It's no surprise Mike Huckabee is the latest serious contender for the Republican presidential nomination. Turds always rise to the top of a sewer and the GOP has been a political cesspool for far too long.
As expected, the rabid right wing that dominates the Republican Party considers Huckabee their boy – a hardcore conservative who thinks abortion is murder, homosexuality is a sin and anyone who disagrees with self-righteous GOP rhetoric is a godless heathen who hates America.
Huckabee is the perfect Presidential candidate for the gaggle of dinosaurs called the Grand Old Party.
Unfortunately, I know Republicans all too well: I worked within the GOP for too many years as a Capitol Hill staffer, campaign operative and political consultant.
For too long, I took my money and looked the other way but I can never escape the shame of being a part of the GOP political system.
Politicians on both sides of the aisle are, for the most part, self-serving hacks with no regard for the Constitution they swear to uphold but Republicans are especially venal: Twisting religion, law and morality to fit their perverted view of the world.
They preach family values but Republicans rank among the top skirt chasers on the Hill. Former GOP Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich started an affair while one wife lay in a hospital bed. Then he began an affair with a House committee staffer while married to his second wife. Even grandfatherly Henry Hyde, who presided over the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, screwed around.
Republicans publicly decry homosexuality during the day and cruise the gay bars at night. Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho, the gay-bashing right-winger who tried to pick up an undercover cop in an airport men's room, is just the latest. The list of closet gay Republicans is almost as long as a compilation of lies by George W. Bush.
All politics is a cesspool filled with creatures from the Black Lagoon but the sewer where Republicans swim and frolic is exceptionally putrid because of the phony, self-righteous front the GOP hypocrites put before the public while enjoying uncontrolled debauchery back in their own toxic landfill.
Many pundits believe George W. Bush will go down as the worst President in American history – unless a Republican like Mike Huckabee becomes President.
Sewers run dark and deep. There's always another turd fighting to surface.
Hip Hip Horray….
Seal…I think you're on to something.

I've never understood why Christians want so much legislation unless it is simply to divide everyone in several categories. The truth is that these people are mean about their desire to label us all with insulting names.
The minute Bush was inaugurated, the whole system changed. His cabinet and white house filled up with men and women who claimed to be dedicated Christians. The religious right were in hog heaven. What appeared was a level of incompetence that was shocking. The threats to gays and women were constant.
I warned about putting him in the White House and I backed my warnings with statements that were not even bad enough to cover what this awful man has done.
I grew up in a Christian home and was told over and over that Jesus would always be my friend and protect me. What happened to that Jesus?
I did not stay a Christian when I saw the complete hypocrisy in the Birch Society and the hateful letters to the Editor to many of our local newpapers. Of course I read Elmer Gantry and found many of his traits in many of our local churches. What got to me was the anger and cruelty I found on the internet. The Christians declared a war on Americans and we are still fighting it here and now.
Those Conservative Sites are still angry and overly protective of Bush's actions. There is nothing that Bush can do wrong when they are told he is fighting and killing Islamic terrorists. These conservatives are fighting any alternative energy plans and want to take over the oil in the middle east and kill off anyone who stands in their way.
They will destroy any Democratic candidate and the latest attack is to write that Obama is a sissy boy.
Their end game is to prohibit abortions, gay marriages and anything that they can get into the federal laws. I doubt most of you could even imagine the hypocrisy found on these sites. I will not give out the addresses of these sites as many are involved in Reader Rant and I will never cross over sites with insults.
2008 will be a disaster for America if men like Romney, Huckabee, Tancredo or any one of them who does not believe in evolution gets 4 years in the White House.
SEAL, I made a commitment to vote for Paul in our primary and I most certainly will vote for Obama if he is the candidate. I no longer pay any allegiance to any party as both have merged into the septic tank Doug wrote about.
OK, then. That is enough. But the question now who is worse: Romney, Giuliani or Huckabee.
Being a New Yorker, I know Giuliani better than the others. He acted like he was the warden of New York, not the mayor. He scares me the most. Ron Paul is my choice. The rest are……turds with maggots in them.
I'm certainly no Huckabee fan, not even a Republican OR a Christian! But still, I don't think it is fair to judge a candidate on his statements of 15 years ago. If you want to go so far as calling somebody a turd, then you need to list his current positions, recent position changes, and recent actions.
Does he have political positions that we would not expect of a religious conservative GOP candidate? Has he changed those positions recently to pander to the Christian Conservatives to win the primamry? (And thus likely to flop back for the general election, if he wins the nomination?) Did he do something particularly outrageous as Governer?
In particular, since he is an ordained minister, has he done anything blatantly hypocritical like Senator Craig?
(I do know that he got caught up in an anti-Clinton group's efforts to free a prisoner, who later went on to commit some particulary heinous crimes. But that just makes him gullible, not fecal!)
Personally, I find all this commentary over the use of the word "turd" to be rather silly. Frankly, I consider every damn one of the repugnant candidates a piece of shit of some sort. Possibly Ron Paul excepted. But I don't like him for a president either.
The only man I ever came out in support of was John Kennedy. I also supported Bobby. But they only served as the lesson that you cannot challenge the real power in this nation, alone. The only way to get them out of power is a full blown revolution by the masses. That doesn't seem likely. They have always known how to leave the masses just enough illusion and comfort to keep them paying into the slush fund.
There is one point that needs to be made about all the front runners in this election. Obama has not taken one penny of contribution from any of the corporate structure. He has refused all their offers. That impresses me.
He evidently raised alot of money from employees
of big wall street firms.
As a libertarian, I can't fathom why you conservatives and former Republicans who are so disappointed in the candidates we have, can't support Ron Paul.
The most frequent criticism of Paul I hear is "he's loony."
Really? Precisely which stands that Ron Paul takes are "loony?" The stand against pointless wars on the far side of the globe?
The stand against the illegal and unconstitutional Federal Reserve System, which enriches private bankers at the expense of the rest of us?
The call for eliminating the Income Tax, which is an intrusive, privacy-destroying, Nazi-like relic of the early (fascist) 20th century?
Pray tell–in what exact way are Ron Paul's stands on the issues "loony?"
I'll show you "loony": the foreign policy stands of every Republican and Democratic presidential candidate with the exception of Ron Paul (and perhaps Dennis Kucinich).
Loony: the belief you can run up obscene government spending, year after year, and not eventually have to pay the price.
Loony: the belief that a government agency can take control of medicine and produce inexpensive, quality care.
And so forth….
He evidently raised alot of money from employees
of big wall street firms.
As did all the other candidates, stevepink. So what is your point? There is no appearance that any of the wall street companies pressured their employees to contribute to any special candidate. All the employees were divided in their support. Just because these were wall street employees has no special signifigance. Farmers and construction workers donated to different candidates, too.
The fact remains that Obama has refused to take any corporate donations and has actually returned some. The man has been true to his word. I am not campaigning for Obama but so far, he has conducted himself more like presidential material that any other I have seen. Perhaps you could say he is the best of a sorry lot. He is, also, the least known.
My primary concern is defeating Clinton and the fact is that Obama has the best chance of doing that. In my opinion Edwards is nothing but a glory hound who wants to be president.
I can't find anyone other than Ron Paul for whom I am willing to vote. There are stands he takes that concern me, but they concern me less than the overall stances of other major party candidates. They're all "glory hounds" who want to be president or at least to massage their massive egos – with the possible exception of Dr. Paul.
The composition of the SCOTUS concerns me deeply. There is likely to be at least one vacancy during the next presidential term. I can't imagine having a court even more strongly stacked towards the right. It would be like watching the Taney Court come back to life ala Dred Scott.
My vote won't got to any Republican with the exception of Paul. The Democrats are beyond the pale. I am beginning to understand why so many people don't bother to vote at all.

