text: The course for this race is beautiful with a great variety of terrain and views. As you might expect from a trail race there are many roots, rocks, rolling hills, and the potential for mud, rain, snow, ice. Despite this the race has a forgiving surface and is considered to be less intense and technical than some other trail races in our region. For this reason we think that this course is ideal for an experienced marathoner who wishes to go for a fast time or for a 10K or half marathon runner who seeks to set a new personal record for their longest run ever, in a setting that will allow them to enjoy their experience. This race also might serve as an outstanding "training race" for the Playin' Possum 50K which will be held on many of these same trails on May 17! Because of the generous time allowances it is also a good event for someone seeking to fast-hike the distance.The course starts at the Dam area and runs north along the top of the levy wall for approximately one mile prior to entering an area of rough single track trail for approximately another ½ mile. This brief section of unimproved trail has a river crossing…expect to get wet. The course then travels along the wide smooth grass shoulder of paved park roads for approximately one mile, through the beach area, and through a series of picnic areas and along a disc golf course before picking up the Mink Run Trail. Runners will then proceed on single track trail along the Mink Run, Briar Patch, and Lakeview Trails before accessing the Bigfoot Trail, which will take them to the turnaround at the 9.3 mile mark. Runners will return along this same route to the start/finish area. Most of the race is run through beautiful single-track trail through a deep woods with frequent views of Delaware Reservoir. The trail is rolling and potentially muddy but it is non-technical enough to allow a runner to appreciate their surroundings as they move through an area that was a farming community 30 years ago before the land was restored. An astute runner will be able to see signs of old hedgerows, bases of buildings, barb-wire fencing posts and abandoned farm roads…but only if you look closely. The northernmost part of the course travels through a nationally known bird sanctuary before the runners turn and head for home. The 10 Mile Race, new in 2015, will largely be run on the same trails used for the Thirty Kilometer race.PLEASE NOTE: The race directors reserve the right to adjust this course if asked to do so by ODNR or State Park officials, or to otherwise enhance runner safety in the event of severe flooding or very inclement weather….but please expect SOME mud, ice, and other nastiness we all LOVE about trail races!

Optimal Exercise Plan for Women?
Making News:
There are many different exercise protocols out there. When it comes to mature women, is there a best plan? New research suggests there is.
Researchers from the University of Alabama at Birmingham wanted to understand the impact of three different training frequencies on older women. They also aimed to learn whether different frequencies would affect total energy expenditure (TEE) and activity-related energy expenditure (AEE). They recruited 72 women, aged 60–74, and organized them into three categories: 1 day per week of cardiovascular training and 1 day per week of strength training (1+1); 2 days per week of cardio and 2 of strength (2+2); and 3 days per week of each (3+3). The cardiovascular training consisted of 40 minutes of exercise at 80% of maximum heart rate, while the strength component comprised 2 sets of 10 repetitions for 10 exercises at 80% of 1-repetition maximum.
Data measures included body composition; self-reported feelings of fatigue, depression and vigor; strength; maximal oxygen uptake; and resting and total energy expenditure. The intervention lasted 16 weeks.
By study end, all women had increased their fat-free mass, strength and cardiovascular fitness, and all had reduced their fat mass. There were no changes in fatigue or depression. However, there were disparities in total and activity-related energy expenditures among the groups.
"TEE and AEE increased with the 2+2 group but not with the other two groups," the authors noted. "Non- exercise training AEE (nonexercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT) increased significantly in the 2+2 group (+200 kilocalories/day), group 1+1 showed a trend for an increase (+68 kcal/day) and group 3+3 decreased significantly (-150 kcal/day).
"Results indicate that 3+3 training may inhibit NEAT by being too time-consuming and does not induce superior training adaptations to 1+1 and 2+2 training."
The study appeared in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2013; Jan. 30 [epub ahead of print]).

Of course, the tailfins grafted on to the 1956 Lincoln to create the 1957 model didn't help, either. -
besthubcaps1 Posts: 1The end of Packard was certainly a sad day and I owned some of the early 50's models and certainly appreciate the fine old Packards from before but in my mind the saving grace in the 58 is that it was a relative to the 53 Studebaker Lowey coupe. I am a lover of all old cars, especially the 50's and if Packard had to go why not with a reference to what I feel was truly a true classic design in the 53 Lowey.

