I do not mean to be so negative when describing the difference in lifestyles growing up in a metropolis versus trying to live a life sustainably. There are stark differences when the environments are compared and contrasted. There is a ton written about the minutia of growing, most everything, from seeds to harvest have been studied and documented. Then there is the whole animal side, once again well researched and published. What we found lacking in all that we read was the casual need for euthanasia.
Yes, if you are involved with animals euthanasia is naturally part of the farm cycle. When I say naturally, in the best of production, you will have to deal with mortality and or the decision to end the animal's life for health reasons or for processing. That is what we thought going into the vegetable side, if you had no animals you do not have to end the life of God's creatures. That you would not have to kill, anything other than vegetation was law as far as we were aware.
Truth is, if you are on a farm you cannot get away with not killing something. Inevitably, you will someday have to take the life of something, even if it is mice eating your seeds. When you lay poison down you have stepped over the line and become something that you said you would not. Mice are but one in many instances where taking the life out of something fixes your problem. Have all the romantic fantasies you can conjure about living in a rural environment on a farm. Growing up in the city, we were led to believe in the farm where Lassie grew up. Sure Timmy was locked in a fiery barn, but Lassie was able to run and get help.
Why didn't they run an episode where Lassie kills a groundhog because the groundhog is undermining the foundation of the milking shed? At least it would have evened out the perspective of farming. Then there was Oliver Wendell Douglas, they could have shown him chopping the head off a snake he found in his kitchen. Having to take my phone outside and connect to a box on the telephone pole did not phase me in the least. That was because of the legacy of Green Acres. I do not mean to imply that our view of farming was predicated on television broadcasts; but I would be lying if I said they had no influence on our perceptions.
I am a very cautious person, I go into a decision only if I feel I have exhausted what is known and understood about the expected outcomes. We did not buy this farm and go into growing on a whim. We spent thirteen years reading and playing in our small garden before we even started looking for a farm.
In all that time, euthanasia was never brought into the discussion. That is unless animals were discussed. We were vegetable people, not vegetarians; we ate meats from local butchers and purchased fruits and vegetables from Knill's, our local farm. We just settled on growing vegetables instead of animals to get away from our own squeamishness.
We got a rude awakening within the first five days of living on the farm. Nevertheless, if you are thinking about farming and you are like us, do not think you can farm without having to someday take out an animal or reptile. I wish it was not the case but at some point in time, it will happen. Just be aware when planning, you will have to kill. If you have a hard time with it like us, I wish you all the strength in the world.

I am currently doing a new tile job around my gas heatilator fireplace and was having some re-tiling questions were posted in the remodel forum (Link at the end of this post). What I found just now is that the fireplace front face is not square with the drywall and framing around it. This photo might show what I am talking about - the fireplace is "leaning" backwards:
This pic sort of shows the slant but not really:
Underneath the fireplace, I found that the firebox is resting on 4 cinder blocks. But on the front of the firebox, there is a 1/2 thick piece of wood running across between the cinder blocks and the firebox as seem here:
Can I remove this board? I do not see any other places where the firebox is attached to the frame. I am hoping that is I can remove this (or shim up the back somehow) I can get the front face flush with the new drywall or concrete board I will be putting in to put the new tile on. |

How I learned what it means to be a music fan
Flickr user Nickolai Kashirin
The first time I met with my doula, she asked me about all of my feelings and fears about going into labor, about what was important to me. Much to her surprise, I told her one of those things was music.
But she was supportive. She told me I should make two playlists to help set the mood. One should be soft and mellow, designed to help me relax and calm down. The other should be heavy and fast, with music that would elevate my energy levels.
I thought about those playlists every day in the weeks leading up to my due date. I've always been a playlist connoisseur, starting with mixtapes and moving on to burned CDs before embracing the digital version. They're all important to me, because music has always been a central part of my life. Looking back, I tie different events and experiences to particular albums and sounds. There was the breakup where nothing seemed more appropriate than U2, the death when Pink Floyd helped sustain me, and the intercontinental move as a teenager that was punctuated with punk-rock angst and dissatisfaction. When I hear that music now, I'm not just transported to a different time and place; I also feel the same emotions I felt. I am that person once again.
Brandon Marshall You won't have the X's forever.
I've evolved, and so has my taste -- but that's no surprise. My relationship with music has always been dynamic. Still, I thought certain things about it would always be true. I couldn't imagine a time when I wouldn't voraciously seek out new bands at small and unconventional venues. I believed I'd always care about the playlist.
And my doula and I were talking about a momentous occasion, so I'd clearly have to comb through my music library to ensure that every deserving song was included. There were other concerns: Did I want full albums, or a smorgasbord of tracks? How selective should I be? What would be the soundtrack for the birth of my child?

