are so funny... They rant and rave and piss and moan about how their god hates gay people, but they do so many things that are against the Bible! They eat shellfish, wear polyester, shave, disrespect their parents, get angry, have sexual thoughts... They're all a bunch of stupid hypocrites.
The WBC makes me LOL. You know why? Because they hate Sweden! How could anybody hate Sweden!? They are protesting a high school in Baton Rouge, LA later this week, and I'm on Spring Break, so I may just attend the counter-protest. My mom will probably be in BR anyway.
but Sweden is obviously in commune with the devil. How could you not see that?
...that some can feel so incompetent at becoming truly educated that they consciously restrict themselves to a single source of knowledge that is labeled as being both total and invincible. It's all much too easy! And you become unassailable (in your own eyes).
Logic fails! And a culture of professional homophobes emerges as one of their marks of distinction :(
After a while the homophobes become amusing rather than enraging and that's where the fun starts.
The student's suing the school, eh? I hope she wins.
I think it's funny how they're all sitting around telling ME to get a life when they are the ones filled with irrational hatred. And then French Class Girl in general... pffft. No one should take her seriously.
Yeah, the ACLU is suing the school. If the school wins, then there is just no hope for humanity. Ever.
Ah Super Duck....
I swear to the Lord, I still can't see, why Democracy means, everybody but me.

It has been a while since i have posted on here, but i thought since its the start of a new year i could actually make this year count in some sort of way.
I can't help but feel that since i cheated things are just slowly disappearing in to uncertainty. I admitted my wrong doings and left it up to him in what he wanted to do and gave him the space he needed. But he said he still wanted to be with me, so i guess that was his decision. In all i felt sad and annoyed; annoyed that i didn't realize i had strong feelings for another guy and denied it for a very long time, but i also miss him a little. My BF said that if we were to be together again or at least give it another shot then id have to stop being friends with the other guy, i said that was understandable and began to try make things right and said my apologies to the other guy and haven't spoken to him since.
Since then i just kind of just of questioned what is really important to me and i have just spent time with friends and gone out with them and just enjoyed myself as well as help them. they said it was nice to see the old me again, and i kind of agreed with them. it has been nice. i have also tried to make myself better in different ways such as sort out my phone amongst other things and get rid of all the numbers which could be potentially problematic and just generally clean up my act and just be a good boyfriend.
Things with my boyfriend have been a little better and had a nice Christmas and new year with him and just recently got him a calender for 2013 as a little surprise as hes been ill and haddnt gotten a chance to replace his old one, yet i just feel like their is just something wrong. its that gut feeling that usually ends up being right which worries me. as to what it is i dunno, it could just be me as i still feel guilty possibly or maybe in the long term i think he just wants something more. some part of me things hes not really changed, or i dunno. i think its possibly myself as well.
i came to the decision that i just want to go back to the way i was before i did all this sleezyness with hookups/apps/websites just everything in general really. i just dont want anything to do with that life style anymore. i see some of my best friends getting engaged or going abroad to live with the other half and they all just seem to be really happy - almost fairy tale like .... i think i want a simple year this year, less complicated less drama less hurtful and just more about building my college grades, friends and just re building my self confidence as well as having a real understanding in who i want to be, while having a better relationship with my BF.
i can't help but feel that with my university applications it sets the standards of what will happen next - i can see me moving quite far and i dont think my BF could do with that as he has other responsibility... does that mean a long distance ? as well as him potentially wanting something more than just monogamy ... which i fear we could want the exact opposite.
i just kind of want to stop feeling guilty and move on, but i dunno how to.. i just kind of want a happy ending concerning my future career prospects as well as love life... i think i want my happy ending with him, but that just scares me. what exactly do i do?
am i just over thinking things?
I know this is a long post and i appreciate all the replies i might get, i dont want anyone to hold back, and give me honesty.

Well not bugs exactly, but about 1/8 inch long thin white "lines". That's what they look like. Very tiny, thin and white and they jump. Lice maybe? My orchid is in bud and I don't know what to do about this problem. I would rather not transplant it right now. I am in Minnesota and brought it home from Fl. 3 years ago and this is the 1st bud it has produced. I have poured water through the bark (soil) and found them floating and jumping in the water under the rock the orchid is sitting on. Help is really needed. Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Might be springtails. I do not think they are harmful, though they can indicate growing conditions that might be too wet for a particular orchid. |
- Posted by orchidnick z9Ca (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Nov 30, 13 at 0:23
Don't know what they are but soak them with a solution of 1 part any alcohol, 1 part liquid detergent soap and 8 parts water and they'll probably stop jumping. Nick |
- Posted by strawberryjam z4MN (My Page) on Sat, Nov 30, 13 at 10:00
Thanks for the info. I guess I will pour the alcohol, soap water through the planting medium and that should do it. Cause that is where they are. Is that right? Thanks again. I turned the fan on and my orchid is in a sunny window so then it should dry out faster. |
- Posted by strawberryjam z4MN (My Page) on Wed, Dec 25, 13 at 15:41
Just a follow up. In the water I use to water it I added just a drop or 2 of dawn dish soap and still do and I got rid if the "bugs". I think they were springtails. My plant is in full bloom, lavender with a dark purple edge and fragrant. |
Sounds exactly like bois duval scale, to me one of the more insidious species |
Jumping?? Sounds like Springtails. Jane |
Oops! Didn't see the jumping part, read too quickly. They are right, springtails :) |