This morning, I found SCALE on my Sans!It's a cultivar from my mom that she's had more than 30 yrs. I've owned this baby for 9 yrs and have NEVER seen this. I fear that the scale arrived on a new Drac cordyline I just purchased.
I've banned the DC to another room and will attack the scale by picking,after misting with a 1/3 water, palmolive dish soap and oil adding a bit of alcohol. Then I'll wipe down each gloriously tall leaf w/ cotton ball and alcohol. Thank you all very much for the great posts. I was really at a loss... |

I don't get bugs on this species, but I do on Haworthia, I use Windex. or 25% alcohol with water, or dirty dishwater from a greasy hand washed frying pan. Not dishwasher soaps, soap, 'White King' 'Ivory' like your grandmother used on Roses. Neem Oil works, which is a natural killer. Or Saffer's Soap. Just a few suggestions. Bayer's Rose 2-1 with a stemtic, or a just a stemtic if you can find one, always follow directions and wash hands after you use the stemtic. Norma |

Mom, Lawyer, Jewish Breast Cancer Crusader
As part of our month-long series dedicated to Women, Work & Money, Rochelle Shoretz tells us how she went about founding Sharsheret, an organization for Jewish women facing breast cancer.
I decided to study law because I thought it would open doors.
I was a second year college student in New York City, spending most of my time thinking about those doors–worrying about what was behind each and what I would forego when I had to choose just one. And so I simply wouldn't choose. I entered law school not for the law degree, but for the skeleton key I thought I would find there for almost any other profession.

Are there any competitors in this area of further education?

1935 Packard Twelve news, pictures, specifications, and information | ||
Tweet |
Coupe Chassis Num: 838223 | |||
Sold for $242,000 at 2007 Gooding & Company. |
In 1924 the Twin Six was replaced by Packard's straight eight which would carry the Packard name through the 1920s. With the onset of the Great Depression, and the escalating cylinder wars of the other automakers, Packard revived their twelve-cylinder powerplant.
The new Twin Six made its debut in 1932. It was an advanced machine with hydraulic valve lifters and a modified L-head design. Horsepower was attractive, rated at 160 bhp from the 445 cubic-inch unit. The Twin Six became known as the Twelve the following year and remained in production through 1939. In war time, the twelve cylinder unit was used for military boats and aircraft.
This car was owned by Henry Fisher in the late 1930s and later passed to his daughter, Ann Klein. The car is in original condition with its interior showing very little wear and the exterior paint is still exceptional considering its age. The chrome plating, also original, is still in good condition. The wood trim surrounding the windshield needs refurbishing.
This car has been driven 52,000 miles since new, is mechanically original, a Full Classic and eligible for all the CCCA's many regional and national activities.
Mounted under the bonnet is a 385 cubic-inch V12 L-head engine mounted at a 67-degree angle and produces 175 horsepower. There is a three-speed selective synchromesh gearbox and a rear-mounted spare tire and cover.
This 1935 Packard Twelve Model 1207 Coupe was offered for sale at the 2007 Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, California where it was estimated to sell for $100,000 - $125,000. As bidding got underway, it soon became obvious that the estimates were far too low. As the gavel fell for the third and final time, the lot had been sold for the sum of $242,000 including buyer's premium.

Coupe Roadster |
Sixteen body styles were available on the Twelve chassis, including this sporty coupe roadster. However, only 788 Twelves were built in 1935, as production of luxury automobiles continued to decline.
In 1935 Packard had introduced the medium priced 120 series, a small, eight-cylinder car whose sales hit 24,995 making it, by far, the most popular Packard series available for 1935. (Standard Eight sales hit 4,781 and Super Eight sales were 1,392).
This 1934 Packard Convertible Victoria is fitted with a custom body built by Ray Dietrich on a 142-inch wheelbase chassis. It has been treated to a full, professional restoration and has previously won a First in Class award at Pebble Beach. This 1935 Packard V-12 Coupe Roadster was originally purchased by Marland Woolnough of Toronto, founder of National Grocers in Canada. The complete ownership is known and documented since new. It is one of only six V12 coupe roadsters known to exist and the only one to have a rear mounted spare tire and trunk.
Convertible Sedan Chassis Num: 873 232 Engine Num: 86L 066L | |||
Sold for $181,500 at 2006 RM Auctions. High bid of $145,000 at 2011 Gooding & Company. (did not sell) |
This vehicle has many options and amenities including the dual side-mount spares and hard metal covers and mirrors. The wire wheels are chromed and painted and the tires are whitewalls.

Convertible Victoria Coachwork: Rollston & Company |
This 1935 Packard Twelve Model 1208 was originally purchased by a New York lawyer who used it extensively at his New Jersey summer estate. This is the only example of this custom Rollston design on a Packard chassis - the other two were built on Duesenberg chassis. The car was restored in 1964 and has just completed a show paint restoration.
Coupe Roadster Chassis Num: 903-111 | |||
Sold for $181,500 at 2011 RM Auctions. |
It was sold new on March 22nd of 1935 at the W.H. Collins, Inc. Packard dealership in Hollywood, CA. In the 1970s, it was acquired by a California collector and restorer who retained it for four decades. During that time, it was treated to a high quality restoration around 1990, finishing it in two-tone Green color scheme which it wears today. It won a National First Place badge from the Classic Car Club of America.
The car has a battery cut-off switch and two six-volt batteries connected with a solenoid which allows for starting on twelve-volts and operation on six-volts.
There is also an electric fuel pump to aid starting after a period of storage
In 2011, this car was offered for sale at the Hershey auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $190,000 - $220,000. Bidding reached $181,500 but was not enough to satisfy the vehicle's reserve. It would leave the auction unsold.

