As previously mentioned, shortly after taking Ed Liddy's job off his hands, new AIG head Robert Benmosche popped over to his Croatian villa for a little vacay. When could we expect Bobby back at the office some people wanted to know? Soon-ish! September 7th to be exact, as it'd be pretty ridiculous to come in right before Labor Day Weekend, when everyone is totally checked out anyway. Furthermore, he doesn't actually need to be in the office to get shit done, Benmosche told Reuters yesterday in an interview from his home overlooking the Adriatic. He also discussed some other stuff (namely tips for chick slaying), which we'll get into presently.
On working hard for the money, wherever, whenever:
"People criticise me for being on vacation. I actually started work a week before I was actually supposed to," he said. "I do have conference calls every day, I have all my information sent here. I can work here as well as in the office in New York."
On keeping him happy by making it rain, as he has offers of golden showers from a million other institutions coming out the ass:
The new AIG CEO is being paid more than his predecessor, Ed Liddy, who made just $1 a year. AIG said it will pay Benmosche $3 million in cash and $4 million in fully-vested stock. He also could receive a bonus valued as high as $3.5 million.
"It's the bottom end of a competitive range," he said, adding that he earned more previously and would be judged ultimately on his performance. "You still need to pay people competitively."
On not being afraid anymore:
"We have the ability. I know that I am telling people we are allowed to," he said. "What I don't know is if people (employees) are willing to. A lot of them feel hurt, embarrassed, a lot of people have lived in fear because of what I call lynch mobs with pitchforks."
And most importantly, on his bathrooms, and the bitches who love them:
He makes no apologies for his passion for Croatia, including his palatial villa with 12 bathrooms and his vineyards on the Peljesac Peninsula about a two hours drive north of Dubrovnik. Benmosche has no previous family links to Croatia; his ancestors hail from Lithuania and Poland. The room had an oversize wall-to-wall mirror, Jacuzzi, large glass-enclosed shower and plenty of natural light.
"Every bathroom is like a piece of art," he said while showing off his master bathroom with his wife Denise. "Women go wild when they walk in here."

If he is still with his wife Denise, why does he own a pad with Lisa Weber in Florida.
C'mon Bess nobody gives a sh$t about the dudes toilet…why the EFF is the stock up 100% in 2 days? Don't make me go to Yahoo!
@2 seriously? is this your first time on DB? do you actually think Bess would ever write about why the EFF stock is up 100% in 2 days. moron.
@2 You seem to be confused as to what it is I do here.
Stanford University and wealthy alums are big on comfortable bathrooms for special people, too. Really, if you turn out the lights it smells just the same, no?

how do you think I slay so many chicks? my good looks and charm? it's the toilets.
"Every bathroom is like a piece of art," he said while showing off his master bathroom with his wife Denise. "Women go wild when they walk in here."
There is a great joke about how a natural gas trader makes his wife go wild. Bedroom curtains are a key part of the joke. The occupation of the trader can be changed to fit the circumstances.

I wonder what would happen if some MD told that to lloyd? separately but related: I wonder when his options will get priced? given the run in aig's stock since he "started", "gentle ben" qualifies to use the line "I don't make money, I print it!"…will the pay czar feel some heat for that one? -
A drunk, fomer bank employee chick staggered into a Catholic church and sat down in a confession box, saying nothing.
The bewildered priest coughed to attract his attention, but still the man said nothing.
The priest then knocked on the wall three times in a final attempt to get the man to speak.
Finally, the drunk ex-banker chick replied, "No use knocking, friend, there's no paper in this one either." -
whatever, quantity over quality.
@17…excellent joke but when you are cutting and pasting, double check the genders!
All you need is a bridge game and your blackberry. What could go wrong? -
@20…@17 here….Yes…I got rid of the part of me that did that! Laid off those brain cells with beer.
I just had a great idea for a work of art thanks to @14's idea of "art and shitters" !!

Hi, hope everyone had a really nice Christmas. Some had a really white Christmas, we could see the white stuff on the mountains north of us, and our weather was really chilly so it made it feel like Christmas.
We had a really nice time with DS and his family. Lots of good food, music, and playing games on the WII--should I mention the sore muscles the next day? That thing can really be a workout! Also played allot with little GD and her new toys! She got a new big dollhouse, and when I was telling her how much I liked it and that I would have loved one like that when I was a little girl, she said "Gramma, you can have my old one." Guess she thought I still wanted one. LOL I had asked for a new Laurie Speltz cd that I'd seen on Artists Club. DIL got it and a packet of the stencils for me. It's okay, but not exciting at all, very basic beginner stuff. I was a bit disappointed in it, but maybe will like it better when I actually use it on a project. So how did things go? Lots of food? Good company? Lots of laughter? Sure hope so. Come tell me all about it. Luvs |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hey....sorry I've been MIA.....people keep calling and coming by and now I'm sick....just a little trifling cold I think, but it's kicking my toosh. Had to go back and comment on last weeks since I missed some stuff. Luvs....congrats on the retirement raise!! More craft supplies....just what you need, right. ha Diana~ glad you got to check in. We did a smaller Christmas than usual this year too and nobody seemed to mind. I saw a little nativity in one of my books the other day too and thought I'd like to paint it for next year. ha Now if I can only find it again when I get ready to cut it out. ha Hope you'll come and share them here when you get yours done! Belle~ where did you get off to? Hope you had a good holiday. Come and tell us all about it. And of course anyone else who wants to stop in and chat. Oh, forgot to tell you what I got. DH surprised me with and electronic book.....the ones where you can download over 100 books onto it, but it's small enough to fit in your purse! Very perfect gift for me and the movie that I wanted. Luvs~ maybe you can use the stencils to add a little something to the backs or sides to some of your painted pieces to finish them off??? Too bad it wasn't what you were expecting. That was a cute GD story. :) Maybe she can bring her old house to your house to have when she comes over??? We have plenty of snow if anybody would like some! Has been snowing every day on and off. Skipped today, but it's starting up again tonight. Glad I don't have anywhere to go for a few days! ha Well, I took some meds and my nose has finally stopped running. ha TMI sorry. I was hoping to get some painting in, but it's hard to do when you are going thru tissues every few minutes. I found a pair of wooden ice skates in the attic clean out that I am looking for a good pattern for. I'll have to settle for browsing my mags. Our friend still hasn't sent a pic of the box, but hoping when things settle down he'll remember. Ya'll have a good night. ~Anj |