Hobby Lobby: Where the real war is
I am thankful for last week's 5 to 4 Supreme Court decision that rejected the federal government case against Hobby Lobby. At issue was Hobby Lobby's ability to eliminate certain birth control options covered by their healthcare plan due to its religious beliefs.
Prior to the decision, and subsequent to the passage of the healthcare law (ACA or Obamacare), Hobby Lobby was faced with essentially four options.
The first was to simply comply with the federal government, avoid all penalties, fees, and legal costs, but betray their sincerely held religious beliefs.
The second option was to drop healthcare coverage for its employees, assume over $20 million in penalties annually, and have their female employees pay for their own healthcare coverage.
Third, Hobby Lobby could have continued to cover only 16 of the 20 birth control methods that were mandated by the department of Health and Human Services (HHS), remain true to its religious convictions, but pay over $400 million annually in penalties. This third option, more than likely, would have put them out of business.
But the fourth and final option was to do what they did: fight judicial challenges by the federal government all the way to the Supreme Court, and hopefully win, and option four was what came to a dramatic conclusion last week.
While I was not surprised by the outcome, I was surprised by the reaction of those who characterized the decision as allowing businesses to use religion to oppress and deny the rights of women.
From the very beginning it seemed opponents of Hobby Lobby were positioning this case as "big corporations" versus women rights in an attempt to further a "war on women" narrative.
However, anyone who read the decision, or listened to an objective summary of it, would have observed how the Court stipulated that their decision only applied to businesses that were "closely held" (i.e., owned by an individual or small group like a family) and not any "big corporation."
Additionally, Hobby Lobby did not violate the twenty-thousand-page ACA law. Rather, they were objecting to one of the mandates written by HHS within the tens of thousands of regulations intended to enforce the healthcare law.
I was also surprised to learn that this case was not filed by Hobby Lobby against the federal government. Nor was it filed by the female employees against Hobby Lobby. Rather, it was HHS who went after Hobby Lobby all the way to Supreme Court.
The HHS characterized the owners of Hobby Lobby as religious extremists who did not care about the health needs of their female employees and denied them birth control options.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that, not only does Hobby Lobby pay its employees twice the minimum wage, but even before the healthcare law was passed, Hobby Lobby's healthcare plans made available all 20 birth control options.
However, when the ACA law was passed, and because of the possible abortive nature of four of the 20 birth control methods provided by its healthcare plans, the company declined to pay for the four contraceptives in question, but continued to cover the remaining 16.
The opponents of Hobby Lobby insinuated that not only was the arts and craft store chain restricting birth control from female employees, but they were also inflicting undue economic burden on them.
They made these claims all the while knowing that the chain still provided full coverage of the remaining 16 birth control methods. And the four that were not covered included two "morning after" pills ranging in cost of $20-60, and two intrauterine devices (IUDs) ranging in costs of $500 to $1000 — all of which are considered to be abortive in nature, and therefore contrary to their sincerely held religious convictions.
Interestingly, and somewhat disturbing, none of the objectors of the decision insinuated that Hobby Lobby was asserting phony religious objections to the regulation or question their religious convictions. Rather, they inherently asserted that Hobby Lobby's religious convictions were irrelevant at best, and at worst (and more insidiously), their convictions were oppressive and dangerous.
At the end of the day, this case really wasn't about the women of Hobby Lobby. It wasn't about unfair treatment and forcing economic hardships onto women nor was it about denying healthcare access given the many affordable alternatives. So, what was it about?
Logic tells me that this case was really about a federal government using women and our sensitivities to impose regulations on anyone who opposes them based on religious grounds.
The real war being perpetuated here is by the federal government (and like-minded individuals and entities) against religion, particularly Christianity. They seem to be against those who would think and act based on religious conviction when it does not comport to their notion of a progressive morality.
How else could one rationally justify allowing thousands of women to lose their health coverage and more than likely their jobs, yet saying it was worth it in order to force a private company to pay for a 50-cent pill?
Thankfully, Hobby Lobby had the resources to fight the goliath of the federal government, but I shudder to think how different the outcome would have been if it had been a small business like my own.