Close-Coupled Limousine Coachwork: Brewster Chassis Num: I207 2I5 Engine Num: 903773 | |||
Sold for $56,100 at 2012 RM Auctions. |
In early-1935, Packard chassis 1207215 was selected for a new order by Mrs. Hutton. The Humer-Binder Co. Inc., located on New York's 11th Avenue was commissioned to transfer the Brewster Close-Coupled Limousine body from her 1928 Rolls-Royce Phantom and adapt it to her new Twelve chassis. The chassis price was $3,700 and the total cost of the work was quoted at $6,685. The project included the addition of a new solid roof for the chauffeur's compartment, shatterproof glass throughout, new silk window shades, re-varnished interior window moldings, and a complete repaint with crests applied to the rear doors.
When the Hutton's divorced in 1935, the Brewster-bodied Twelve remained with E.F. Hutton. According to a 1964 affidavit executed by Vaughn S. Jenkins, Mr. Hutton's longtime chauffeur, the Brewster-bodied Packard was laid up on blocks and stored at Mr. Hutton's Old Westbury residence in 1939, and then in 1947, it was fitted with new tires, re-commissioned, registered, and again, placed on blocks and stored until the car was sold to its second owner, Lewis L. Smith Jr. At that time, recorded mileage was 33,572.
Mr. Smith retained the Packard for 25 years and then, the current owner acquired it via a dealer in 1990. The current owner sympathetically restored the car including an engine rebuild. It was given hardened valve seats and modern bearings, and a high-speed rear end. New diaphragms were recently fitted to the vacuum booster. The steering and brakes were completely sorted. The interior woodwork was refinished, and the leather upholstery was replaced.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at the St. Johns sale presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $90,000 to $130,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $56,100 inclusive of buyer's premium.

Sport Phaeton Chassis Num: 821-202 | |||
Sold for $319,000 at 2012 RM Auctions. Sold for $286,000 at 2014 RM Auctions. |
The Packard 12, with its 473-cubic inch V-12, was, without question, Packard's most elite and luxurious model. One such example of Packard's ultimate expression of luxury and affluence was the Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton, chassis number 821-202, built in 1935.
One of just 788 V-12s produced in 1935, 821-202, would first be delivered to a customer in Lake Forest, Illinois. The base price of the car at the time of its delivery would be an impressive sum of $4,290, and that would be before options. In 1935, that would be an incredible sum of money.
The car would remain within the estate of its original owner until the 1950s when David Dangler, a V.P. with the Northern Trust Bank, came to own the car. Upon coming into the possession of Dangler the history of the 821-202 becomes a little uncertain. It is believed, however, Dangler sold the car to Jay Gross, a lawyer from a small town known as Princeton, Illinois. Gross was not only a lawyer, but also, an owner of the Princeton Auto Museum.
What is known is that Walter Cunny then purchased the car from Gross and had it undergo a full frame-up restoration. The entire restoration work would take a period of five years and would be completed by Fuller Bros. Restorations Co. of Clinton, Iowa.
When the car emerged from its restoration the car would take part in a number of concours events throughout the Midwest. One of those events would be the 21st Classic Concours held in Indiana in 1977. In that event, 821-202 would go on to earn a total of 99.25 points out of a possible 100. Two years later, at the 1979 Indiana Grand Classic, the car would score an even 100.
This high scoring Packard 12 would remain in the possession of Mr. Cunny for a number of years until it became the possession of Dr. Gerald Greenfield of Washington around 1996. Dr. Greenfield would only the car for only a couple of years before it would come to be acquired by its current owner. The current owner would offer a trade for the Packard 12. His offering for the car would be his own Packard, a Packard Darrin.
Although the car sports an older restoration, its look and presentation remain such that it has been a feature in a number of publications including a February 1995 issue of Collectible Automobile and a March-April 1980 issue of the Dashboard.
Boasting its 175hp V-12 engine and three-speed manual selective synchromesh transmission, 821-202 is believed to be just one of four Dual Cowl Phaeton 12s built for 1935 and is full of known history from new. CCCA Classic eligible and one of Packard's rare breeds, 821-202 will continue to turn heads and impress for years to come.
Chassis 821-202 would be offered at the 2012 Monterey RM Auction and would come with a pre-auction estimate of $280,000 and $350,000.

The car is finished in medium blue with chrome wire wheels and wide whitewall tires. There is a crimson leather interior with matching carpet and a tan canvas top. In addition to the servo-assisted mechanical brakes, it has adjustable shock absorbers, a radio, and the standard rumble seat with a golf bag door.
This is one of the last Dietrich-built Packards to be completed. In July of 1935, Dietrich Inc. wound down, although the label would continue to be used for two years longer on Murray-built bodies.