Good morning. We had a beautiful day yesterday, warm enough to be outside in just a sweatshirt with lots of nice warm sunshine again. I sort of enjoyed the cooler, grey days for a bit--made it seem more like the Christmases I grew up with-- minus the snow! Was nice having snow on the mountains to look at too. I'm so glad you had a nice Christmas. I have to say the electronic games sure provide great entertainment for a group. Our DS had asked forthe game "quitar hero" for his xbox, and then entertained us with a demonstration. Even DIL was up there giving him some competition! LOL Then we started playing bowling on his WII and then did that darn boxing one! I'm not kidding, that one nearly wiped me out! I was breathing so hard and then even had sore muscles in my forearms and lower back the next day! Whew! Maybe I'm too old for this stuff--or at least too outa shape! LOL You must have the patience of a saint! You handled all the Christmas preparations and having the insulation installed all so well--I'd have been a grumpy old witch! I just can't imagine how you do so much and function so well on so little sleep! You are my hero! ;o) Well, I keep thinking about your chicken and dumplings, so think I will have to make a batch this week. Good winter weather food and oh so yummy too. I saw turkeys on sale at the store and almost bought one. May go back and get one, I can always freeze some of it and I like having it for sandwiches, casseroles and soup. I've still got a few Christmas patterns I'd like to paint, and I saw some painted spoons that I might try again since DH had some cheapy spoons he used to carry in his work bag and I might as well do something with them. I'm also wanting to paint some candy and cupcakes, thinking about using them on a little kitchen tree next year. If I get a few things cut out, I can paint some while we are on our motor home trip the month of January. I like to take things along to work on during the evenings. Since we are leaving on our trip soon, I'm going to go ahead and take down our decorations early. I usually wait until after the 1st, but won't this year. Like to have the house all in order when we leave so I won't have lots to do when we get back! LOL We won't leave until the 7th, but I'm slow and will be busy shopping and packing for the trip. I'd better get busy, will be back later. Hope Belle and Phonegirl both come by with news about their Christmas too. Luvs |
Hello Again.......What a "Whirl Wind" for this "Peace and Quiet" person! It sounds like all of you had a Merry Christmas! So glad! I actually baked cookies this year. If you know me, you know that I don't bake anything! I always get side tracked and burn everything! Not this year! Made 5 new recipes as well as good old sugar cookies and everyone came out golden brown. Maybe it was just my old oven? Ya Think? NAH!!!!!!! Got all of the things to bake a bunt cake and a German chocolate cake - then found out I have to buy new pans as well! AH! Next year! Besides my new found 5 pounds is enough! As we were snow bound, Christmas Eve at the Grands was limited to one family as our son & his family live next door. After the gift exchange, we played lots of games, ate lots of bad stuff and just plain had a great time. Christmas Day started with more snow and our DD and family followed the snow plow over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house and another day of good food, games and just plain good family time! DS and family came back and the seams of the house bulged! The kids ended up playing Pictionary and the big kids played Texas Hold-Um (sp) until much to late. My DDIL and DS went painting book hunting and found over a dozen used books for me for Christmas. So my library is growing. They also found 4 pre-stamped signs with posts. Two are Chrstmas, one is Easter and one Halloween. My DD gift included a new set of 12 paint brushes, a sta-wet tray and 6 "new" colors of paint. All nice additions! DH and I pooled our gift to each other and purchased an air nailer/stapler. Something we both can use. The weather here has been so "not nice!" We have about 18" of snow and enough is enough. It has been raining of and on for two days and still to much snow! We lost power for almost two days but thank goodness we have a generator, so we kept warm and had power for the frig and freezer. I tried to bring some greenery inside this year and had to take it back out after a couple of days..Asthma hit pretty hard...so I have been doing nothing! Our new kitty now has to sleep in his bed in the guest room and neither of us like that! If he would stay at the foot of our bed he would be OK, but he insists on sleeping on my pillow with me - not OK! Wow! didn't mean to write a book! Happy New Year to Everyone! Belle |
Hey ya'll.... what's up?? I had to take DD to her dental appt and then run by Wally's to pick up some more meds for myself. I've been trying to paint a little as I can while I'm just sitting around. Finished up my coasters and one other thing, but the wind picked up and I don't want to go out in it to put the spray sealer on so haven't taken pics yet. Think my fever is coming back cause I'm feeling chilled. Plus the wind would probably blow something onto them anyway. Working on my glass block next. Belle~ glad you had a few good Christmasy days with your family. Boy, everyone got new painting supplies this year but me it sounds like. Bummer. I've been picking up things at sales and TS all year though. Luvs~ didn't know you were planning another trip so soon. Where are we off to this time? Better get back to painting. I'm slower than usual with the meds making me drowsy. ~Anj |