barrack obama provoked fury in the U.S. by casually devoting mere moments to the deaths of 295 people aboard a Malaysian airliner on Thursday in Wilmington, Delaware, and then launching into jokes and his prepared remarks on the need to expand America's transportation infrastructure.
brushing off a gnat and getting on with their program. Even if no American citizens were aboard, you would expect the President to show more compassion and feeling. But I should not have been surprised since on other somber occasions I have seen him act in the same way---smiling selfies taken at a somber service--for just one instance. I am sorry but this man has no substance and is just an empty shirt with an education only interested in promoting his own interests.
"I" have directed "MY" security team..." He just can't resist using those personal pronouns because....well, because he really thinks he owns them and he thinks he enhances his own importance with such speech. Not surprising.
Hey, hold your horses, save some of that venom for Vladimir Putin and his puppet army in the Ukraine.
Urkel: It's Lonely Doing All The Work
How childish. This coming from a despot that can't even get a budget passed because he has no idea what he is doing. Hard working Americans don't want more of our tax dollars wasted by this imbecile. barry and his little henchman Harry Reid are the ones that won't work with Rebublicans. They made that evident from day one.
obama is not capable of leading and has no business holding such office. It's way over his head. He just doesn't have the intellect for it.
The President can't gets a budget passed because he's dealing with obstructionists who are far more invested in defeating his goals than in moving the country forward.
In the midst of a major recession Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader in the Senate said that his party's number one priority is making sure Obama is a one term president. Not repairing the economy, not helping families, not dealing with the previous administrations disastrous foreign policy mistakes, but beating Obama. They failed in that goal but the hatred and extremism remain as a huge obstacle in this Congress.
I would match the President's intellect against that of his dim predecessor any day, G.W. Bush LIED to the American people to justify an immoral war that cost over 100,000 lives and billions of dollars. He then tanked our economy and brought on the worst recession since the 1930's and did NOTHING on his watch to combat it.
I would match the President's intellect against that of his dim predecessor any day
How can we do that when nowhere on the Internet can anyone locate Obama's IQ score, nor his college transcripts, nor his college GPA. It seems strange that President Obama was forthcoming in regards to his history of drug use, and yet he is not so willing to reveal his college transcripts nor his college GPA.
What are the requirements for graduating Magna Cum Laude from college? What are the requirements for Law Review in Law School? Criticizing minds need to know.
Interesting article:
Interesting answers.
What are the requirements for graduating Magna Cum Laude from college? What are the requirements for Law Review in Law School? Criticizing minds need to know.
Please provide the link to his grades and transcripts.
After you sir. I know you think the posts that I share are beneath your intelligence level, but when one is honored with Magna cum laude recognition, the GPA is what is honored. (3.5+). It might be interesting to note what a distinguished Harvard professor said about President' Obama's performance at Harvard. (I shared the link - and information on Magna cum laude as well as Summa cum laude. But you can 'google' it.
He became a research assistant to Laurence Tribe, a renowned professor working on an article applying physics to the law. (Title: "The Curvature of Constitutional Space: What Lawyers Can Learn From Modern Physics.") By the end of his first year, Obama had won a position on the Harvard Law Review, widely considered the most influential and prestigious law publication in the nation. In 1990, Obama earned national recognition for the first time when he was elected the Review's first black president. Obama graduated magna cum laude and moved back to Chicago to direct Project Vote, a grassroots voter-registration program. "I thought … his talents are such that there's no ceiling to what he could achieve — and that included becoming president of the United States," Tribe told New York. "He's the only student about whom I've ever had that thought.
Prove it? He did - twice. By being elected twice as President of the US. Of course,there are those who would say - "So was Bush!" There appears to be a group of Americans who are so perplexed as to how this American of color won an election that historically belongs to 'white males', that they have concentrated their efforts on diminishing Obama's achievements instead of using their 'superior' skills in protecting and serving the American people.
Once again Nothing in your reply has anything to do with anything I posted.. He did't prove his intellect by getting elected twice.. That has absolutely nothing to do with what was being asked of you.
than what you are attempting...
No - just sharing an opposite point of view. No one has to agree or disagree.
Inflation of grades: this discussion was held long after Obama had graduated. The staff seemed embarrassed/surprised. For years UCLA graded on the curve because the majority of students accepted were qualified to earn B or A grades. A C grade at UCLA might be a B or A grade at other institutions of higher learning. GPA was/is important in high school. Persons who pursue a higher degree of education are usually interested in increasing their knowledge and skill. If they make all A's, and don't use that earned knowledge - many may consider that failure. Most graduates from Harvard have used their acquired knowledge to benefit mankind. To belittle the Harvard degree because a man of color earned it - stinks, but is not an unanticipated action.
Your using your supposedly valuable time to diminish Barak Obama's achievements is pathetic - but understandable. You will not/ cannot accept anything that I say - fine. I'm just sharing my point of view, based on my experience. Thanks for sharing your point of view based on your experience.
A Harvard College education is undoubtedly one of the best in the world, and at least some of those thousands of A's can be attributed to the fact that the campus is full of high-school valedictorians with perfect 1600 SAT scores who do superior work.
Many of Harvard's graduates were/are legacies. Obama is not. Some fit into the following: Pay the fee - get a B. Or: Build a building, you're assured an A. The Walker / Bush family has contributed much. This should not diminish the honor that has been bestowed on some of the members of that family. The Romney family has contributed - but that should not diminish the honor bestowed on members of that family. Why the effort to diminish the accomplishment of the son of a single mother, who married a citizen of an African country, and this son was raised by proud Americans ( his grandfather a proud veteran)? Some have answered this question based on the history of apartheid in this country. Many around the globe celebrate this president's achievements inspite of the obstruction of some of his fellow citizens. IMHO.
You tend to read a post and interpret it to mean what you want it to mean. Maybe he did graduate Magna cum laude. All I said in my response to danz57 was that we couldn't compare him to Bush as he was not willing to release his transcripts. I can Google and find pages that back up what you say. I can also find pages that challenge what you say. He may have graduated Magna cum laude. But if he did why will he not release his grades? Without them all we have is his word. For some that is enough. I mean we all know that he never lies huh? He is hiding something. The question is what?
If Harvard did not honor Obama at the time of his graduation with Magna cum laude, then you and Sarah Palin have grounds for impeachment. Obama may have falsely represented himself to the Bar Association, etc., etc,, Make your case! Are there others who question a persons GPA when that person has been honored with the designation of a Magna Cum Laude graduate? Those parents of Magna Cum Laude college graduates would be perplexed at why anyone would question their child's achievement.
What were your findings on the requirement for Magna Cum Laude designation from Harvard? Where did you find Bush, Romney's , and Reagan's transcripts?
He may have graduated Magna cum laude. But if he did why will he not release his grades?
The designation Magna Cum Laude tells the world what your GPA had to be!
Please reread my last post and see if you can comprehend what I'm saying.
But if he did why will he not release his grades? Without them all we have is his word.
Anyone who graduates from Harvard with a degree designated as Magna cum laude has achieved at least a 3.5 GPA. Are you saying that a Harvard law degree student does not have the ability of a B+ student? You are entitled to your opinion. Most persons don't need to see the grades received in each course. Let me know when you find the location of other Harvard graduate transcripts. Thanks.
The designation Magna Cum Laude tells the world what your GPA had to be!
The cum laude designation is not based in 'the word' of the graduate, but the GPA earned during matriculation.
Your avatar insinuates that you may be an intellect of color. IMO, this is false advertising. At least change the color of the skin of the avatar. Thanks! I give you the game. - no checkmate here!
obama didn't build that. He didn't' earn those grades. Somebody else before him made it possible. obama only made it through because of affirmative action.
My mother , a proud black women, graduated from UCLA in 1932. There was no affirmative action then. Harvard, Yale, and other outstanding universities did / do not accept 'minority' students who do not have the skill to pass their rigorous academic program.
He didn't build that
Please tell us that you are not a product of Fayette County schools!!!
""If you've got a business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."
You are obviously a product of the government edumication system. It shows, and it's nothing to be proud of.

