THE 2004 CAMPAIGN: NEW HAMPSHIRE; Next Week's Primary Suddenly Takes On a Different Look
By DAVID E. ROSENBAUM
Published: January 20, 2004
MANCHESTER, N.H., Jan. 19— Howard Dean's weakness in the Iowa caucuses on Monday night and the powerful showing there by Senators John Kerry and John Edwards indicate that Dr. Dean cannot rely on his strong organization to propel him to victory in the New Hampshire primary next week, political professionals here said.
Dr. Dean, former governor of neighboring Vermont, has been in the lead in New Hampshire polls for months and had been counting on what is far and away the largest and most enthusiastic statewide organization of any candidate. He has 14 offices around the state, about 125 paid staff members, 250 full-time interns who have been in New Hampshire all month and thousands of young volunteers who come and go day by day.
But as important as organization is in New Hampshire, it is even more critical in the caucus states, and it failed Dr. Dean in Iowa.
Linda L. Fowler, a political scientist at Dartmouth, said Monday night that Dr. Dean had been promoting a new formula that involved raising money and generating momentum over the Internet and getting many who had never voted before to support him.
''That formula was untested until tonight,'' Professor Fowler said, ''and the first road test was disappointing, to say the least.''
While Mr. Kerry seemed to be in the lead in New Hampshire early in the campaign, his candidacy began to falter last fall as Dr. Dean's gained strength. But the senator's supporters said Monday night that the Iowa success could help him rebound here.
''Certainly this gives us new momentum coming back into New Hampshire,'' said Jeanne Shaheen, former governor of the state and Mr. Kerry's national campaign chairwoman. ''But people from New Hampshire like to make up their own minds, so he'll be fighting for every vote here just like he did in Iowa.''
In recent days, the race here had been shaping up mainly as a battle between Dr. Dean and Gen. Wesley K. Clark, who, so that he could concentrate on New Hampshire, did not compete in Iowa. Speculation Monday night centered on whether it was Dr. Dean or General Clark who would be hurt more by any shift of voters here toward Senators Kerry and Edwards.
Just weeks ago General Clark himself was calling the New Hampshire primary ''a two-person race'' between himself and Dr. Dean. But ''I don't know what to call it now,'' he said Monday night in responding to Mr. Kerry's victory in Iowa.
Asked by reporters about competing against another military veteran in Mr. Kerry, the retired general quickly drew a distinction between his experience as NATO commander and Mr. Kerry's service as a Navy lieutenant in Vietnam.
''I've negotiated peace agreements,'' he said. ''I've led a major alliance in war. It's one thing to be a hero as a junior officer. He's done that, and I respect him for that. He's been a good senator. But I've had the military leadership at the top as well as at the bottom.''
At the Kerry headquarters on the third floor of what was once a giant textile mill on the Merrimack River here, about 200 people crowded in front of television sets Monday night, cheering wildly and pumping their fists at each new announcement of caucus results.
Across the parking lot, in a cavernous former cotton warehouse that serves as Dean headquarters, the workers sat soberly staring into computer monitors.
Over the years, the influence of the Iowa caucuses on the outcome of the primaries in New Hampshire has been mixed.
The most striking case was in 1984, when Gary Hart was a distant second in a crowded Democratic field in Iowa, winning barely a third as many votes as Walter F. Mondale. But the second-place finish was enough to call attention to the Hart candidacy among those Democrats who were cool to Mr. Mondale, and Mr. Hart went on to win in New Hampshire with 37 percent of the vote, to Mr. Mondale's 28 percent.
In 1976, Jimmy Carter's surprising victory in Iowa was one factor that helped him defeat Morris K. Udall in New Hampshire. And in 2000, Bill Bradley's rather poor showing in Iowa seemed to slow his candidacy here, and he went on to lose the primary narrowly to Al Gore.
On the other hand, though George Bush won the Iowa Republican caucuses in 1980, that did not help him in New Hampshire, where Ronald Reagan beat him by more than 2 to 1.
In 1988, the winners of the Iowa caucuses in both parties -- Richard A. Gephardt for the Democrats and Bob Dole for the Republicans -- faltered in New Hampshire, and their campaigns never regained steam.
In 2000, John McCain skipped the Iowa Republican caucuses, just as General Clark did this year. George W. Bush won in Iowa, but Mr. McCain defeated him here.
