How long have we been talking about so-called "Health Care Reform"? There was the almost three year campaign season which ended when millions of Americans failed to see how much of a fraud Obama was and elected him President. Now we're on year two of endless back and forth on a government takeover of Health Insurance and the Health Care industry (yes, it is a takeover).
The entire time we've been having this debate, there has been a large percentage of liberals / progressives who have flat out said that the reform being proposed wasn't a takeover of Health Care. Sure, they would like for it to be a takeover but they weren't going to get it. "Oh, no!" they said. "We're not going to have a wonderful system like the British NHS here. Relax."
Nevermind, of course, the times when Obama, Rahm Emmanuel, Barney Franks, Jan Schakowsky, Russ Feingold and others said that the plan was to destroy the Health Insurance industry and pave the way for single payer.
Those single payer zealots would simply give up their lifelong goals and settle for a smaller reform package that we'll all love. Promise.
Well, they lied. The Progressives in power lied and their minions lied. Single payer has been the End Game all along and now we have definitive proof.
But, said one attendee, Obama pointed Kucinich toward single-payer language that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was able to get into the bill. Kucinich fought for an amendment that would allow states to adopt single-payer systems without getting sued by insurance companies. Obama told Kucinich that Sanders's measure was similar but doesn't kick in for several years. "He definitely wrote it down," said one member of Kucinich, suggesting that he'd look into it. The meeting was entirely non-confrontational, said members who were present, but Grijalva did raise the issue of the public option. "He just said that the public option, something that he has supported along the way, is not something that we can pass. And he emphasized the fact that the decision now is between doing as much as we can do and doing nothing. That's it. He thought the whole foundation thing -- that this is definitely something we could be proud of, something we could build off [of]," said Schakowsky. Woolsey told Obama that she'd be introducing legislation to create a public option and Obama said he encouraged the effort, according to Schakowsky.

So let's stop pretending that Single-Payer isn't the goal and that this bill isn't designed to set the table for it, shall we?
The video speaks for itself. Paul Ryan exposes the accounting fraud used to make the Senate Bill "deficit neutral".
Do you want to see a perfect illustration of what's wrong with the "Progressive" view of the Constitution? Look no further than the Commerce Clause.
The Commerce Clause is located in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution (the section dealing with the power of Congress):
To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes
Pretty straightforward, right? This clause gives Congress the ability to regulate commerce among the States. That is, between the States. Specifically, it gives Congress the power to make laws that would prevent one State from inhibiting commerce across State lines. For example, Congress could step in and say that Virginia cannot impose a tariff on tobacco imported from Maryland in order to make it more expensive than Virginian tobacco. The Commerce clause was basically a free trade agreement within the US and among the individual States.
Progressives took a hold of this clause (and the Welfare and Supremacy Clauses) and twisted their original meaning so that they could justify all types of power grabs that were never intended, indeed OPPOSED, by the Framers of the Constitution. Today, we have Federal laws regulating INTRAstate commerce because of this hijacking by the Progressives. (I will add that Republicans have abused this clause too, they are not completely innocent on this but Progressives have far and away more counts against them on this point.) There are literally tens of thousands of pages of regulations that rely on this perversion of the Commerce Clause to exist. Congress has expanded the scope of the clause to the point that it is just a given (in the minds of Progressives and some Republicans) that the Federal Government can do whatever it wants.
It has gotten so bad that Congress was poised (and is still considering) to implement a mandate for individuals to buy Health Care Insurance. The Commerce Clause, which was intended to regulate States, not individuals, has been perverted by some to mean that the Federal Government can mandate someone buy a product or service that they may not even want to buy? For what? To force people to pay into a government managed Health Care industry? That's not what Congress was empowered to do. In fact, James Madison specifically warned against such a power grab and he is credited with being the principle author of the Constitution.
What Congress IS specifically empowered to do is regulate commerce among the individual States. Guess what? That means that they can pass laws that would nullify the States laws preventing Insurance Companies from selling policies across State lines. In fact, that is EXACTLY the kind of scenario the Commerce Clause was written for. Coincidentally, Progressives don't want it. They're arguing against it.
They just don't get it.
The pundits / talking heads / alleged political "experts" will have countless reasons and excuses on why Scott Brown won last night. But the fact of the matter is that the reason is very simple, and his campaign was very simple:
The American people are inately opposed to the Federal Government going beyond their Constitutional bounds.
Massachussetts is arguably the most liberal state in the Union. They're definitely not opposed to social programs, entitlements, etc. But they understand that States have the power to do these things where the Federal Government does not. Sure, they tolerated it for a long time because the Federal Government essentially left them alone to try their social experiments until now.
Scott Brown was a proponent of RomneyCare and I'm sure many other MA social programs. But his message was clear: the FEDERAL government is out of control. The Federal Government has grown too large in size and scope. The Federal Government is not supposed to be doing what it is doing and the taxes being collected to pay for these things were sucking the life out of the country.
Last night was a victory for the Constitution and Federalism. The very liberal State of Massachussetts said "We don't want Washington telling us how to run our Health Care system." Period.
The Progressives / Statists will downplay it and pretend it wasn't a referendum on their agenda. The media will parrot the narrative. Weak-kneed Republicans will fail to pick up the ball being handed to them. But that's what Scott Brown's election was about: Saying NO to what the Federal government is trying to do to this nation.
What if it were Hitler instead of Chairman Mao on a White House Christmas tree ornament?
There would be outrage from all sides of the political spectrum. People would be demanding how these ornaments made it through whatever screening process goes on in the Obama White House for these things. At the very least the worker hanging the ornament would have raised a red flag and pointed it out to his or her higher ups.
Mao Tse-Tong was responsible for a genocide that killed more people than Hitler ever dreamed of killing. But for some reason, Mao is revered by today's Left. He's some kind of hero to these Progressives / Socialists / Statists.
And now, the White House is pretending they didn't know anything about it. If you believe that line of BS, you are the epitome of the useful idiot Mao and other Communists (like Saul Alinsky, for example) relied on to blindly follow them.
How on earth did we get to a point where a mass murdering Communist is considered a hero by a large portion of this country?
Dr. Jeffrey S. Flier, Dean of the Harvard Medical School, gives ObamaCare a big fat F for not doing anything the Progressives / Statists (i.e. Obama and Co.) claim it will do.
I encourage you to read the whole article here. But here's one part that hits the nail on the head:
Worse, currently proposed federal legislation would undermine any potential for real innovation in insurance and the provision of care. It would do so by overregulating the health-care system in the service of special interests such as insurance companies, hospitals, professional organizations and pharmaceutical companies, rather than the patients who should be our primary concern. In effect, while the legislation would enhance access to insurance, the trade-off would be an accelerated crisis of health-care costs and perpetuation of the current dysfunctional system—now with many more participants. This will make an eventual solution even more difficult. Ultimately, our capacity to innovate and develop new therapies would suffer most of all.

