Campaign Money
"Money Corrupts the System" Crowd Missing in Action
Political candidate should raise and spend as much money as they can or want in campaigns. Government limits on freedom of speech always produce unintended consequences. But like many conservatives, I feel pummeled by the impact of Democratic/liberal money this cycle. The causes and consequences of the money gap require a much longer post/discussion.
I just want to make one narrower point today. If you consider the amount of money the Obama campaign raised this cycle and combine it with the various Democratic campaign committees (e.g. Democratic National Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee) they will raise a total of over $1 billion this cycle. That's never happened before. And that also doesn't include any labor or liberal 527 money.
Good for them. But join me in a little thought exercise. What would the so-called reformers be saying if Republicans blew the doors off fundraising records?
I explore the numbers in more detail in this column in the Washington Times today and end with this caution. Republicans should ensure they're never outspent like this again. But once they ratchet up the fundraising next cycle, get ready for the "reformers" to charge the GOP's trying to "buy the election."
Campaign $
How much of our trailing way behind in fundraising is due to McCain accepting public financing, does that make a difference at all? One way to increase Republican money is to follow the Obama model and turn off all fraud checks so that anyone, anywhere in the world can give as much money as they want!
couldn't agree more
Some of my favorite GOP ads done in the NC and KY Senate races have centered around pointing out that an awful lot of funding going to their Democratic opponents isn't a result of grassroots support from their fellow Kentuckians and North Carolinians but a thick funnel of money coming from the kind of Democrats with whom few Southerners share priorities and worldviews.
I will be the first to say that the GOP needs to pivot off the binary religious issues since they tend to get a little simplistic and turn off many people who are religious but find the context inappropriate for national politics. But the people in North Carolina do need to know that Kay Hagan, should she be elected, owes a chit or two to radical, aggressive atheists from Massachusetts. They may not care and may ultimately elect Hagan anyway, but they do need to know. Bottom line.
Minority Leader McConnell has put out ads noting how much money Senator Schumer is spending on his race. Southern Democratic electoral success depends on separating yourself from national Democratic leadership, so ads like this are anathema.
You know what, though? I don't see the money gap as being permanent at all. Our big money sat on the sidelines this year because of McCain, plain and simple. We do have catch up to do, and although Howard Dean makes me cringe as a person, it was probably smart to bring him to the DNC because he does know a little something about fundraising on the Internet...
But when Dobson funds Bachmann, it is OK?
Let's not forget that both sides airdrop money over borders - Michele Bachmann owes a chit or two to Dobson.
I think the voters of MN-6 need to know that, too.
The "why" is important, too
I generally agree with the article and the comments, but I find there's a misconception around fundraising that is focused on process, i.e. being better at raising money on the Internet, as the primary cause for success/failure this go around.
True, the Ds have some really good processes in place to raise campaign funds, but $600 MM alone for Obama? You don't get those numbers because you have better flow on your website for accepting campaign donations, or because Howard Dean is a great salesman, or there are no fraud checks. Especially in a declining economic environment.
There is a larger force at play. I would suggest the leading cause that Obama has raised so much cash (and the other organizations along with him) is that many of their donors feel a sense of purpose in making that donation. There's a significant chunk of the electorate that feels very turned off by the current administration, and they feel they're making a positive difference by making that donation.
I don't think the same argument can be made for the bulk of R donors this year. By contrast, contributions to McCain's campaign are being sold (at least how the pitch was made to me) through a negative lens -- donate to me because of "that one". There's a big difference between buying something that makes you feel good vs. buying something to avoid something bad, and that's what the pitch looks like right now. And it is exaggerated by McCain continually calling out the fear factor, i.e. "watch out for Obama-Reid-Pelosi".
The Ds have a lot going for them in this election, including a better frame of reference on the sales pitch.
I think the Palin pick was a
I think the Palin pick was a good way to help close the enthusiasm gap -- but you're right, it's still there.
I blame McCain for the big Texas checkbooks staying closed this year and the Christian Coalition and others staying out of it. He truly dislikes those people. He calls them out in public all the time. Again, Palin helped, and not just because of her own evangelical creds, but we still have a gap. Why would the 527s come in? McCain is not their friend.
Now, to Obama. Yes, the enthusiasm on the part of his supporters is amazing. I can't wait to see the post-election analyses of the campaign because I am sure there are things we could learn. But the reasons for the fervor scare me and it's not a model I want the GOP to follow. Think of the nouns people use around him: "Hope", "Change", "Progress." He is a secular Jesus for the purveyors of and wallowers in a materialist victimology that's become a cancer in American society. I'm ashamed to admit that seeing the whining and complaining that Obama is banking on to get elected has made me disdain so many of my fellow Americans for the way they're so ready to eschew self reliance and stand in line for a handout. I do not doubt we have problems and I do not doubt the need to make life easier for the American middle class, but Obama is cashing in on a self pitying, pathetic strain of American society that makes it obvious why Oprah is his biggest supporter.
I'd rather be a minority forever than get in a cyclical competition with these people over who feels your pain more acutely. Bush tried it and look where we are --picking up the pieces.
Not as important as the "how".
That gazillion dollars is not coming from millions of ordinary Americans looking for "hope and change". It's coming from the same handful of wealthy fat-cats who have always funded the Democratic party.
Fat cats
