- Connect more deeply with others
- Attune to core aliveness
- Listen for feelings and needs
- Speak from the heart

Greetings Don,
In your last article you mentioned several pastor's who "take seriously" the bible. They claimed that the bible teaches the earth is "the body of God." (Where is this taught in the bible?)
Now you claim there are a growing number of businesses "taking seriously" global warming science.
I sure hope these businesses have a greater handle on scientific truth than the pastors have in biblical truth.
I just want one verse that teaches that the "earth is the body of God" - just one verse we can argue about. seriously
How can anything be "Kookier" than having the obstructionist Mark Dayton as Governor?
Mr. Black,
I am confused. Do you support the Obama Budget?
It seems you disparage those who attack the Obama budget without giving your own opinion of the Obama budget.
As a self described "deficit hawk" I would think you would at least have an opinion concerning this budget.
I have a faint recollection of employing this same strategy in previous years. Attack those who attack the Obama budget – without giving your opinion of the Obama budget.
Obama has done a great job - of spending money! Our money and our children's money have been spent to empower Obama's special interest groups and this money will trickle down into his reelection campaign.
Why can't we just raise taxes on the rich and redistribute these funds to the Obama special interest groups?
It will not grow the economy but it will sure increase Obama's campaign funding.
Just think of all the taxes Mr. Romney has paid over the years and all the taxpayers he created.
If Mitt would have been paying 75% in taxes - he would probably have paid a lot less in taxes and created far fewer taxpayers.
Of course, if he was paying a 90% tax rate – it still would not be enough for you.
So Mitt did create jobs and pay taxes?
Mr. Brinkley was not the only one acting like a snob in this video. Mr. Rice acted like a snob also!

All I'll say is that if you are skeptical, watch the video evidence.
Before we get started
A lot of people seem hate on Rangers, and this is most likely because of the average Longbow using Juvenile Brown Bear shitty pug that we all know and hate. When played correctly, Ranger is a ♥♥♥♥ing monster.
- Sword - Primary DPS weapon. Very strong DPS, but it comes with a catch. You'll really have to practice to get used to the autoattack and the timing that the evades require.
- Warhorn - Used for the Blast finisher, Fury, and Swiftness.
- Axe - Primary supplement to Sword. Path of Scars is incredible.
- Dagger - Swap to this if you need the evade from Dagger 4. Dagger 5 can also be used to aggro mobs from a distance. Swapping will also cancel your Sword chain, so you will get an evade on command. If you have high latency, this may not work as smoothly though.
- Longbow - Yes, really. Lead off with Barrage and then Rapid Shot before swapping to Sword. DO NOT USE BEARS
- Berserker's Trinkets
- Berserker's Weapons
- Berserker's Armor with Ranger Runes
- Sigil of Force on your Sword
- 10% Sigil on your Axe
- Sigil of Force and a 10% Sigil on your Longbow
- 6 Marksmanship. I, VII, XI
- 5 Skirmishing. I, V.

Well, I was at the gun show this weekend with the intention of picking up a new pistol. I have a Springfield XD 45, but wanted something more compact for my CCW. After a bunch of research, I decided to buy a Glock 30. Several of the booths had them at various prices. They cost around $525 on average. That seemed like a good deal. However, when looking around for more 45 acp ammo, the cheapest stuff was Tula and Blazer for about $17. That really made me think. I love my XD 45, (and I mean love it!) but if it's cost prohibitive to shoot it, how much fun can I have by leaving it in the safe? So, one of the Glock dealers had a special with a bunch of varying model Glocks for $439. I spent over an hour going back and forth between the Glock 27 and the Glock 23. I really like to size of the 27, but the super short grip did not feel right. I even tried some magazine extensions and a mag collar. The were just ok, and the collar was a bit strange. So, I went with the 23 model. I feels really nice in my hand and the ergonomics are solid. I have yet to fire it, but bought a box of Lawman (165 gr. I believe) ammo. I can't wait to take it out. I will post pics and a video. What do you folks think of your Glock 23 pistols? P.S. I hate to do it, but I'm selling my Springfield XD 45 to equate for the purchase of the Glock 23. Let me know if you're interested. It comes with three mags. Springfield Armory XD 45 pistol : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com

Enjoy your new pistol. I've owned three Glocks and they were very dependable. YOU like it and that's all that matters!
I DID own three of them. Not any more, but thanks.
I'm down to 1 G17 full-size 9mm that lives in the office on the shelf for a go-to type of weapon. I have shot the hell out of it and I would trust it to poke holes in the "unwanted". Carried it for a few years on my person and then was my truck gun. Those spots are now filled with steel guns. Mine likes the Cor-bon. Go shoot it some!
Congrats on the new pistol. I owned a G22 and a G21 for years, never had any problems with either. Ive had a few buddies with G19's and G23's and they loved them. The G19/23's are a nice mid-sized pistol but I could never get them to point well for me, thats why I got the full-sized. Id say you got a good deal on that 23. I just saw a used g17 for sale in a local shop the other day for $450

Senators Urge 'Caution' in Letter to SEC Chairman
The extension, if granted, "will allow for careful analysis of the proposed changes," according to the letter. The letter was signed by Securities Subcommittee Chairman Senator Rod Grams, and Senators Evan Bayh, Phil Gramm, Charles E. Schumer, Mike Crapo, Robert F. Bennett, Wayne Allard, Jim Bunning, Chuck Hagel, and Rick Santorum.
The fundamental concern expressed by the committee members is the wide disparity between the impact of the proposed rules as described by the SEC as opposed to the impact described by members of the accounting profession. "At a time when our accounting standards will require significant modernization if they are to reflect value in today's economy, it is axiomatic that the accounting profession must retain the capacity to respond to these changes."