Mr. Garvin, thank you for your transparent contributions.
bless your heart. Your messiah barry doesn't believe in individual achievement. He believes in the collective because that's what socialist, despot, dictators do. He statement was a poke in the eye to individual achievement because he thinks that everyone should make the same amount of money. He said that to Joe The Plumber and it still holds true today.
Obama's College Classmate: 'The Obama Scandal Is at Columbia'
Obama got a leg up by being admitted to both Occidental and Columbia as a foreign exchange student. He was raised as a young boy in Indonesia. But did his mother ever change him back to a U.S. citizen? When he returned to live with his grandparents in Hawaii or as he neared college-age preparing to apply to schools, did he ever change his citizenship back? I'm betting not.
If you could unseal Obama's Columbia University records I believe you'd find that:
A) He rarely ever attended class.
B) His grades were not those typical of what we understand it takes to get into Harvard Law School.
C) He attended Columbia as a foreign exchange student.
D) He paid little for either undergraduate college or Harvard Law School because of foreign aid and scholarships given to a poor foreign students like this kid Barry Soetoro from Indonesia.
If you think I'm "fishing" then prove me wrong. Open up your records Mr. President. What are you afraid of?
obama is a liar and a fraud
Hawaii is a state of the United States. Obama's mother was in Hawaii the day of his birth. He qualified for membership in the US Senate and President of the United States under the requirements of The Constitution.
Where was your mother the day you were born? No paper or 'lie' can alter the fact that you were with your mother on that day! If you have proof that Obama's mother was not in Hawaii on the president's birthday, please share with Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. I think those who challenge this 'citizenship' issue will need more than the suspicions of a fellow classmate' who asked 400 of his classmates if they had seen 'Barry '. Being educated in another country does not change or alter an American citizens citizenship. Thank you and thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my point of view and information. Bless your heart.
Obama IS an American citizen due to the fact that both of his parents were US citizens at the time of his birth. He was however not born in Hawaii and all three of the "birth certificates" that he has released have been proven by reputable authorities both here and in Great Britain to be frauds. The last one was shown to have nine Photoshop layers. Kenyan birth certificate from the British Colonial Office: http://www.birtherreport.com/2013/12/revealed-pristine-image-of-footprin... As usual DM you would rather lie when the truth would really serve better. Would you like to provide us with his SS number next.
Actually Mike I think Obama's father at the time of his birth was a citizen of Kenya. His mother was a citizen of the US. There is no doubt that he is a citizen. The problem is does he carry the status of natural born citizen required to be President? You see Arnold Schwarzenegger is a citizen. But he isn't a natural born citizen so he can't run for President. And the definition of natural born citizen is vague. By most definitions if he (Obama) was born in the United States to a citizen of the US then he would be. However, if he were born in Kenya he would by Kenyan law receive his citizenship from his father. This would not in and of itself prohibit Obama from being a citizen of the US, but by most definitions you can not carry dual citizenship and hold the natural born status. I.E. A president can not hold or have in the past held dual citizenship. This would also include any citizenship that he may have obtained later in life. So if he ever became a citizen of Indonesia, this too would be a problem. Exceptions were of course made for those Presidents that were here when the Revolution was fought. They were grandfathered in. In my opinion one reason the the SCOTUS refuses to hear birther cases is the fact that the definition of natural born is not clear. This is an area of law that needs to cleared up for future candidates.
The problem is does he carry the status of natural born citizen required to be President?
Some people are already U.S. citizens and don't know it. Most of these people fall into one of three groups:
People born in the United States who have lived most of their lives in other countries. If you fall into this category, you may mistakenly believe that your long absence from the country, plus voting or military activities elsewhere, have stripped you of U.S. citizenship. This is not the case.
People who have U.S. citizens in their direct line of ancestry. If your parents or grandparents were U.S. citizens, you may not realize that U.S. citizenship has been passed down the line, even if you were born elsewhere and your parents or grandparents haven't lived in the United States for a long time.
Check it out.
Check it out.
I did. But I must have missed the paragraph that explains the difference between citizen and natural born citizen as required to be president. Maybe you can point it out for me.
The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. A 2011 Congressional Research Service report stated that
The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth", either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to foreign parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth". Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen.[1]
By the interpretation of the Congressional Research Service, our president meets the citizenship requirement to hold this office. What do you think and why? Thanks.
By the interpretation of the Congressional Research Service, our president meets the citizenship requirement to hold this office. What do you think and why? Thanks.
So by your definition my previous statement that if he were born in Hawaii then he is a natural born citizen is correct. However if he were born in Kenya then Kenyan law would define him as Kenyan based on his fathers citizenship. He could still be an American citizen but would not be eligible to be president. This is why place of birth is so important. Do I think he is a citizen? Yes. Is he natural born? I don't know. You will accept anything he says as truth. Based on his history I don't. The man hides a lot of personal information that most people would not. Another potential glitch would be if he ever held citizenship in Indonesia. The president can not hold dual citizenship.
Now having said that I'll also add that even if he were found not to have been eligible to be president we, the people, will never be told. Who would serve out his term? What about about all the bills he signed into law? The damage that would cause could not be undone.
Thank you for sharing your opinion.
I didn't think that the number was this high........
I'm not saying that Obama is or isn't eligible to be POTUS but imagine this. If he were to be found ineligible who would be President for the remainder of this term? Most would answer well Biden because he's the VP. But under this scenario Biden would have assumed office by running on an illegal ticket. So if that were the case you have 3 options.
1. Bush would reassume office as the last legally elected President.
2. Romney would assume office as the highest vote getter from the last election.
3. Boehner would assume office as the highest ranking official currently in office.
Talk about a headache.
And what about all the bills that he signed into law? I don't think they could tell the people even if he were to be found ineligible.
As with so many of these proofs, they are reported as 'alleged' to protect the 'journalist' from a law suit. It is interesting that creditable witnesses have stated under oath that they visited/attended Obama's mother in the hospital on the day of his birth. . . , in Hawaii ! It has been documented that Obama's father was a citizen of Kenya. Look it up! (That is what makes him a certified African-American.) Enjoy lunch with Donald Trump! The alleged 'paper' games at this point are a waste of everyone's time - stick with discrediting his policies - the citizenship 'thingy ' is dead in the water. Thanks for adding your creditable opinion.
Birthers -attention! His mama and grandparents were American citizens. Read the law!!
Must be from all the cocaine he snorted and pot he smoked in his younger days. His own party won't even pass his budget- obstructionism has nothing to do with it.
Obama is a retard and I'm sure that you match his intellect. Now go wet your bed like a good little lib.
Its not nice to call people names.