Reps have their own fat cats, and they've stayed away. Strategy, tactics and organization count more than money. BHO has done very well at all three of these; McCain . . . he proves my point. No strategy, barely any money at the start of the general election, and bad organization. Although he will most likely loose, he won't by as much as a Reagan/Mondale blowout. Even in a bad Rep climate.
Reps should only be thinking about it's plank and the discipline to follow it.
Are you sure about that, Jon?
3.1 million donors to the Obama campaign last I heard. That's a lot of fat cats.
You are mistaken.
There may have been that many donations to the Obama campaign. It's a pretty big leap to get from there to that many donors.
The Obama campign purposedly does not keep the data needed to determine the number of donors, since that data could also be used in prosecuting them.
yes i call bs too. last i
yes i call bs too. last i checked, (and of course the past few months could have thrown things way out of whack), the average donation to the RNC was about half that of the DNC.
It's an amazing shift in demographic support that the mainstream media should be covering, and probably would be if the shoe were on the other foot.
But what story is there?
So they raised more? And they do report on this. but it's a one-liner news item if there are no consequences. Barack has raised more, DNC has raised more and . . . DNC should just say 'no'?
Welcome to the free market! According to the Obama people and the liberal controled MSM, it works.
Maybe we can thwart them in the next election by being more socialist than they are. State controlled elections will take care of the democrat problem.
No, I mean a story that
No, I mean a story that debunks the notion that the Democrats are the party of the little guy and Republicans only represent big business. Those two things are only a fraction of each one's coalition.
Yeah, but . . .
Both parties try to cast themselves as fighting for the average person. McCain's got Joe the Plumber and Obama's got the arthritic grandma. And for the average, non-aligned person, it's a total sell on both sides. I don't think there will be some political techtonic shift if the MSM blew the story of average campaign contributions.
The MSM has been talking about how much Obama's been raising. That's not a secret, the MSM is covering that. But like Wright and Ayers, the mass audience doesn't care. The MSM is a for-profit venture. If it's not selling, it's not going to be highlighted. Even if you and some other people really, really, really want them to.
I really, really, really hate pop music (I have a little girl and I curse the day she gets into manufactured boy-bands), but damn if I can get people to stop buying it. That's why it's not really worth discussing. You're better off cutting your loses in this catagory and focus on what matters. . . to others. That's how you win an election. You figure out what other people care about, not force what you care about on others.
I think you're right that it
I think you're right that it wouldn't cause a political shift...I just get tired of people assuming that Republicans are out to screw the average person and enrich themselves. Of course a lot of the establishment GOP is making that a hard sell *cough* Stevens *cough* but I guess I'm just venting.
who and who much
Again, I think it's irrelevent who or how much is donated. In terms of how much, you're going to hit the law of dimished returns. McCain isn't losing because of this. Both parties has grass roots donations and big money donors. I don't think money sways elections.
And philosphically, I don't think names should be kept. As long as you are a citizen of this country, donate away. I don't believe in coorporate or foreign donors.
Not so
Both parties has grass roots donations and big money donors.
The Democratic Party has always relied heavily on the donations of a small number of very wealthy individuals. I'm sure that's the case this year, although they are fraudulently hiding that fact.
I don't think money sways elections.
You're funny.
And philosphically, I don't think names should be kept.
Which philosophy would that be? Oligarchy?
not not so
The Democratic Party has always relied heavily on the donations of a small number of very wealthy individuals. I'm sure that's the case this year, although they are fraudulently hiding that fact.
Maybe Dems have more, but prove to me there's some cabal of Dem donors that far excede the right. Some proof other than insistance.
You're funny
No, I'm serious. Maybe 'sway' was to wrong word; I think it is not in the top five important factors. I go back to my original premise: McCain losing has little to do with money. I think money is more a reflection of success than a cause of it. There's quite a bit of thought out there about this . . . I'm not original in thinking this.
Which philosophy would that be? Oligarchy?
Libertarian. As long as I'm not breaking any laws, its no one's damn business how I spend my money. Too be honest with you, after Bush opening the doors to pervasive survaillance, the Dems don't scare me one bit more than Republicans.
Absolutely right.
Today's Democrat party is bought and paid for by George Soros and his ilk. In fact the wealthiest Congressional Districts are currently represented by Democrats and will most likely go for Obama.
I have never cared who gives what and how much to what party but I do believe that any contribution should not be kept secret. In other words if you don't like who is contributing to so and so, then vote for the other guy. There is absolutely nothing "libertarian" about keeping contrbutions secret. When you are talking about funding a candidate for public office then you are talking about the public interest and not a private investment.
Obama touts his "transparency" agenda
This could be an area where the right and left have common interests in pressing for legislation for transparency in election funding and voter registration. I would certainly support making the whole thing much easier and clearer.
Obama is fond of pointing the "Google For Government" legislation he sponsored with Tom Coburn -- one of his "bi-partisan" bona fides don't you know -- we should consider pushing him on this. Maybe Senator Coburn would help us.
Fair enough
I disagree with you about the Soros thing, but as far funding in a public office . . . you got point.
....... I agreed with that too soon. Geoge Soros DID give a few million last election cycle to MoveOn or some group like that and still lost. That's because George Soros only has one vote. MAYBE all financing should be public, but I return to my original point . . . the law of diminishing returns. So far, no one has ever outright bought an election. Much on this particular topic is carping becuase McCain was totally out classed. If McCain was the one raising more money, no one here would be griping about it. Dems are winning because they are working the system and talking about issues that matter during this cycle. Reps are not. Start paying attention to things that matter. The question money in the campaign is a result of success not always a cause of it.