Opinion: Robert P. George on 'Obama's Abortion Extremism' Comments
Sen.Obama's views on life issues ranging from abortion to embryonic stem cell research mark him as not merely a pro-choice politician, but rather as the most extreme pro-abortion candidate to have ever run on a major party ticket. Continue Reading

Would Obama ever walk into a room with a crying infant meant for abortion and stand there as it slowly dies? What is the definition of Evil?

Hope you all can look the 40 million murdered babies in the face on judgement day and say you voted so that we could get out of Iraq and redeploy to Afganistan. 4000 babies per day is a small price in order to redistribute wealth and promote "social justice".

Steve, you said, "The simple fact is that a larger percentage of women in countries which have outlawed abortion get abortions than women in countries where abortion has not been criminalized."
I suppose you have facts to back this up. -

It is tragic how conservative politicians have destroyed any possibility of a rational discussion of the best way to end abortion in their desire for power. It is condemnable how many clergy have facilitated those efforts.
The simple fact is that a larger percentage of women in countries which have outlawed abortion get abortions than women in countries where abortion has not been criminalized.
One possible reason for this is that those countries where abortion has been criminalized are the same countries where human rights and social justice are most violated.
Why can't we even have a discussion on what is the best way of ending abortion? -

ConcernedCatholic, you said "because we believe he will have a better track record on social justice issues."
Looks like your buying a pig in a poke. The only thing you know about what is in the poke is that Obama voted 3 time against saving children of botched abortions while the pig in the pen (McCain) has a solid anti-abortion record. Give us some examples about how you "believe" Obama will be better on social justice issues or is it just a hunch? -

The problem with the argument that there is no comparison between abortion and a just war, KC, is that you fail to prove the Iraq war is a just war in your own statements. So that parallel cannot be drawn. It fails all litmus tests.
Also, for you to call someone "sinful" for voting for a Democratic candidate is way off base. A number of Catholics are voting for Obama, because we believe he will have a better track record on social justice issues, which I'm sure you would consider to fall under the realm of "government dependency." You should read about Catholic Social Teachings (I think it would enlighten you.)

Abortion = War?
It really is Abortion = Murder and Saving life = Just War.
There is clearly no comparison between Abortion and Just War.
Be honest, you people vested in equating the Iraq war with abortion do so to try and justify and rationalize your blind and sinful support for the Democrat Party which has clearly become the party of death and slavery to government dependancy.
You know that abortion is the pre-meditated intentional killing of an innocent person...murder.
A Just War is for the defense of a country against a military foe. No one honestly say that the Iraq war was the intentional killing of innocent human life, despite BO's disgusting statement that our brave military was "...air-raiding villages and killing civilians."
But what does the Pope say about the Iraq war?.
Then Cardinal Ratzinger gave his opinion which did NOT declare the Iraq war as "unjust" but instead stated, "...it is still licit to allow that a �just war� might exist." (see entire statement below).
So, please do not equate abortion and supporters of abortion like BO and the Democrat Party that want to murder innocent human life with Bush and his supporters who were defending this country and our allies against Sadam's regime.
Then Cardinal Ratzinger's statement in an interview:
Your Eminence, a question about current events, in some way connected to the Catechism. Does the coalition war on the Iraq come within the canons of the �just war�?
RATZINGER: The Pope has very clearly expressed his thoughts, not only as the thoughts of an individual, but as the thoughts of a man of conscience occupying the highest functions in the Catholic Church. Of course, he has not imposed this position as a doctrine of the Church, but as the appeal of a conscience enlightened by the faith. This judgment of the Holy Father is convincing from a rational point of view also: reasons sufficient for unleashing a war against Iraq did not exist. First of all it was clear from the very beginning that proportion between the possible positive consequences and the sure negative effect of the conflict was not guaranteed. On the contrary, it seems clear that the negative consequences will be greater than anything positive that might be obtained. Without considering then that we must begin asking ourselves whether as things stand, with new weapons that cause destruction that goes well beyond the groups involved in the fight, it is still licit to allow that a �just war� might exist.