Belle, congrats on all the great painting stuff! That was very thoughtful of your family. Glad they were able to come for the holidays in spite of all the snow too. I'm so glad to hear you have your own generator so no power worries. Anj, I haven't made my chicken and dumplins yet. DH and I have gone out to eat quite a bit lately--not really sure why because we usually don't do that very often, but I'm not complaining. We celebrated our 43rd anniversary on the 29th and went out to a steak place for dinner. Doesn't seem possible we've been married that long, and we actually dated a couple years before too, so we've been together for quite some time! Now I'm hoping we will get to make it to our 50th together--I always thought that was such a long time when I heard about other people celebrating a 50th. LOL We head out on the 7th for the computer/electronics show in Vegas, then to Laughlin to visit some friends who used to be our neighbors, then to Lake Havasu to visit an old friend I used to work with. After that we are heading to Phoenix where I will get to meet Karen aka Purplemoon. I'm excited to get to meet her face to face. Then we are heading back this way and stopping off at Quartsite out in the desert to dry camp a few days with the group from the RV forum. We didn't go there last year, but we had gone the two prior years. It is quite a site out there--it's all Bureau of Land Management land covered in acres and acres of motorhomes! All the snowbirds from other states come there for the winter and there's a big RV show and all kinds of booths set up selling everything you can think of. Should be a fun trip, and good for January when things always seem sort of blah after the holidays. I need to get some projects lined up and the wood cutout for them so I have things to take along--I like to sit and paint while DH watches tv in the evenings, or if I have to wait for him to get back from somewhere. I'll have my computer along, so will keep in touch. Luvs |
I remember your going a few years ago to the big RV camp. That was the year your computer was sooooo slow. ha Hope you get to reconnect with some old friends. So excited that you get to meet Karen. She seems like a fun person from her posts. You'll have to let me know how it goes. =) And hope it's nice and warm for you in Phoenix! Sounds like a nice long trip. Hope you'll have good weather and good roads and have a relaxing time. And don't forget to hit a few TS's while you're out and about. ha I'm getting antsy to go to the one by my house even though I don't need to. Happy Anniversary! Any excuse to eat out is a good excuse in my book. ha I hope my DH and I can make it that long. We will celebrate our 17th in May. We also dated a few years before we married so we've been together closer to 20. Well, Happy New Year to everyone. We had a movie marathon with the kids and had some good eats. It was fun. My friend just sent over the pic of the box I gave them for Christmas so I wanted to post it real quick. I took a Dayquil instead of a Nyquil earlier and I think it's keeping me awake. It's almost 2am. Think I'll go lay on the couch and watch A Christmas Carol one more time. I'll probably doze off. See ya'll tomorrow....or should I say later today. ha ~Anj |

Anj, my sweet neighbor and her cousin go to Henderson and Vegas once a year to hit the TS and have some girl time together. They just got back from a trip a few weeks ago and she brought me the page out of a phone book for all the TS! I laughed so hard. She's been telling me that they find really good stuff there and that I have to make time to hit a few when we go! I'm doing late lunch/early dinner today, so I need to get off here and get some stuff done. Your movie marathon sounded good. DH and watched part of the Twilight Zone marathon that was on--not very inspiring, but it was fun. And we watched the ball drop in New York on television. I told him he could have a New Year's kiss for each time zone! LOL You all have a good day. I'll be back tonight. Luvs |
Great minds think alike!! ha Funny that they brought you back the phonebook page. ha Did she mark all the good ones for you? We watched the ball drop too! The kids were all awake to count down with us this year. It was fun and glad we could all be together for it. So what are your NY resolutions?? I have a few.... Well, I got on here to see if I can figure out my electronic reader and download some books. I've got to work on organizing my office again tomorrow. With all the whirlwind of crafting before Christmas it's a hot mess! ha Can't get anything done with stuff piled everywhere. Have a good night! ~Anj |
Good Morning! Didn't watch the New Year arrive....our dogs informed us of that when all of the fire works went off. More snow has arrived along with high winds, but spring is getting closer everyday! Haven't painted in several days, but have a Santa to do, a copy of one I did in Nov., and DH sold before I could get pictures. Actually, I didn't think about pictures, but it is more fun to blame him. Anj., what a fantastic idea, to do something new... to challenge yourself. Maybe I'll try the skydiving...NOT! The only time I want my two feet off the ground at the same time is when I'm in bed. Luv., sounds like you are heading for a good time. Getting away is always good. Time to paint and read and not as much housework! It sounds like you and I are about the same age. Was married in Feb. of 63...sure doesn't seem that long ago, but then I look in the mirror. And like you I remember when it was a really big deal if you were alive to see your 50th Anniv., now it not being alive, it's still being married. It is snowing again, enough! We did have several days of rain so there isn't as much on the ground but it really ruined several of my trees and bushes. Still hope they will stand tall again. Ya All have a good day and stay safe... Belle |

Hi Belle, I forgot where it is that you live? You sure are getting lots of snow, are you in the Pacific Northwest by any chance? Good that you have a hobby like painting to keep busy with when you can't get out because of the weather. That and the computer and television and you don't have to worry about "cabin fever" anymore, right? Anj, I used to always resolve to lose weight--now I've changed it to "trying to eat more healthy". Really a struggle for those of us who grew up on lots of fried foods and gravy! And give me a choice of a salad or hamburger and fries--and taste wins over health! LOL My main goal is to clear out some of the things we no longer use. I've got clothes from my work days in the closet that haven't been worn in three years now--time to get them out of there. And I'm going to try to look at "things" and if I don't love it or NEED it, it needs to go bye bye. (Got to make room for "treasures" I find thrifting, right?) LOL You are right on with your resolve to "live more in the present", there's a saying that "life is what happens to us while we are planning our future." Don't let it be that way, all of the moments are treasures that we can never have again. I'm also going to vow to try to do more painting. I have no good excuse not to, I just procrastinate too much. I should work on some gift items to have on hand, my stash is pretty much depleted now. Well, my coffee cup is empty so I'd better get moving and try to accomplish something around here. All my inside Christmas is packed away already, and we will un-decorate the outside this week. Trying to get it all done before we leave on the trip. You ladies have a good day, and we'll chat more later. Luvs |