Pollen Power
Female Valley carpenter bees are solid black--except when they're foraging around passion flowers. Then they're black and yellow--the yellow being the color of the pollen transferred to their thorax.
Beautiful? Absolutely.
Mary Patterson, one of the founding Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven gardeners, planted a Passiflora (passion flower vine) along a fenceline of the bee garden several years ago to attract such insects as honey bees, carpenter bees and Gulf Fritillary butterflies (Agraulis vanillae). This is the Gulf Frit's host plant.
And the Passiflora does indeed attract them.
The Valley carpenter bees (Xylocopa varipuncta) were really mixing it up today during a Häagen-Dazs Honey Bee Haven Committee meeting.
The garden, installed in the fall of 2009, thanks to a generous gift from Häagen-Dazs to the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, is located on Bee Biology Road, west of the central UC Davis campus, next to the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility. It is open from dawn to dusk.
Check out the passion flowers. You'll find lots of insects passionate about them.

Drawing pumpkin faces is the perfect way of practicing drawing when Halloween is approaching. Not only you'll hone your drawing skills but you'll end up having beautiful designs to use for your pumpkin projects.
Is it complicated to draw pumpkin faces? Not at all!! In the following tutorial you will learn how to draw different type of them and even how to color it digitally.
Let's get started!
OK drawing a pumpkin faces is very easy, the first thing to do is to draw the pumpkin. Start with the shape of the pumpkin which is somewhat similar to a compressed balloon.
...followed by the indispensable lines that we will use to position eyes, mouth and nose of the pumpkin. Let's start with the eyes.
The first pumpkin face I am going to draw will be a simple and classy face, triangular eyes, smiling mouth with square teeth and a triangular nose. The secret to a perfect pumpkin face design is to keep it very loose and asymmetrical.
Eyes are two triangles, draw them as you please.
Now it's the turn of the mouth. Make it very large because we need to put teeth in it!
Teeth in this face are square and completely irregular. The more irregular the better the pumpkin face will look.
This face definitely needs a nose. And you guess right is going to be a triangular nose! Everything however looks flat and plain now, let's give it a bit of depth.
Pumpkin faces are supposed to be carved in real pumpkins so to give to it that realistic feeling you should add the thickness of the pumpkin visible trough the eyes, nose and mouth. I have added it to the eye and a little bit to the nose and mouth. See how it looks now? Much more realistic and vivid, doesn't it?
For the next step we are going to use the pumpkin shape we have already drawn and "carve" different faces with different moods and expressions.
Here is the simple pumpkin in all its glory. Let's carve some nice expressions!
By now you should have get the way to proceed. Draw the eyes than the mouth; draw them with irregular shapes. Again the more irregular the better. Another popular way of drawing the pumpkin mouth is with saw-teeth. Try to draw the mouth and teeth in a single sweep.
And again add a bit of depth to the face by thickening the profiles of the eyes and mouth.
As a final touch to this pumpkin face I have added a small, irregular hole for the nose and two pupils! The trick to draw pupils is simple.
Imagine you are really carving a real pumpkin and in order to leave the pupils you'd have to carve the eye actually leaving the pupils there. In other words you carve the eye-shape less the pupil and that's the final effect!
I have used the same mouth here but changed the eyes. Did you notice it? Do you like my Cyclops pumpkin face?
This pumpkin is to show you yet another possible shape for the mouth and the eyes but, really, do not be afraid to experiment and find a design that you like for your pumpkin. A suggestion could be to draw different eye shapes and mouth shapes and then combine them to see how they look together. Exactly how I am doing here!
This is a very angry pumpkin face, isn't it? I'll show you briefly how to paint it to obtain a perfect drawing of a scary pumpkin face.
The first step is to sketch in the colors for the pumpkin and the interior of the pumpkin. As you'll notice at the beginning I had decided to go for a darker color for the inside of the pumpkin but after thoughtful consideration I went for the obvious choice of using a very bright yellow to simulate the light coming from the interior of the head.
In this step I have created the background of the image by mixing a bit of dark purples and reddish-browns. I have also added the bright yellow inside the pumpkin head and sketched in the dark color to highlight the thickness of the pumpkin skin.
With a bit of more working on the shadows of the background and the highlights of the pumpkin-head the drawing is ready!! Hope you enjoyed this amazing tutorial from the Drawing Factory!!

Was playing Mizuno MP's and I was looking for a new set that was forgiving yet playable. I like to work the ball from right to left from time to time. All I can say is WOW. These are very nice. Played in Men's league scramble last night and we used my approach shot on every hole, 7 out of 7 GIR. Hit 1 of 2 par 3's but one was just a poor swing. A little less feedback then my MP 29's but greater distance and control. It has hard to leave Mizuno but I am very happy with my choice.

Rockies' De La Rosa exits rehab start with forearm tightness as precaution
Posted By Troy E. Renck On May 12, 2012 @ 6:27 pm In Uncategorized | No Comments
Rockies left-hander Jorge De La Rosa's rugged rehab road continued Saturday as he exited after a 28-pitch first inning in Double-A Tulsa with forearm tightness. He spoke with the trainer and did not come out for the second inning, removed as a precaution. His quick exit will likely push his return to the Rockies back at least a week because this is essentially a lost outing.
His first rehab start in Modesto was cut short when he was hit by a line drive in his right hand. He finished that night by throwing 20 pitches in the bullpen.
De La Rosa, who is a year removed from elbow ligament surgery, threw 28 pitches, 24 strikes, while allowing four runs for Tulsa. The left-hander told The Post earlier this week that he experiences tightness the day after he pitches, and it eventually goes away. It's common after the surgery, however he's never felt the tightness while he pitched. De La Rosa has likely learned from last season. He privately pitched through pain for a few weeks a year ago before then his elbow ligament eventually tore.
De La Rosa's schedule was mapped out to make one more start in Tulsa then two in Triple-A Colorado Springs before eventually rejoining the Rockies. When a pitcher starts a rehab assignment, he has a 30-day window before he must be activated, unless there is a setback then the clock restarts.

Look sharp in men's work shorts
Think of s job that requires extensive time spent outdoors in warm weather: delivery men, mail carriers, lawn and garden specialist, pool maintenance, cable installer, etc. This is a never-ending list. Almost everyone knows someone who works a lot in the outdoors in the heat. These men deserve to be comfortable. Rather than having to wear pants that stick to their legs as the day wears on and grows warmer, many employers allow them to wear shorts. It's these shorts that make them not only comfortable but able to do their jobs well. Kmart knows this and makes quality work shorts available.
Few names are as synonymous with workwear as well as Dickies. They have several styles to fit the demanding need of men. Durable and stain-resistant, these work shorts go as hard as the person wearing them. Choose from loose or relaxed fit to find your comfort level. A key aspect of these shorts is that they are great for casual wear, too. Use them as part of outfits for men and get more mileage out of your clothes.
When you are on the go and need someplace to keep your possessions, these shorts come up big. Cell phones can be the biggest nuisance, with their bulky frames and weight not fitting well in a front pocket. Don't worry because some of the work shorts come with an extra pocket on a leg just to store a cell phone or whatever else you may want. This includes keys, money or whatever else you can fit in there! Not only do these come in different fits, but they are available in multiple colors. Take your pick from black, brown and blue, depending upon the style. Other models of shorts come with multi-use pockets, which are perfect for those who don't care for the cell phone pocket. Also, because you are working hard there's no reason your shorts shouldn't work hard for you. Resistant to wrinkles, work shorts are ready to put in the long hours with you.
If the black, brown and blue are not your style, check out the denim shorts. Perfect for the most casual situation with the comfort you have come to expect, you can wear quality shorts all week long.