My fantasy: Paul wins his party nomination, Kucinich does not, and Paul chooses Kucinich as a running mate OR Paul loses, Kucinich wins and chooses Paul as VP.
Never in a billion years. Political parties are anathema to a truly democratic republic.

The more I see of the way we choose a president, the more I favor a parlimentarian form of government like Britian, Canada or just about any system other than ours. Candidates campaign for years, spending billions and we get the poor choices we have. The most experienced candidates are at the bottom, McCain, Dodd, Biden, and Richardson. The country is in such a mess, we do not need novices.
I have been voting since Kennedy/Nixon and there were only two in that period of time that I could truly support. Something is wrong with the system when Oprah and a candidate's faith become the dominant features of campaigns. Obama may be as wonderful as Oprah claims, but where is the beef, the experience, knowledge needed for today's realities. Forget the Republicans. There is no way I can vote GOP for the foreseeable future.
The original Constitutional system was actually far superior to the current system. Back then, the Electoral College actually meant something.
Originally, there were no direct elections for president at all! This is because the Founders, wisely, wanted to avoid having leaders chosen on the basis of popular delusions, like Bush's supposed "straight talking Texas honesty" (puke), or Huckabee's "folksy good humor." No, they wanted the President chosen on the basis of his character and his intellectual viewpoint.
The original Electoral College was to be appointed by the State Legislatures, in whatsoever manner they pleased, so long as the electors did not hold any federal government office. Thus, the legislature would scour the local communities for fine, upstanding citizens, and entrust them with the job of selecting the president.
There was no "winner take all" situation. Thus, a third of New York's (for example) electors could vote for candidate A, another third for candidate B, and another third for candidate C.
Only late in the 19th century did states give up their power to appoint electors, turning the whole thing over to the popular vote, which was what the Founders expressly did NOT want to happen. At this point, we moved to the "winner take all" electoral system.
Furthermore, the person with the SECOND MOST electoral votes became the Vice President. This was changed, if my memory serves me, by the eleventh Amendment. Had this not been passed, the Vice President would have served (as the Founders intended) as an important COUNTERBALANCE to the President, in his role as President of the Senate. Thus, the President and Vice President were rivals, rather than team-mates.
Imagine how much better things would have been if, for example, Bush had become President in 2000, but Gore became Vice President (rather than Cheney). Heck, we might have seen impeachment by now under the direction of the Vice President!
Mike Huckabee is just another Christian liar. He no more has a degree in religion than I do.
Mary, you are absolutely correct. It's oft been said that we reap what we sow. And our totally corrupt electoral system is proof of that fact.
The American political system generates and then throws millions upon millions of dollars in "campaign donations" at these clowns. And then we wonder why they are all corrupt.
I live in New Hampshire and am continually amazed at how many Presidential "wanabees" we have perpetually wandering through our State, raising money and forming "exploratory committees" to see if there's enough interest (spelled "money") for them to actually run in the New Hampshire Primary. This foolishness begins several YEARS before that event ever takes place. Our primary here is now less than a month away, but these clowns have been in "campaign mode"…and running around with their hands out… for well over three years now.
To me, there's something inherently wrong with a system that, by default, requires candidates for high office to generate millions upon millions of dollars, either from their own pockets or from seemingly endless fund-raising campaigns, just to get a job that pays far less than the average corporate CEO.
It also seems like all of our elected officials at the federal and state level are in a perpetual campaign mode even before the day they first take office. And when they are constantly campaigning, is it any wonder that money (and the pursuit of same) becomes their "Job #1"?
I can't help but compare and contrast such perpetual campaign foolishness with what our Canadian friends do come election time. There, once the sitting Prime Minister dissolves the Federal Parliament, the actual campaign to elect a new one seldom runs more than a month or so. That is, after a month or so of hard campaigning, the election is held…and then it's OVER!
And while there are four major political parties in Canada, by law, candidates from ALL minimally qualifying political parties must be listed on the ballot for each seat in Parliament. Noticeably absent is the two-party, totally corrupt "duopoly" of colluding "Republicrats" deciding who can (or can't) be included on a ballot besides themselves.
What's more, the elections are ALL federally funded and coordinated. So, once a political party selects their candidate to run for a seat in a particular district (they are called "ridings") qualifying candidates who also meet a certain minimum popularity threshold (based on results from a previous election) get a specified pot of money from the government to campaign with. And, once that pot of funds is gone, it's gone. Period.
Needless to say, what's really nice about this approach is that Canadians aren't also subjected to watching (or hearing) the same mud-slinging campaign ads over and over (and over again) in media assaults that can last a year or more in contested States or districts in the US. Their phones also don't ring off the hook with "push polls" and endless "get out the vote" calls come election time.
Keeping things "short and simple" makes grass-roots campaigns the norm rather than the exception in Canada. And, I believe a similar approach might also help keep a lot of the graft and corruption at all levels in our US Government to a bare minimum as well.
Sometimes, less really IS more.
It just was reported that when Huckabee was Governor of Arkansas, his son hung a dog by the neck when he was working at a summer camp. The kids were horrified and his father had the charges dropped. I don't have a link to this as it came over a news story on television.
Doug's term "TURD" certainly applies here.
Sandra–thanks for the link. What an incredible, lying sack of compost! I am ashamed to admit that even I, cynical as I am about politicians, was surprised the Huckster lied even about his "degree."
Another good Rant Doug, seems to be a continuation of yesterdays Rant.
This comment should cover both Rants.
Whatever happened to that faux journalist Jeff Gannon?
He could be a good source to get to the bottom of this pile of turds……………
We the people are very frustrated with the Bush regime and his form of Fascism.
Family Values! What a load of crap! This movement is nothing but a call for a Theocracy! I've warned about this for years and have been called a liar all over the internet. The problem is that Americans need religious leadership and are too damn lazy to attend church. They have had a reputation for being non-voters for years and are too lazy to get into the rules of politics.