Al Sharpton: Keeping It Real With Black Unity
I have never listened to this radio show before but I was driving my grandparents on a road trip. They wanted to hear some gospel music. However, the station was airing Al Sharpton's Keeping It Real show. I know many people have their own opinions of Al Sharpton. However, he really made a point on the topic of Black Unity. Not unity in the simplistic sense of the word, but unity in the sense of coming together despite a plethora of differences among us. Sharpton noted (and I agree) that many times, we have our own set of beliefs about Black life and varying methods towards gaining Black freedom. Essentially, we work in sets. We have the Muslim set, the old school Civil Rights set, the Black Radical set, the Pan African set, the feminist set, the Capitalist set, and etc.
Nothing is wrong with us having varying opinions. The problem comes in when we bicker amongst each other over petty judgmental differences. For example, group A may think that group B is too radical and will refuse to associate themselves with the group B. On the other hand, group B will refuse to associate themselves with Group A because they feel that group A is not Black enough. What usually happens is that both groups continue to argue, and thereby continue to hinder any real progress in the Black community. Sharpton noted that in reality, we all need each other and need to listen to one another. No one group is better than others. We have to realize that there are different constituencies among us. They all deserve respect and they all must work together. In the end, our common goal is the elevation of Black people. This is important. We can't get anywhere if we don't realize this. The Christians can not go anywhere without the Muslims and vice versa. The Socialists can not go anywhere without the Capitalists and vice versa. The Black Nationalists can not go anywhere with out the Black Feminists and vice versa.
We can not continue to cut ourselves off from each other because of varying ideologies. In the end, if those ideologies do not incorporate an all inclusive sense of Black unity then they will never succeed. If we say we want freedom for Black people. It should be freedom for Black People. ALL BLACK PEOPLE. Not just the type of Black people we agree with. We can not lock in our perspective of what is acceptable Blackness. When I say I love black people, it is not just something I say to sound good. I love Black people without any restrictions or requirements. I Love Black People. Point blank period. I love Black people because they are me and I am them and we are us. Christian, Muslim, Gay, Straight, Black, African, African American, African descended, Afro-Latino, West Indian, Socialist, Capitalist, Conservative, Liberal, and the list goes on and on. Loving Black people is a life long process and a journey of dedication.
No we are not monolithic, but yes are one and we are a billion strong. The truth is that separately, none of us have the answer. I don't care how many books you've read or written. I don't care what school you went to or how high you've climbed the academic mountain. I don't care how spiritual or African you can be. Your perception alone is not enough. Separately, non of us have the answer to our liberation. Yet, together, no one knows what we can accomplish. No one is afraid of us when we are fighting but when we stand together the world gets quite and there is a hush. There is a fear of our unity. This is why there are so many mechanisms put in place to keep us at each other's necks. And we keep falling for it time and time again.
I'm not saying that we should never disagree with one another. In fact I encourage loving informative debate, because it increases growth. While at the same time, we should recognize that there are common goals at hand. Thus, we need to find a way to incorporate understanding and balance, and push pride to the side. Too often our pride prevents us from admitting our faults and listening to others. We all have something important to say. All of our perspectives are valid. In order to succeed, we have to work from love, using love as the key to our unity and our liberation. However, we must remember that love endures all things, not just the things that we like.

White House moves away from 2011 Afghanistan withdrawal timeline
The Obama administration is walking away from what it once touted as key deadlines in the Afghanistan war in an effort to de-emphasize the president's pledge that he would begin withdrawing U.S. forces in July 2011.