By default, dates are displayed American style: month/day/year, so today is 5/2/08. (Yes, I know it's stupid but what can I say, we can't grasp the metric system either). If you're accustomed to seeing dates in day/month/year format instead, this can be confusing!
You can easily change the date format in your profile -- this will fix all dates in the forums, blogs, and photo galleries.

At the beginning of the Fall 2010 trimester, Rachael Brown was faced with a dilemma.
Though the clocks won't spring forward until March, the University of Science and Arts is getting its traditional jump on things with the launch of the Spring 2011 trimester. Classes begin Jan. 7 at Oklahoma's public liberal arts university in Chickasha. Jan. 7 also is enrollment day at the college.
The Chickasha Public School Foundation is seeking to partner with donors from the community to match two $10,000 endowed scholarships for local students to attend the University of Science and Arts.
The USAO Fieldhouse was recently the site of an epic generational struggle as two basketball teams took to the court to raise money and donations for local food banks and charities. The first annual Turkey Classic pitted university faculty and staff against students to answer the classic question of whether experience or youth would prevail.
Two student organizations are going the extra mile this year to ensure that area children get to enjoy the important gift of books during the holiday season.
Cash prizes, public exhibition and multiple awards are up for grabs to the winners of this year's Innovations art competition at the University of Science and Arts. Registration for high school artists is Feb. 23.
The University of Science and Arts is sponsoring a 6 day, 5 night Art and Theatre tour to New York City that is planned for June 14-19, 2011. The tour will be led by emeritus faculty member Roger Drummond and Jacquelyn Knapp, associate professor of art.
Dr. Kevin H. Crow recently served as chair for "Converts and Conversion," a session at the Annual Byzantine Studies Conference.
An associate professor of history at the University of Science and Arts (USAO), Crow was the only Oklahoma scholar in attendance at the 36th Annual Byzantine Studies Conference that was held at the University of Philadelphia from Oct 8-10.
Note: This is the last of a four-part series on the distinguished individuals who will be honored by the USAO Alumni Association at this year's annual Homecoming on Nov. 5-7.
CHICKASHA – A member of the Victims Services Unit of the Oklahoma Office of Attorney General and a urologic surgery resident will be honored this year as they receive the USAO Young Alumni Award during Alumni Homecoming at the University of Science and Arts Nov. 5-7.
For her distinguished service to the arts community, Julie Bohannon will receive one of the coveted Governor's Arts Awards at the State Capitol on Nov 10. Bohannon is the former director of alumni development at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.

Guacamole Ice Cream? Oh Yes, Rosa Mexicano Can Do That
Categories: Just Desserts
Rosa Mexicano |
The guacamole de postre, dessert in disguise. |
Since the "Flavors of Mexico" series usually revolves around holidays and Mexican festivals, we wondered if there was a special significance behind Rosa's festival of everything ice cream. But Chef David Sloane (the Regional Executive Chef here in Miami) states quite simply that they love the stuff. "There is no better way to beat the heat in August, especially here in Miami, than with ice cream."
Turns out the Ice Cream Festival at Rosa Mexicano is one of their most popular "Flavors of Mexico" offerings. The best part for Chef Sloane is reinventing menu classics in frozen form. "Every year we have the chance to create new and unique ice cream and sorbet flavors, featuring authentic Mexican ingredients." Turns out that translates into combinations like piloncillo (unrefined brown sugar that they've been using in Mexico for the last 500 years) ice cream with chunks of carrot cake and smoked cashews, and toasted marshmallow with a Mexican chocolate swirl and canela (that's cinnamon) crumble.
Get a first hand glimpse of ice cream making in action on Saturday, August 20, at 10 a.m. For $30, you'll get a three-course lunch served family-style (kids $15) and a cooking demo; the line-up includes a blood orange, carrot and mango sorbet sundae, as well as chocolate crepes with Mexican corn truffle ice cream, and Negra Modelo with candied bacon. Space is limited, so you'll have to call and make a reservation, both the Brickell and SoBe locations are participating.

RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—A clean room is not only hygienic, it may nudge people towards better behavior. A new study published this month in the medical journal Psychological Science revealed that people in a clean-smelling room were more likely to share money or express interest in volunteering than people in an unscented room.
THE DETAILS: Researchers under the direction of lead author Katie Liljenquist, assistant professor of organizational leadership at the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University in Salt Lake City, asked participants to perform several tasks; half the participants were in unscented rooms and the other half were in rooms freshly spritzed with citrus-scented Windex. (In a follow-up questionnaire, none of the participants said they'd noticed the scent in the room.) The first experiment evaluated fairness. All participants received $12, which they were told was sent to them by an anonymous partner in another room; they had to decide how much of it to keep and how much to return to their partners who had trusted them to divide it evenly. People in clean-scented rooms were less likely to exploit their partners, returning an average of $5.33 to their partners, compared with the paltry $2.81 given back by those in the unscented room.
The second experiment evaluated charitable behavior. Participants were asked to volunteer for a Habitat for Humanity service project and donate funds to the cause. Those in the clean-smelling room were significantly more interested in volunteering, and 22 percent said they'd like to donate money. Just 6 percent of the participants in the unscented room indicated any interest in donating.