Sport Phaeton Chassis Num: 821-202 | |||
Sold for $319,000 at 2012 RM Auctions. Sold for $286,000 at 2014 RM Auctions. |
The Packard Twelve was produced from 1933 to 1939 with over 35,000 examples produced. It is considered by many to be one of the finest automobiles produced by Packard and one of the most significant creations of the classic car era. The long and flowing front hood hid a 445 cubic-inch side-valve twelve cylinder engine that was refined, powerful, smooth, and quiet.
The engine was originally destined for a front wheel drive project which eventually proved to have weaknesses. That and the anticipated development cost were too much to be practical so Packard decided to scrap the idea. Cadillac had introduced their 16-cylinder engine and other marques such as Pierce-Arrow were improving the performance of their offerings. Packard was feeling the pressure and decided to place the engine into the Deluxe Eight Chassis and dubbed it the Twin Six. The name was in honor of Packard's achievement fifteen years earlier when the introduced their first 12-cylinder engine. By 1933 the name was changed to Twelve to be inline with the rest of the Packard models.
Most of the Packard production Twelve's received factory bodies. Only a handful received custom coachwork by such greats as LeBaron and Dietrich.
In 1935 Packard introduced more horsepower and mechanical improvements. The suspension became more plush and comfortable while the steering became easier to operate. The cars were designed and built as one unit including the fenders, running boards, hood and body.
1936 the final year for 17 inch wire wheels and the double blade bumpers with hydraulic dampers.

The 411 on VH1's HushHush: Blogger Backlash on the QT
Like the half million blogs (or so) launched everyday, VH1's show about blogs might end up suffering the same fate: premature bust.
HushHush is the name of the network's new pop culture series that's hoping mainstream buzz about blogs – is that still going on? – will be its ticket to a successful new programming gimmick. Their magic formula: take the editors behind wildly successful indie entertainment blogs, put them in front of a camera, and bam!, insta-ratings.
Unfortunately for them, the bloggers aren't buying it.
Last month, VH1 fired off invitations to audition to what seemed like anyone who had put their fingers on a keyboard and launched a blog mildly related to entertainment. Blogs including Just Jared, Hollywood Tuna, and even our own MollyGood and Jossip were pitched for the series. (To get it out of the way: As much as we heart VH1 and Best Week Ever, this blog didn't even respond to their emails. Getting pitched for that Joan Rivers show was insulting enough.)
Try-outs were held in New York and Los Angeles over the past couple weeks, with VH1 flying in potential on-camera talent for group auditions where bloggers – many of whom had never met before – were encouraged, according to one insider, to "act like they were friends" on camera and joke around with each other like old pals. (Or, as one hopeful put it, "Act like idiots in front of a bunch of producers who [themselves] didn't know what the fuck they wanted from us.")
More blogger backlash after the jump.
But while the auditions allowed the bloggers to build new social networks (we hear they're called "blogrolls"), they also gave the potential talking heads time to muse that "this type of show shouldn't be on television," says one insider.
What type of show? Essentially, a blogger roundtable that discusses the current pop culture topics — with the usual doses of forced snark and humor.
Says another put-off blogger : "It's obvious that these show producers want to capitalize on the large traffic our sites have, while getting bloggers on the cheap. I think they still see bloggers as celebrity wannabes (like Perez) but they don't understand that we're smarter than they think we are, and the lure of a 15 minute spotlight isn't quite enough anymore."
Adds another, "Not only is this format never going to work, they seem to be expecting [the bloggers] to do all the work promoting the show. If I wanted to give away free advertising, I'd sign up with Glam.com."
So the show marches on, with call backs and the regular casting nonsense. But the producers seem wildly unaware that the talent they're hoping to capitalize on – at least according to the numerous bloggers we spoke with – are barely on board. And the last thing you want your pop culture show to do is piss off the bloggers.
I "heart" VH1 2, They've helped me build my profile. That said, Viacom, is going to have to up it's game; meaning, we ain't so stupid we're going to hand over our user base. Maybe they didn't see the news on what Youtube and Myspace sold for....Hmmm. Seems "freinds networks" are more valuable than "network networks".
I dont get what the big fuss is. I think TV exposure is a lot bigger than the exposure any blogs have. The show will probably give blogs more exposure, and vice versa. On top of that the bloggers will get paid for their appearance, so its not like they're doing it for free.
I think the truly smart bloggers will know how to work this in their favor, but that just my opinion!
You mean nobody contacted ME to go on this show??!!!
I wouldn't be snobby about it.... but maybe I'm not one of those really "Smart" bloggers...lol
Seems a decent idea to me.
The problem might be that most bloggers aren't too happy with being identified and recognised.
I got invited to this. Good job they couldn't afford the air fare from London by the sounds of it.