I am trying to determine what would be a good contrasting maple to an Emperor JM. Both trees will be in full sun and must be as hardy as possible. I was thinking something with yellow/ light green leaves? |

- Posted by gardengal48 PNW zone 8 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 24, 13 at 18:36
Stay with a green leaf, not anything too pale or gold/yellow colored - these tend to be too vulnerable to damage in full sun. If you have the room, I'd consider an 'Osakazuki'. A good, longtime, durable selection that has full green leaves in summer and a wonderful orange/scarlet kaleidoscope of fall color. Gets about the same size as Emp I or Bloodgood and makes and excellent companion. |
- Posted by pmsmith2032 5b (My Page) on Mon, Mar 25, 13 at 8:13
Thanks gardengal. How winter hardy is 'Osakazuki" to zone 5b? Does it bloom earlier or later than most JM? |

I doubt you will have any concerns with this selection. It is one of the oldest cultivated forms of JM's, known equally for its very robust nature and spectacular fall color. I can't speak to your zone but it leafs out comparable with most other JM's in my climate. |

Wednesday, August 05
Tropicana Field
Attendance: None
St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Carl Crawford and Carlos Pena each belted a two-run homer, while Pat Burrell and Jason Bartlett added a solo blast apiece to power the Rays to a 6-4 victory over AL East rival Boston.
"We didn't give up a ton of hits but four of them left the ballpark," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said.
The power surge boosted David Price (5-4) to 5-1 in seven home starts this season. The young lefty twirled six innings of effective ball, giving up two runs on six hits with no walks and five strikeouts for Tampa Bay, which took both meetings in this quick, two-game set.
The club has now won five of six overall to move within three games of the Red Sox for the lead in the AL Wild Card race.
Brad Penny (7-6) was touched for five runs on six hits and two walks for the Sox, who entered the mini-series with a four-game winning streak.
Jason Bay, who returned from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, and Victor Martinez each hit a solo home run in the setback, but it wasn't enough, thanks to Boston's 0-for-11 effort with runners in scoring position.
Bay, who later in the game aggravated his injury, staked the visitors to an early lead with a solo shot in the second. Pena responded in the bottom half with a one-out, go-ahead two-run homer of his own.
Crawford's 12th home run of the year was also of the two-run variety, giving the hosts a 4-1 lead in the third.
Price, who earned a win and a save in the American League Championship Series against Boston last season, stranded two runners in scoring position by retiring Dustin Pedroia on a fly out to end the fifth.
Martinez and Burrell exchanged solo round-trippers in the sixth.
Ben Zobrist's error for Tampa Bay to start the seventh allowed Rocco Baldelli to reach second and eventually score on a Jed Lowrie groundout for a 5-3 game.
Once again, though, Tampa answered with Bartlett's solo rocket off Manny Delcarmen in the bottom half. It was the first homer the reliever has given up in 45 appearances this season.
Dan Wheeler entered from the Rays bullpen with two on and no outs in the eighth, holding the Sox to one run on a Kevin Youkilis RBI groundout.
Bartlett saved a run in the frame by making an acrobatic, inning-ending grab in short center, and J.P. Howell worked around a leadoff walk in the ninth to lock up his 12th save of the season.
"Urgency I think has happened...We're playing much better. We're getting our groove back," Howell said.

The case operates as exactly as stated. The material is soft and looks as if it cost much more than I paid for it. My iPad 2 fits in the case just right and I have even dropped it a few times and it handled the impact well.
Item came broken. Had to return upon arrival. Very flimsy and a cheap feel.
Searched locally at several stores with the same or comparable products. The price was not even in the ballpark! Quality is exceptional; delivery was prompt. Only drawback was that I had to select my second choice of colors. However, price and quality dictated I order this item ASAP!
It's stylish and durable. It really protects my iPad well. My daughter is constantly dropping the iPad and it's well protected in this case.
I am very happy with my new iPad case. The quality construction is great. The settings for the viewing angle are the best so far. I'm not constantly having to hold the iPad to keep it at the viewing angle I selected, it stays put. That's one of the most telling features for me when I purchase a new case. I have access to both the iPad 2 and 3 and these cases work great. I recommend this case to anyone who needs one. They have protected my devices from limited falls also. Enjoy.