My 8-year-old has been taking swimming lessons this winter, and we're hoping she'll be able to doggy paddle by summer. One of the things about learning to swim that troubles her is going underwater. I too remember being a bit scared of that unknown (would a fish try to bite me?), but once I got past it, it was one of my favorite parts of being in the water. Well, even if your kid isn't fearful of diving right in, but just wants to look cool when she's 20,000 leagues under the sea, you'll want to check out this summer's coolest fashion accessory. Bling2O are not your average swimming goggles; these babies are spiced up with a little bit o' bling to make your favorite swimmer look as stylish underwater as she does on dry land. Accented with glittery rhinestones that stand up to salt water and chlorine, these glam goggles don't skimp on safety, thanks to their UV protection and anti-fog design. Available for ages 3 and up, Bling2O swim goggles will be in stores this spring.
In a Nutshell: The eyes have it. Girls can make a splash with protective goggles that are more than just a pretty face.

I was appointed Judge of Supm Court in 1862 was with Lincoln some. Lincoln was a peculiar man: he never asked my advice on any question sometimes I would talk to him & advise him: he would listen The idea that he told his religious views to any one is to me absurd, I asked him once about his Cabinet: he said he never Consulted his Cabinett. He said they all disagreed so much he would not ask them he depended on himself always. I may say that he did once or twice ask me some questions about money affairs and how to put out his money &c &c He wanted me to go to Baltimore Convention didn't go. April 4th 1864 is the last time I saw him until he was dead and in his Coffin He never would turn a man out off and hence his Cabinet clung together. He said He ran the Machine himself. Bancroft knew nothing about Lincoln: He was an old democrat and never sympathized with. Lincoln was a remarkbl man: he said that as a Republican government all men & women & Children had a right to see the Presdt & State his grievances. I Know it was the general opinion in Washington that I knew all about Lincolns thoughs but I Kew nothing. Lincoln never confided to me anything. He never told me a word on reconstruction Lincoln would never have split with Congress: he would have fought it out on his own fronts Johnson was a low down a demagogue &c. Seward was a Kind tender Man: he said to Johnson on this question of reconstruction I'll Stand by you. Seward thought that the South had done Enough namely repudiate the rebel debt pass the amendment and repudiate the Southern debt. All looks dark now to me: hate hate. hate &c I was at the City of Springfield about the time of Lincolns & Trumbulls Election. I got some Abolitionists to go for Lincoln.

Shreveport, LA (KMSS) — Even on Hump Day, it's not at all likely to see a camel roaming around a field in Shreveport, unless it's Desi the Camel roaming around the fields at Jubilee Zoo.
For owner Jennifer Carter, it's the reaction that children of all ages have to Desi and all of the other animals that makes her job worthwhile. She loves that at Jubilee Zoo, people can pet their favorite animals, and even feed them.
I was more than ready to feed, and cuddle, all of the animals at the petting zoo, but first I had to get food for them. Like human babies, the babies at Jubilee Zoo drink milk, to be more precise, milk from Poppy, the mommy goat.
I wanted to be helpful and milk Poppy, but I had never milked anything before, but I thought it couldn't be too hard to milk Poppy when I saw a toddler doing it.
I thought wrong, but once I got the hang of it, I made do, because I knew that Hamlet, the hungry piglet was waiting for his breakfast.
As cute as Hamlet and all the animals are, it was Tarzan, a macaw parrot rescued from a warehouse, that really got to me. Macaws are social animals, but Tarzan was left alone for long periods of time. To keep himself from going crazy with boredom, Tarzan plucked his chest feathers. While they will never grow completely back, Tarzan is doing much better surrounded by people and other animals at Jubilee Zoo.
Speaking of other animals, Jubilee Zoo pretty big, so instead of walking around it, I decided to live it up, going on my very first hayride. That's where I met miniature cows, ponies, deer, pigs, and even a zebra named Zoe.
Zoe was so cute I wanted to take her home, and Jubilee Zoo showed me a way I could do just that; by stuffing a replica Zoe and then bringing her to life with a special heart.
Not only did I get to cuddle and feed cute animals, I even got to take one home with me!
And that's another reason I love the Ark-La-Tex.