Now that the Separation of Church and State is gone (thanks to faith based grants) we have seen the rise of illegal actions trying to get into our platforms.
I wake up every morning contemplating my decision of whether I want to vote for Socialism or a religious police state. My only action is to vote for Paul in the Primary and Obama in the final.
I've been in a state of depression over what has become of America. My greatest fear is that the American people will storm the White House and that will trigger the militia.
If Romney or Huckabee should win, I will never again vote as it shows me the insanity of the voters. I will never send another contribution to any candidate and will need some deep hypnosis to look for my sanity.
This election may be our last chance at freedom.
The Electoral College System
Is really to blame for all this 'voter insanity'. Who's to say the electoral college isn't the source of the good guys losing? I say the E/C needs to be shut down because I've thought for years that it is nothing, but, a big, fat scam. As for family values, I think that went out the window when the 70's ended.
As for who gets my vote next year, I don't consider any of these so-called 'hopefuls' worthy of the office of president. The fact that Oprah jumped on Obama's bandwagon, which I view as a stab at shameless self-promotion, is going to have some serious consequnces for Obama as Oprah is a talk-show host and not an experienced political activist.
This is going to be hilarious!
It's because of your years of working with
Republican in Washington that I have such
respect for your opinion. Unfortunately
I don't see any Democrat worth a shit either.
If you are going to call a man a turd and say he would be worse than Bush then you should list the reasons why he is such a turd, in your opinion. I don't have an opinion about Huckabee one way or the other, but calling a person names and not stating facts to support your opinion falls far below any standards of good writing. Let's hear it. Out with it.
Thought I did that in the second paragraph:
As expected, the rabid right wing that dominates the Republican Party considers Huckabee their boy – a hardcore conservative who thinks abortion is murder, homosexuality is a sin and anyone who disagrees with self-righteous GOP rhetoric is a godless heathen who hates America.
Need more?
That is a good start, but how can he be any more incompetent than Bush? Bush had everything handed to him in life and managed to screw everything up. I doubt Bush got to Yale on his academic merits. He failed as a officer-( a commission he did not earn.) a pilot, a businessman, a governor and a president. Can Huckabee be that bad? I doubt it. And his beliefs don't make him a turd, his actions do. Like it or not, he shares a lot of his beliefs with other Americans. Not that I would vote for him. I like Ron Paul, the only decent person running. So what turd-like things did Huckabees do?
From Thursday's CHB (in a column by Bonnie Erbe):
The latest Huckabee story is linked all over the Internet to its original sin (or should I say, original signpost on the Baptist Press Web site). It goes as follows. In 1998, Huckabee was one of 131 signatories to a full-page ad in USA Today extolling the virtues of the Bible's teachings on marriage—or what some Southern Baptists call the Bible's teachings. We all know religious extremists, as all extremists, skew their interpretations as markedly as politicians spin theirs.
The ad told Southern Baptists, "You are right" about a number of such biblical teachings:
"You are right because you called husbands to sacrificially love and lead their wives.
"You are right because you called wives to graciously submit to their husband's sacrificial leadership.
"You are right because you affirmed that the husband and wife are of equal worth before God."
It should have said, "You are Right, but you are wrong" (to wit, you are on the political Right, but the moral wrong). Husbands who believe they sacrificially "love and lead" their wives clearly do not view their wives as partners in life but as servants. Wives who "graciously submit" to their husbands are most often not submitting graciously, but because they have neither the economic wherewithal nor the education to be economically self-sufficient. And even if they are "gracious" at first, they rarely stay that way for long.
It gets even worse the deeper one digs into Huckabee's dark political past. The Associated Press re-released 229 answers Huckabee "offered as a 36-year-old Texarkana pastor during his first run for political office in 1992. In that unsuccessful race against Sen. Dale Bumpers, Huckabee offered himself as a social conservative and listed 'moral decay' as one of the top problems facing the country. Over the weekend, he said he wouldn't retract answers in which he advocated isolating AIDS patients from the general public, opposed increased funding for finding a cure and said homosexuality could be cured though he said today he might he phrase his answers 'a little differently.' "
As long as we are mucking around in the sewer today, how about giving us
The list of closet gay Republicans is almost as long as a compilation of lies by George W. Bush…
Name some names – let us know who the real hypocrites are. Don't stop at the republicans, though, give us the democrats, too. Washington D.C. is the holding tank for the dregs of America – lets put some names to the slime that is slithering around there. Let us know who the real pieces of sh!t are. The MSM isn't interested in spreading the truth around about the quality of our representatives and hired govenmental officials – I guess it is up to We The People to expose the holier than thou politicians for what they are – leaches.
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Mark Twain
In my opinion, if Huckabee is elected president, the American people might as well have voted for an Islamic radical like bin laden or the like.
Theocracy is the only agenda Huckabee has. There's no doubt that he believes that he is the gateway to the salvation of America's fall from grace.
TV soap writers couldn't write a more bizarre script for real life as we have come to know it.
Look at the headlines today on CHB. The government is in a meltdown. The canidates are not up to the task of trying to dig this country out of the hole bush has pushed us into. The democrats in Congress can't be counted on to deal effectively with protecting our country. It makes you wonder what is going to happen.
I though "Huck" was one of the few candidates with a sane policy toward the children of illegals until he accepted the backing of the Minutemen. I'd like to find one candidate who will state ideas and then not pander to the base when they conflict. Romney had a good Health plan but now acts like someone from MARS thought it up. UGH!!!
Let's all go out and work like hell for Obama and get him elected. If he turns out to be what Oprah says he is, maybe we will all get a new car.
"Oprah is a talk-show host and not an experienced political activist."
Imagine a debate between Oprah Winfrey and Mary Matalin. I'd love to be sitting in the front row next to James Carville.