newbie has one day at Disneyland LA
Hi everyone! I've been a lurker for a while and love reading about everyone's adventures. My gf and I are super excited to be coming to the US for the first time in July, and we have one day at Disneyland and I wondered if you lovely people might have some advice about how to best arrange our time there. I know it's peak time and so going to be really busy, and hot, and one day is not enough - next time we'll be aiming for November or something I think. But anyway our plan so far is to get there as early as possible (an hour before opening, ideally) and then I guess go for the most popular rides first. Is this what you'd all recommend? Are the fastpasses helpful? Some of the rides we're interested in are Indiana Jones, Big Thunder railroad, Splash Mountain, Pirates, and Space Mountain. Are any of these way overrated? What else would you all suggest?
Thanks so much! cheers, Katherine. |

Early is the right idea! First, do research and prioritize your "must do" attractions. You won't get to everything so decide what's most important. Fast passes are a must to experience the most popular attractions. We opt to walk back and forth rather then proceeding in an orderly circle to maximize Fastpass benefits. Get another as soon as you're allowed (there's a time on your pass) so you spend as little time as possible in lines. If parades aren't a big thing for you it's a great time to find shorter lines. All the rides you mentioned are a lot of fun. I also recommend Haunted Mansion, Matterhorn, and Toy Story Midway Mania. That said, once you pick a small list of "must dos", then try and relax and enjoy the experience. Have a Mickey ice cream bar, listen to the music and people watch on Main Street USA. Hope you have a great time.

Hi Katherine,
I'm also a newbie here, though I've been lurking on and off for a long time. I'm the sort of weirdo who has to plan everything practically down to the minute (at least for the first few hours that the park is open). On the off chance that you are like me, I'll try and give you the sort of tips that I would want in your position. Feel free to ignore my advice if it's too restrictive. Of course you can't do it all in one day, but I think you can get most if not all of your specific list done in one day. Will you have parkhoppers or will you just be doing Disneyland? Anyway, the first thing I'd do when I got in the park if I were you would be to get fastpasses (FPs) for Space Mountain or Indiana Jones. Do you have any interest in doing Star Tours? If so, that's actually the first one you should go for. Those FPs run out quicker since it's new. As Safari Queen mentioned, get another FP as soon as you can. FPs have two times printed on them (usually an hour apart) - the first is the time when you can go get a new pass. The other is supposedly when your pass "runs out" but you can actually come back any time after the first time printed on the pass. So if it says to come back between 9:30 and 10:30 AM, you can go get a new FP at 9:30, and you can actually use that pass at 8:00 PM or any other time after 9:30. You want to get the ones with the longer lines done as early as possible, before the park gets more crowded. That's part of why you don't necessarily want to use your first FPs during the window. You can use them later, and all the while you're going through the queue and actually riding the attraction, the other lines are getting longer. If there are any rides in Fantasyland (especially Peter Pan or Dumbo) you really want to do, I'd do those right when you get there. Maybe send one person to get FPs for Space Mountain or Indiana Jones while the other gets in line. It's gonna be pretty hot, so you want to do Splash in the early afternoon, if possible. This is another one you need a FP for. Last time I was there in July (admittedly a few years ago) the line got up to 90 minutes long (maybe longer). The FP doesn't eliminate all that wait time, but does cut it down significantly (I think it was 10-15 minutes from getting in the FP queue to getting on the ride). FPs make a big difference, and the bigger the crowd, the bigger the difference. The line for Pirates moves pretty fast. It may look like it's getting long in the late morning, but it's not one of the rides you have to do early in the morning. If you can, you might want to wait until the evening, when the crowds start to dissipate a little. I almost always ride prates later in the day when the line gets a little shorter. If you can, try to eat lunch early, like at 11:30 or so, as after about 12:30, the lines get really long. In fact, it gets super crowded for a while in the afternoon (a lot of the locals come for a while, then go home for dinner). The lines for everything will be long (food, bathrooms, stores and of course, rides). I usually take this time to do two things: A) Use some of the FPs I collected in the morning and B) sit and relax. Go to Main Street and listen to music and do some people watching or ride the train around the park. If you want to get a lot done, you'll probably want to stay late, so you will need your energy. Depending on your situation, it might even be wise to go back to the hotel and take a nap. Okay, so there it is. Tips from a militant Disneylander. Really, though, the most important thing is to have fun with the one you're with! Wishing you the best on trip and especially your Disney day! |

I'm also a diehard DL goer and fan. We get to the parks early to get in line for ropedrop. Utilize Magic Morning hours if you can as well as utilizing FP's on major attractions. We'll often immediately head to Buzz or Space Mountain or Star Tours to get an FP, then head to ride Subs, then Matterhorn, then go back and use our FP. We do that sort of thing all day. Getting through Fantasyland rides is always the challenge due to kids and their parents. Long lines. But, in one day, we've ridden almost every attraction before if you play your cards right. And that includes seeing Fantasmic!, Fireworks and the Parade, so it can be done but doing it commando style.