PENSACOLA, FLORIDA - A federal indictment has been returned charging twelve individuals with conspiring to obtain pseudoephedrine in order to manufacture methamphetamine, announced United States Attorney Pamela C. Marsh, Northern District of Florida.
The federal indictment charges that James Brown, 45, of Molino, Tonya Foster, 36, of Pensacola, Aaron Hendrickson, 36, of Pensacola, Rebecca Jernigan, 36, of Molino, Patricia Love, 29, of Pensacola, Raymond Love, 30, of Pensacola, William Neal, 29, of Pensacola, Terra Palmer, 34, of Cantonment, Matthew Ramsey, 38, of Pensacola, William Robbins, 23, of Molino, Nicholas Scott, 31, of Pensacola and Terry Wolfe, 47, of Robertsdale, Alabama, were involved in a conspiracy to possess and distribute pseudoephedrine for use in manufacturing methamphetamine. Ramsey and Wolfe are also charged with conspiring to manufacture the methamphetamine itself. In addition to the federal indictment, state drug charges were filed yesterday against other individuals alleged to have been involved in the organization.
Following their arrests, the federal defendants began to make their initial appearances today before United States Magistrate Judge Elizabeth M. Timothy. A trial date will be set in the near future. Each defendant faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Ramsey and Wolfe, who face the additional charge of conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, face up to life in prison upon conviction. However, an indictment is merely a formal charge by the grand jury. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case results from a long-term investigation by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office and the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg.

Obama online chat yesterday.... here's the interesting bit.
"During the chat, Obama said the country might need to consider amending the Constitution to overturn the Supreme Court's decision in the 2010 "Citizens United" case that allowed outside groups known as Super PACs to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns. "Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United (assuming the Supreme Court doesn't revisit it)," he wrote. "Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight on the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change."" "The Country"... is that us? Is that him? Who is going to put forth legislation that attempts to amend the constitution to rid us of the "Citizens United" fallout? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Colorado will likely have a ballot question on this - if the signatures hold up. I think its that the donors have to identify themselves - countered, of course, by the Republicans who state that when their names are given, they get threatening correspondence. Which has never been much of a problem yet in 200 years, but I guess now, it suddenly is. So secret political money for personal safety. /really |

More from the transcript... "Suzmerk: What are you going to do to end the corrupting influence of money in politics during your second term? Obama: Money has always been a factor in politics, but we are seeing something new in the no-holds barred flow of seven and eight figure checks, most undisclosed, into super-PACs; they fundamentally threaten to overwhelm the political process over the long run and drown out the voices of ordinary citizens. We need to start with passing the Disclose Act that is already written and been sponsored in Congress - to at least force disclosure of who is giving to who. We should also pass legislation prohibiting the bundling of campaign contributions from lobbyists. Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United (assuming the Supreme Court doesn't revisit it). Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change." |

It isn't that easy to amend the Constitution or to force a reversal of a Supreme Court decision. The following is one site of many that gives the method of amending the Constitution. I use it because it is the easiest to read. "Recognizing that future eras would face different sets of issues, challenges, and priorities, the Founding Fathers created an amendment process by which the Constitution could be altered. Article V of the Constitution grants this right, stating: The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid, to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress. [1] Two ways to amend the Constitution The founders offered two mechanisms for changing the Constitution. The first is for the proposed bill to pass both halves of the U.S. Congress (House and Senate) by a two-thirds majority in each. Once the bill has passed both houses, it then goes to the states. While the Constitution does not impose a time limit on states for which to consider the amendment, Congress frequently includes one (typically seven years). In order to become an amendment, the bill must receive the approval of three-fourths of the states (38 states). This approval can be generated through either a state convention or a vote of the state legislature. In either case, a majority vote is necessary for passage. Often, the proposed amendment specifies the route which is necessary. The second method prescribed is for a Constitutional Convention to be called by two-thirds of the state legislatures (34 states), and for that Convention to propose one or more amendments. These amendments are then sent to the states to be approved by three-fourths of the legislatures or conventions. As of July 2006, this method has never been used. [2] Role of the executive Unlike the process by which a law is passed, the executive branch (the president) plays no official role in the amendment process. Presidents may call upon Congress to consider an amendment, but these requests carry no force of law. Amendment process in practice Because any amendment can be blocked by only thirteen states withholding approval (in either of their two houses), amendments are difficult to pass. In over two-hundred years since the ratification of the Constitution, over 10,000 amendments have been proposed, while only 27 have been added. The first ten of these (The Bill of Rights) secured passage almost immediately. The very difficulty of amending the Constitution greatly increases the importance of Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Constitution, because reversal of the Court's decision by amendment is difficult to obtain. [3] "Proposed constitutional amendments Federal Marriage Amendment The process was not ever intended to be easy. This is how a ruling of the Supreme Court must be reversed. Another example of the easiest to read and understand. "No single entity - not the President, Senate, House of Representatives, state Governors, nor anyone else - has the power to overturn a US Supreme Court ruling. Supreme Court decisions cannot be nullified by other parts of government. However, if the Supreme Court strikes down a federal law, Congress can always modify the law until it is such that the Supreme Court does not consider it to violate the Constitution, then pass it again. Supreme Court decisions can only be overturned in two ways: Legitimate Methods The US Supreme Court reverses a decision on an earlier case by making a contradictory decision on a current case. Congress and the States can overturn a decision by amending the Constitution. Illegitimate Methods (Passive Resistance) Sometimes the Executive Branch obstructs or fails to enforce a decision. Sometimes Congress rewrites legislation to bring it into compliance with constitutional guidelines. Sometimes Congress strips the Supreme Court of its appellate jurisdiction over certain types of cases to deprive them of the ability to overturn a law or policy. Sometimes states pass laws that clearly violate Supreme Court decisions, forcing someone with standing to challenge the new law's constitutionality. Meanwhile, the law can be enforced even if violates established civil rights. State legislatures do this with the hope of overturning, or slipping around, precedents set by earlier Courts. Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_can_US_Supreme_Court_decisions_be_overturned#ixzz254gRlHzc " Once again it may be possible but isn't likely to be of benefit to the original protesters. In real life, there must be an action of a lower court and an appeal of that decision before the issue can come before the Supreme Court again. It would take years and a lot of new Justices willing to go against the previous decision. It has been done but again the writers of the Constitution did not want the process to be easy or be subject to the passing whims of the populace. Pres.Obama was playing to his base. |
Sleepless, and what about the plank in the GOP platform that states they are committed to a Constitutional amendment defining life from the moment of conception......playing to the base? |
"drown out the voices of ordinary citizens." I think this happened some time ago, I would date it to round about when Tom, Dick, and Harry were no longer allowed to wander into the president's house for a chat, give or take a few decades. |