Dayton Duncan, who has been involved in Democratic politics in this state for more than 30 years and has written a history of New Hampshire primaries, said: ''Iowa is going to have an effect here. But you don't know what the effect is going to be.''

The Los Angeles Times reported that supporters of a controversial Republican-backed California ballot initiative that would award the state's electoral votes by congressional district portray the proposal "as a way to make California's elections fair." But the article did not mention opponents' argument that the measure would not "make California's elections fair." Further, the article did not note that several of the key initiative supporters it named are prominent Republicans, or that the initiative was endorsed by the party's state convention.
During post-debate discussion of the November 28 CNN/YouTube Republican debate, CNN's Anderson Cooper praised Mike Huckabee's response to the question, "The death penalty: What would Jesus do?" calling Huckabee's answer, "certainly, probably one of the best answers you could possibly come up to, to that question." However, Huckabee, who has repeatedly invoked Jesus Christ and Christianity to explain his position on matters of public policy, did not answer the question or Cooper's own follow-up.
On Fox & Friends First, Alisyn Camerota teased a report by stating, "Details on another alleged planted question by the Clinton camp at last night's [CNN/YouTube Republican] debate," referring to a questioner at the debate, retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr, a member of committees associated with Hillary Clinton's campaign. During a discussion of Kerr's involvement in the debate, on-screen captions read: "HILLARY'S STAND-IN: CLINTON PLANTS STAFFER AT DEBATE" and "PLANT MEDIA: GOP YOUTUBE DEBATE." But several hours earlier -- unmentioned on Fox & Friends First -- Fox News political field producer Jake Gibson reported online that Kerr told him that Kerr "was not contacted by the Clinton campaign to do this," had appeared at the debate without the prior knowledge of the campaign, and did not work for the Clinton campaign. Gibson added that Kerr's answer "seems genuine."
Reporting on a Republican-backed California ballot initiative that would award the state's electoral votes by congressional district, NPR correspondent Ina Jaffe aired an audio clip of Republican consultant Dave Gilliard, who asserted: "We want [presidential candidates] to come out here and actually campaign throughout California. We want them to go to the Central Valley, and Inland Empire, and the North Coast, and talk to Californians about what's important to California." In fact, California has only three congressional districts that Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) or President Bush carried by 5 percentage points or less during the 2004 election, and thus, if the initiative passed, campaigns would presumably have little incentive "to come out here and actually campaign." Further, Jaffe's report did not note one of the major arguments made in opposition to the California initiative -- that it reapportions the electoral votes of only California, rather than applying a nationwide standard for the distribution of electoral votes.
Several media outlets have reported on the latest ad released by Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign attacking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton over her support for an earmark funding a Woodstock Festival museum, but these outlets have not noted that McCain skipped the vote on removing the earmark.
Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz wrote that NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert "was ripped by liberal bloggers" after "he repeatedly pressed Hillary Clinton during a presidential debate." But Kurtz did not note that at least two of the questions Russert posed to Clinton included falsehoods.
The Associated Press reported that the Republican National Committee is "ask[ing] people to sign a petition to the Clintons asking them to release all the 78 million pages of records and 20 million e-mail messages at the [Clinton Presidential] library." But the article did not report that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has said that it "has reason to believe that many e-mails related to official government business may have been deleted from the RNC's servers."
Interviewing Barack Obama on Meet the Press, Tim Russert read a quote he attributed to Obama to suggest that he has "not been a leader against the [Iraq] war": "In July of 2004, Barack Obama: 'I'm not privy to Senate intelligence reports. ... What would I have done? I don't know,' in terms of how you would have voted on the war." Russert did not quote the very next sentence of Obama's statement, which was, "What I know is that from my vantage point the case was not made" for authorizing the war.
On Special Report, U.S. News & World Report senior writer Michael Barone asserted that an Oregon initiative that would have increased cigarette taxes to fund children's health care failed because Oregon voters did not want to pay higher taxes. Barone later claimed "the main reason" Utah voters rejected a statewide school voucher plan was "that there was a very big campaign put on against it by the National Education Association and other teacher unions." In fact, spending by an interest group also played a role in the Oregon vote -- tobacco companies reportedly spent $11.8 million in a campaign to defeat the Oregon initiative, nearly triple the $4.4 million reportedly spent by the "very big campaign" to defeat the Utah school voucher plan.