As someone who lived 10 miles from DL for 4 years and went easily 200 times, here's my suggestions:
First you can have more than one fast pass at a time. The Fastpass has 3 times on it. The first one is when you can return to use it... the second one is when you're supposed to have used it by... ignore that time. The third time is in small print at the bottom and it tells you when you can get another fast pass. This time is either the start time of your current fast pass or 2 hours after you got the fast pass, which ever is shorter. rope drop.. go to Space Mountain, get a fast pass and ride it, the line should be very short. When you get off Space Mountain, you will probably be close to getting another fast pass. I would normally go to the Matterhorn and ride that.. However, you might want to hit Finding Nemo. Personally, I think that ride is over rated and cramped and long - the loading and unloading of the subs is the worst in the park. On several occasions, I have asked the CM's to use the stationary viewing room. (It's for handicapped and people who don't like/want to get in the subs.) The stationary viewing room, while not moving like the subs, is a movie of what you see through your sub porthole without the claustrophobia. There has never been a line for the viewing room and it cuts at least 10/15 minutes off he ride time because there is no load time. After either Matterhorn or Nemo, you are more than likely ready to get another fast pass. Get one for Star Tours now. If the line is short, ride it.. if not, go to Peter Pan's Flight. That line may be long, but it will only get longer as the day goes on. This is one of my favorite kid rides in the park. With the exception of Alice in Wonderland (which you want to ride as it's unique to DL), the other 'dark rides' in Fantasyland usually don't have long lines. After Peter Pan, continue through Fantasyland to Frontierland. Check your fast pass time and the times for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Either get a FP or ride it or both. If you can get a FP for BTMM and the FP return time for BTMM is close get the FP. If you have time to kill before the next FP, ride Pirates. Now depending on your next return time, you'll either want to get another FP or ride something until you can get another FP. If you need to ride something, I would suggest Indy. If it's up and running. It breaks down ALOT. When you ride Indy, ask for the 3rd row. It's the bounciest and most fun After Indy, go to Splash Mountain and either ride or get a FP. After Splash, you're at the entrance to Winnie The Pooh. It's cute and if the line isn't TOO long worth a ride. Come back and hit Haunted Mansion. You now have hit, or gotten a FP for every major ride in the park. What's left? Buzzlight Year is fun if you like laser shooting games. In Toon Town, Roger Rabbit's Toon Car Spin is crazy fun AND the Fast Pass system is NOT part of the rest of DL's fast pass system so you can get a FP for this ride no matter WHAT the time is for your next fast Pass. I have always said It's a Small World is 13 minutes of my life I'll never get back, but I still ride it. You'll probably want to do it to say that you've done it once in your life. Teacups are a true 'whirl and hurl' ride, but can be fun. The Story Book Canal boats are kinda cool, but I like doing them later at night because the ducks like to sleep on the displays and there's one scene where it looks like England is being invaded by GIANT KILLER DUCKS. (it's silly.) Hope this helps P.S. you could also start the day a little different by getting a fast pass for Star Tours on the way to Space Mountain and then just ride space mountain getting a fast pass later in the day for SM. |

Others can disagree, but for a first time visit, I'd highly recommend getting the latest edition of the Unofficial Guide to Disneyland. Very thoroughly researched and spot-on advice in terms of how to minimize waits. The current edition (2012) appears to include information on the newly rehabbed Star Tours. If you've only got a day it's $18 well spent.

You know, I was thinking about my post and I want to amend it...
You've gotten some great advice from us, however, many of us have been to DL so many times that we forget what it's like to be a first/second, third time visitor. While I've given you advice on how to maximize your ride time, you also need time to just soak in the magic. The main things, ride wise, you want to hit would be Space Mountain, Star Tours, Matterhorn, Peter Pan, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion (which is a MUST in November because it is re-themed for Halloween/Christmas), and Splash Mountain. Those are the big rides. If you're spending the whole day there, you really shouldn't have a problem hitting them. You'll probably want to catch the parade.. check if there are one or two parades that day. Everyone tends to crowd around the beginning of Main Street and the castle hub. Ask at information, which is at the front of the castle hub if this is a parade that stops or if it is continuous. If it stops, it will probably stop in 3 places. Main Street circle, the castle hub circle, and around It's a Small World. Also ask where it starts (sometimes it goes main street to Small World, or reverse.) Either way, stopping or not, a lesser crowded area to watch is up by It's a Small World. The fireworks are best seen at the juncture of the hub and main street. Get there about 30 minutes before they start.. that area gets PACKED. They may have another show there called Fantasmic. I LOVE this show. It's located on the river around liberty square and new orleans square. IF you have the money, getting a priority seat for this show is SO worth it. There's usually two performances, one at 8pm and one at 10 pm. If you do the 8pm show, it's tough to get to the fireworks. If you go to the 10 pm show, it's basically impossible to get a space after the fireworks unless you have a priority seat. People start saving space for this show 2-3 hours before hand. It makes the river area REALLY crowded. The priority seats are expensive.. I think around $50 for the show, but so worth it. You get a personal dessert/cheese tray, drink of your choice (coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soda) and a seat that's dead center for the show. If you are going to get the seats, get the 10pm show. You can get there after the fireworks and you won't have to fight to find a seat. Eating: There's a place opposite the Indian Jones ride, Bengal Barbeque, that serves, what I call Meat On a Stick.. It's AWESOME! The chicken or beef sticks are fantastic. R2P2 (Red Rocket Pizza Port) in front of Space Mountain is good, too. I always have the Chicken Fusilli. I believe it's one of the few cafeteria places that gives soda refills. If you want table dining, make a reservation at Orlean's Cafe. They have THE BEST Monte Cristo sandwiches I have eaten ANYWHERE. (it's the same sandwich in the Blue Bayou for about $10 less). For dessert, there's a little shop down a side street in Main Street that serves fresh made chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches. Also on Main Street, there's a bakery that has fantastic cinnamon rolls which are BIG and great for breakfast. Ask for it heated. I would avoid the mexican place, Rancho del Zocalo, next to Big Thunder, several of my friends and myself, have not felt well after eating there. The Village Haus, in Fantasyland isn't great and neither is the Hungry Bear in Critter Country - they're both over-priced-dry-burgers places. If there's anything else you want to know, just ask If you choose to reserve seats for Fantasmic or make a reservation at Orleans Cafe, CALL DISNEY at least week before you go. The number is on the Disneyland Web site.. I don't remember it off the top of my head anymore. |