The bottom line is that getting the government more involved in the Health Care industry is going to do what government involvement always does: Lower quality and increase costs.
Of course, Progressives don't care about that. All they care about is government control. Health Care is the lynchpin for Statist control of the populace. There are some liberals who simply don't realize this. When they do finally realize it, they usually become conservatives / libertarians.
A recent Gallup Poll showed that more people than ever before (since Gallup started tracking the question) are of the mindset that the Government doesn't belong in Health Care, so there's hope. Let's hope that this enlightenment hasn't come too late to reverse all the damage that Progressives / Statists and the Progressive-lite Republicans have done over the last 100 years.
Today marks the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. World leaders are gathering in Germany to celebrate the day when Communism was defeated.
The current President of the United States won't be there. He's too busy.
He wasn't too busy to fly to Copenhagen to make a self-centered appeal to the International Olympic Committee to bring the Games to Obama's hometown, Chicago, though. That little jaunt was easily squeezed in between all the "hard work" Obama was doing ignoring the urgent requests for troops to execute the strategy his hand-picked General had requested back in the summer. His supporters claimed that he could work during the flight and he wasn't really taking any time off. This is true. So why is he suddenly too busy to go and mark a very important date in world history?
The answer is simple: Copenhagen and the Olympics would have been a PERSONAL victory for Obama if he were able to secure the games. There is nothing more important than building our Narcissist in Chief's legacy. Going to Berlin would do nothing for him on that level. In fact, he would be celebrating the fall of an ideology that he was raised admiring (see Frank Marshall Davis). It may very well be that Obama wouldn't be able to hide his grief over the day Communism failed and Freedom won yet another war.
If the event isn't about him, Obama has no time for it. And I haven't even mentioned how the fall of the Berlin Wall is a triumph of American Foreign Policy and why that factors into Obama's decision not to attend, too.
Watching the circus that was the announcement of the "historic" Pelosi Health Care Reform Bill yesterday, I kept thinking about one thing:
All those people standing up there trumpeting the latest power grab by the Federal Government and not one of them could point to where Congress gets the authority to even write the bill, let alone pass it.
That's right, not ONE person there could do that because the plain and simple truth is that the authority doesn't exist in the Constitution. I've looked. It's not in there. Furthermore, I've read specific quotations from the Constitution's primary author, James Madison, and from his good friend, Thomas Jefferson, and you'd be hard-pressed to find where either of them even remotely hinted at the Federal Government having this kind of power over individuals. You'd find quote after quote, essay after essay arguing how the Federal Government couldn't do something like take over the Health Care system, but nothing supporting the idea. Not a word.
It is at this point in a conversation with a Progressive / Statist that we'd get into all the Judicial precedent, etc. where SCOTUS or lower courts ruled that the Federal Government was within its bounds under the Welfare or Commerce clauses to do this or that. But you know what? That's their trick. They think you're too dumb to know that those rulings were made by stacked or intimidated courts. They fall back on the "well, we're already doing it" defense as if that makes it right. It doesn't. Our founding document has been hijacked.
The debate we should be having is simple: Is Congress even authorized to do this? And we, as conservatives, need to make the case over and over that they do not have this authority and pull the debate back to where it belongs. This is about the expansion of government. It is not about providing Health Care for all (since this bill STILL doesn't cover everyone).
For a few weeks now, Democrats have been fighting attempts to post the "Baucus Bill" online so that we, The People, can see what they have in store for us. It's been called a "Vapor Bill" since it contains nearly no legislative language and, in essence, is a conceptual document. In other words, the Senate is actually debating and voting on a bill that will be finalized at some point under the cover of darkness, if they get their way.
That alone should raise gigantic red flags for every freedom-loving American. But wait, there's more! They've even convinced the CBO to "score" this conceptual document and wouldn't you know, it is going to allegedly trim $81 Billion from the budget over 10 years. I'd laugh if I didn't know that the completely-in-the-tank-for-Democrats-media will run with this one juicy detail at full speed to rally public support for the plan.
As always, The Heritage Foundation is out front calling out this nonsense for what it is:
Indeed, the CBO went to great pains to emphasize this fact in their letter to Congress: "CBO and JCT's analysis is preliminary in large part because the Chairman's mark, as amended, has not yet been embodied in legislative language." But this isn't even the most deceptive part of what the left in Congress is trying to pull on the American people. Not only does the Baucus bill not even really exist, just a Vapor Bill filled with conceptual language, it is about to be completely thrown out the window when Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) merges it with the deficit busting HELP bill to move it to the Senate floor.
You'd almost think that Congress hasn't yet gotten the message that people are on to them. Have they not seen the constant stream of polls showing that people, across the entire political spectrum, don't trust them and overwhelmingly disapprove of their performance?
When you see this latest example of the utter contempt Congress has for us, and you recall how Pelosi once claimed this would be the most transparent / corruption-free Congress ever, there's only one conclusion anyone with half a brain could come up with:
They think we're stupid.
UPDATE: Reid didn't waste any time, did he?
Nevada Democratic Sen. Harry Reid said the Finance Committee will vote at that time on a 10-year, $829 billion proposal that covers 94 percent of eligible Americans while reducing the deficit. The positive estimate by the Congressional Budget Office was a breakthtrough for Montana Sen. Max Baucus, the plan's author.
Reading the blogs and op-eds out on the net it is clear that we are reaching a point where the Conservative message is at a crossroads. A lot of the talk has been about a leadership vacuum. In my opinion, the Right is currently undergoing a massive manhunt to find the one person (or perhaps a handfull of people) who can clearly articulate that Conservative message.
This begs an obvious question: What is the Conservative Message?
People are throwing around the usual catch-phrases: "Limited Government" or "States Rights" or "Fiscal Responsibility". All well and good, but the problem is that there doesn't seem to be anyone out there who can articulate this message AND survive the attacks on their record which the Progressive / Statist left will undoubtedly unleash in order to discredit them.
Another problem is that way too many of the "conservative" pundits out there are really just watered-down Progressives. Neo-Statists or Progressive-lite commentators who have accepted that government intervention (vs regulation) is the solution to the majority of the problems we face. I don't think there are many true Conservatives who would argue for outright anarchy. Of course there's a need for government. The question is how much do we need? Are the solutions to be found utilizing the power of the Federal Government, the State Governments, or the Private sector (The People). Better yet... What is the right mix? The Federalist system our founders handed to us seems to be disappearing before our eyes. It has taken nearly a century to get to this point, but it is disappearling. Progressives have successfully framed the debate. We, as a country, don't even blink when presented with a problem. We immediately run to the Federal Government. This wasn't how it was originally intended to work, but that's an argument for a different time.
Back to the question of message. We on the Right need to rally around a single message. The idea of Limited Government is my personal favorite because it really encompasses what Conservatism is all about. But we must also remember that "Limited Government" doesn't mean "No Government". It means going back and checking the playbook (The Constitution) to see which entity should be the force behind implementing a solution.
Where are the leaders who have consistently approached a problem from this perspective? Who are they? Who looks at a problem and doesn't immediately think, "Let's create a Federal Program around it"? Where is the politician who can consistently make the case that nearly every problem we face today is a direct result of Progressive policies that have slowly erroded our Federalist foundation?
Or is there a larger question? Are we on the Right sure if we really believe that anymore?
I know my answer. What's yours?