Clarifying the Facts: NFP Teacher Responds to Congressman Todd Akin Comments
While I do not wish to jump into the political fray over whether or not Senator Akin should stay or go, I think it is important to clarify the point he was trying to make. Rape is rape, there is nothing to debate there, but the female body does indeed have the ability, when under duress, to delay ovulation. Continue Reading

Tara: I have two friends that were nurses, one a LP, one a RN. They WERE indeed taught that a woman's body can shut down during a rape because of the stress and TRAUMA. Akin spoke with the knowledge that he had. Yes, that particular study has been modified, unfortunately, Akin didn't do any more research on it in all these years. I agree he misspoke. Sooo, naturallly, anyone not knowing that it was actually believed, at one time, would jump all over his words. Akin's pro-life stance, which should be the same for every Catholic, that abortion, even in the event of a rape, is unacceptable. As Catholics, the only way that an abortion would be acceptable is if the mother was in MORTAL danger, and that, doctor's report, is very, very, VERY rare. What is going on here is, the "PROGRESSIVE FACISTS RINO'S" do not want another true conservative in Washington. They are very unhappy with the "new kids on the block" that were elected in 2010. What disgusts me the most is, that these RINO's will EAT THEIR OWN in order to keep power. Think about it. Who made the most TO DO about all this. Sure, the commies helped but it is the RINO's more than anyone that is making a big deal of this. True conservatives in Missouri elected Akin and if he stays in the race, these same true conservatives need to see that Akin is the next senator for Missouri. My sympathy goes out to Missourians because they now have Clair McCaskill, who has her head so far up Obama's you know what, that she is a danger to Missouri and to this country. I hope Missouri gets her out of office. We need to get all the Obama clones out of Washington. Yes, that includes the RINO's too. I read where these RINO's, Sen. Blunt, Jim Talent, Ashcroft, Danforth, Sen. Cornyn and that despicable Karl Rove, are recommending a more "moderate" candidate, Joann Emerson. who is another RINO to take Akin's place. She would just be a RINO McCaskill. I am so sick of the RINO facists in the Repubican party, I could puke. God bless.

Tara, I was not advocating "killing the poor," in any way. My point is simply this: if abortion is banned, as it should be, there will be greater numbers of poor children in our country. It's reasonable to assume that wealthy and well-informed women will still find doctors who will perform abortions for them. On the other hand, the poor will have to bear their children.
We will not have the resources to properly care for these children, because conservative lawmakers will have starved our social safety net. It's as simple as that. We won't have the resources to care for them or to help them improve their lives.
And please note that although I know that Margaret Sanger was a feminist from history, I don't know her writing. I'm not a Communist, Socialist, or even a Democrat. I'm just a member of the congregation who is asking questions.