I had heard some of the information in this article in regards to Obama's views on abortion. I was appalled by his stand on embryonic stem cell research,his plan to use tax dollars to fund abortion, and many other stands he has taken on these issues regarding the rights of the unborn. I feel that more then ever, Catholic's and Christian's will need to work together to let our voices be heard if Obama is elected, and I want to make sure that I am one of those voices.

To Mr. or Miss "Ahem": I most certainly am a "Concerned Catholic." I have been baptized Catholic, made my first Holy Communion and Confirmation in the Catholic Church, attended Catholic schools, got married in the Catholic Church, and have baptized both of my sons in the Catholic Church.
How dare you presume to know me ... and how dare you level a personal attack on me based on the opinions that I express.
Listen, folks, I have never argued that it is not valid for anyone to make a particular vote based on the abortion issue. I can certainly respect how people feel about this.
What I do have a problem with, is that so many people seem to just give this administration and the GOP candidate a "free pass" on the war ... as though it deserves no questioning.
Also, it's not right to use an "end justifies the means" argument with Saddam, because there are a number of despicable leaders around the world whose countries we haven't invaded.
We haven't invaded North Korea (recently), or Myanmar, or Syria, or Iran, or Cuba (recently)... yet we could compare any of those governments with the former Iraq. And we also haven't invaded Saudi Arabia, where it is illegal for residents to practice Christianity.
Finally, ask yourself, what have we, as Americans, really "gained" from this war. Nothing. What have we lost? Plenty.

As long as they are easy to manipulate and control and keep taking birth control so they will be sexually available to reward the true believers. n.n Some certainly are. So are some men. Fortunately, it's neither all women nor all men. Perhaps more are recognizing the constraints imposed by reality. We have a choice and too many choose poorly for the most selfish and capricious of reasons. However, too many women have in particular betrayed their principal responsibility. Tallyman Choosing to understand that everything is for sale is a rational intellectual decision. Men have by Darwinian process evolved that skill better than women who have evolved using Darwinian emotion to evaluate decisions. Igor Choosing to understand that everything is for sale is a rational intellectual decision. Yes. but choosing to ACT on that understanding is the moral part of the equation. The way you act determines your standing with God and Man. Too many choose Man. I don't. I'll never make it in politics… Tallyman My point was not whether one should act on "everything is for sale," but to understand that others do and to respond knowledgeably. . koala "Men have by Darwinian process evolved that skill better than women who have evolved using Darwinian emotion to evaluate decisions." Perhaps because up until the last several decades women could not practice promiscuity as easily as males. The consequences for women had been ridicule and ruin. Not so for men. koala Blazzing Saddles!

I made pastry last weekend to get ahead of the game for Thanksgiving. Same recipe I've used for years. I put it in shell sized discs in freezer bags and took a couple out last night to thaw in the fridge. When I went to take them out this afternoon - they are gray! What's up with that? The recipe has flour, butter, baking powder, vinegar, an egg and ice water. I bake a lot so all my ingredients were fresh. I have never had this happen before. Anybody?