Giffard Creme De Pamplemouse Rose Liqueur 750ml
Review Date: 11-22-2013
The very essence of a perfectly ripe pink grapefruit, lightly sweetened. This is absolutely extraordinary! A brilliant exhibit of the distiller's art. Bravo!!
Price: $26.99
Giffard Creme De Peche De Vigne Liqueur 750ml
Review Date: 11-22-2013
I have been lucky enough to have a dessert in a 3 Star Michelin restaurant made from Peche de vigne, the small peaches they used to grow among the vineyards in Burgundy. The flavor memory is distinct and fabulous. When I tasted and smelled this liqueur, I was in rapture. This is precisely that rich but delicate aroma and flavor. There is some sort of alchemical wizardry involved in the distilling, as I would not have thought it possible to so perfectly capture this delicate creature in a liqueur. In summary: THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED!!
Price: $26.99
Giffard Creme De Violette Liqueur 750ml
Review Date: 11-22-2013
I am often not a fan of Creme de Violette, as the process of extraction seems to me to sometimes produce a soapy, almost cloying quality. But here is the result when it is done to perfection. The color is a deep and satisfying violet hue, but the aromatics are pure and bright and the sweetness is extremely restrained in character. Very impressive, indeed.
Price: $26.99

High West "The 36th Vote" Barrel Aged Manhattan 750ml
Review Date: 12-30-2011
I was pretty skeptical about a premixed barrel aged Manhattan cocktail. I thought to myself it simply could not compare to making it from scratch. But after tasting the 36th vote i have to admit it really is a well integrated seamless tasting cocktail.Ready to serve just how you like yours!!

Ariston Aspasie Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne
Review Date: 2-27-2011
The Aristons' vineyards are vastly different than those of the the other blanc de blancs producers that we carry in the store. This is a creamy style Chardonnay Champagne that is always a crowd pleaser. An excellent value.

Antech "Brut Nature" Blanquette de Limoux
Review Date: 11-26-2010
This is an excellent value wine--clean,crisp and bone dry! It's a great alternative to Prosecco or Cava. Made in the true Champagne method with no dosage. A great aperitif.

Hits and misses of DIY projects, both big and small.
By Lindsey Bugbee
Tags: crafts, paper
Here's the plain and simple truth: I love to make things that would be easier to buy at the store. My days of yore as an intern at MOTHER EARTH NEWS are testament to this, as I blogged about topics such as how to make reusable bags and handmade gifts. And as I get older, I get even more determined to save money and make my world a little more unique through creative recycling.
Because Valentine's Day is a dream holiday for those of us who love sending things in the mail, I would like to share one of my favorite means of recycling paper: handmade envelopes. Handmade envelopes are extremely easy to make, and a great way to let your letter/card recipient know that you care and are willing to put in the extra time to make something special — while reusing materials! These instructions can be customized to any occasion, such as a birthday, save the date (pictured here), handmade wedding invitation, baby shower invitation, etc.
Right now, I happen to have a vintage atlas that I got free at a garage sale last summer. I have been using it to create handmade envelopes like a fiend. There are really no rules about the sort of paper you should use for handmade envelopes, though. I have made them out of everything from newspaper to large antique book pages. I'm sure you could also create them out of fabric with the help of some starch. Here are the step-by-step instructions. First, you'll want to trace around a template on your chosen material. You can create a template one of two ways: either carefully deconstruct a commercially-made envelope, or print out my handy envelope template.
After you have traced around the template, you'll want to cut it out and fold the bottom up, and then fold the sides in.
And when you have the sides folded in, trace around them on the bottom so you'll know where to put your glue. Fold the sides in on some small dots of glue … and you're done!
After you have made your envelope, you will probably want to glue a small square of light-colored paper on the front so you have an obvious place to write your recipient's address, like I did on this envelope made from a vintage book:
I recommend making a few handmade envelopes, then whipping up a batch of wet-to-seal vanilla envelope glue. Using this method means that your handmade envelopes will be good to go when you need them, just like commercial envelopes. It's always best to use wet-to-seal glue as opposed to a regular Elmer's-type glue on handmade envelopes because envelopes with wet-to-seal glue are much easier to open — and recipients won't have to decimate your carefully crafted envelope to get to your card/letter. To read a more in-depth tutorial on homemade envelopes, please visit my step-by-step article on my webiste, The Postman's Knock. Happy Valentine's Day!
Lindsey Bugbee is a former MOTHER EARTH NEWS editorial intern and founder/owner of The Postman's Knock, a custom graphic design and calligraphy company based in Boulder, Colo. This year, she's working on reviving her floundering garden and developing plenty of new ways to upcycle materials.
A recent study found that 63 percent of all couples plan to stay in for Valentine's Day this year. C...