To GW,
I believe the author's comment about not wanting to get into the political fray can be likened to someone saying, "I hate to tell you this..." or "I'm not trying to be mean, but..." It is a conversational way of speaking or writing. What I took her to mean is, I wouldn't normally comment on political issues, but this is something I can't ignore. Also, not unlike your spineless paragraph which started, "If things were different...". If you really believe that, have the guts to come out and say it.
As to your other comments, no one knows for sure if there will be no provisions for what you claim will be an increased number of poor children. If nothing else, I'm sure there will be some democrats lurking around to find some way to spend our money. But the reality is, it is not the federal government's responsibility to provide for anyone. If anything that should be left up to the states, however, ideally it would be taken on as a responsibility of the local community, churches, etc. And that would happen more if it weren't for so much regulation involved in helping poor people. The feds are indeed perpetuating their existence by first making it difficult for people to help people on an individual level, then putting into place social programs which people have become irreversibly dependent on.
Yes, if abortion is outlawed completely, there will be women who try to have it done anyway, and tragedies that result. However, burglarly is illegal and people are hurt all the time by that, shall we make it legal then? The same could be said about almost anything that is considered to be a crime. Shall we just have no laws then, lest someone get hurt in the process of committing a crime? Think for a minute of how our society has changed since abortion was made legal. Was it worth it?
I do believe that abortion in all instances should be illegal. Making it illegal, however, is not enough. Along with that, there needs to be a refocus of our society towards traditional values that would help to prevent women from being in the situation to have to decide whether to abort or not. -

With regards to my comment that rape is rape, I stand by that. The problem, I think, is that some instances are labeled as rape when they are not. As I said in the earlier comment, I am not a legal expert, so I cannot rightly dissect that discussion, but the point should be understood. In the case where a person, male or female, had given their conscious, complete, informed (a child would not be considered informed in my opinion) and continuing consent than the label of rape would not be applicable. So there can be no illegitimate rape because if there was full consent it is not rape at all.

@Joann and Alex, I completely understand your comments and in truth agree to an extent, also thank you for the correction. I think, though, that Akin's word choice was poor. I wanted readers to understand the basis of Akin's comment with regards only to the biological side. Since I am not well versed in the law, I tried not to dissect the circumstances of rape, but perhaps I was wrong in that regard. It is true that Catholics should not be offended by truth, but I suppose I was thinking of the rape victim when I wrote this and her deep wound. I was trying to be more sensitive in my words. Thank you again for your comments.
@GW, killing the poor because they are poor is not a pro-life, pro-human nor Christian stance. I know that Margaret Sanger shared your thoughts and you can see where she led us. -

People should realize that life begins at conception and what God has given life to has the right to live regardless of the circumstances it was conceived. Let the baby be born, then decide whether to take care of it or to give it up for adoption. Catholic orphanages are ready to accept any "unwanted" child. The family of the rape victim and the immediate community (or parish) should be ready to support the victim financially as well as emotionally during the term of her pregnancy in order to assuage the victim's anger that rouses her to abortion. This is the time to show our solidarity with our neighbors (mother & child) in need. A grave sin (rape) cannot be negated by another sin (murder). I pray for all victims of sexual abuse for the grace of wisdom to discern God's will and the strength to accept it. I pray also for all victims of abortion, may they all rest in God. Amen.

Blessed be the woman who is raped but still bears the Child, for her love for God is greater than unto herself & her reward is great. Similarly can be said of Sarah, who gave her maid out of love to her husband to bear him a child, greatly Blessed to be called as "Mother of many nations" to the proof that Love sans sex, even by rape, the truth that is become scarce in this world, true to the Biblical words, for only a few will find the way to the Kingdom of God.

Just wanted to correct a tiny error. Todd Akin is not yet a senator. He is hoping to win that position in Nov. Todd Akin is a Congressman in the House for the state of Missouri. God bless.

Rape is rape. Really? Has everyone forgotten that rape can be rape while being consensual. I don't think anyone has thought of statutory rape. So you see, there is a difference. So, is there a difference between "legitimate" rape and statutory rape? Legitimate would tend to be a violent rape, whereby the body can shut down because of stress and trauma. When I heard Congressman's interview, that is the way I understood it. Congressman Akin believes that abortion is still abortion even if the child was conceived in rape, and therefore doesn't believe in it. I believe his words were, "why punish the baby because of the sin of the father." That is my sentiment also. Thoughts anyone? God bless.
2 years ago
Not to mention the number of women procuring abortions CLAIMING that they were raped, when they in fact weren't raped. Such a claim undoubtedly makes their abortion sound more justified to our culture. This is an atrocity. The fact that Akin was bringing this to light should not offend anyone, even if they are a woman. It should illuminate the truth that is currently shrouded behind the dark veil of feminism, and that should make CATHOLICS rejoice.

The Limited Launches a Plus-Size Line!
Now here's some amazing news for all of my plus-size women out there: The Limited has just launched an incredibly stylish, incredibly well-priced line just for you. Introducing eloquii by The Limited.
The creation was inspired by plus-size women themselves, who made their frustrations known about the lack of fashionable clothing options available. (Sound familiar?) In the debut collection, you'll find the same quality, trends, and variety you would at The Limited but tailored especially for those who range from size 14W to 24W. Everything is available for purchase now at Eloquii.com.
Another great feature about the site? You can shop according to your shape: diamond, teardrop, heart, infinity, or emerald. (There is a convenient key to what each of these stands for, too, so don't worry about getting confused.)
See my sneak peek below of what this amazing new brand has to offer, and let me know what you think!