"That is why they love butt-munch obama. It's a fact."
make it clear who I'm dealing with here.
Okay Fred, sorry for the harsh response. I didn't realize you were a middle school student. I don't mistreat children.
But Isn't it past your bedtime?
Nighty night…and don't have bad dreams about those scary Walking Muslims coming to get you.
The video you post above was made in Austin, Tx. the day after Barry went to Colorado. Look closely at Barry's eyes as he speaks. His whole demeanor. Holy, moly, is this prezbo buzzed or what?
Here's another look:
According to a Gallup poll released Friday that tracked responses for the first six months of 2014, 72 percent of Muslims said they approve of the president, compared with just 20 percent who disapprove.
Obama approval high with Muslims
Of course they approve of him. Muslims love tyrants and despots like Obama.
Okay, this is straight out bigotry.
The poll was of Americans, not people in the Middle East, and not surprisingly Obama fared well.
Fred, there is a Mosque in Fayetteville and hard working American Muslims right here in this community. Think how they would feel reading that incredibly insensitive comment about an entire religion.
Imagine if someone posted saying, "Of course Christians approve of G.W. Bush. They love war mongering homophobes like him."
I bet you would take offense.
I would urge to try to examine and rid yourself of such attitudes, and if you can't do that, then at least
Please, think before you post in a public forum.
At a meeting to discuss the events of Benghazi and how to hold our government accountable a young muslim woman attempted to divert the subject to Islam. I believe Brigitte Gabriel's response captures the feelings of most non-muslim Americans.
Until moderate muslims are willing to condemn and become active in stopping the radicals they will continue to be, at least in my opinion, irrelevant.
And as the KKK pass out recruitment flyers in parts of our country, I know that the moderate Americans will step up and let the Klan know that in 2014, they are irrelevant. Until ALL Americans stand for what is morally right rather than what is polically correct, we will be ripe for divisiveness . Yea Bridgett! Americans are united against the radical minority, I hope.
And as the KKK pass out recruitment flyers in parts of our country, I know that the moderate Americans will step up and let the Klan know that in 2014, they are irrelevant.
Are you trying to say that there is a silence of white Americans speaking out against the KKK?
I know that the moderate Americans will step up and let the Klan know that in 2014, they are irrelevant.
OK, My bad. I just wasn't sure why you went there comparing the KKK to the radical muslims. But I did watch the news tonight and saw the story on the Klan and recent recruiting efforts. I really thought they had faded away.
In the short clip we don't see the excellent question raised by the young Muslim woman that led to Ms. Gabriel's tirade, but she cautioned against tarring all Muslims with the same brush.
In her ranting response Gabriel states , "Sure only a minority of Germans under Hitler were violent, only a minority of Japanese, only a minority of Russians under Stalin were violent..but the majority weren't running the show.'
She's confusing national governments with religions but it does illustrate a good point. After Pearl Harbor the US government did take the position that anyone of Japanese ethnicity was a potential enemy and a threat and it led to one of the most shameful episodes in US history with the imprisonment of thousands of innocent people.
Although internment seems unlikely at present, the attitudes that she displays can lead to discrimination and hatred against innocent people. That is the real concern here.
For a more in-depth deconstruction of the views of Brigitte Gabriel here is a CNN interview of her by Elliott Spitzer. Its quite illuminating.
My original point was simply focusing on the words of Ms Gabriel in the original video. Not necessarily her views as a whole. Specifically the issue of how silent the "moderate" muslims are. If they don't want to be considered irrelevant they need to be more vocal in condemning the actions of the radicals. The young muslim woman in the video that I referenced took the podium at a panel that was discussing the deaths of 4 Americans and tried to hijack the topic and make it about muslims. We Christians have our radical element also. But when a radical Christian group kills you have no problem finding Christian leaders that condemn their actions. I don't remember suggesting internment of anybody. I was simply stating that if these people (moderate muslims) don't want to be viewed with suspicion they need to do a better job of making their views known. They can't remain silent and by their silence provide cover for the radicals and expect not to be viewed with suspicion.
Why can't average Americans grasp this idea and push back against these savages who are very much a minority in the Muslim community. And to Brigitte's point - why don't the peace loving Muslims condemn these radicals as well.
Of course you could ask the same question of the black leaders in our country about the violence in our cities and probably get the same non answer.
You must read more than The Citizen and listen to other than Fox News. Black leaders, black communities are daily speaking out against the violence in urban areas. Can you hear? The goal of most Americans in 2014 is to become educated or educate their children; have a job that takes them out of the poverty column; live in an area where their family is safe and there are police, fire protection, and available health services. Skin color / religion has very little to do with these desired goals. Any obstruction to educational or economic progress affects all.
The obstacle in urban /poor areas is gang/gun violence - and there have been numerous marches/ vigils for victims led by blacks and browns and suburb dwellers. There is no silence by the parents of dead children!
That is why they love butt-munch obama. It's a fact.
I don't understand the argument that health insurance should not cover birth control for woman's "recreational sex". The contraceptives that Hobby Lobby opposed are prescribed for other reasons then just "emergency birth control". They are also used to deal with endometriosis and other female reproductive problems. But if we oppose coverage for reacreational sex, why does my major health insurance cover Viagra? Our insurance has never covered my daughters hearing aids since she was a toddler, but they will cover a prescription for an aging male who deludes himself that he can perform like in his twenties. Is his sex not recreational? Hopefully these men aren't reproducing at their advanced age.
While your insurance company may cover Viagra it is not required by law. Most insurance companies do not cover it. Hobby Lobby only objected to 4 contraceptives out of 20. The morning after pill and some IUD's. I'm not aware of any benefits, other than birth control, that these contraceptives provide. I am aware that other contraceptives can provide other medical benefits and Hobby Lobby does continue to cover those.
The real war is the ongoing effort to chip away at American's religious freedoms, in this case by allowing a corporation's owners to force their religious beliefs on their employees.
The legal fiction that a corporation is a person with all rights and privileges of that status needs to be changed, and a corporation absolutely should not have the right to discriminate in this manner.
Although the Hobby Lobby decision is supposed to have a narrow application legal scholars have warned that the implications may be farther reaching. I am truly concerned about this.
As I have said elsewhere, Hobby Lobby is now added to Chik-Fil-A as businesses I will no longer patronize.
I just don't believe Hobby Lobby, (the corporation,) has a religious conviction when it comes to birth control, (or anything else for that matter.)
For example, China has about 13 million abortions a year, (if you can believe what you read,) but that doesn't offend Hobby Lobby's religious sensitivities enough to prevent them from filling their shelves with products manufactured in China. Does it?
Religious convictions? Baloney! It's just another Republican attack on ordinary working people using their hand picked appointments at the Supreme Court.
The Republican Party has never done anything for ordinary working people and never will. They will never be satisfied until all working people are reduced to nothing more than a substandard wage-slave.
First off, you blatantly lied by posting that Chik-Fil-A "lost market share" after the gay issue. Now, you're calling a restriction of providing certain types of birth control with Obamacare "discrimination." Get a life and start thinking for yourself or lean on others who may have a better clue.
Here, I'll help you on this:
Oh....wait....the government and Sandra Fluke thinks you should get it for FREE? Wow, what a sad story.
Unlike the pill and some other contraceptives, I don't believe that emergency contraceptives have any uses beyond that of ending/preventing a pregnancy. Sex in and of itself is either for pro-creation or recreation. I don't think any company should have to provide for any medical treatment that is simply there for the pleasure of a person. Yet Hobby Lobby does cover the majority of contraceptives. To me it's like these people are saying, "we want to go to the movies and we want you Hobby Lobby to pay for it." So Hobby Lobby says OK We'll pay for any movie that's not porn. And then being told that is not good enough. You pay and we'll go see whatever we want. If you refuse we'll claim that you're violating our rights. And some will believe it.
Sorry Bonnie but I think you're missing the point. IMHO it comes down to this.
Corporations are artificial entities chartered by the State, people were created by God.
First the Supreme Court says Corporations are people and nobody gets too worried about it.
Now the Supreme Court says Corporations have religion and everyone shouts, "Hooray for our side!"
What's next, is the Supreme Court going to declare Corporations as Gods?
. . . because you most often are not anywhere close to serious. In this case I think there is one thing you might - seriously - be missing.
In the law, a corporation is a legal person. I think that had a lot to do with the Supreme Court decision in the Citizens United vs FEC case wherein the Supremes ruled there can be no limits placed on corporate political contributions. I'm not a lawyer, and do not even play one on TV, but I do know the corporate personhood concept dates back to 1886 in the case of Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Company, in which the U.S. Supreme Court decided that a private corporation is a person and entitled to the legal rights and protections the Constitutions affords to any person.
Having said that, I will take the risk of your ridicule to disclose that my personal point of view of what SHOULD be the law is that politicians should be able to accept contributions ONLY from individuals, not corporations, not PACs, and ONLY up to a modest limit, i.e. $2,000. That would help to fend off corruption and buying elections.
Of course what the Supremes are SUPPOSED to do is interpret the law, not what SHOULD BE the law, and in the Citizens United case maybe they did that, unlike so many cases where the justices each vote their politics. But I could be wrong.
Terry Garlock
politicians but as long as they are the ones making the decision I am afraid there will never be a real change. Just like the amount they can accept as gifts (tickets, dinners, etc) they will bray about it and make it look like they are doing something about it but always manage to leave loop holes you could push an elephant through (no pun intended). Sad, but I think the day of honorable politicians who care about the country and their constituents are a thing of the past. They are all so greedy. They should not be able to accept any gifts or contributions and there should be no PACS. Every politician should be granted the same amount of tv coverage, print coverage, etc., at least then it might make it a more even playing field for everyone. If this was the case the politicians would owe no favors to their rich backers. This will never happen either as long as our elected reps get to make the laws governing these things. Until the general population put their collective foot down and demand change we will have the status quo.
Garlock, I heckle you for the same reasons you don't usually reply to me!
I don't remember what happened in 1886 but in 2014 the Georgia Secretary of State still refers to a corporation as an 'entity.' You can read it for yourself, I'm not making it up.
I can agree with you on the need of campaign reform. Unfortunately, whenever a legislature tries to put something together, for some reason, every loophole that's closed, another is opened. Why don't you consider writing a column in 'The Citizen' about it and let everyone in on the chat?
I have no doubt Supreme Court Justices believe they are interpreting the law. The squabbling starts when they make a split decision that is against your point of view. As a practical matter, taking politics out of the Supreme Court would be like trying to take tomato juice out of V8, when you consider the process of how they become justices. It's politics all the way up the ladder. What you put in one end of the pipe is exactly what you'll get out of the other end, is it not?
That being said, speaking for myself, the current make up on the Supreme Court is no friend of ordinary working people.
Before we stray too far, what did you think about the Hobby Lobby decision?
Having said that, I will take the risk of your ridicule to disclose that my personal point of view of what SHOULD be the law is that politicians should be able to accept contributions ONLY from individuals, not corporations, not PACs, and ONLY up to a modest limit, i.e. $2,000. That would help to fend off corruption and buying elections.
There are areas where people who claim different ideologies can agree on some aspects of implementation of FAIR law.
Implementation of Mr. Garlock's belief would fend off corruption IMHO.