You didn't specify a day, but if you have flexibility in which day, make it a week day. The weekends can be very crowded as that's when locals with Annual Passes go. So if you can visit on a week day it'll be much easier to get more in. Other than that, the others have provided some great advice. Hope you enjoy your trip!!

Home foreclosures have soared across the country, causing ownership to hit the lowest levels in a decade.
Bloomberg News Service reported the number of foreclosures will probably top one million this year. About 18.9 million homes stood empty in the second quarter, the news service said. That helped push the number of new home sales last month to the second-lowest on record.
The combined number of foreclosures and home loan delinquencies affects about one in every seven U.S. mortgages.
A record 4.6 percent of U.S. mortgages were in foreclosure in the first three months of 2010, according to a May report by the Mortgage Bankers Association.
Patrick Newport, an economist with IHS Global Insight in Lexington, Mass., said when people lose their homes, they move in with family members or rent a place to live.

However, on Saturday, the temperature dipped to a normal of 34.2 degree Celsius in Nungambakkam and 35.4 degree Celsius in Meenambakkam. Officials said easterly and south-easterly winds that bring cool, moist air from the sea brought down the temperature on Saturday. The same weather pattern would continue till Monday.

I just put in a new tile countertop...my first DIY project! It came out okay (I give myself about a C+ for a first-timer), but I had a terrible time working with the cement board. I don't have a lot of tools, so I just scored and snapped, and it was a big pain. Can I use cork board or some other kind of backer for the backsplash? Alternatively, if cement board really is the only good choice, can anyone recommend an inexpensive tool to use ? The backsplash has to go around two electrical outlets and a window, and I can't stomach doing that much score and snap! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can use tile backer board that is more like drywall. The stuff that I used for our backsplash and fireplace surround was essentially fiberglass reinforced drywall. It is called DensShield and I got it from Home Depot. |

Cement board is cut doing score and snap. Tiles.....not so much. You can get an inexpensive wet saw at any of the box stores for under $75 that will cut smaller sized tiles a heck of a lot easier and more accurately than a snapper. It's an investment worth making for any DIYer who will do more than one tile project. It will make your life easier and you will wonder why you didn't buy it for your counter project. If you run out of tile projects in your home, you can always put it on Craigslist and sell it for almost as much as you paid for it. Much cheaper than renting one and you can take your time using it! And for easier cutting of cement board, try a heavy duty carpet utility knife, extra blades, and a good straight edge. Score and snap just like you do drywall. |