Report: Thieves swipe $140K BMW 7 Series in Detroit during auto show
2010 BMW 760Li – Click above for high-res image gallery
The 2011 Detroit Auto Show is proving to be more eventful for BMW than the automaker had originally intended. As workers were preparing to load a BMW 7 Series onto a transport truck near Detroit's Westin Book Cadillac hotel, a pair of thieves jumped in and drove off with the German luxury sedan. The car is said to be worth US$140,000, and as of this writing, local police have had no luck tracking down the stolen vehicle. Thankfully, this 7 Series is equipped with BMW Assist, which locates a vehicle if it's stolen, so it's only a matter of time before cops close in on the BMW bandits.
If some brand new 7 Series parts wind up on Craigslist's Detroit-area 'for sale' section, we're willing to bet the sale price is too-good-to-be-true for a reason.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Blessed is the one whose lawless acts are forgiven. His sins have been taken away. | 1 Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. |
2 Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD never counts against him. He doesn't want to cheat anyone. | 2 Blessed is the man whose sin the LORD does not count against him and in whose spirit is no deceit. |
3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body became weak because I groaned all day long. | 3 When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. |
4 Day and night your heavy hand punished me. I became weaker and weaker as I do in the heat of summer. "Selah" | 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer. "Selah" |
5 Then I admitted my sin to you. I didn't cover up the wrong I had done. I said, "I will admit my lawless acts to the Lord." And you forgave the guilt of my sin. "Selah" | 5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the LORD"-- and you forgave the guilt of my sin. "Selah" |
6 Let everyone who is godly pray to you while they can still look to you. When troubles come like a flood, they certainly won't reach those who are godly. | 6 Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you while you may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach him. |
7 You are my hiding place. You will keep me safe from trouble. You will surround me with songs sung by those who praise you because you save your people. "Selah" | 7 You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. "Selah" |
8 I will guide you and teach you the way you should go. I will give you good advice and watch over you. | 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you. |
9 Don't be like the horse or the mule. They can't understand anything. They have to be controlled by bits and bridles. If they aren't, they won't come to you. | 9 Do not be like the horse or the mule, which have no understanding but must be controlled by bit and bridle or they will not come to you. |
10 Sinful people have all kinds of trouble. But the LORD's faithful love is all around those who trust in him. | 10 Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him. |
11 Be glad because of what the LORD has done for you. Be joyful, you who do what is right! Sing, all of you whose hearts are honest! | 11 Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous; sing, all you who are upright in heart! |