Here's a buzzkill: wearing a brand new, hold-the-phone cocktail dress out, only to wrap it in a matronly pashmina or some dude's blazer within 20 minutes of getting wherever you were going. It happens to me all summer long, because I keep assuming that if it's 81 degrees during the day I'll be totally fine without some sort of layer at night—and I'm always wrong. I get to the wedding/overly-air-conditioned restaurant/breezy rooftop shindig and I'm FREEZING. Or at least covered in goosebumps.
That's when I reach for the frumpy black cardigan I've had as a default layer forever, or my mom's pashmina or my boyfriend's jacket, and it's like resigning myself to an outfit I no longer like. It sucks. But it's also my fault, because I keep forgetting to just plan for some other option. A polished, pretty layer, because I do have summer jackets—denim, thin leather, army ones—but they just don't work at parties when I need to be fancy. These ones below do, though. Click through to see them all and, along with the type of cocktail dress to pair them with. Each one is cool enough that you won't even want to take it off when people start Instagraming party pictures, and isn't that the true quality test?

I am not TMZ or Radar Online, I'm just a fat chick sitting on my couch trying to deal with a hormonal storm that likes to take over my brain from time to time.

The author, professor of Early Church History and Patrology at the University of Regensberg, has produced a helpful volume covering the history of the early church through the Council of Chalcedon in A.D. 451.
As both the title and size of the book indicate, the purpose of the author is to strike a "balance between survey which is easy to follow and one which is sufficiently detailed" (viii). In both respects the author has accomplished his purpose. The book has eight chapters detailing the history, structure, and theology of the early church as well as how the church has related to society and political structures. At the end of each chapter the author has provided a helpful bibliography pertinent to the chapter subject.
Highlights in this book are the author's chapter on the "Church Life and Organization," particularly his explanation of the development of the sacraments and the rise of the power of the bishops (67 ff.). Other noteworthy sections are his discussion on the deleterious influence of Alexandrian theology and hermeneutics, particularly in the person of Origen (137-38) and his excellent summaries of the first four ecumenical councils (149 ff.).
Though the author's failure to acknowledge the sovereign work of God in church history and his tendency toward an "evolutionary" approach to history will distract some, this work is still a valuable survey and will provide the reader with an excellent framework of the early church.

Fendi Fall 2012
>> Karl Lagerfeld played mix master for Fall 2012 Fendi, citing an "infinite, innovative interplay of textures, colors and fabrics" as the collection's basis. And true enough — the elements on display were seemingly endless. There were pleated panels, bustles, peplums, capes, and puffed sleeves — all cinched together with enormous belts. Materials were just as diverse, with PVC, crocodile, cashmere, stingray, and — this being Fendi — gobs and gobs of fur. "Modern femininity without references," Lagerfeld explained.

I have two 3 ton units. The XR 13 quote is $13,500 the XR 15 quote is $15,000. Is it worth the extra $1500 to upgrade? This is for the entire installation in new construction. |

What location? Other than the condensers, any other differences in equipment or install? What air handlers are being quoted? Post back. IMO |
Location is coastal Florida, handler is TAM4OA36S31SA for the XR 13 and TAM7AOC36H31SA for the XR 15 system. Otherwise, everything is the same. |

Tubeman What thermostat was quoted? What size heat strip? To your question and I will assume you plan on being in this home for 10+ years, my advice would be the XR15 configuration especially taking into acct your location and that cooling is more important and has a longer season than heating. $1500 is not a steal but it's not absurd either. Perhaps a little negotiating with contractor or dealer is called for. Ask him to sharpen his pencil. I would ask him to upgrade you at his cost difference plus 10% which would be more than fair. I assume the HVAC cost would be incorporated into the mortgage so relatively speaking the cost difference really is inconsequential. Ductwork cost is over and above figures you listed? As a rule of thumb and I know one has to be careful here, you would not If you do elect the XR13, I would want the same VS Hyperion air handler quoted for the XR15. My ideas. IMO |
Thanks very much for your response. All the duct work is included. What is better about the Hyperion handler? |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Wed, Aug 24, 11 at 16:06
Tube man Hyperion is Trane's relatively new line of air handlers. I have not seen any negative comments thus far. I suggest you discuss with your dealer. I am also providing a link to the Trane website which is helpful. IMO |

I would say that XR15 is worth it at a $1,000 premium, given that you are in Florida, but $1,500 is steep and it will take a long time for you to recoup that investment. Consider whether you'd rather spend the money now on the upgrade or, given it's a new construction, throw it at the kitchen or the bedroom. |

One or 2 units for $1500? My cousin is building a new home in Michigan. I think his premium for a single XR15 over XR13 was around $700. I suggested against it as the XR13 with the furnace he's getting is 14 SEER. 1 SEER point in MI isn't worth $700. May be in Florida though 1 point isn't much. |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Sun, Aug 28, 11 at 19:08
I normally agree with Baldloonie. However the cooling season is much longer in Florida compared to Michigan. Just My Opinion |