I don't know why it happens but it does....I suspect the baking powder....I don't use BP in my pastry....nor vinegar nor egg....just butter or lard or crisco or a mix, flour, salt and water and sometimes vodka. Linda C |
My guess is the raw egg. Nancy |
I did a quick search for batter turning gray and why as that has happened to me. Several sources said the baking powder reacting with the flour. |
Well I guess I know what I will be doing tonight instead of going to bed early as I had planned. The real drag is that I got ambitious last weekend and made a quadruple recipe of pastry so I have 6 more of the babies in the freezer. The recipe is called Nathan's pastry and it's fabulous, until you freeze it I guess... Happy Thanksgiving! Jane |
- Posted by canarybird (My Page) on Sun, Oct 10, 10 at 4:43
Jane I often freeze Nathan's pastry and yes when thawed it can look a little gray, but when it's baked it looks quite normal. I've also had it happen when I've left it fresh (not frozen) in the fridge for several days but have still used it and it was fine. SharonCb |
I am now using Nathan's recipe....twice, in fact. Both times I have frozen some and it never changed color. I have had that happen before even without using egg or bp. I just use it anyway. There can't possibly be any harm with dough that is fresh made and then frozen and thawed. BTW, I love the recipe. In fact, just made a raisin pie with some thawed dough. |
- Posted by arkansas_girl (My Page) on Sun, Oct 10, 10 at 8:31
Before you start all over, just bake a few and see how they turn out! |
Thanks all. I did in fact bake up a small circle of it last night before I started over and discovered that it looked and tasted fine. Sharon, it was you that I got the recipe from in the first place years ago.It is absolutely the best pastry I have ever made - every time. gldnol - I had the same thought - there can't possibly be anything wrong with it as far as being spoiled. So glad I didn't just start over. I have a chocolate tart in the oven right now - and then it will be the pumpkin pies' turn before I roast the squash and red onions to make way for the turkey! Jane |
- Posted by fearlessem (My Page) on Sat, Oct 23, 10 at 0:47
I was just going to post to say that I've had exactly this same problem when I've made pastry crusts that don't have any baking powder or egg in them, so I don't think that could be it... And I've had the same experience that they bake up just delicious -- in some cases I think even better than the crusts I haven't stored for as long in the fridge or freezer! |

Busch Stadium
Attendance: 36,113
St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) - Ryan Ludwick hit a three-run homer and knocked in four, and Colby Rasmus added a two-run shot, as the St. Louis Cardinals earned a 9-3 win over the Seattle Mariners in the opener of a three- game interleague series at Busch Stadium.
Albert Pujols had a big game with three hits, two walks, an RBI and two runs scored for the Cardinals, who were coming off a 1-5 road trip that included stops in Los Angeles to play the Dodgers, and Arizona. St. Louis had lost six of seven coming into the contest.
Adam Wainwright (9-4) tossed seven-plus innings and improved to 6-0 at home this season. The right-hander yielded six hits, three runs, walked a batter and fanned six in his first career game against the Mariners.
Ichiro Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, while Chone Figgins contributed a pair of hits, an RBI and scored a run for Seattle, which has dropped nine of its last 11.
Luke French (0-1), who was making his first start of the season after replacing an ineffective Ian Snell in the Mariners' rotation, was touched for four runs on six hits and a pair of walks over four innings. The left-hander did not register a strikeout.
Seattle jumped on Wainwright for a pair of first-inning runs. Suzuki led off the game with a homer into the right field seats and Figgins followed with an infield single, hustled to third on a grounder and scored on a groundout to second by Jose Lopez.
"From a team standpoint, with the way he's been pitching the last three years, we knew if we got a couple he'd bear down," Ludwick said of Wainwright. "That's exactly what he did. He pitched outstanding after that first."
The lead was short-lived as St. Louis answered with three in the home half. Matt Holliday drew a one-out walk and Pujols singled before Ludwick hammered a three-run shot just inside the left-field foul pole to put the Cardinals ahead.
"I think he gained some confidence back," Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said of Wainwright. "He goes out and doesn't have a very good inning and all of a sudden he gets a breather."
Ludwick's sacrifice fly in the third made it a 4-2 game and the Cards posted four more in the fifth to blow the game open.
With runners on second and third and nobody out, David Freese grounded a ball to third base and Lopez's throw home hit Pujols in the back of the helmet, allowing two runners to cross the plate. Rasmus then jumped on a first-pitch changeup and cracked it over the wall in right-center for an 8-2 game.
Wainwright ran into some trouble in the eighth as the right-hander gave up a leadoff single to pinch-hitter Michael Saunders and double to Suzuki that left runners on second and third. Jason Motte came out of the Cards' bullpen and Figgins' grounder to short allowed a run to score. Motte then got the next two batters to fly out.
Pujols added an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth and Mitchell Boggs pitched the ninth inning.