Hold up. You thought Lady Gaga was some original creation plucked from the bowels of New York City's Lower East Side? We're willing to bet that she got more than a little inspiration from the wild and wonderful world of the Eurovision song contest. What's the Eurovision song contest, you ask? It's just the strangest, campiest Euro tradition ever. Begun in 1956, the Eurovision competition pits nation against nation in a battle of vocal chords and froofy costumes. Past winners include Finnish troll rock band Lordi, French-Canadian dream princess (singing for Switzerland) Celine Dion, and ABBA. Of course. After the jump, check out some of this year's Eurovision competitors--and their ridonkulous outfits.

Here's my gripe...Nissan cheaped out on the driving lights; they are not Xenon like the headlights (cheezy move to save a few bucks if you ask me). Anyway, is there a way to replace the standard bulbs with the Xenon?? I believe Nissan/Infinity uses the same size Xenons (driving) in other car models. Thanks.

sschumer Posts: 19Just spent last few weeks researching aftermarket GPS for my new 2005 Nissan Maxima SL. The two GPS leaders for cars appeared to be the Magellan Roadmate 700 and Garmin 2620. About same price ($800 or so), with Roadmate being a bit easier to use, Garmin a bit more function. Was about to purchase the Roadmate when I sort of stumbled over a hidden gem, the Lowrance iWay 500C. After further research, this was by far the best one and purchased it a couple of weeks ago. Has been all I hoped for and more. And it cost me only $650 at Comp-U-Plus.com.
GPS Explorer website does a great "GPS for Car Comparison" chart, rates the iWay 500C the very best. Check it out under "Which one should you get?": http://www.gpsexplorer.com/GPS-for-Cars-CS131.aspx
The review they wrote was also glowing: http://www.gpsexplorer.com/Lowrance-iWay-500C-GPS-MP3-Combo-W5.aspx

texasred1 Posts: 20This is my first time to post a message....hope I do it correctly.
We are thinking about buying a 2005 Maxima SL. What is slowing us down is the Highway MPG. We LOVE the car, but have been leaning toward buying a car that get over 30 MPG on the HWY. The sticker says 28. My question to existing owners of this car is:
What MPG do you get HWY and CITY, using 87 octane fuel? I realize that alot depends on how fast you drive and if you are heavy footed, which makes the car drink more gas. Could you PLEASE include how fast you were driving to get your MPG. THANKS for any help that you can give us! -

luvmymaxie Posts: 16What aftermarket parts out there that I can add to my 04 Maxima SE to give it even more power....my son keeps saying daddy's car is faster, 87 Mustang GT...I have heard underdrive pulley's, a chip and a better air intake system? Is that a start? Thanks. By the way I only have around 14,000 miles on it and I purchased it when it came out. Next spring the warranty will be out.
99maximase Posts: 1I had a similiar problem with my 99 maxima se. Inside the brake calipers there are a few little clips that put pressure on the brake pads. What happened is that they wore away and now the pads are ratling in the caliper. I went to AutoZone and got the coreect clip kit (ONLY 5.00) and that took care of problem.
Hope that helped. -
maxim04 Posts: 1My 04 Max has a cracked windshield that will have to be replaced. I checked with the local dealer who quoted $ 500 for orig. windshield and labor.
I also came across a company called PPG glass that makes OEM(for GM,BMW, Honda, Toyota ) as well as replacement glass for Nissan(they say it meets the specs). One can get it installed at their authorised places for $250.
Has anyone got a PPG glass or other replacement on their Maxima?
PPG seems to be a reputable company but i dont know if i should use it or go to the nissan dealer. Here are the links to PPG.
Any advice/suggestion is welcome. -
poodog13 Posts: 320Has anyone got a PPG glass or other replacement on their Maxima?
I haven't had a PPG replacement on a Maxima, but know the company quite well and know several people who work for their auto glass division (I live in Pittsburgh where the company is headquartered). I would have absolutely no worries about the glass itself, just make sure the installer is reputable and stands behind their work because if you do have problems, it will be more due to install problems than glass fitment. -
gregorym Posts: 3I am looking to get performance rotors for my 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. I looked around and found SR Performance Rotors at ebay. They are coming from canada and are cross drilled. Has anyone heard of these rotors or have suggestions as to the ones that work best. I was going to replace all four at once. The cost of the rotors will be around $230 with shipping.
o2bavw Posts: 1I need a little bit of help, I just bought a 2002 maxima 6-speed se, and the car is in great shape but the leather on the shift knob is kinda worn out, so i went out and bought an aftermarket shift knob, and it wont work because of the piece you have to pull up on to get it into reverse that goes into the bottom of the factory one. i cant be the first person that has run into this problem, so if anyone has an answer for me i would greatly appreciate it.