Chris Macdonald: If we value our kids' futures, we should respect B.C. teachers
To judge a society, look at what it values. We value our kids and their futures. The education system isn't perfect—what is?—but we send them off to school because we love them and want them to have a better life than we did. In turn, we entrust certain responsibilities upon paid professionals, who perform duties we have become largely blind to.
Teachers are society's punching bags—asked to perform tasks we can hardly imagine and rarely appreciate thanks to a biased media, while society largely regards them as overpaid, entitled babysitters. Until the 1960s, female teachers were given the pink slip if they chose to marry. I need not elaborate on such backward thinking, but this sort of snobbery and abuse against educators has gone on for decades and desperately needs re-evaluation and an ounce of intellectual honesty. Maybe we need a visit from education advocate Malala Yousafzai to teach this government what is really important.
I know what you are thinking. B.C. Teachers' Federation president Jim Iker is no JFK. The man needs an intervention from the Fab Five of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy like few people I have seen on television lately. The '80s called and they want their hair back! He doesn't score many points for charisma either. But this isn't about Iker's desperate attempt to look like Jon Bon Jovi or what you think about the teachers' union and its bargaining methods or where you lean on the political spectrum. This is about what we value and respect, and what it is worth to us to have an education system that works: for ourselves, our kids, our province, and our educators. The teacher's union shouldn't have to have a charismatic, tough leader in order to achieve fair deals from the government. The public should demand that the government have basic common priorities, and since Christy Clark ran on a platform that revolved around families, I would assume she would understand more than anyone else what is at issue here. Then again, spending money on attack ads against teachers is a bit like sending troops off to war and then leaving them homeless and without health care when they return because they're "out of money".
There are good teachers and there are bad teachers, as in any profession. But lumping them all together as an argument for the purpose of slander and broad, inaccurate generalizations, as if they are a government-enabled corporate cancer that feasts upon the masses, displays ignorance and a lack of compassion for children and the people we have entrusted to educate them and give them a decent head start in life. The vast majority of teachers aren't "Mickey Mousers" who couldn't find any easier ride in university, but people who genuinely care about their kids. And when they are unable, because of a lack of resources, to do their jobs effectively and educate kids who come with a myriad of unfortunate issues and concerns, that should not reflect badly upon the educators, but on the elected officials who refuse to fund the system with our hard-earned cash in any meaningful way to allow that educator to make a difference in those kids' lives. The system's basic goal should be to ensure these kids don't grow up and mug me in 10 years. At this point, that's no guarantee. And the blame falls squarely upon a legislative body that has failed in its responsibility to give the educators the tools they require in order to make a difference in young lives.
Here are some examples of the issues I am talking about that teachers deal with on a daily basis: kids sharing textbooks (you can imagine how difficult assigning homework would be); lack of decent seating for the kids to be able to see what is being taught; kids whose English is subpar and require extra help as a result; giant class sizes that preclude the teacher from helping multiple struggling students; and kids who come to school hungry or suffering from psychiatric conditions through no fault of their own, but nevertheless require specialized attention—attention teachers alone are unable to provide, because they are only human. Moreover, when you devalue the work of an educator, you devalue the child they worked hard to prepare for life as an adult. Teachers receive all of the criticism when things go wrong, but none of the praise when they go right.
But what do our premier, Christy Clark, and her corporate fascists insist when we argue that public education is underfunded and lacking in necessary resources to effectively educate B.C.'s kids? That the government has spent so much money on other misadventures that its resources are depleted and the money required to fully fund the education system, an ideal they meekly insist has value in this province, has been spent elsewhere. The cost of the Northern Gateway pipeline when all said and done will be in the neighbourhood of $5 to $6 billion. I can think of far cheaper ways to cause environmental damage and violate property rights, but for the sake of the reader and argument, I will not discuss them here.
Let me ask you, though, since we have come this far together: do the priorities of this B.C. Liberal government reflect your values? To answer this question, one must look at the allocation of monies assigned to another prominent sector of government in this province. Fifteen percent of the total budget in British Columbia goes to fund education. That doesn't include the inexplicable recent ad spending to trash teachers (monies that could have been part of a settlement with BCTF). Forty-two cents of every tax dollar goes health care and only 27 cents to education. In three years, the latter number will drop 26 percent. B.C.'s education spending is already the second lowest per pupil in the entire country. Meanwhile, the government is focused on giving themselves raises and padding the wallets of fat cats and oil companies with your hard-earned money.
Ultimately, this issue is one of values and respect. If we value our kids more than we do oil company profits and corporate cronyism, we should value the people we have hired to do a job we decided long ago would be a function of government for the benefit of all. If something is worth doing, it is worth doing right. "One child, one teacher, one pen, and one book can change the world." Yes, Malala, we can change the world.
And I bet the author wanted to be taken seriously...
Then compare that to how much you make.
Take your pick:
1/ Higher taxes
2/some other ministry:health? Social Programs? Policing?
3/Borrowed on the never never and passed onto those very students whom the author purports to be saving.
We have the greedy negotiating with the incompetent and paid for by all the idiots like myself.
You pose a good question. Our government has a 'family's first' platform but fails in all areas, not just education. Considering that health and social programs are NOT fully supported either (social and health programs SUPPORT education and special needs and it is the lack of them that has helped to create these problems), our government must seek elsewhere. Perhaps by decreasing their own salary increases (what was it, 18%).
NOBODY is unbiased.
All these negative comments will have a detrimental effect on good teaching.
If this was a referendum on "do we love teachers" then the BCTF is sitting pretty.
But this dispute, as far as I can tell, is mainly about whether class size should be negotiated in the collective bargaining. The union wants to put class size back on the table, ostensibly to protect the quality of teaching, the government has been keeping it out, presumably for financial flexibility.
There is ongoing litigation on this, with a date in October, so there is no advantage to the government to put it back in until their appeals have run out.
Jim Iker must know this. As a spectator, I wonder how he thinks he can make the government basically abandon its appeal and agree to put class size on the table.
The strike option would not seem to have much more leverage in it. Summer school is done. September rolls around, the government will try to legislate the teachers back to work. If that happens, does Iker wildcat them and maybe they all get fired, or start to split with some crossing and some not? Ehhh you'd hope not, for everyone's sake.
What I would hope for now is that Iker is going to come out and make an irresistable case for class size, period.
AFAIK the union has not done this. They have *asserted* that class size is important, and intuitively yeah it would be important. But since this is the major disagreement with the employer (proposed wages are within 1%/year), the main thing that is keeping people out of work and closing the summer schools, and because the court of public opinion is a thing that the government may heed, the union should be selling the necessity of this bargaining item.
We all know that bargaining class size means hiring more teachers proportionally to the growth of the kiddie segment of BC population, which in turn affects the teacher to administration ratio.
While this is arguably a good thing for teachers, please sell the taxpayer on it. Show examples from other jurisdictions where this results in better teacher retention, better class outcomes, etc.
When the threats don't and frankly can't work, try persuasion!
Act professionally and the respect will follow.
This one is astonishingly bad.
If I were the teachers, I might request this be taken down because it much more likely to reverse opinion than build support.
This simple minded partisan dreck really does smack of utter contempt for democracy, the public and the kids.
It also really does crystallize why the NDP is completely unelectable every way over Sunday. They ONLY attract people, high on loyalty and ideology and low on talent or even intelligence. This is the type of guy they hire as a communication director and then when they lose an election spectacularly, the Cult is pretty sure it's 'negative ads' or that rotten Clark or something.
No Virginia, it really is people like Chris Macdonald or Jim Iker.
Suffice it to say real professionals don't strike (ie an industrial tactic from a bygone era) and if the teachers truly cared abut the kids, then they wouldn't treat them as if they were car frames that the boss is forced to pay to stow in warehouses in Wisconsin or something. The kids are only that age one time and one time only and you ONLY get that ONE shot.
BC teachers are utterly contemptible and act like garbage collectors and liquor store employees. No respect.
There's plenty of money available just we don't prioritize education at all. Has anybody seen the obscene amount of money spent on Criminal Justice for petty drug crimes and "Management of public funds and debt". Legions of highly paid technocrats, all cronies of the prime minister making assloads of pensions and benefits as a big dead weight on the economy.
Also, look at the school board. Do we even need it? Can retired teachers fill this role P/T with half the salary? Or working teachers during the end of the school year? Another tower of managers all sucking the system dry. What if we adopted a purely public health approach to narcotics and stopped blowing multi millions to jail these people. Better yet, what if the federal gov legalized them and we started to see the kinds of huge tax revenues Colorado is seeing. Do we need to spend $372 million per year on natural gas development just so we can give the majority of the money away to whatever conglomorate swoops in and starts fracking? Does the office of the premiere need $9 million dollars per year? Do we need to spend $83 million on "Aboriginal reconcilliation" when clearly this government is doing nothing on that front. Huge amounts of money spent on "Social innovation". Seriously, go through the BC Budget and wonder where all this money is being spent.
Also, teachers are going to get it even worse soon. Bill Gates is currently going around the world shilling his meritocracy based, stack ranking Microsoft education platform which every single employee of Microsoft has derided as exploitable and awful. Governments are swallowing this pill and it's coming to a public education system near you soon.
I'm worried about you. You really need to loosen your tie. Or go more than five days between buzzcuts.
I don't agree with all the demands, but I certainly don't hate teachers or demean what they do. The BCTF has scrapped with, and its teacher members have gone on strike against, Liberal, NDP and Socred governments over several decades. And, in spite of different political parties, the common denominator in all those fights and strikes is????
If I'm a hater of anything, it's of this insane perpetuation of failed negotiating tactics. For crying out loud, you're supposed to be an educated group of professionals...innovate already!!!