Do you think it is necessary to give a new type of education so that people may understand differentiations? Can objectivity and subjectivity be separated? Do you think it is possible to give such right education?
Yes, it is necessary to have such a civilization which does not teach distinctions from the very childhood and which may lead to the understanding of oneness. The reality is that from the beginning there are no distinctions in the mind of a child. Distinctions are taught by us. It is true to such an extent that a child is not able to distinguish between a dream and reality.
A child weeps in the morning after seeing a dream at night. He is weeping for a toy which he saw in a dream; he is asking for that toy. The child is not able to distinguish between what he sees in a dream and what he sees when he is awake. His seeing is without any distinction. A person addresses his father as "father," but a child who hears this will also address that person as "father." For the child it is difficult to understand that that person was not his father. He does not know whether he is a Hindu or a Mohammedan; he does not know anything. He is still in the world of oneness, but that oneness is full of ignorance.
A saint ultimately enters into the same world of oneness, but then his oneness is full of knowing. Whosoever is ignorant can be divided; we cannot divide the oneness of the saint, because his oneness is born out of his knowing. Children are born out of oneness, but they are taught distinctions; it is necessary to teach them some distinctions; it is useful for living. It is necessary to teach what is poison and what is nectar, it is necessary to know where there is a door and where there is a wall. It is also necessary to teach where is harm and where there is safety these distinctions have to be taught.
But it is necessary to see that behind all this teaching of distinctions there should develop continuously a sense of oneness in his mind meaning he should remain aware of the fact that sometimes poison acts like nectar and sometimes what is taken to be nectar acts like poison. He should be able to understand that there are times when a man recovers when poison is administered and there are times when nectar taken in excess may kill the person. When a child grows up some distinctions will have to be taught, but the child's awareness should also develop to understand that all the distinctions are just functional, that the distinctions are made looking to the limitations of man. Within him a current of oneness should continuously flow. He should be aware of the fact that all things are united from within.