Your answer lies there. 100% guaranteed, or your 2c back. :P

gregorym Posts: 3Anyone recommend a high performance brand for a 2000 Nissan Maxima SE. I am purchasing Hawk break pads front and rear and looking into high performance rotors. Does anyone have them on their Maxima and recommend a brand? If so, where did you buy them and around how much were they? I am going to replace front and rear at the same time. Thanks.
poodog13 Posts: 320When you enter a destination, it will calculate the fastest route, shortest route, and minimize highway route (often all the same depending on where you live. In Pittsburgh where there's no direct route to get anywhere, they are often different). It will automatically default to whatever option you have programmed in your settings, but before you accept you have the opportunity to select one of the other routes.
alexstore Posts: 264I am looking to replace as soon as tail lights burn out with led lights, i searched ebay and maxima.org, but cannot find any. I will not replace a whole assembly just bulbs.
also what should I replace to shorten brake distance and improve g force? Tires? Tires+ rotors and ceramic pads? -

1 #3when I would heal Israel, the corruption of Ephraim is revealed, and the wicked deeds of Samaria; for they deal falsely, the thief breaks in, and the bandits raid outside. | 1 whenever I would heal Israel, the sins of Ephraim are exposed and the crimes of Samaria revealed. They practice deceit, thieves break into houses, bandits rob in the streets; |
2 But they do not consider that I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds surround them, they are before my face. | 2 but they do not realize that I remember all their evil deeds. Their sins engulf them; they are always before me. |
3 By their wickedness they make the king glad, and the officials by their treachery. | 3 "They delight the king with their wickedness, the princes with their lies. |
4 They are all adulterers; they are like a heated oven, whose baker does not need to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened. | 4 They are all adulterers, burning like an oven whose fire the baker need not stir from the kneading of the dough till it rises. |
5 On the day of our king the officials became sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with mockers. | 5 On the day of the festival of our king the princes become inflamed with wine, and he joins hands with the mockers. |
6 For they are kindled like an oven, their heart burns within them; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire. | 6 Their hearts are like an oven; they approach him with intrigue. Their passion smolders all night; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire. |
7 All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me. | 7 All of them are hot as an oven; they devour their rulers. All their kings fall, and none of them calls on me. |
8 Ephraim mixes himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. | 8 "Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is a flat cake not turned over. |

11 Ephraim has become like a dove, silly and without sense; they call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria. | 11 "Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless-- now calling to Egypt, now turning to Assyria. |
12 As they go, I will cast my net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air; I will discipline them according to the report made to their assembly. | 12 When they go, I will throw my net over them; I will pull them down like birds of the air. When I hear them flocking together, I will catch them. |
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against me. | 13 Woe to them, because they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, because they have rebelled against me! I long to redeem them but they speak lies against me. |
14 They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; they gash themselves for grain and wine; they rebel against me. | 14 They do not cry out to me from their hearts but wail upon their beds. They gather together for grain and new wine but turn away from me. |
15 It was I who trained and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me. | 15 I trained them and strengthened them, but they plot evil against me. |

I saw the last half hour or so, very weird, Peter Sellers popped up at the end as "Me". Both my hubby and one of his sisters are fascinated with A Christmas Carol. They say the best version is !951 with Alastair Sim. |
Rod Serling's show was always to creepy and scary for me. I'm sure I wouldn't have watched this one! lol |
We caught it this past Sunday. It started out with a lot of promise, but quickly turned into an ad for the UN. We all agreed we were glad to have seen it, that it was an important show to watch, but it was definitely disappointing in both the creepy and plot depts. I'd heard it was a really good, creative version. Well it was different, and filmed very well. One you really have to watch yourself to evaluate. |

I agree, very very different than what I expected. Kind of interesting to see the mind set at the time. What was Scrooge's character's name in this adaptation? Grudge? Grunge? I could never quite catch it. I thought he was very stiff, would have like to have seen another actor in his place. Yeah, Peter Sellers! That was weird. And I saw the actress who played opposite Cary Grant in North By Northwest as the WAC? she was in uniform but I never quite understood whom she was suppose to represent. |