Charges dropped: The Afghan government has dropped all charges in the controversial corruption case against an aide to President Hamid Karzai. The arrest in late July of the aide, Mohammed Zia Salehi, by U.S.-backed corruption investigators was an embarrassment, first because of the president's decision to intervene publicly to have Salehi released from prison, and then because of revelations that Salehi also had been on the payroll of the Central Intelligence Agency.Canada staying: Canada will keep 900 to 950 troops in Afghanistan in a noncombat training role after Canada's combat mission ends in 2011, a senior government official said Monday. They would remain in Afghanistan until no later than 2014. Canada has about 3,000 troops in Afghanistan. More than 150 Canadian soldiers have been killed and more than 1,500 have been wounded.
Iraq extension weighed: Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Tuesday the U.S. is open to the idea of keeping troops in Iraq past the current agreement, under which U.S. troops must leave by the end of 2011. Any request to extend the U.S. military presence in Iraq would have to come from a functioning Iraqi government, but the parliament has been squabbling since the March 7 election.
Seattle Times news services
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has decided to walk away from what it once touted as key deadlines in the Afghanistan war in an effort to de-emphasize the president's pledge that he would begin withdrawing U.S. forces in July 2011, administration and military officials said Tuesday.
The new policy will be on display next week during a NATO conference in Lisbon, Portugal, where the administration hopes to introduce a timeline that calls for the withdrawal of U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan by 2014, according to three senior officials and others speaking anonymously as a matter of policy. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said Afghan troops could provide their security by then.
The Pentagon also has decided not to announce specific dates for handing security responsibility for several Afghan provinces to local officials and instead intends to work out a more vague definition of transition when it meets with its NATO allies, the officials said.
What a year ago had been touted as an extensive December review of the strategy now will be less expansive and will offer no major changes in strategy, the officials said. U.S. Central Command, the military division that oversees Afghanistan operations, hasn't submitted a withdrawal order for forces for the July deadline, two of those officials said.
The shift, begun privately, came in part because U.S. officials realized that conditions in Afghanistan were unlikely to allow a speedy withdrawal.
"During our assessments, we looked at if we continue to move forward at this pace, how long before we can fully transition to the Afghans? Of course, we are not going to fully transition to the Afghans by July 2011," one senior administration official said. "Right now, we think we can start in 2011 and fully transition sometime in 2014."
Another official said the administration also realized in contacts with Pakistani officials that the Pakistanis had concluded wrongly that July 2011 would mark the beginning of the end of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan.
That perception, one Pentagon adviser said, has persuaded Pakistan's military — key to preventing Taliban sympathizers from infiltrating Afghanistan — to continue to press for a political settlement instead of military action.
"This administration now understands that it cannot shift Pakistani approaches to safeguarding its interests in Afghanistan with this date being perceived as a walkaway date," the adviser said.
The midterm elections have eased pressure on the Obama administration to begin an early withdrawal. Some congressional Democrats this year pressed to cut off funding for Afghanistan operations. With Republicans in control of the House beginning in January, however, there will be less push for a drawdown. The incoming House Armed Services chairman, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon, R-Calif., told Reuters last week that he opposed setting the date.
On Tuesday, a White House official said the administration might withdraw some troops in July and may hand some communities over to Afghan authorities. But he said a withdrawal from Afghanistan could take "years," depending on the capability of the Afghan national security forces.
He also said the December review would measure progress in eight areas, although he declined to specify what those are. Congress will receive a report by early next year, but Army Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S.-led international forces in Afghanistan, will not testify.
"This is designed to be an inside-the-administration perspective," the White House official said, adding it will "set the policymaking calendar" for the Obama administration's first six months of next year.
De-emphasizing deadlines also allows the administration greater flexibility in responding to conditions in Afghanistan, officials said.
While the Taliban are facing increasing coalition airstrikes, they have no driving incentive to negotiate with an unpopular government. U.S. officials quietly worry that while they, too, are seeing some drops in violence and the Taliban's hold in pockets of Afghanistan, those limited improvements aren't leading to better governance.
A U.N. report issued in August showed that civilian casualties rose 31 percent during the first half of the year compared with the previous year; 76 percent were caused by the Taliban, it said. More than 400 U.S. troops have been killed this year.
Christopher Preble, director for foreign-policy studies at the libertarian Cato Institute, said he's not surprised that the scope of the December review has narrowed and that Obama administration officials no longer are highlighting the July 2011 date.
"The very players who were arguing so strenuously for a deepening of our involvement in Afghanistan a year ago are unlikely to now declare that their earlier recommendations were faulty," he said.

If ever I needed to channel Paul Harvey, now is the time. Since SB 1070, I don't think I have ever witnessed more false statements, misunderstandings and outright lies than I have with the school lunch opt-out bill. So with great respect for a radio legend, here is the rest of the story...
Approximately six years ago, a large nutrition bill worked its way through the Legislature. For some reason at that time, someone decided to make school lunch participation mandatory for K-8 district grades, instead of voluntary like it had been for the past 55 years. I say for some reason because all K-8 district grades over 100 kids were already participating in the program. High schools and charter schools were exempted from the new mandate. An interesting point to note, on April 20, 2005 when the bill came up for a final vote in the House, almost every Democrat and the most conservative Republicans voted no. They didn't see why a new mandate was necessary. The bill only passed with four votes to spare 34-26.
Fast forward to today. The USDA updates its school lunch rules approximately every 14-15 years. This year (2012) happens to be the year that the rules are undergoing a complete overhaul. The new rules cover everything from what has to be served, what portion sizes are allowed, how much schools have to charge kids, how often schools are audited, etc. As quoted in the paper on Saturday, Loretta Zullo, Mesa's School Foodservice Director said she is "anxiously" awaiting the final approved changes to the program, which would increase the required number of fruits, vegetables and whole grain products served, as well as change how districts can calculate how much they charge. Under the first proposals put out, Zullo said it could have resulted in a lot of increased cost for the district, but she anticipated Mesa could weather it. "It's a complicated formula," she said of the proposed way districts must charge for meals. "Districts may have to supplement (meal prices) from the general fund. Districts are not going to want to do that. They do not have the money to do that."
In anticipation of all the new rules being rolled out in 2012, I felt it would be a good idea to go back to the law Arizona districts used to follow six years ago. Besides, 41 other states let districts choose whether or not to participate in the national school lunch program. Only nine mandate it, including Arizona. Contrary to what has been reported, I am not anti-fresh fruit, anti-nutritious meals, or anti-low income children. I simply want schools to have flexibility to tackle their challenges in the best way they see fit. This is why the Arizona School Boards Association supports the bill. I firmly believe not a single child will go hungry as a result of this bill. Why else would 41 other states not feel compelled to force their districts to participate in the federal school lunch program? And why were all schools participating before the law was changed six years ago? This mandate is unnecessary.
SB 1061 is a simple one word change - "shall" to "may". Nothing more, nothing less.
Supporters of SB 1061 and Opponents to the bill basically disagree on one major point - can local communities and constituents be trusted to take care of the children in their charge? I firmly fall on the side of local control, freedom, and self-governance. The loudest opponents to SB 1061 claim that only through mandates can people be trusted to do what is in the best interest of children. I sure hope this is not the direction we are headed as a country.
With regards to a conflict of interest, I do own a company that works in the school nutrition area. State governments hire my company to audit menus and conduct on-site audits. I do not do any reviews or audits in Arizona. I stand to gain absolutely nothing from this bill passing. And no, contrary to what a few blogs have reported, I do not provide food to Arizona schools. As Senate Education Chair I am simply trying to eliminate a mandate in state statute that takes away a local community's right to choose what is best for their children.
In conclusion, nothing is worse than a slow erosion of liberty because we never see it coming. And as Paul Harvey would say, "now you know the rest of the story!"
Sen. Rich Crandall, R-Mesa, represents District 19 at the Arizona Legislature.