After confessing to many, suspected serial killer pleads to one
[Chicago, IL]
(CHICAGO) – A suspected serial killer has pleaded guilty to one count of murder while 12 others were dismissed.
Gregory Clepper remains a suspect in almost 30 unsolved deaths. Under his plea agreement, he could face new charges if DNA testing links him to the 12 he confessed to or 15 others but could not receive a death sentence.
Clepper admitted Tuesday that he strangled Patricia Scott in 1996. After receiving a tip linking him to the slaying, police found items belonging to the victim at his home.
During questioning, Clepper told investigators that he had killed as many as 40 women, giving specific details in some cases. But in at least one case, evidence turned up pointing to another killer, and prosecutors eventually decided that there was adequate evidence only in Scott's death.

St. Peter's Peacocks (5-25)
@Iona Gaels (24-6)
Sunday, February 26
Hynes Center
Attendance: 2,611
St. Peter's
New Rochelle, NY (Sports Network) - Lamont Jones scored a game-high 24 points as Iona easily handled Saint Peter's, 98-61, in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action at the Hynes Athletic Center.
Jermel Jenkins added 21 points off the bench for the Gaels (24-6, 15-3 MAAC), hitting on 7-of-13 shots behind the three-point line, while Mike Glover and Sean Armand both added 14 points as the team closed out the regular season with five straight wins and nine in the last 10 outings overall. Scott Machado came up a point shy of a double-double as he issued a game-high 12 assists, matching the entire total by the Peacocks (5-25, 4-14).
Saint Peter's was paced by Darius Conley who tallied 12 points, Yvon Raymond posted 11 off the bench and Lamin Fulton 10 points as the team suffered a seventh consecutive setback.
Both teams shot the ball well from the floor in the first half, the Peacocks hitting on 53.8 percent and Iona 57.7 percent, but thanks to a tremendous 9- of-18 effort behind the three-point line in the frame the Gaels were able to put up a 40-35 lead at the break.
The Gaels put together a spectacular 31-0 run in the second half, boosting their lead to 38 points and never looked back as they cruised to the lopsided home win. The hosts shot 60.5 percent from the floor after intermission and 6- of-15 on the perimeter.
Overall, Iona outscored the visitors from beyond the arc by 30 points and also forced Saint Peter's into 19 turnovers, which the Gaels traded in for 37 points.
The Gaels, already locked in as the top seed for the upcoming MAAC Tournament, get a bye through to the quarterfinal round of the event on Saturday and could again clash with the Peacocks who are the ninth seed and will contend against Marist on Friday night for the right to advance.