Cracker is a British crime drama series produced by Granada Television for ITV and created and principally written by Jimmy McGovern. Set in Manchester, the series is centered on a criminal psychologist (or "cracker"), Dr Edward "Fitz" Fitzgerald, played by Robbie Coltrane, who works with the Greater Manchester Police to help them solve crimes. The show consists of three series which were originally aired from 1993 to 1995. A 100-minute special set in Hong Kong followed in 1996, and another two-hour story in 2006.
Fitz is a classic antihero, alcoholic, a chain smoker, obese, sedentary, addicted to gambling, manic, foul-mouthed and sarcastic, and yet cerebral and brilliant. He is a genius in his speciality: criminal psychology. As Fitz confesses in "Brotherly Love": "I drink too much, I smoke too much, I gamble too much. I am too much."
Each case spanned several episodes and cliffhangers were quite often used, but it was not until the end of the second series that a cliffhanger was employed to tie off the series. Some of the plotlines in the cases took as their starting point real events such as the Hillsborough disaster, while others were purely fictional with only tangential ties to actual events.
Several different psychotic types were explored during the run of the show with increasingly complex psychological motivations that, as the series entered the middle of the second series, began to expand beyond the criminals being investigated to the regular cast members. As the series moved forward the storylines became as much about the interactions of the regulars as it was about the crimes. In many later episodes, in fact, the crimes often became background to intense, provocative explorations of the police officers' reactions to the crimes they investigated.
To emphasise how fine a line the police (and Fitz) walk in their close association with criminals, all three series featured several stories in which the police themselves commit criminal acts or become victims of crime.
Although Jimmy McGovern wrote the majority of the early stories, Ted Whitehead contributed the fifth serial, "The Big Crunch". Claiming that he had "nothing more to write about,"[1] McGovern originally planned to leave after the second series, but was allowed to write the controversial rape storyline, "Men Should Weep", when he agreed to contribute a three-part story to the third series. Two of McGovern's stories, "To Say I Love You" and "Brotherly Love" (from the first and third series respectively), received Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America. Most of these episodes were directed by Tim Fywell.
Paul Abbott, who had produced the second series, wrote the remainder of the episodes (including the feature-length special "White Ghost"). Abbott later went on to create several high-profile dramas, including Touching Evil (1997), State of Play (2003) and Shameless (2004). Another crew member, Nicola Shindler, who worked as script editor on the programme, later went on to found the highly successful Red Production Company.
Of the regular cast, only Coltrane and Tomlinson featured in "White Ghost" (retitled "Lucky White Ghost" for some overseas markets), which was set in Hong Kong. Although the series was still drawing large audiences, after "White Ghost" Coltrane declined to return as Fitz unless McGovern returned to write the series.
Cracker returned to television screens a decade after "White Ghost" in the 2006 special episode, "Nine Eleven", written by McGovern and directed by Antonia Bird. The story saw the return of only Coltrane, Flynn and O'Brien in their previous roles. The new roles of DCI Walters, DS Saleh and DS McAllister were played by Richard Coyle, Nisha Nayar and Rafe Spall respectively. The story involved Fitz returning to Manchester after several years of living in Australia with Judith and his son James (who had been born during the final series of the original programme) to attend his daughter Katy's wedding. The murder of an American night club comedian sends the police to ask Fitz for his help.
The series was principally filmed in South Manchester, at locations including Didsbury (where Fitz lived at the fictitious address of "15 Charlotte Road"[2]) and the police station at Longsight. The internals for the police station were filmed in the old Daily Mirror offices in central Manchester, now The Printworks retail complex. Other Manchester locations included Victoria Railway Station, St Peter's Square, Old Trafford, the Arndale Centre, UMIST, University of Salford, the Ramada Hotel, the Star & Garter pub, Fairfield Street (opposite Piccadilly Station) and the Safeway supermarket (now Morrisons) in Chorlton-cum-Hardy.
Episodes varied in length from 50 to 120 minutes.
The original broadcast of episode one of the "Brotherly Love" story was an hour long (so 70 minutes with commercials) and shown on the Sunday before the regular Monday slot for the series. Further broadcasts of this episode, including VHS and DVD release, were edited down to the conventional 50 minute size.[3]

1-1 | "The Mad Woman in the Attic" | Jimmy McGovern | 2 | 27 September 1993 4 October 1993 | A young woman is brutally murdered on a train, the victim of a serial killer.

1-3 | "One Day a Lemming Will Fly" | Jimmy McGovern | 2 | 1 November 1993 8 November 1993 | The disappearance and death of a 13-year-old boy inflames the local community as a teacher becomes the prime suspect. But Fitz begins to have doubts about the teacher's guilt and attempts to convince Billborough that the truth is more important than a mere result that seems to fit. |
2-1 | "To Be a Somebody" | Jimmy McGovern | 3 | 10 October 1994 17 October 1994 24 October 1994 | A Pakistani shopkeeper is killed and a skinhead seen leaving the premises. The police are at first convinced that it is a racist killing until a white, English psychologist helping out with the case and DCI Billborough are murdered by the same man. Fitz, while facing his own problems with his family and a hurt Penhaligon, is brought in to investigate, convinced that the killer is not a mere racist hood but actually an ordinary citizen gone horribly wrong.

2-2 | "The Big Crunch" | Ted Whitehead | 3 | 31 October 1994 7 November 1994 14 November 1994 | A young girl missing for several days is discovered naked, covered in strange symbols and quoting the Bible. The trail leads to a fringe Christian sect and its charismatic leader. |
2-3 | "Men Should Weep" | Jimmy McGovern | 3 | 21 November 1994 28 November 1994 5 December 1994 | The case of a serial rapist who wears a mask, yet tries to develop a relationship with his victims strikes at the heart of Fitz's personal and professional life when Penhaligon is raped and the rapist, apparently acting on Fitz's advice, starts to kill as well. Meanwhile, Penhaligon begins to discover a connection between her rapist and Jimmy Beck. |
3-1 | "Brotherly Love" | Jimmy McGovern | 3 | 22 October 1995 23 October 1995 29 October 1995 | The brutal murder and violation of a prostitute quickly leads to an arrest, but while the suspect is in custody, an identical murder happens. At the same time, the death of Fitz's mother reunites him with his brother Danny, and Jimmy Beck, under long time stress from Bilborough's death, finally reaches his breaking point, leading to a devastating climax. |
3-2 | "Best Boys" | Paul Abbott | 2 | 6 November 1995 13 November 1995 | When the older Stuart Grady meets the teenage Bill Nash, the instant attraction between the two leads to murderous consequences. Meanwhile, the birth of Fitz's new son is not the solution to his marital strife that he expected, and Judith begins to seek solace with Danny. |
3-3 | "True Romance" | Paul Abbott | 2 | 20 November 1995 27 November 1995 | Fitz is the target of a secret admirer who is willing to kill – and keep killing – to get his attention, understanding and love, even if it means targeting Fitz's loved ones. |
Special episode | "White Ghost" | Paul Abbott | 1 | 28 October 1996 | While in Hong Kong on a lecture tour, Fitz is asked by the local police to help investigate the murder of a Chinese businessman. |
Special episode | "Cracker" (Original title) "Nine Eleven" (UK promo title) "A New Terror" (USA promo title) | Jimmy McGovern | 1 | 1 October 2006[4] | Fitz returns to Manchester for his daughter's wedding, but is soon involved in another murder investigation when an American comedian is killed, apparently without motive. |
In some respects, Cracker stories are structured like episodes of Columbo. They often begin by showing the criminal committing the crime, and so sidestep the whodunnit format which is the central attraction of many television crime dramas. Both series feature a lead character who solves crimes while masking an intelligent, perceptive nature behind a slobbish exterior; Fitz delivers his summing-up in "To Say I Love You" while doing a Peter Falk impression. However, while Lieutenant Columbo invariably solves each case to perfection, Fitz's involvement often only exacerbates the situation, for example leading police to arrest the wrong man ("One Day a Lemming Will Fly"), or unwittingly causing a serial rapist to murder his victim ("Men Should Weep").
Cracker's conception was also in some ways a reaction against the police procedural approach of fellow Granada crime serial Prime Suspect, placing more emphasis on emotional and psychological truth than on correct police procedure. In an interview with the NME, McGovern dismissed Prime Suspect, noting that "Good TV writing has narrative simplicity and emotional complexity," and characterising the series as "A narratively complex story going up its own arse." Gub Neal, who produced the first series of Cracker, is quoted as saying, "That we had adopted the right approach was confirmed for me when Jacky Malton, the senior woman police officer who advised on Prime Suspect, said that although the way things happened in Cracker was sometimes highly improbable, the relationships between the police were in many ways much more credible than they had been in Prime Suspect."
The "Men Should Weep" storyline was originally conceived as a plot for Prime Suspect, in which the series' protagonist, Jane Tennison, was raped.
In 1997 a short spoof episode, Prime Cracker, was produced for the BBC's biennial Red Nose Day charity telethon in aid of Comic Relief. A crossover with ITV stablemate crime drama Prime Suspect, the spoof starred Coltrane and Prime Suspect lead Helen Mirren as their characters from the respective series, sending up both shows.
In 1997 a 16-part US version of Cracker — directed by Stephen Cragg and Michael Fields — was made, starring Robert Pastorelli in Coltrane's role. The original UK story lines were transferred to Los Angeles. The series finished after the first season, and was regarded by critics as a poor copy of the original. It was said that the storylines failed to translate well into an American version. Nevertheless, it was broadcast in the UK, retitled Fitz.