Step away from the usual boring chocolates and surprise your loved one with some Cake Pops or Chocolate Covered Oreos for Valentine's Day this year.
All will be decorated in Valentine's Day colors of red and white, but I can substitute pink or your sweetie's other favorite colors.
**Updated to say I will also be attending The Depressed Cake Shop in Seattle!! Info has been added below**
It's been almost three years since I started this cake pop adventure and while there has been sme serious trial and error, overall it has been a very positive experience. Seeing the finished product displayed, a child clutching their prized cake pop and the gratitude from customers makes me smile and want to continue what I do.
Mental illness affect one in four Americans every year. I am one of those, as well as a few of my dear friends. If not experiencing it directly, many have family, friends and coworkers who fight the daily battle of living with mental illness. The stigma is there, a disease that is rarely talked about and commonly misunderstood. To those of us affected, we do what we can to get through each day, and for many, baking helps.
Banana bread used to be my "thing", the one baked good I thoroughly enjoyed creating in the kitchen. Now, it's the making of cake pops, a process that is so very therapeutic even during the busiest times. Something about the repetitive motions, kneading the frosting into cake dough and rolling endless amounts of cake balls helps soothe my mind. Baking has given me something to focus on, to put my energies toward when the rest of my life seems a bit crazy and out of control. It is calming and a huge positive addition, in more ways than just calories.
The idea of baking therapy has been turned into an awesome opportunity to raise money and awareness about mental illness. Conceived of by Emma Cakehead (Miss Cakehead) in the UK, the Depressed Cake Shop Pop-ups have popped up all over the world and there are even more to come.
I am excited to be participating in the Los Angeles location in August 23rd and 24th and providing some delicious treats. Discussion of mental illness is an important matter to me and I was already planning on doing my own fundraiser later this year. What a perfect chance for me to get involved: I get to spend hours in the kitchen meditating with chocolate and have the end results support NAMI Westside Los Angeles.
For those in the LA area who haven't had a chance to enjoy my products, this will be a prime opportunity to sample some Chocolate Dipped Oreos, Cloud shaped Cake Pops, and Monster cake pops all decked out in gray. There will also be other gray baked goods from area bakers, complimentary beer and wine opening night, themed artwork and photography from renowned artists and baking classes on Saturday.
August 23, 2013(7-11pm) and August 24 (9am-6pm)

I am pretty sure the reason I enjoy making cake pops so much is because while I am in my 30s, I am still a child at heart. My downtime (with or without my daughter) can be spent with Legos, Play-doh, animated movies, and cartoons. Making cake pops can be frusrating at times but it's more of a playtime for me, a "what can do with this?"
When given the opportunity to make Mr. Potato Head Cake Pops a couple months ago, I was thrilled! My daughter used to have a giant Potato Head collection (Boba Fett was our favorite), and we used to play often, working with all the pieces to make goofy faces. Adding each piece, the peanut butter nose, the Junior Mints hat (yum), and even the eyes, all brought back the fun of playing with the toy. Never mind that he's a smartie pants in the movie with some great one-liners. My favorite part of these guys? The mustaches I piped on as a finishing touch.
Recently one of my regular customers requested a character from Toy Story for her son's birthday, and while I suggest Mr. Potato Head or Aliens, I was thrilled she picked the Aliens. I don't mind repeating designs, but I was excited to try a new one.
I don't make anything fondant because many people have said they don't like it (and I don't, either), so I piece together facial features and decorations with various candies. These little aliens were made from rope candy, Airheads, and icing eyeballs. I was even more thrilled my edible markers cooperated for these ultra adorable smiles. Yes, I am in love with my Toy Story Aliens, my favorite, favoritest cake pop ever.