I recently bought a home that has alot of what appear to be cool season ornamental grasses. They stayed pretty much green all winter, but look a little shabby. Most of the tips of the blades are brown. Some of the blades are 100% brown. Spring's approaching and I want to rejuvinate them. Should I chop them off at the ground or just pull out the blades at the ground? Any suggestions? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
You can do either, or both. Try pulling out the shabby blades first, by using a pair of rubber-coated gloves, for gription. If they come out easily, and the clump looks better, you can let that suffice. If they're too far gone for that, trim them off to a couple of inches. They'll grow back a fresh flush of new foliage. It'll happen pretty quickly if they are indeed gool season grasses. If they're warm season grasses, they won't start growing back until later, but will still fill back in nicely. |

Moyes Out/Fergie Back (On A Short-Term Deal)?
Ninth place is unacceptable for the Champions and a stunning change could be about to take place. Manchester United is believed to have had a 'Plan B' up their sleeves ever since Sir Alex stepped down, just in case the club was unable to cope with his departure; and this is exactly the case at the moment.
Recent stories emerging from Old Trafford have revealed quite unbelievably that Sir Alex may be back in charge on a short-term basis very soon, if the Champions' recent form continues to be well below par.
Even though the board publicly backed manager Moyes a few weeks ago, since then their league form has dipped even further and now United are languishing down in ninth position; all but out of the title race and we haven't even begun the busy Christmas period yet.
Back to back home league defeats have piled the pressure onto Moyes, a pressure the Scotsman would have never experienced before. More and more critics are emerging, questioning his ability to manage a top club, and if sources are correct and United's form doesn't improve rapidly. Moyes could be looking for a new job in the next six weeks or so. This just proves how crucial this Christmas period is for both Moyes and United's future.
An uninspiring Christmas by United and the Premier League may well see its prodigal son, Sir Alex, returning on a short term basis to steady the ship, which we all know would happen were he to make this dramatic comeback. He seems to be a permanent fixture in the stands these days and it makes you wonder how much he misses being on the touchline. So did he leave United prematurely? Is he coping well with all his new found leisure time? Would he like one more crack at overtaking his league rivals? Surely the answer is yes…
If Fergie returns to United, which obviously many will struggle to even consider; we can expect the second half of the 2013/2014 season to be a memorable one, no matter what the outcome…

I just bought a taco about two weeks ago and I just took it thru the car wash. After the wash I decided to look the truck over and I noticed that the paint along the sides between the wheels toward the bottom looks 'textured' - I'm not sure how else to describe it. Is this normal? Just want to make sure the wash didn't mess up my truck.
Thanks in advance!

In an e-mail exchange with Town Manager Bruce St. Denis, Jaleski said he wants St. Denis to reduce consultant costs that rose from $1.7 million last year to $2.5 million in the current fiscal year.
"If we could curb this amount by half of 1%, we could place two additional police officers on staff to increase our already remarkable level of public peace-of-mind," Jaleski wrote in an e-mail to the town manager dated Aug. 28. "I believe that it has been shown that simply throwing money at the government is no substitute to intelligent and diligent cost controls."
St. Denis responded to Jaleski's concerns in an e-mail that same day, explaining that the recent increase in consultant activity "is related to additional work within the beach fund for the sand search, permitting for the upcoming beach project and a spike in utility work."
The money used for those consultant costs, St. Denis wrote, "cannot be diverted to the general fund for use unless the Town Commission makes a policy decision to take a profit or payment in lieu of taxes from the utility."
But Jaleski disagreed with St. Denis' assessment of consultant fees in an e-mail dated Sept. 1.
Jaleski wrote that although he is concerned about how the town spends money in the general fund, the money in each town account comes from tax dollars.
"When I asked if we might reduce the $2.5 million we spend on consultants, I was seeking to lower taxes across the board," Jaleski wrote. "I thought our workshop (which was held Thursday, Aug. 27) was about the town budget and how we might reduce the cost of government, everywhere."
The commission will discuss the budget for a first reading and public hearing at its Monday, Sept. 14 regular meeting.

- The consultants, any way one looks at it, are paid with tax dollars. All St. Dennis is doing with his gobbledegook answer is playing the three card monte with the taxpayers.