Welcome to our June 2014 blog
Simplicity Sofas on How to Choose the Right Fabric Type
When shopping for fabrics, you'll find a vast array of different patterns, textures, abrasion factor and fiber contents to select from. But your choice will come down to two basic fabric types: natural fabrics and man-made fabrics. We talked about most of our options in our newsletter, but here is a couple more.
One of the most significant innovations in fabric technology in recent years is the advent of "Microfibers". When microfibers are used for home decor, the term "microfiber" is often used interchangeably with "microsuede" but there are some differences.
They come in a wide variety of colors and textures.. They drape beautifully and are soft and washable – perfect for almost any room in your home. These are my favorite!

Nylon Microfiber Polyester Nylon Microfiber Microdenier

What is Microfiber
Microfibers a rapidly growing category of fabrics. The term "Microfiber" is short for "Microdenier" fiber, which are ultrafine fibers that are less than 1 denier in size. Most micofibers are finer than the most delicate traditional silk fibers. In fact, microfibers are approximately 100 times finer than human hair!!!
Microfiber Fabrics can consist of polyester, nylon, rayon, acetate or a combination of those fibers and can be made to resemble many traditional fabrics including silks, suedes, twill or duck (denim-like) and more.
Microfiber versus Microsuede
One of the first Microfiber fabrics in 1980's was "Ultrasuede". Since then many companies have developed microsuede fabrics. Microsuedes are usually 100% polyester and look like suede.
Montana Buff Macrosuede Magenta Montana Navy Vevi Suede Celery
Advantages of Microfiber Fabrics
Since they are very fine, microfibers can be tightly woven or knit into a very high quality fabric. The denseness of the fibers in the fabric leads to many desirable characteristics.
Microfibers are usually:
Very Drapeable yet not flimsy;
Soft with a luxurious hand;
Washable, dry cleanable;
High Strength (except Rayon)
Water Resistant (water tends to bead up and run off);
More "Breathable" than Similar Fabrics made from traditional materials;
Opaque (you usually can't see through them);
Resist "Pilling" and Clinging;
Fade Resistant (take and hold dye well)
Lighter in weight than Similar "Traditional" Fabrics yet stronger and more durable
La Jolla Platinum
Acrylic: resists wear, lightweight
Developed as imitation wool, acrylic resists wrinkling, soiling and fading. Low-quality acrylic may tend to pill excessively in high-wear situations. Better-quality acrylics are manufactured to resist pilling. (Sunbrella is a good example of acrylic durability.)
What Is a Fabric Grade?
You may have to decide on a fabric grade. Fabric grades typically range from "1" on the less expensive end, to "6" (or "A" – "F")on the pricey side. Depending on the manufacturer, the grade of the fabric can vary. Intricacy of the weave, fiber content, construction and performance are all variables. But it's important to note that grade is NOT an indication of quality or durability. It's just an indicator of how expensive the fabric was to make. The trick is to read the details on the fabric card attached to the swatch and to make your decision accordingly.
Easy to care for and less expensive than leather. Vinyl is a practical choice for busy family rooms and children's furniture. There are many vinyl fabrics now that look and feel like leather.

Decorating with Flea Market Finds
Many of us have that little bit of the DIY in us as well as a good imagination. By using our time and a little effort, we can change just about anything old into something new that looks great for just a few dollars.
Here are a few ideas:
Paint and some square mirrors transformed this old end table.
Before After
Just by putting a set of three and some baby's breath gives these old buckets new life.
Here's an old TV cabinet transformed into a cute secretary. – Southern living
Faux bamboo chair had caning in disrepair. Reupholstered seat with a skirt and a new upholstered back turned this into a cute little chair. – Southern living
Barrel back chair had water damage and split wood at the seams, even with all that it had an airy feel. With some patching and repairing of the frame, some creamy white paint and new velvet fabric makes this a great accent. – Southern Living
This rocker was in a pile to be set on fire. It was made of good solid wood and just needed a home. New paint and upholstery turned this from trash to a little girl's treasure in her cottage style bedroom. – Lisa's Creative Designs
I love this one!
Turn an antique dresser into a bathroom vanity!
From HGTV
An old mirror, bottles and statue with a few accessories makes this a soft and peaceful mantel. Add some shells & coral for a great beach house look!

Simplicity Sofas Talks Spring!
Let's brighten up our spaces for spring and summer!
In our April newsletter we talked about adding slipcovers, changing out your throw pillows, curtains and area rugs to brighten up our space. Here are a few more ideas that can make a difference.
Have a fireplace? Clean it out and put a vase with flowers or candles in it.
Put away the fireplace tools and wood carriers and add plants, flowers or even candles to brighten that dark space.
You can add a colorful fireplace screen, you can purchase one or make one out of old interior window shutters or window. You can just paint it white or if you're crafty paint some flowers or plants on it.
Pinterest has lots of DIY ideas on these.
Bring in some cut flowers or even branches, put them in a vase and you have a fresh spring look.
Rearrange the furniture and swap pieces from other rooms.
Swap out your picture frames for a white, cream or natural color. If you don't want to swap out the frames, change out the picture mat. Rearrange your bookshelves.
A little spring cleaning and maybe freshen up the paint and you have a new room, ready for spring and summer!

Sofas, Sectionals and Sleepers for Small & Tight Spaces
Did you ever know someone who ran into this problem?
How about this problem?
Ever try getting a sofa let alone a sleeper up or down these staircases?
And this problem?
I have heard from so many customers about these problems and we were able to help them all. One customer sat on a chair for two years because she was unable to get a sofa into her apartment. Another finished her basement and realized she could not get any sofas down the stairs. Her contractor told her he would break open a wall for her to put in a sofa and would reseal it when she was done. More money to be spent and she would have to do it all over again if she ever decided to change her sofa! You can pay someone $500 or more to take apart your sofa and then put it back together. The problem is that the sofa was not meant to be taken apart and will never be the same as when you purchased it.
When purchasing a sofa (especially in areas like NYC) the sales representative should really ask: How wide is your doorway? Do you have narrow or spiral stairway? Do you have an elevator?
Once you make that purchase and they try to deliver it sometimes it's too late. Some companies will not take back the product, and others will charge you a restocking fee.
I love it when a customer calls and tells me I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!
Simplicity Sofas was designed to fit in an opening of 15" or wider and easy assembly or dis-assembly without any tools in 15 minutes.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Screw on legs Insert arms/tighten 3 prong knobs Lift and attach back
Step 4 Relax and Enjoy!