Catcher Josh Phegley has been minor bright spot
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com May 23, 2013 10:03PM
PHOENIX, AZ - FEBRUARY 28: Josh Phegley #75 of the Chicago White Sox at bat against the Los Angeles Dodgers during spring training at Camelback Ranch on February 28, 2011 in Phoenix, Arizona. (Photo by Harry How/Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Josh Phegley
Updated: May 24, 2013 10:43PM
The White Sox' farm system isn't exactly teeming with major-league-ready players or depth in certain areas, but they do have reason to feel good about their catching situation.
Josh Phegley, 25, has turned some heads with a hot start for Class AAA Charlotte and is "probably the most major-league-ready [prospect] in terms of having an impact,'' said assistant general manager Buddy Bell, the Sox' former farm director.
Through Wednesday, Phegley was hitting .333 with 10 home runs, 11 doubles and 28 RBI in 34 games. His OPS is 1.051. As important, the minor-league Gold Glove winner is already more than adequate defensively, Bell said.
"Everybody is talking about Phegley right now,'' Bell said. "Phegley is having a great year defensively and offensively. We're really happy with his progress. He's done a nice job.''
The 5-10, 220-pounder was drafted in the first round (38th overall) by the Sox out of Indiana University in 2009. After being limited to 48 games in 2010 because of a rare autoimmune disorder that lowers platelet count, Phegley is fully healthy.
The Sox put a premium on defense and handling pitchers for their catchers, and that's why Tyler Flowers, 27, isn't at risk of getting laid off from his job despite his .202 average and one home run in the last 35 days. This is Flowers' first go at catching full-time in the majors, and the Sox are prepared to give him a long look.
Phegley's defense, while characterized by Baseball America as "unrefined," is good enough to give the Sox assurances that as a Plan B, he's solid if Flowers doesn't measure up.
"He's really good; he's comparable to Flowers,'' Bell said. "They both throw well and block and have some energy. So we feel pretty good where we are defensively catching-wise.
"His balance is good from a defensive standpoint and offensive standpoint.''
The Sox want Phegley to play every day and develop with the rest of the young catchers in their system, so bringing him up as a backup to Flowers won't happen.
"Our catching is really good,'' Bell said. "With Phegley, [Mike] Blanke [at Class AA Birmingham] and Kevan Smith [Class A Winston-Salem], I think our depth in catching is really an advantage for us. That's always a position to be strong at, and we are. We feel really good about that, especially defensively.''
The same can't be said for the outfield prospects, on whom the Sox have invested deeply with high-round draft packs. First-round pick Jared Mitchell was demoted from Class AAA to AA, while 2011 sandwich pick Keenyn Walker (.200) and 2009 second-rounder Trayce Thompson (.231) are off to slow starts for Birmingham. First- rounder (2012) Courtney Hawkins is 14-for-79 (.177) with a whopping 45 strikeouts for Winston-Salem.
"You can always use more of those guys,'' Bell said, "because all those guys aren't going to be impact guys. Hopefully there's one that performs at the level you're hoping for.''
Bell said right-hander Ramon Troncoso (1.50 ERA) and 31-year-old lefty David Purcey (3.57) are performing well. Both are relievers who could get a call to help a bullpen that has struggled of late.
"Purcey has made some strides,'' Bell said. "He throws strikes and has a good arm. He might be a guy who could help.''

In the Spotlight:
Dr. Jeffrey A. Henderson of the Black Hills Center for American Indian Health
Jeffrey A. Henderson, M.D., M.P.H.
Jeffrey A. Henderson, M.D., M.P.H., CRCHD Research Participant, NCI/NIH Grantee, and founder of the Black Hills Center for American Indian Health in Rapid City, South Dakota, has spent much of his career on a quest to discover the biological, social, and cultural reasons American Indians have higher rates of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease than much of the American population.
Native Americans have less access to cancer care, are not considered citizens of their state, are not eligible for state program and benefits, have lower chances of obtaining higher education, have higher unemployment rates, have higher rates of cancer mortality, and live an average of 63.6 years compared to Whites at 72 years, all of which motivates Henderson to help his people achieve better health care.
For the past five years, Henderson, the son of a Lakota Sioux Indian mother and a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, has conducted research and provided technical and financial management for a CRCHD Community Networks Program study (Regional Native American Community Networks Program) under a U01 grant with CRCHD Grantee Dr. Dedra Buchwald, M.D. The program involved American Indian populations in the Pacific Northwest and the Northern Plains states of Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. In 2010, Henderson, with the collaboration of Lakota traditional faith healers, finished an NIH-funded study to test colorectal cancer screening intervention among older Lakota men and women.
He is currently involved in several NCI studies, some entailing tobacco research and, since 1998, has conducted research for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's renowned "Strong Heart Study," the largest epidemiologic study of cardiovascular disease in American Indians. Henderson has also conducted first-line grant reviews for many different NIH- and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality-funded initiatives.
Henderson started his career as an oceanographer in 1986, after receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of California, San Diego. But, once aboard ship on the high seas, seasickness set in and thoughts of being the next Jacques Cousteau (celebrated French underwater explorer, 19101997) were starting to fade. Moreover, it didn't make sense for him to be a land-based oceanographer.
Had Henderson continued as an oceanographer, he would have never met his future life partner, Dr. Patricia Nez Henderson, at a medical conference. The granddaughter of an Arizona Navajo medicine man, she is also his partner in Native American research, as well as his partner at the Black Hills Center. Nez Henderson broke a barrier by being the first Native American woman to graduate with an M.D. from Yale University School of Medicine. She has also participated in CRCHD Community Networks Program studies examining tobacco reduction among Indian youth.
An uncle, who was a physician assistant, influenced Henderson to go to medical school. In 1989, he graduated from the University of California in San Diego with his M.D. and a decade later graduated with a Master of Public Health degree from the University of Washington in Seattle. He interned at the U.S. Public Health Service Indian Hospitals in Santa Fe and Eagle Butte, South Dakota. From 19941996, he was Acting Instructor/Senior Fellow in Indian Health at the University of Washington School of Medicine, in Seattle. From 19961998, he was Medical Officer and Director of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the U.S. Indian Health Service Hospital in Rapid City, South Dakota.
In 2009, Henderson completed a three-year term serving as Chair of the HHS Secretary's National Advisory Council on Minority Health and Health Disparities. He currently serves on the National Advisory Council for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.
Henderson, currently an Assistant Professor at the Native Elder Research Center, University of Colorado Health Science Center, in Denver, is the author of four book chapters and 30 scientific manuscripts, including: "In Their Own Voices: American Indian Decisions to Participate in Health Research," and "The Handbook of Ethical Research with Ethnocultural Populations and Communities," co-authored with Buchwald.
The Hendersons augment their professional lives spending time with their two children, Zahlanii and Mato, dancing and singing at pow-wows, riding bicycles, skiing, motorcycling, golfing, and hiking through the Black Hills of western South Dakota. An oasis of pine-clad mountains, the area was once home to some of the greatest legends of the American West, including Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, General George Armstrong Custer, Wild Bill Hickok, Calamity Jane, and Jedediah Smith.