I arrived at Hall House very late after a long train ride from California.Cathy very graciously showed me to a lovely,comfortable room where I had a good nights rest.The next morning at a time of my own choosing, I had a delicious homemade full breakfast. Hall House is a lovely,clean place to stay with many conveniences for all your travel needs.I recommend the room on the east side of the building for more light and quiet.

This lovely historical home turned B & B is strategically located not only near downtown, but also near both major educational institutions, Kalamazoo College and Western Michigan. The hostess, Kathy, is very gracious, helpful, and accommodating, plus fun to talk with. The rooms (we have stayed numerous times for our K College reunions) are spacious and very nicely appointed, with small touches everywhere that add interest and to he very homey, comfortable atmosphere. The food is plentiful and very nicely prepared and presented. The whole house is welcoming, and the dining room, while providing separate and various table configurations, is conducive to friendly interchanges between guests should they so desire. Among the many amenities (24/7 supply of hot drink mixes, dvd availability, no charge for local calls, etc.) the very convenient parking on the property helps in an otherwise parking scarce area. We highly recommend Hall House to all B & B lovers, and know it will convert any hotel person to its gracious accommodations.

Loved this charming B&B in a great location! Cathy was so kind and helpful and truly has such pride in her beautiful home. We were able to see the other rooms and the pictures do not do them justice. My friend and I stayed in the Penthouse Suite and it was perfect! This B&B will be our place to meet. Just lovely!

Found this delightful B and B by googling and am so thrilled. It will become the "place" to meet up with my Chicago friend. Perfect location- to the train station to pick her up, the Kalamazoo Mall and Fooddance! Breakfasts were yummy and generous. Cathy- the hostess was a doll. DOn't miss this spot!

My husband and I have stayed in many bed and breakfasts across this country and in Canada. We rate this B&B among the best. For starters, the Inn is very clean and conveniently located across the street from Kalamazoo College. We did not meet David Griffith, but Cathy Griffith, the innkeeper, was extremely congenial. We found her to be a great conversationalist and helpful without being intrusive. Our breakfast, although billed as continental plus, was anything but merely continental. We enjoyed a hot entreé with fresh fruit, muffins, juice and coffee. Everything was delicious. We were even offered seconds although the first go-round had already filled us up. We have already put this on our must-return-to list and highly recommend this B&B to anyone in need of quiet and superb accommodations in Kalamazoo.

The quality built into this house in 1923 still shines through! We were enchanted from our first step onto the imported Italian marble in the entryway. Cathy was charming, and loved sharing details about the house. Clean, comfortable, and luxurious!

This was our first time at Hall House and it won't be our last. Our room was beautiful, cozy, and immaculate. Cathy served a delicious breakfast and is a charming, friendly host. If you are ever in the Kalamazoo are, please stay here. You won't regret it. Cathy, keep up the good work!!!

Cathy was acommodating from when we were greeted with a glass of wine to when we left after a wonderful breakfast. Very generous rooms with bathrooms. Great historical home with a lot of origional features. Would suggest this to anyone who asked where to have a great stay in the Kalamazoo area. THank you Cathy and David for a pleasant visit.