Need to remodel your RV? Simplicity Sofas has the answer!
New pull-out sofa beds for Small & Tight Spaces
They will fit through your RV door!!
Christy (shown with a full mattress)
Timothy (shown with a queen mattress)
I remodeled our 1999 Jayco in two weekends. The original colors were cream with blues and burgundy. I started by purchasing a new sofa (a sofa that fit through my RV door and was an easy install)!
Before After (New Sofa)!
Twillo Stone with Twillo Bluestone Welt
Once I put in the new sofa I decided to recover the cornices and make new curtains.
You can see the original ones in the Before picture above.
New covered cornices and curtains
The cornice fabric has cream, brown and a touch of the blue
Next I recovered the bench seats in the same fabric as the cornices. (I actually had someone else cover the bench seats because I hate working with zippers)!
(The bumper parts were covered in a brown fabric with specs of beige and blue)
As you can see, the difference is like night and day!
The bedroom area was next!
I purchased a beige maltase coverlet, brown sham and made the little throw pillow out of
left over fabric from the cornices and curtains. The cornices in the bedroom are a different
pattern than the main area, I didn't want them all to be the same. The bedroom cornice fabric has the same colors as the main area so it all works well together well.
The bathroom
I removed the accordian shower door, it just made it seem like I had less interior shower space and replaced it with a shower curtain. The shower curtain has the same colors as the rest of the camper and just made it useable as well as look much better. Put in a brown rug in front
of the sink and a hand towel in brown and blue. I also hung a basket over the toliet to store extra toilet tissue and hand towels.
The kitchen cornice was recovered in a solid brown fabric with specs of beige and blue (same as the bumper areas on the bench seats). I decided not to hand curtains in that kitchen window. I added some cute dish towels and area rug in front of the sink as well as in front of the sofa. That was it!
The next project is to remove the rug from the main living area and replace it with a nice
wood type vinyl. (This is something my husband is NOT looking forward to) I will most likely leave the rug on the slide out and in the bedroom area.
With a little imagination and some time you can update your RV TOO!

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Linemayr brothers make their mark at State Am
Wednesday, July 16, 2014
GOFFSTOWN — Hampton teenage brothers Max and Lukas Linemayr hung out near the top of the leaderboard at the Seacoast Am last month, finishing in a tie for sixth and eighth, respectively.
Cooper hoped to try it from a different angle this year, hampered by ligaments he tore in his ankle during his junior year at Bowling Green. His 76 on Tuesday — following an opening-round 82 — gave him hope to advance on Tuesday afternoon, even if he'd ultimately be two shots on the wrong side of the cutline when the final updates came.
The swing he showed off Tuesday was a 16-shot swing. His 1-under-par 71 in the morning was one of the best rounds of the day and had him hanging around the club for extra hours to see if he could sneak into a tiebreaking "march" and grab a spot in match play. |

None other than Drew "Next Question" Rosenhaus was on ESPNews' Hot List this evening and the subject of Belichick and the camera came up. I gotta say the man made a lot of sense... From memory.... - He strongly emphasized the severity of the punishment. Basically he said "I've brokered deals between teams where they would refuse to give up a seventh round draft pick and you're going to take away a first from the Patriots? That's unprecedented in the history of the NFL." - The other guy he was debating really wanted a Belichick suspension, but Rosenhaus was opposed to that. Rosenhaus also shot down the ridiculous comparison to Wade Wilson people like to make. - He complimented Belichick as a coach but also added "Bottom line is that it comes down to the players on the field to make the plays." I'll tell ya this... when I go pro, I will be hiring Rosenhaus as my agent..!!
IIRC, BB has only said good things about Drew R in the past. He says he is one of the better agents. IMO, they are two sides of the same coin -- both willing to put in the time & effort to be the best they are at what they do, and I think there is a mutual admiration/respect there.
I think you're right and I gotta tell ya I was a bit confused wondering what the connection was there...
the other guy wasn't the coach. He's just a syracuse guy. I believe the quote from Rosenhaus was I'd rather watch your syracuse women's tennis team rather than watch the NHL
Well, they have used that line before, and the guy sitting front row center looks a lot like the guy opposite Drew. http://www.suathletics.com/news/Tennis/2006/12/14/jensenITA.asp?path=Tennis?path
I believe he is the agent of Stallworth, Wilfork, and Izzo. Plus Mangini has beef with him after Rosenhaus released info about the severity of the calf injury to Thomas Jones. Mangini was furious.
what is he going do do come out and blast rosenhaus and call him a jerk? of course he has nice things to say about an agent.
BB has stated in the past that DR is one of the more knowledgeable agents about the game of football. BB claims that DR takes the time to know the team he is trying to sell his player to. However, he does want to make sure the team is the right fit for the player he represents. Hes a big shot, but a damn good agent IMO.
I agree he's a good agent... his problem was his most newsworthy client over the past few year, T.O., is an insufferable jack*ss.