Send cake pops for the holidays,
If you need to customize your colors and notes, just send an email once you've submitted an order. Please allow 72 hours minimum from order date and delivery date. Shipped orders add another 2-3 days for Priority Mail shipping.
I love Legos! Yes, I'm thirty-five and still play with Legos. I even returned from our family trip to Seattle with my nephew's large container of Legos (with the promise of returning them once he has his own spawn). Building with Legos has to be one of the most therapeutic things for me. One of the few moments where my mind slows down and I can just be.
Legos are such an amazing tool for letting the imagination fly and there was no better way to dive back into orders after vacation than with Ninjago cake pops! The ninjas weren't too difficult but when it came to Sensei, things were a little tricky. First, I dipped each cake pop in yellow, the ever recognizable Lego Minifig color. For the ninjas, I then dipped the back of the pop in the color and topped them off by dripping the colored chocolate on the forehead, sides and bottom. Tap, tap, tapping away, everything smoothed out.
Next, Sensei's beard, mustache and eyebrows. Hmm. I have wanted to try out modeling chocolate for extra details on my cake pops and really, I did try. Unfortunately, I just couldn't seem to master the recipe and either ended up with it way too oily, or solid as a rock. My savior? Airheads. Yup, my second favorite candy (after gummy worms). After warming the white Airheads for a few seconds in the microwave I rolled them out, cut out the pieces I needed and attached to our dear minifig heads.
This wasn't quite like playing with Legos, but piecing everything together was just as much fun. I sure hope this becomes a popular order because I had a blast!
The last week in Southern California has been a hot and humid one. I don't mind it so much but when it comes to making cake pops, the humidity and heat does not go well with chocolate. Chocolate doesn't like to set much when it's warm, so by the time I was done with a crazy busy week full of a ton of custom cake pop orders (my favorite being the Cookies in Cream Dirt w/ gummy worms) a break was much needed. After making the last of deliveries this morning, my daughter and I took a moment to be a bit goofy and have a little fun with cake pops.
I put together a couple Domo cake pops sans arms because really, who can resist the Japanese mascot Domo? We headed outside to enjoy the perfect blue sky (and first day of non scorcher heat). With the sun shining down on us we danced around, singing, snapped pictures and pretended to eat Domo. It only took a couple minutes for our friend to feel the side affects of the heat, and as the chocolate began to melt, we ran inside giggling and screaming "I'm melting, I'm melting, Domo melting!"
My daughter and I were walking around Disneyland when I received a message on my phone asking "Can you do Lalaloopsy cake pops?" I'd seen many character cake pops but I was baffled – I had never heard of Lalaloopsy before. After a moment my daughter asked what it was about and when I told her she went "ooh, I know those!" Turns out her half-sister has the dolls, so she knew aaall about them.
I almost responded to the request that no, I could not do Lalaloopsy dolls as they look extremely complicated, with a ton of detail. Then I realized I did Hello Kitty, I do monsters and mummies, I could do dolls. So, with a bit of hesitation, I finally agreed and thus began my journey into the Lalaloopsy world.
Months later, I've made a multitude of Lalaloopsy cake pops, some with cheer bows (made out of Starburst candies) and even some boy ones. Getting the hair "just so" has been a learning experience and patience, but I've found I like the additional detailed hair. And who can resist the rosy cheeks?
Irish Coffee cake pops where a big hit and this year they were already proving to be as well. So when it came to doing something special for the holiday, instead of o working on the typical green theme I decided to play around with the whole leprechaun's gold concept. What happened is my Pot o' Gold cake pops, surprisingly easy to make, but ultra adorable. A perfect compliment to the Irish Coffee cake pops heading out the door.
The trick to get the black pot edge is to dip, then place on the parchment paper as if doing a flat-top pop
. Once dry, add some more black chocolate to cover the top and sprinkle a ton of of gold sprinkles. Ta da! A pot o' gold filled with nommy cake pop goodness. Now that is gold to me!
After all the crazy creatures I created for the Halloween season I was still in monster mode and took to making my own Flying Spaghetti Monster, as should any Pastafarian.
I dipped two chocolate cake pops in a milk chocolate and white chocolate combination and let them harden while touching. This process made me cringe as many cake pop creators know, we do everything we can to keep cake pops from touching. Once dry, it was just a matter of wrapping candy laces around and around and attaching the googly eyes with melted chocolate.
And now, I've been touched by His Noodly Appendage…cake pop style!
A great friend of mine is not only a Spinning instructor, designer, writer and chocolate lover but a true adorer of Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas. The week before Halloween I felt it only appropriate that I surprised her with a chocolate cake pop decorated as Jack.
I've always been a "tomboy", never hesitating to play in the dirt, though I've not always been a fan of the bugs (there was a period when I collected caterpillars in jars, but that was short lived). The other day I was munching on one of my favorite snacks, gummy worms, and knew there had to be a way of combining them with my cake pops. It took a few tries, but here's my dirt and worm cake pop. Keeping the Oreo crumbs as small as possible was the key to keeping them on the chocolate.
Cake pops shown here: Chocolate with black chocolate coating, covered in crumbled Oreo cookies and one perfectly placed gummy worm.

A Turkey Creek man pleaded guilty to taking deer illegally in an Evangeline Parish courthouse.
25-year-old Corey S. Gautreaux will have to pay a $1,000 fine and $122.50 in court costs. Gautreaux's hunting privileges are also revoked for two years; his 30-day jail sentence will be suspended.
On October 23rd, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents cited Gautreaux for taking deer illegally by snare in Evangeline Parish.
Agents received a complaint that Gautreaux had put several snares out on private land near the St. Landry community off of Frontier Road in order to trap deer.
After locating the snares, agents found a camera and a deer stand set up near the snares. They reviewed the pictures and found photos of Gautreaux checking the snares. They say that same afternoon they located him in the stand with a bow and arrow.

ISKCON, Sri Sri Rädha Veni Mädhava mandir is situated on the bank of holy Yamuna river. This mandir was started in the year 1995 and slowly the ashram is being developed into a full-fledged ISKCON temple. The beautiful deity of the divine couple Sri Sri Radha-Venimädhava Ji was installed in the year 2003. We have a small Guest House, a go-shala and a small patch of land to cultivate.
The significance of Prayäga:
Triveni Sangam: Confluence of the three holy rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswaté, where Magha mela takes place annually and Kumbha melas as well. Dasasvamedha Ghät: Lord Brahma performed the first ten horse sacrifices in Satya Yuga. About 500 years ago Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu gave diksa & sikñsa to Srilä Rüpa Goswami here at this ghat. Supreme Lord Rämacandra stayed here for a short while at Akshaya bata and Bharadwaj Ashrama. Veni Mädhava: The presiding deities of Prayäg ksetra are Sri Sri Veni Mädhava, here Lord Caitanya Mahäprabhu rested for about a period of 15 days. Prayäga has a great legacy of being the place of Çrila Prabhupada's former residence and pharmacy. Prayäga is also the diksä bhümi of Srila Prabhupäda. He resided here for 13 years and envisioned the propagation of suddha-bhakti throughout the world. Vrindavana is overnight journey by train, Ayodhya the birth place of Lord Ramachandra is about 150 kms, Chitrakut, where Lord Ramachandra stayed during his exile period is about 140 kms and Vanaras is 125kms from here.