We went to the Hall House on our wedding night, and have been back a couple of times for our anniversary because we like it so much. It is always quiet and peaceful and the breakfast is fantastic. We recommend it to anyone who is looking for a romantic getaway or just some good pancakes :)

Once again we have had the pleasure of staying at Hall House, and we continue to be big fans of this B&B located steps away from Kalamazoo College. As in the past, Hall House is immaculate, and our room with private bath was most comfortable. The innkeepers are very welcoming to their guests, and at the same time, respect their guests privacy. A delicious hearty breakfast is served each morning. In addition to its great location with respect to Kalamazoo College, Hall House is convenient to Western Michigan University and downtown Kalamazoo.

"Dark Green" is the traditional dark-green zucchini that produces large quantities of nice straight fruits that just keep coming. A reliable variety that has proven itself year after year.
When and Where to Plant: Tender Annual. Direct sow seeds after danger of frost has passed. Optimal soil temperature for germination is 85-F. Seeds can also be started indoors 3-4 weeks before frost date for earlier harvests. Harden plants off by reducing temperature and water. Plant outdoors after danger of all frost has passed. Black plastic mulch and floating row cover can be used to increase soil and air temperature.

If you like the itinerary below please quote REF AFRICA 688 when enquiring for further details.
Alternatively you may like modify this trip with your own Holiday Wish List
Today we will meet you at Maun airport from your flight landing at 1pm and take you to where you will be transferred by light aircraft from Maun to the Delta.
The Okavango Delta is one of the last remaining unspoiled wilderness areas of Africa. The Delta is fed by the floodwaters of Central Africa and covers an area of some 16000 square kilometers. These waters fan out into the Okavango Delta forming a wetland system of beautiful palm-fringed channels, lagoons and islands that support a wealth of fauna and flora alike.
On the morning of day 3 you fly to Gunn's Camp, a wonderful luxury vintage safari camp overlooking legendary Chiefs Island on the border with Moremi Game Reserve in the Okavango Delta. Spend two nights here and further explore the delta by mokoro, enjoy guided bush walks, go fishing with the locals and learn more about the ecology of the area.
Moremi Game Reserve covers some 4871 square km (70% of which part of the Okavango Delta) and is considered obe of the most beautiful wildlife reserves in Africa, as it combines mopane woodland and acacia forests, lily covered wetlands, flood plains and lagoons. Moremi consists of a network of waterways surrounding two large islands - Chiefs Island in the west and Mopane Tongue in the east. In this pristine wilderness area birdlife is prolific and as Moremi is a fenced reserve, game viewing is impressive throughout the year. Elephants are numerous, as well as buffalo, giraffe, lion, leopard, cheetah, wild dog, hyena, jackal and antelope.
Today we will transfer you to Makgadigadi Pans where you'll spend the next two nights Explore the area on Baobab bush walk and on returning to the lodge you can enjoy sundowners before a delicious three course dinner.
The Kalahari Salt Pans in Makgadigadi & Naxi Pan National Park are all that remain of an ancient great central Botswana lake that covered the Kalahari several million years ago. In the dry season the never ending ethereal lunar landscape of glistening salt pans is spectacular, the plains are barren and animals gather to drink at the deep pools of water, which are all that remains of the dries up Boteti River. When the rains come grasslands flourish and the pans fill up with water becoming great sheets of water, attracting a fantastic array of waterbirds and triggering spectacular migrations of wildebeest and zebra.
Today we will transfer you through to Victoria Falls and check you into your hotel. Zimbabwe is home to arguably the world's most beautiful precipice, UNESCO-listed Victoria Falls. Victoria Falls, described by the Kololo tribe living in the area in the 1800's as 'Mosi-oa-Tunya' - 'the smoke that thunders', is one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
Today is a free day for you to relax or explore independantly. You could also opt to do one of the many optional activities (book and pay for locally subject to availability) Falls tour, walk with the lions, scenic flight, elephant back safari, rafting, bunjie jumping etc