Jacque Millican
Pre National/National, Head Coach
Jacqueline Fessel Millican
Nu Wave is proud to announce our new head coach Jacque Fessel Millican. Jacque was a nine time All-American swimmer at the University of Tennessee from 2002-2006. During her swimming career Jacque was the 2007 US National Champion in the 100m backstroke and also trained at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs where she worked with coaches from the United States National Team. Jacque also competed in the 2004 and 2008 Olympic Trials.
"I am extremely excited to be named the head coach of the NuWave Swim Team. I believe that this program is on the brink of doing something great and I am excited to be a part of it. This team has a tremendous amount of talented swimmers ready to break out. I am also excited to work with the NuWave coaches because I believe they have the ability and desire to take this program to the next level."
Jacque, who is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio, has been a swimmer since the age of 5. She brings to Nu Wave, experience as a youth, collegiate, and pro swimmer. She was a standout as a high school swimmer at St. Ursula Academy where she was named High School All-American each of her four years. She was the Greater Cincinnati League Champion in the 100-yard backstroke as a senior. Also in her senior year, she was team captain and claimed the 2002 Tammy Neighbor Award for outstanding achievement and leadership.
From there, Jacque went on to swim for the University of Tennessee from 2002-2006. She was a Southeastern Conference Academic All-American collegiate swimmer all four years. She won the Big Orange Award as a freshman in 2003 and served as team captain during the 2005-2006 season. In her sophomore year at Tennessee, she competed in the 2004 Olympic trials in Long Beach, CA.
During her time swimming for Tennessee, Jacque set records in both the 100 and 200-yard backstrokes, holding each of the Top 10 individual performances in the 100 back and half of the Top 10 individual spots in the 200 back.
Following college, Jacque continued her swimming career by swimming professionally for TYR Inc. She represented the TYR brand name while competing in their suits and wearing their apparel during the national competitions.
In 2007, at the Spring National Championship in East Meadow, N.Y., she finished first in the 100-meter backstroke. In 2008, Jacque competed in the Olympic trials in Omaha, Nebraska. At that time, she was ranked 4th in the United States and 20th in the world in the 100-meter backstroke. Through her training at the Olympic Training Center, Jacque acquired an abundance of technical knowledge, which she plans to bring as a major focus to the Nu Wave swim team.
Jacque graduated from Tennessee with a bachelor's degree in Journalism and Electronic Media. She is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Education at UNO and will graduate in May. She has been an assistant coach for the Southern Yacht club for the past two summers. Jacque also coached McGehee high school last year. From 2009-2011 she was the assistant coach for Tulane University.
Jacque is the daughter of Thomas and Venice Fessel. She has two brothers and one sister. She got married last April to Warren Millican. Warren works for the oil industry flying helicopters on and off shore, while also serving as a Captain in the Army National Guard flying helicopters for the United States of America.