Phillies 8, Rockies 5
Vance Worley got his first hit of the season by beating out an infield single, taking a face-first fall when he stepped awkwardly on the bag at the end of his frantic second-inning dash down the line.
Turns out he was just getting started.
Worley pitched into the seventh inning and hit a two-run double, Carlos Ruiz added a three-run homer, and the Philadelphia Phillies hung on to beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 Saturday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
''I think I had to fall on my face to really figure out how to hit,'' Worley quipped.
It didn't seem to hurt his pitching, either.
Worley (5-5) allowed two runs on eight hits in 6 2-3 innings. He struck out two and walked two, worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth and benefited from an especially strong outing by All-Star closer Jonathan Papelbon who quelled a late Rockies rally by getting five outs for his 19th save in 21 chances.
''He's been clutch,'' Worley said. ''Anytime we ask him to do his job, he comes out there and competes.''
With one out in the eighth, reliever Jake Diekman hit Tyler Colvin with a pitch and walked Jordan Pacheco. Brian Sanchez relieved and Wilin Rosario hit a three-run homer, pulling the Rockies to within 6-5.
''He tried to make a good pitch and I caught it on a good part of the bat,'' Rosario said. ''It wasn't like I was going to the plate looking for it.''
But Papelbon came on to get Josh Rutledge on a grounder and struck out pinch-hitter Jason Giambi to end the eighth. The Phillies gave him some breathing room in the top of the ninth with Shane Victorino's RBI triple and an RBI single by Chase Utley, his third hit of the game.
And Papelbon then closed out the game by retiring the top of the Rockies' order 1-2-3, pumping his fist when he fanned Carlos Gonzalez for the final out.
''We were talking at the All-Star game and saying that we have to pick it up in the second half,'' said Ruiz, a first-time All Star selection who joined Papelbon at the mid-summer classic. ''We know we've been struggling and this was a big moment for us, a big win for us.''
Worley wriggled out of a rocky fifth. Pinch-hitter Jonathan Hererra hit a one-out single to left, and after Dexter Fowler popped out, Marco Scutaro doubled. Gonzalez was intentionally walked to load the bases, bringing up Michael Cuddyer.
Cuddyer, who hit two grand slams earlier in the season, worked the count full before swinging and missing at a 90 mph fastball that Worley got past him to end the threat.
''I think that at bat set the tone for the rest of the game,'' Worley said. ''Ruiz set it up well. I think he was looking for something more offspeed and we ran (a fastball) right back over.''
In the sixth, Worley delivered at the plate, driving in a pair of runs with a two-out double. Juan Pierre began the rally with a two-out single and stole second. Mike Fontenot, who struck out in each of his first two at bats, was then walked intentionally to get to Worley, who drove reliever Adam Ottovino's offering the opposite way into the right field corner for his second hit of the game.
''It was up and away and rather than try to do too much with it, I just went with the pitch,'' Worley said.
Manager Jim Tracy said Worley's two-run double marked a turning point that was tough to overcome.
''Adam retires the first two, Juan Pierre gets the base hit and the no-ball, two-strike base hit by Worley was somewhat of a killer,'' Tracy said.
Worley's infield single in the second was his first hit in 22 at bats this season.
The Phillies jolted Jeremy Guthrie (3-9) with a four-run first. With one out, Victorino doubled and scored on Utley's single. Ryan Howard walked and Ruiz followed with a drive that cleared the fence in left-center for his 14th homer of the season.
Guthrie allowed four runs on seven hits in 4 2-3 innings in losing a sixth consecutive decision, including one as a reliever. He struck out three and walked two.
Rutledge, who had two hits and two RBIs in his major league debut the night before, scored the Rockies first run in the third when he walked, went to second on a sacrifice and scored on Fowler's single. One out later, Gonzalez scored Fowler with a double off the center field wall.
NOTES: Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay, on the disabled list since late May with a strained muscle on his right side, threw a bullpen session Saturday. No final decision has been announced, but there's a chance he could be activated Tuesday and start the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. ... RHP Jhoulys Chacin, who went on the DL with inflammation in his pitching shoulder on May 6, threw 25 pitches in a bullpen session earlier Saturday. Next up for Chacin is 30-pitch simulated game on Tuesday. ... Guthrie last won on May 31, beating Houston.

"What you cannot imagine, you cannot do" says astronaut Alvin Drew. Now imagine Astronauts on the Space Station reading stories to the children of Earth as the world rotates below. Imagine no more…it's Story Time from Space!
We have sent our first set of children's books to the International Space Station! This first set of 5 books are written by author Jeffrey Bennett.
While in space, astronauts are videotaping themselves reading these books the children of Earth. These videos are being edited and placed on this Story Time From Space website- look under the heading of "Stories". Astronauts on the ISS will also conduct and videotape educational demonstrations designed by Veteran Canadian Astronaut, Bjarni Tryggvason, to complement the science concepts found in the Story Time From Space books.

i wanted to buy some really good sounding speakers for my car without spending a fortune so i went with these because they were focal and it was a good price, however as well known as focal is for good sound these didn't seem like a big difference to me so i sold these and went with a pair of JL XR components for the same price basically and i am much happier with JLs second highest level speakers over these. they are good speakers but for the price u can get better.
yes they are FOCAL but they're entry level set so keep that in mind and don't hope for the world in these

Get AccessAbstract
In this paper we consider the question of solving equilibrium problems—formulated as complementarity problems and, more generally, mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints (MPECs)—as nonlinear programs, using an interior-point approach. These problems pose theoretical difficulties for nonlinear solvers, including interior-point methods. We examine the use of penalty methods to get around these difficulties and provide substantial numerical results. We go on to show that penalty methods can resolve some problems that interior-point algorithms encounter in general.

Fort Lauderdale , Florida
Tel: 954 524 4736
Concierge.com's insider take:
This Florida pioneer-style mansion was the home of Frank Stranahan, known as the Father of Fort Lauderdale, and his proto-feminist, yoga-crazy wife Ivy; they set up a trading post and bank here in the town's early days. Its interior has been lovingly restored and filled with period-specific ephemerathough it's the friendly, enthusiastic docents who really make a guided visit worthwhile. The exterior has also been carefully preserved, including the wide wraparound porch so typical of early Florida settlements; the forward-thinking Stranahan included an area outside where the Native Americans with whom he traded could pitch tents and bunk down for the night.