The liberal establishment has already rendered its verdict on the 2010 election: Voters are angry because they aren't very smart.
"We have an electorate that doesn't always pay that much attention to what's going on," Sen. John Kerry says, "so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what's happening." Vice President Joe Biden argues that the Obama administration's accomplishments are "just too hard to explain" to voters who are presumably too dim to understand them. Maureen Dowd writes in theNew York Times that Sarah Palin "has made ignorance fashionable,"while Steven Pearlstein of the Washington Post discovers that the "dirty little secret" of American politics "is that most Americans don't really know what they think about the issues that so animate the political conversation in Washington, and what they think they know about them is often wrong."
The pessimism of the liberal establishment about the capacity of voters to cast intelligent ballots in next week's election is matched only by their doubt about the capacity of citizens to make intelligent choices in their own daily lives. The two pessimisms are closely related and go far toward explaining why liberal elites continue to cherish a vision of rule by beneficent experts not unlike that of the nine ranks of philosophical mandarins in old China, each distinguished by its characteristic button.
The belief that the common man is an idiot is the perennial cri de coeur of mandarinism. If most people are fools on whom "facts and science and argument" have little effect, it makes sense to deprive them (as discreetly as possible) of as much liberty of action and electoral leverage as practicable. It makes sense to enact laws that limit their freedom of choice and "nudge" them into making the approved decisions. It makes sense to outsource regulatory and purse-string power to administrative czars and quasi-independent bodies, to stimulus and bailout sages, to all those boards and commissions of experts which, being insulated from the power of voters to hire and fire their representatives, have proved to be less accountable to democracy than elected lawmakers and magistrates.
Yet the policies that make sense to the credentialed elites of mandarin-world are being questioned as never before by voters who appear to have had enough of them.
A recent Rasmussen survey found that 65 percent of voters "say they prefer a government with fewer services and lower taxes" to "one with more services and higher taxes." (By contrast, 70 percent of what Rasmussen calls the "political class" want "more services and higher taxes." Another Rasmussen poll finds that most likely voters believe that "their representative in Congress does not deserve reelection if he or she voted for the national health care law, the auto bailouts or the $787-billion economic stimulus plan."

Rapid Reaction: Mavs 95, Grizzlies 85
April, 4, 2012
Tim MacMahon | ESPNDallas.com
How it happened: Maybe the Grizzlies, who were playing their fifth game in six nights, just ran out of gas. That doesn't matter to the Mavericks.
The Mavs absolutely dominated crunch time, as they did so often during last season's championship run and have done so rarely this season.
That dominance started on the defensive end. The Mavs held the Grizzlies to 12 points on 4-of-16 shooting in the final 10 minutes, allowing Dallas to turn a five-point deficit into a double-figure margin of victory.
The stops fueled the Mavs' offense. Shawn Marion's 12-point fourth quarter featured four fast-break baskets, one on a beautiful, spinning feed from Jason Terry for a dunk.
The brilliance of Marion, who finished with 16 points on 7-of-11 shooting and seven rebounds, allowed the Mavs' co-closers to slip into complementary roles as Dallas put the Grizzlies away. Dirk Nowitzki scored six of his game-high 23 points in the final frame. Terry had five of his 15 points in the fourth quarter.
Marion, as usual, also spearheaded the Mavs' defensive effort. He held Memphis star Rudy Gay to eight points on 4-of-12 shooting, shutting him out in the fourth quarter.
The Mavs also won the rebounding battle, 45-40, a big deal after getting their butts kicked on the glass on a regular basis recently. Nowitzki grabbed 10 rebounds for his ninth double-double of the season.
What it means: The Mavs pulled even with the Grizzlies in the Western Conference standings, sitting in a tie for fifth place. The tiebreaker in the series will be settled Saturday night in Memphis. The Mavs also created a little separation from Houston (idle) and Denver, which lost to New Orleans.
Bold play of the game: Marion grabbed a rebound off O.J. Mayo's missed runner and went coast to coast for a little floater. That capped a 10-0 run -- which started when Marion replaced Lamar Odom after Odom's pathetic failure to box out resulted in a three-point play for Memphis' Quincy Pondexter -- and stretched the Mavs' lead to five points.
Stat of the night: The Mavs are 3-20 when trailing after three quarters, including comebacks in their last two wins. Dallas was 18-22 when trailing after three quarters last season.