Disney CEO Bob Iger said at the annual shareholders meeting in Phoenix on Wednesday that the company is developing "some standalone movies" featuring Star Wars characters.
The news is likely to set off a new round of speculation about what's in store for the Lucasfilm franchise. The buzz has been at fever pitch levels since The Walt Disney Co. said in October it was acquiring the studio for $4 billion.
Iger didn't say which characters might be featured in the standalone films. Some Star Wars characters such as bounty hunter Boba Fett have been given bigger treatments in comic books.

text: The Brooksville/Springhill, Florida needs to contact the Bullhead, Arizona store for advise on how to market and clean up racks and racks of clothes and other items. The Bullhead store has a designated day for seniors with 25% off and on Sundays has a specific color with all items of that color being $1.00. This does wonders for clearing out excessive inventory and really helps those in need...which I thought this was the intention. Also the Florida store charges far more than it needs to. And stop asking for rounding out your change.

A School fee in the UK is only payable at independent and private schools. The average school fee per term for a day school is about £3400. Day pupils at boarding schools would pay an additional £1000 per school fee on average. A Boarding School fee for boarders cost on average £7800 per term. Over recent years, school fee payments have been increasing at around 6% per year. There are large regional variations in each school fee, the South being generally more expensive than the North. School fee payment also rises as the children get older, a senior school fee being appreciably more expensive than a preparatory school fee. Parents normally pay each school fee termly in advance, but discounts may be applicable if the school fee is paid annually. Further reductions for school fee payments are normally offered for siblings. The overall annual cost of educating your child is likely to be higher than the cost of the school fee bills alone. Additional expenses are incurred for school uniform, sports equipment, school lunches, music lessons, extra-curricular activities and additional tuition. Many schools provide assistance towards school fee payments by offering scholarships for children for high achievers in academic studies, music or art. These are normally awarded by exam results or an audition. Scholarships normally don't cover more than 50% of school fee payments. Bursaries are means-tested, may also be available to cover part of the school fee bill for pupils whose parents could not otherwise afford the full cost. They are awarded at the discretion of the school, which may set specific criteria. Financial assistance towards school fee payment may also be available from educational charities. These normally reserve awards for children whose parents can demonstrate a genuine need for an independent education or to enable a child to complete the current stage of education in the event of an unforeseen change in circumstances. Planning your school fee payment is vital. Independent School Fees are likely to be the largest expenditure encountered throughout your lifetime. SFIA are the leading School Fee Specialists in the UK and we aim to make school fee payment less taxing. A key strategy to make school fee payment affordable is to pay them over a longer period, but even for those that can afford school fees, we can offer plans that utilise tax you have already paid (or about to be charged) to fund school fee payments. Contact us, to discuss this further with the option of a free, no obligation, consultation at a place of your choice.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has completed the acquisition of commercial storage services for the 1-million-bbl Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve (NEHHOR).
Two awards totaling 350,000 bbl have been made to companies that had earlier received storage contracts totaling 650,000 bbl. Hess Corporation in Groton, CT has been awarded a second contract for 100,000 bbl, increasing its storage obligation to 500,000 bbl. Global Companies LLC in Revere, MA was awarded a second contract for 250,000 bbl, increasing its obligation to 500,000 bbl.
The contract terms are for one year with three option years. The competitive procurement process was conducted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Energy), acting as the agent for DOE.
The Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve was authorized by Congress in the Energy Policy Act of 2000 as an emergency stockpile of up to 2 million bbl of Government-owned heating oil for the Northeastern States. Through February 2011, the NEHHOR held a total of 2 million bbl in both New England and New York Harbor. At the end of the winter heating season, DOE announced a competitive sale of the NEHHOR stocks for the purpose of replacing them with cleaner burning ULSD prior to the 2011-2012 heating season. The conversion was conducted in order to comply in advance of new mandates being phased in by several Northeastern states for more stringent fuel standards that will require replacement of high sulfur (2000 parts per million) heating oil to ultra-low sulfur distillate (15 parts per million).
Establishment of a 1- million-bbl NEHHOR is consistent with the President's 2012 budget request and will provide supplemental supplies to New England, the area most vulnerable to a supply disruption. DOE does not plan to reestablish a NEHHOR facility in the New York Harbor area because it has abundant commercial stocks and connections to local refineries and a major pipeline for resupply.
DOE will purchase 1 million bbl of ultra-low sulfur distillate fuel for delivery to the storage sites during October and November 2011.

how much time it takes to see sprout above the ground after sowing seeds? thanks,
Follow-Up Postings:
Nor sure about outside if that is where you sowed them. But generally indoors they should sprout anywhere from 4 days to 30 days. Some of the superhots take longer than normal but generally, seeds from nearly all peppers should sprout within a couple weeks. I start mine indoors in the winter with heat mats and they usually come up withing 7 or 8 days. A few take a little longer. If a seed doesn't come up for me in under two weeks, I give up unless I am growing a kind of pepper that I know takes longer. I hope this helps. If you sow them outside, I would expect them to take a bit longer unless conditions are bad. Bruce |
Also depends on the variety. Some mild peppers will pop up in a couple days. Some nuclears like the bhut jolokia can take upwards of 2 months. |
I've had them take from 2-80 days. |

I am a single, 25-year-old woman who is still in graduate school. I can hardly see down the road to my next assignment deadline, or even what I'll make for dinner. Yet the ongoing discourse about women in the workforce has me thinking (and generally pretty terrified) about the future.
In a New York Times article, "Woman in a Man's World," Irene Dorner, the chief executive of HSBC USA, shared her regrets about not pushing to change the status quo for more women than just herself while she climbed the finance ladder on Wall Street.
Like Sheryl Sandberg, whose book Lean In has received flack for telling women to be more aggressive, Dorner says there is a "sticky floor" problem in conjunction with the glass ceiling. She does not necessarily believe that women of Wall Street need to be more like men, but does highlight a difference… Keep reading »

Anyone that has the game in hand, can they take some pictures of the bottom of the bases and post them please? I was thinking of trying to attach magnets to the bottom of the bases so they can adhere to a metal playmat to keep accidental moving/play area bumping from moving them.
The reason for the picture request is that I can't seem to find any info on how the bottoms look, are they flush or are they hollow with only the edges jutting out to raise them off the playing surface, etc.
I'm curious as to what type of modification (if any) I'll have to make in order to make my idea work.

Gee whiz Heather. Your scoliosis requires a resonably firm mattress. That buying mistake you made and have lived with for 10 years has likely helped to further damage your back. Being young a fit is a plus, but you need a proper bed right away. Your mother's bed has a label with words on it, the numbers mean something only to the factory.