Took myself about 3 hours to put everything together. Table top is very heavy and made of several pieces of wood glued together. The chairs are all wobbly as the feet do not all touch the ground as designed. Have to buy and stick on felt to level all the feet. Chairs feel firm to sit on, vinyl looks thin so may not last. The stitching on 3 of the 6 chairs are crooked so quality control is an issue here. Table is solid, leaf is stored under the table which is convenient. Overall, for the price, get another set.
Love this table thinks its very unique and the chairs are nice and slim so they don't take too much room and comfortable to sit in.
My husband and I like modern, unique furniture, but we also have a large extended family. Finding a modern, edgy table with enough room for 6 or 8 is hard! We looked at several stores, and they had a lot fo old fashioned, frumpy looking stuff, but that just wasn't for us. We didn't look on Overstock.com at first because we wanted to see everything in person. However, after several unsuccessful attempts at furniture galleries, we took a peek at O.co Like I said, we wanted to see in person, feel the quaility, etc..., but, we took a gamble, shelled out $1k, and prayed we didn't make a mistake! This table is beautiful! Heavy duty. very large (could seat 8 easy!), and for the price, it's great quality! Fairly easy to put together. The chairs look much better in person than on the site. Very true to color. Looks great in our formal dining room! Super fast shipping! Comes in 5 boxes, but the delivery guys carried them right in! Another great experience with the O.co!
This is a very nice dining set and very large. I was able to installed the whole set by myself. The table is quite heavy and you will need help moving it around. Delivery was quick and driver helped carry the boxes inside the kitchen. The only negative issue I noticed was the chairs wood workmanship which wasn't at best as some of the bolt holes were chipped which more of a QA/QC issue but doesn't really affect the quality of the product. Overall I recommend this product.
This was my first furniture purchase from Overstock, and the quality of this table - and the customer service - led to four more furniture purchases within the last two months. The color is beautiful and the table looks modern and classy. The weight of the wood speaks volumes, to me, as to the quality of the materials used. The chairs look fantastic and my family absolutely loves them. We spend WAY more time sitting at the dinner table together now!
I love this set, pefect in every way!!! the seats are comfortable & sturdy and the table, even though it is not real wood...which I wouldn't purchase real wood ever again...is easy to clean!!! Not to mention, there are no legs to bump chair legs on...it took almost 2 year for me to find a set I liked and would have spent up to 5k on one...
We were in desperate need to update our dining room. This set did not disappoint. The shape of the chairs and design of the table mix elegant and casual in the right mix for our needs. The espresso color is a rich dark brown, almost but not black. The bi-cast leather on the chairs seems a bit lighter than the wood which adds to the great look. We love our dining room now.
extremely heavy. you will definitely need some help if you have to move the package when it arrives. it took me over 3 hours to assemble the table and six chairs. all the parts were there and I was able to follow the directions without any problems. the table is very large and heavy. once assembled, this dining set with the leaf is very impressive.
I updated our dining room and this set looks very sharp with my taupe color walls and carpet. Easy to assemble. I wish it would have come with an extra leaf to enlarge the table but overall a very nice size. Great price for what you get. It's not heavy or bulky.

Last Thursday morning, Lipner took his campaign to the sidewalk in front of the Broward County Courthouse, where he greeted prospective voters who formed a queue outside the metal detectors. The next time Riptide heard from him, he was phoning from the padded walls of Tamarac's University Pavilion.
"I thought that would be a perfect place to ask for votes," Lipner explains. Instead he attracted the attention of cops. "The deputies came out and asked what I was doing. I said I was running for president — and they threw me in handcuffs. Do you see the problem I'm having here? Hillary and Barack run for president and everybody believes them, but the moment I try to run for president, they think I'm crazy."
Unfortunately the incident made it impossible for Lipner and his running mate, Jules, a Siberian husky, to make a photo shoot scheduled for the next day, filling the candidate with regret. "We had her groomed and everything," he says.
It would have been a photo for the ages.
Wild Ride
How does a nondriver get a ticket?
By Natalie O'Neill
Patrick Strachan might be the worst driver in Miami. The 49-year-old mystery novelist says he has been behind the wheel only once in his life.
As a nervous 16-year-old, he climbed into a driver's ed car, turned the key, and pressed the gas. Then he flew head-on into a group of bystanders and trampled a line of neon orange cones. A doctor later told him he had problems with peripheral vision in his right eye.
After that, Strachan decided he was a bus man. "I said, 'To hell with it,'" he says. "I kept running into things." For more than 30 years, he hitched rides with friends and took public transportation.
But last November, he decided enough was enough. A friend told him about a partially blind little old lady who had just gotten her license. "I thought, If she can do it, I can do it," he says. "I got sick of being a passenger."
But when Strachan showed up at the DMV to get his learner's permit, he found that he already somehow had a driving record dating back to 1992. Four tickets popped up in the system, including driving with an expired and a suspended license.
Public records show Strachan has never been issued a license, only an ID card. "Someone used my name," he says. His theory: A now-deceased older brother, who had run-ins with the law, posed as him.
So he challenged the tickets by writing a letter to the Bureau of Driver Improvement. It read, "I cannot drive. I cannot operate a motor vehicle. I can't even ride a bicycle."
Miami-Dade Police spokesman Delrish Moss says it's unlikely Strachan had his identity stolen. Instead, he might have acquired the charges without having been issued a license — for example, getting busted for driving without a license and not showing up in court. Strachan contends he wouldn't have known how to work the vehicle.
Last week, the officer who wrote Strachan's citation was scheduled to appear in court and identify him from more than 15 years ago. But the hearing was rescheduled to take place in 60 days.
Until then, Strachan says he won't need to drive; he'll be at home writing. His predicament has provided some new literary inspiration. "I feel like I'm living fiction," he says. "I think I'll write a dark comedy about it."

Don't you forget the echo's of time
Won't you regret the losing of minds?
In my dreams I'm searching across the desert sands for you
Scimitar moon is guiding me close to your side
Voyage, voyage
Voyage, voyage
Wilderness to wilderness I traveled from afar
On the soft wind of the night came, fragrance of araar
Splendor of a thousand suns shone glory in my path
No love more pure and rage more fierce could still my beating heart
Voyage, voyage
Voyage, voyage
So should I return to trace the shadows of my chases?
My step will echo there from sand to stone
I will never let my eyelids close on empty spaces
My dreams will fill the void with tales unknown
Know the mighty infinite obscures the far horizon
The whispered road I take will never bend
Alone and will the wind return my story to its promise?
Or will my story chase me to the end?
Aey hawa mere dilbar, woh mere pyar ke, geet sunah, haa
(Ahh, haa, haa, aaa)
Tu hai meri mayusee, bole pyar mere musafir, woh sadee
(Ohh, haa, haa, aaa)
Meree reshmee zulfe
Meree, meree reshmee zulfe, teree zanjeere
(Ahh, haa, haa, aaa)
Meree reshmee zulfe
Meree, meree reshmee zulfe, teree zanjeere
(Ohh, ooo, ooo, ooo)
Melodies unspoken
Flowing from the lotus of my heart
Ending where we start
Promises unbroken
Promising a never ending fire
Of love beyond desire
Ending where we start