Broccoli-Cheddar Quiche
This versatile dish goes from brunch buffet to dinner table in a snap and is great with a leafy green salad. The flaky crust and custard filling make it a perfect vehicle for an array of mix-ins. Baking the crust before adding the filling, known as blind baking, ensures it won't get soggy. Our favorite pie dough recipe is Basic Pie Crust.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8
Source: Everyday Food, December 2011
- All-purpose flour, for rolling
- 1 homemade or store-bought single-crust pie dough
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups medium diced yellow onion (from 1 large onion)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 pound broccoli florets, steamed until crisp-tender
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar (4 ounces)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is dry and light golden, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Add onion, broccoli florets, and cheese and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, pour into crust, and bake until center of quiche is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

jh3 16 Sep, 2014
I made this recipe exactly as written and it turned out perfectly! There is no need to tweak it in any way. The proportions called for are just right. I have a bad habit of thinking, for example, that if say 1 cup of cheese is good then 2 would be better. That usually turns out to not be the case. This time I made myself follow the given recipe exactly ( believe me I wanted to add more cheese, but I didn't). It was delicious! I'm going to start actually following recipes now.
Eat Only If Its Oh So Good 28 Nov, 2013
This quiche was awesome. I used 1/2 yellow onion and 1/2 Vidalia and it was absolutely delish! The Vidalia gave it just a mild sweet flavor and the bacon balanced it out. I also sautéed red pepper with the onion for a nice color. As for the cheese I grated and added fresh extra sharp cheddar, mild brie, and havarti. It was super moist and cooked in exactly 40 minutes. Cooking the crust beforehand really worked -no soggy's. I rate this a 5 because I could and will make it over and over again.
bigAinsurance 10 Nov, 2013
My first attempt at making quiches...and Martha's recipe made it easier. The custard was perfect and everyone loved the flavor.
cellochick451 21 Oct, 2013
This is delicious. I ended up doubling the recipe but I didn't need to double the number of eggs. 6 was perfect. This is very delicious. I added thyme and a touch of paprika to give it a rounder flavor. Next time I will add bacon and cook the onion and broccoli in it. I substituted half and half for the heavy cream!
Raineva 21 Aug, 2013
I was disappointed in this recipe. I used the 6 eggs like the recipe called for and it ended up tasting too much like an omelet. My opinion is use less eggs, add more cheese and less onion. I love onion and put it in everything I can but it was too much, at least for myself and my family's taste.
ZandysMom1 2 Jun, 2013
Whew! Just made this after work and is the oven now. I had some leftover filling which I made into scrambled eggs for a late-night dinner. If the quiche tastes anything like the filling wow, it will be awesome! I also used Vidalia onions which really added a nice sweetness. Made my own crust though old-school style with shortening, etc. I just think it tastes better.

shiny, bright, sleek. amazing for the price. we'll see how it stands up to time (and water?)..
This ring turned my finger green...it was a complete waste of money
This ring is the fifth one I have bought in the Kate Bissett line. I just love the size and the color of this ring and all of the others I have.
I liked it very much. I would order it again if I wanted to. Sweet and dainty.
Very pretty ring BUT color does not look like the photo. I was looking for a fuschia ring to go with some earrings and this does ring does not. I kept it to wear with other light pink jewelry and to stack with some other rings I have...but I was disappointed that the color was not what I expected to get. Other than that, pretty and sparkly little band!

Were Justin's ears ringing? His on-again/off-again girlfriend Selena and BFF Jaden Smith went for dinner in London, and Justin was likely a topic of conversation!
Selena Gomez and Jaden Smith look so cute hanging out together! Following a romantic weekend with Justin Bieber in Las Vegas, Selena flew to London to promote her new album and she caught up with good friend Jaden for a bite to eat on May 23. What do you think they were saying about Justin?
Jaden Smith & Selena Gomez Dinner Date
Selena, 20, and Jaden, 14, dined together at Hakkasan in London, after they both appeared on The Graham Norton Show. It was a star studded night, because Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Justin Bartha from The Hangover III also dined there!
Selena looked stunning with red lipstick and a long sheer dress, and she and Jaden looked quite shy when going into the restaurant.
They must have been discussing Justin! Perhaps Selena told Jaden all about her date with Justin at the Billboard Awards!
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Cozy Up At Billboard Awards
Justin and Selena both attended the Billboard Awards on May 19, and they got really cozy backstage!
Justin was caught whispering sweet nothings to Selena in the front row of the audience, and the couple was also spotted hugging and kissing behind the scenes backstage!
Justin and Selena were seen bumping into each other and Selena tenderly wrapped her arm around Justin's neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
So cute!

Justin is rich and can have any female he wants and has billions of
Sperm. Selena is mexican and can get any negro she wants but
Only has one womb. Biological imperative for juju. Almost impossibe
For him to be faithful. Shawna, stop hitting on me and stop with
Anti racism crap. You are clearly insane

I really hope they dont get back together.He doesn't deserve Selena anymore. It was cute when they first started dating, but they cant relive the past.They're relationship is over. Justin isnt the same anymore. He's changed for the worst. He's been hanging with the wrong crowd and seems easily influenced. Selena Gomez deserves someone who will respect her and treat her right and someone who WONT CHEAT ON HER. Justin doesnt seem to treat her or give her the respect she deserves. They both need to be single.She's only 20, she has time to experience alot. He's 19, and rich he needs to be free and not tied down.

Last year Meathead gets pinched for scalping SB tickets - This year, after losing his job and being lucky enough to be picked up as an assistant for the Jags, Meathead forgets about that little "no tampering" rule and tells a Jacksonville radio station how he's talking to Vikings players about joining him in Florida. http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/sports/13788908.htm I think I'm going to trackTice down and sell him some "smart" pills (I'm having a sale - buy one for the price of two, get the second one free!)
What a class act! It's too bad the Jets did not hire him...... Once again I will say thank goodness for Bill Belichick!
I can't believe someone gave that idiot a job! The Vikes should have seen at least two NFC title games during his tenure. They had some very good teams that he let spin out of control. Maybe Moss was right all along.
Better yet, sell him a bunch, for say $3@, tell him to sell them for $2@ and make up for it on the volume.
Not entirely sure why, but I like Tice. Maybe it's the way he insists on having a pencil stuck behind his ear at all times.