Good News Translation (GNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 This is the Lord's message to Joel son of Pethuel. | 1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel. |
2 Pay attention, you older people; everyone in Judah, listen. Has anything like this ever happened in your time or the time of your ancestors? | 2 Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your forefathers? |
3 Tell your children about it; they will tell their children, who in turn will tell the next generation. | 3 Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation. |
4 Swarm after swarm of locusts settled on the crops; what one swarm left, the next swarm devoured. | 4 What the locust swarm has left the great locusts have eaten; what the great locusts have left the young locusts have eaten; what the young locusts have left other locusts have eaten. |
5 Wake up and weep, you drunkards; cry, you wine-drinkers; the grapes for making new wine have been destroyed. | 5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine; wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips. |
6 An army of locusts has attacked our land; they are powerful and too many to count; their teeth are as sharp as those of a lion. | 6 A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness. |
7 They have destroyed our grapevines and chewed up our fig trees. They have stripped off the bark, till the branches are white. | 7 It has laid waste my vines and ruined my fig trees. It has stripped off their bark and thrown it away, leaving their branches white. |
8 Cry, you people, like a young woman who mourns the death of the man she was going to marry. | 8 Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the husband of her youth. |
9 There is no grain or wine to offer in the Temple; the priests mourn because they have no offerings for the Lord. | 9 Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD. |
10 The fields are bare; the ground mourns because the grain is destroyed, the grapes are dried up, and the olive trees are withered. | 10 The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil fails. |
11 Grieve, you farmers; cry, you that take care of the vineyards, because the wheat, the barley, yes all the crops are destroyed. | 11 Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed. |
12 The grapevines and fig trees have withered; all the fruit trees have wilted and died. The joy of the people is gone. | 12 The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree-- all the trees of the field--are dried up. Surely the joy of mankind is withered away. |
13 Put on sackcloth and weep, you priests who serve at the altar! Go into the Temple and mourn all night! There is no grain or wine to offer your God. | 13 Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. |
14 Give orders for a fast; call an assembly! Gather the leaders and all the people of Judah into the Temple of the Lord your God and cry out to him! | 14 Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD. |
15 The day of the Lord is near, the day when the Almighty brings destruction. What terror that day will bring! | 15 Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. |
16 We look on helpless as our crops are destroyed. There is no joy in the Temple of our God. | 16 Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes-- joy and gladness from the house of our God? |
17 The seeds die in the dry earth. There is no grain to be stored, and so the empty granaries are in ruins. | 17 The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up. |
18 The cattle are bellowing in distress because there is no pasture for them; the flocks of sheep also suffer. | 18 How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering. |
19 I cry out to you, Lord, because the pastures and trees are dried up, as though a fire had burned them. | 19 To you, O LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the open pastures and flames have burned up all the trees of the field. |
20 Even the wild animals cry out to you because the streams have become dry. | 20 Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the open pastures. |

To refine the rest of the body, hair-removal experts leave skin smooth with meticulous body-waxing services. Complimentary red wine or soft drinks accompany each lavish appointment.
Luxe Salon and Spa restores a healthy, relaxed glow to skin, nails, and hair. Custom facial treatments address each client?s specific skin tone and imbalances, and manicures polish nails after preventing overgrown cuticles by lining the lower base of the nail with mini sandbags. A team of talented stylists shapes hair and paints new ?dos with balayage-style highlights, which grow out to complement a head?s natural shade. The spa?s signature services include massages and body wraps, which relax the body more than submerging oneself in a dunk tank full of warm milk.
Over the last 10 years, Skin Essentials Med Spa & Hair Salon owner Kelly Davis has prettified more than 2,000 faces with the SofTap permanent-makeup technique. She sidesteps the racket and pain of traditional tattoo-machine methods to gently apply the pigment with a hand tool, giving her absolute control to craft a subtle lip shape or a seductively arched brow. Guests can find similar attention to detail in the spa's repertoire of other beautifying services, from simple mani-pedis to advanced exfoliation peels that obscure signs of aging. Those looking to amp up their aesthetic moxie can enlist in a variety of services such as weight loss treatments, spray tanning, lash extensions, and Lipo Plex. Injections of Botox or Restylane keep skin surfaces as smooth as a pancake, and full-body scrubs and masks treat the whole physique to ensure that even your Achilles' heel embodies a beauty that belies its vulnerability.
A mom-and-pop-shop transplant from New York, Pizza King infuses its East Coast pies with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients taken from 40 years of familial recipe know-how. Small 9-inch pizzas ($5) satisfy diminutive cravings, but the monstrous 30-inch pie ($30) feeds whole block parties and was once used to blanket the entirety of Manhattan as part of Rudy Giuliani's One City, One Pizza campaign. For an additional cost ($0.50–$4), taste DJs can spin their own mixings by choosing from a plethora of pizza toppings, such as meatballs, jalapeños, and olives. Specialty pizzas come capped with a variety of meat hats, including chicken wings ($12–$15), and The Legend pie fuses pepperoni, sausage, ham, beef, and bacon with onions, green peppers, mushrooms, and black olives to produce an omnivoric lovechild ($14–$18). Customers indifferent to pies can avail themselves of the nondiscus options adorning Pizza King's menu, such as calzones ($5+), stromboli ($5+), salads ($5+), wings ($6–$7), and garlic knots ($3).
Anchors, bunny rabbits, and snowflakes. Anything you can dream up, the nail technician at You Got Nailed can paint onto nails. After filing and buffing nails, her steady hands and creativity transform plain keratin sheets into pops of color that showcase your personality. And if a monochromatic hue is your desire, the technician covers nails with regular or a durable Shellac polish that protects against chips for up to two weeks. She can also easily hide overly bitten or otherwise unsightly fingernails with a full set of artificial nails or finger puppets.