I just purchased 4 Limelight Hydrangeas for the first time from The Plant Depot in San Juan Capistrano, California. The tag on it says "Patrial Shade to Full Sun"... Having never grown them before, I am a little bit confused, so I am hoping there are those of you out there who are Limelight Hydrangea Growing experts who will be able to help me. My plan is to plant these 4 Limelights in an ALL day OPEN shade area in my backyard, and I'm fairly confident they will do well in the open shade. BUT there's another area at the front of my house that gets ALL DAY SUN where I would also like to possibly plant Limelights. I live in semi-coastal southern California. I have a large picture window at the front of the house, where I would love to grow Limelights in front of, to provide a pretty view from inside the house and also give a bit more privacy from the outside. The front of my house faces South and the area gets ALL DAY SUN. Do you think the Limelights will do well in this area? Or will it get leaf burn and petal burn from the harsh afternoon sun like many of the other varieties of Hydrangeas??? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I get leaf burn here in Texas if they are exposed to too much sun; it would be interesting to hear from Californians in Z10b though. |

The Soccer Cleats Worn for the 25 Best Goals of the 21st Century
Goals— what we watch and play the game for. There is no better feeling than connection on the right ball or beating several players before smashing the ball into the back of the net. Everyday there are dozens of classic goals scored, some get high profile media attention while others fall by the wayside. Either way, a stunning goal is a stunning goal. We take a look back over the past 13 years, or since the turn of the century, at some of the top goals that have been scored and the boots those players were wearing at the time.
This is our list of The Soccer Cleats Worn for the 25 Best Goals of the 21st Century.
Bryan Byrne is the founder of SoccerCleats101. Got a question about boots? Hit up Bryan on Twitter.

They had a massive 2013 with the success of "WHO," and they've since done a lot of the same to bring the funk back to the dancefloor and this remix is no different. The original samples Ozzy Osbourne's "Iron Man" and makes a pretty standard chugging big beat tune out of it, but Plastik Funk's remix is funky as ever. Grab this via Tiger Records on April 23.

LOS ANGELES, April 4, 2013 — Wednesday was loaded with baseball games. All 30 teams were playing, including a possible World Series preview between the Cincinnati and Anaheim.
Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton combined to go 0 for 7, as the Reds defeated the Angels 5-4. Aroldis Chapman picked up the win for the Reds. Brandon Phillips hit a three-run homerun off Anaheim starter C.J. Wilson in the fourth inning and Joey Votto knocked in the game winning run with a walk-off single.

The Red Sox beat the Yankees for the second time in a row 7-4. Yankee starter Hiroki Kuroda left in the second inning with a bruised finger after getting hit by a ball by Shane Victorino in the first at-bat of the game. Clay Buchholz got the win, going seven innings and giving up one run with four strikeouts and two walks. Joel Hanrahan picked up his first save in a Boston uniform.
Jason Heyward, Justin Upton and Evan Gattis all homered for the Braves in a 9-2 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies. The worries about Phillies starter Roy Halladay from the spring have carried over into the regular season. The once dominant hurler was chased in the fourth inning after giving up five earned runs and two homeruns, but he did have nine strikeouts.
The Cleveland Indians beat Toronto 3-2 on a Mark Reynolds solo homerun in the 11th inning. Indians DH Michael Brantley went 4 for 5 at the plate and Ubaldo Jimenez took a no-decision, going six innings with six strikeouts and only giving up one run. Brandon Morrow also turned in a solid start, but with nothing to show for it. He went six innings with eight strikeouts and one earned run.
Oakland avoided a sweep by beating the Mariners 6-2 in Oakland. Seattle's Michael Morse continued his torrid hitting with his third homerun of the young season. Jed Lowrie went 3 for 3 with three RBIs for Oakland. A's pitcher Tommy Milone gave up two earned runs and struck out four in seven innings and got the win.
SEE RELATED: Designated Hitter coming soon to National League
The Nationals' Gio Gonzalez did it all, pitching six innings of shutout ball with five strikeouts. He also chipped in on offense with a solo shot in the fifth inning. Bryce Harper went 2 for 4 with a double and a run scored. Kevin Slowey pitched well for the Marlins, but took the loss and Giancarlo Stanton went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts. The Nationals won 3-0 and improved to 2-0 on the year.
Alexi Ogando struck out 10 batters without giving up a run in six and a third innings to get the win for the Texas Rangers over Houston. Jose Altuve went 2 for 4 with a double for the Astros.
The Chicago White Sox hit three homeruns off Royals starter Ervin Santana and another off reliever Luke Hochevar. Jake Peavy got the win, striking out six in six innings and giving up one run for Chicago. The White Sox defeated the Royals for the second time in a row.
San Francisco shut down the Dodgers again on Wednesday night despite Giants starter Tim Lincecum walking seven in five innings. Josh Beckett went six innings for the Dodgers, giving up five runs, three earned, including a two-run homer to Pablo Sandoval in the second inning. The Giants beat the Dodgers 5-3 and Sergio Romo picked up his second save in as many days.
Arizona's Cliff Pennington singled in Jason Kubel for the winning run in the bottom of the 16th inning as the Diamondbacks beat St. Louis 10-9 in extra innings.