Marking the beginning of their concert season, the College of the Canyons Studio Jazz Ensemble and Lab Bands will perform their spring JAZZ IT! concert on Friday, March 21, 2013 at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center (PAC).
The award-winning ensemble will perform music representing various styles of jazz including, swing, shuffle, ballads and jazz rock as well as jazz arrangements by Dirk Fischer.
"This is our last concert before the Studio Big Band attends the Annual Reno Jazz Festival in April," said KC Manji, the college's music director. "The band competed at the Reno Jazz Festival in 2007 and we won first place in our division. It was a great experience to hear all of the other bands from middle schools to major four-year colleges. It was an inspiring experience for everyone and we can hardly wait to go again."
Raffle tickets will also be sold the night of the concert for the grand prize of a two-hour performance by the jazz band at the winner's special event of his or her choice. The grand prize will be raffled during the concert.
All raffle ticket proceeds will go towards covering transportation costs for the band's trip to this year's Annual Reno Jazz Festival.
The JAZZ IT! concert will take place at 7:30 p.m.
General admission tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for COC students and senior citizens.
For more information about the COC music department's JAZZ IT! concert or to purchase tickets, please contact the PAC Box Office at (661) 362-5304 or visit www.canyonsPAC.com.

Sean Hannity interviews Marco Rubio regarding Mitt Romney's debate performance.
The Moderator performed well. At least he was not "In the Tank" for Obama as virtually all of the DemoNaziCommie Redstream Media has been. But now, the Ratings of the Alphabet Soup DemoNaziCommie Media will fall like a rocket on a straight down trajectory. And rightly so, the Idiot In Chief that they created, watered, fawned over has been exposed, not a a "King without Cloths", but an "Empty Suit without a President in it", only a spoiled actor, of total deceit, with no real political experience and not much clout for a brain.

The University of Wisconsin Madison Police Department posted an article this week about safety tips on campus and, of course, people are manufacturing reasons to get mad about it.
I really do mean manufacturing. These are really simple and effective safety tips that are not aimed specifically at women or the issue of campus rape. The only offensive thing about the article was the original title, "Shedding the Victim Persona: Staying Safe On Campus." Once it was brought to the UWPD's attention that "victim persona" unduly puts blame on victims for the crimes committed against them, they changed the title (albeit not the URL) to "Tools You Can Use: Staying Safe On Campus." Voilà. They did their part to correct bad language. When contacted about the article, they stood by it as useful information for everyone. Keep reading »

I think the most telling
I think the most telling thing is that he couldnt go down on to the floor while it was happening and say that. Had he done that, he would have possibly been tossed out of the room because of how absurd a position it would have been to take.

Feinstein says
I agree with Holder we will only use drones on Americans in extraordinary circumstances like 9/11 and pearl harbor. Wasn't it the Japanese in pearl harbor and the Saudis on 9/11. Neither are Americans last I checked? Please correct me. Also would we really use drones to shoot down jet liners and a Japanese death squad. I thought we were talking about drone use against people on the ground in a cafe. These people really think we are stupid. I guess my mom should have fed me more aspartame.

Did this senator, under AG influence, make a Freudian slip? Aside from that, the two 'republican' senators and that democratic dynamo from Illinois, all demeaning Rand's 14 hour lesson in liberty are totally lost in a past that will never see the light of reality again. I am totally glad those two former military members never made general! They are after all, in light of their pontifications, pompous fear mongers.

what I think is ridiculous, Lindsey? That stupid poster you had on the Senate floor today--the one that stated that 2900+ Americans were killed by Al-Qaeda...while 0 Americans were killed by drones (on the homeland--God, I hate that word).
Aren't drones-on-homeland soil supposedly a brand-new thing? If so, that number should be zero, in my opinion...
Imo, that poster was nothing but a FAILED attempt to keep impressionable Americans full of fear, fear, fear, terror, terror, terror--you SOB! Too many are awake now, Graham--the propaganda doesn't work anymore!

Guests can now enjoy coffee from the Urban Coffee Company when they stay with us. It's a local, independent company run from two excellent cafes in Birmingham (Church St and Jewellery Quarter).
Like us, Urban Coffee Company take their coffee very seriously. The Urban Espresso blend we have chosen for guests is a blend of 100% Arabica beans from four different farms: Brazillian Daterra, top grade coffee from Honduras La Centrale, Costa Rico Tres Rio and India Monsoon Malabar AA. It's mellow and utterly delicious.
Our Rotunda apartments were featured by The Sunday Telegraph's Stella magazine on April 9th. "Self-catering couldn't be more groovy" was the Stella verdict.
'The Girl's Guide to...Birmingham' was an excellent best of Birmingham, "a city rich in artisan heritage and quirky boutiques." and featured many of Staying Cool's old favourite haunts such as The Custard Factory and The Electric cinema. Stella, we salute you!
The search is on for England's biggest fan!
He/she will win an all-expenses paid, 70-day trip around England courtesy of VisitEngland. They're scouring the nation until April 9th.
The fan will travel in an iconic Anglomobile campervan and will be
tasked with entertaining followers around the globe with videos,
photos, tales of adventure and lots of fun.
Enter here and take us with you if you win!
100 of Birmingham's advertising billboards have been taken over by artists from today until April 29th.
48Sheet, a project by EC Arts, is an artistic intervention aiming to transform the city of Birmingham and parts of the region into a unique gallery. The billboards will exhibit work by regional and national artists including work by internationally renowned artists MadeIn (Shanghai) and Raqs Media Collective (Delhi).
The project aims to create an urban gallery for people to explore throughout the month of April. There is an online map identifying 48Sheet billboard locations. There are recommended cycling and walking routes to encourage people to enjoy, discover and rediscover Birmingham's canals and back streets and the Cultural Quarter of Digbeth. All recommended routes start from the 48Sheet project space based at The Mailbox which will be open from 2 April, Monday - Saturday 10am - 5pm.
Could you spare a couple of minutes to complete a quick survey about technology? Everyone who takes part will have the chance to win six bottles of champagne.
Please click here to complete the survey.
Guests staying at the Rotunda are in for a special treat this Easter. Complementary Cadbury Creme Eggs will be found in every serviced apartment on check in from March 20th to April 8th, 2012.
Two seriously cool arts festivals are coming up in Birmingham.
Cinema lovers should check out Flatpack Festival. Described by The Independent as, "The country's most creatively curated film festival" it's a wonderful, eclectic festival. Flatpack runs from 14th-18th March.
Fierce, the city's international festival of live art and performance, runs from March 29th-April 8th. We're intrigued by some of the pieces exploring the highs and lows of love; embark on an emotional Berlin Love Tour on the streets of Birmingham or take part in Uninvited Guests' Love Letters Straight From Your Heart (fresh from a sell-out run at London's Southbank Centre) in which love song dedications from the audience are woven into the performance.
The team from Visit England, the national tourist board, came to Birmingham and their report of the trip features none other than Staying Cool at the Rotunda.
On Birmingham itself, Visit England says, "While thousands whizz straight past Britain's second city every hour, on their way north or south, they're missing out on some fabulous shopping, delicious food - and cutting edge contemporary art."
We couldn't agree more!
Congratulations to Tamalyn Roberts and Ed Keep who each won a Brownie Extravaganza gift box in our Cocoa Loco competition. They'll be with you soon.

County plan to clean up Ontario Beach
Charlotte, N.Y. - If you've lived in the Rochester area long enough, you know there have been days when access to the beach is closed due to algae levels.
It's a scene the Greaves family is familiar with.
"We were obviously not going to be in there for that reason," said beachgoer Rachel Greaves.
"It's kind of disappointing because we take the time to come up and bring the kids out and all of a sudden we get here and we can't go in," beachgoer Rob Greaves said.
Last summer was an exceptionally rough year for beachgoers.
According to Monroe County statistics, Ontario Beach was closed for 57% of the summer season due to high algae levels.
So far this year, the beach has been forced to close twice.
Monroe County hopes to reduce the number of days the beach closes with a new algae removal project.
The plan was first recommended by the Army Corps of Engineers in 2011, but the county couldn't afford the project then.
A grant is paying for the $400,000 project now.
The project requires permanent features that will be built into the structure of the pier.
Pipes will essentially vacuum algae and funnel it through the pipes, releasing it back into Lake Ontario, away from the pier and swimming areas.
"This beach each and every summer, especially on a day like this is a destination for individuals, for families, for seniors. It really is a focal point for summer activity in Rochester and Monroe County, however, for residents to really enjoy all this park has to offer, we need to overcome one simple thing we've been struggling with each and every year, "said Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks. "How do we keep the beach open as many days open in the summer?"
The goal is to enhance the quality of life along the beach.
"Hopefully with what they're working on we'll be able to come anytime we want and not have to worry about it. It will be great for the kids and great for all the business out there too," said Greaves.
"To me, they need to clean it up so that we can enjoy it more, beachgoer Daisy Loving-Gordon said." "It should never be closed."
Construction to put together the equipment for the project starts now and is expected to take four weeks to complete.
During construction, the county says the public will have access to the pier and beach area unless there is a safety concern.
The algae removal process will start next month.
The county says the process will be ongoing through the summer months for the foreseeable future.

Like Water for Chocolate
Not yet rated
Time Out says
Set during the Mexican revolution, this is a women's movie in that it shows the secret face of political events. Of three sisters, Gertrudis (Maille) becomes a general in the revolutionary army; Rosaura (Arizmendi) is married and has children; and the youngest, sweet-faced Tita (Cavazos), who was cheated of the chance to wed, experiences life through the disciplines of the kitchen. It might sound a bit like Babette's Feast, except that the rows, rapes, gunfire, ghosts and sex are a million miles from 19th century Denmark. Tita is doomed by tradition to spend her life looking after her ramrod mother (Torne), while her true love (Leonardi) perversely weds Rosaura. Director Arau doesn't linger over laborious cooking and sensual ingredients, perhaps because he has much to cover: 40 years, three generations, love wasted and renewed. Recipes are milestones as the women eat, fantasise and crave. It's overlong, but that reflects the nature of Mexican cooking: like water for chocolate, which must be brought to the boil three times, the characters continually bubble and boil over.Author: SFe