A New York Times article quoted Chris Matthews saying, "Deceit is what drives me crazy, either by Bill Clinton or the hawks in this administration." However, Media Matters for America has documented several instances in which Matthews has failed to note "deceit" by Rudy Giuliani. Despite evidence of Giuliani's "deceit," Matthews routinely praises Giuliani and his candidacy.

A proposal to reorganize the way the city investigates allegations of police misconduct could spark a debate at Friday's City Council meeting because of amendments that Council Member Cam Gordon said Thursday he plans to introduce.
The current proposal, which has the backing of the leadership of both the Minneapolis Police Department and Civil Rights Department, would replace the Civilian Review Authority with a new agency that would combine the police and citizen investigators into a single unit that would investigate complaints from citizens and recommend to the police chief whether an officer should be disciplined.
Gordon voted against the proposal at a meeting last week of the Public Safety Committee, which passed the measure 3 to 1 with one abstention. He announced Thursday at the council's Committee of the Whole that he will introduce three amendments on Friday. While he did not say so, the amendments would tilt the new agency somewhat more toward a civilian orientation.
Under the current proposal, complaints would be evaluated by a panel comprised of two civilians and two police officers. Gordon said he will introduce an amendment that would to the panel a fifth member who would be a civilian. A second amendment would create a "firewall" that would prohibit information about investigations from being circulated in the police department.
A third amendment, he said, would allow complainants to choose whether the investigation of their case would be done by a civilian or police investigator. Under the current proposal, there would be seven police investigators and two civilian investigators, and a complainant would have no voice in who does the investigation. Gordon said Thursday said he fears that under the current proposal most of the investigations would be done by police.
During the Committee of the Whole meeting on Thursday, no council member reacted when Gordon said he planned to introduce the amendments, and it is unclear whether any of them have a chance of passing.
Contacted by the Star Tribune, Velma Korbel, director of the city's Civil Rights Department and one of the architects of the original proposal, said Thursday that there are "lots of conversations that are happening." But she said she had no comment on Gordon's amendments.

Terror on the Inner Border
Or consider the story of Iraqi refugee Abdul Ameer Yousef Habeeb. On April 1, 2003, a few weeks after the start of military operations in the Gulf, Habeeb got off the Empire Builder in Havre to buy a soft drink in the station's waiting room. He was en route from Seattle, where he worked in a furniture warehouse, to Chicago and then on to Washington, where he says he'd been promised a job on a start-up Arabic-language newspaper.
Habeeb's brother had been killed by Saddam Hussein's security forces, his father had died in a suspicious car crash and Habeeb himself had been repeatedly tortured for what he understatedly terms "political problems" with the government. He had fled to Syria, been granted refugee status by the Immigration and Naturalization Service office in Athens, been issued a letter from the US Embassy in Damascus confirming his refugee status and in July 2002, through the Los Angeles airport, had been admitted to the United States as a refugee. From start to finish, the process had been well documented. Now, traveling within his new country, Habeeb wanted to put the past behind him.
"I see one guy in a uniform," Habeeb recalled almost two years later. "He looked to me for a minute, and that makes me worry. I tried to go back to the train. And when I tried, he followed me and stopped between me and the train. He ask me, 'Where are you from?' I said, 'I'm from Iraq.' He ask me how I get to America and what I'm doing here. I told him I'm a political refugee and the American government brought me here. I show him my documents, and he asks me many, many questions. Another guy in a uniform come and ask me questions. He ask me if I did the registration. I was really scared, and when I asked him what does 'the registration' mean, he said you have to go to office in Seattle to give fingerprints and photo."
The registration the Border Patrol agents were referring to is a "special registration" program enacted post-9/11 that mandates that immigrants from a list of countries, mainly in the Middle East, register on a regular basis with immigration authorities. The program, however, specifically excludes refugees. But Habeeb's papers were confiscated, he was arrested and questioned over several hours by Border Patrol and FBI agents. Habeeb had suddenly become Case No. HVR0304000003 A079 854 029. He claims he was put into a small room with cameras and a microphone, that he was asked whether he had friends from Saudi Arabia and whether he knew anyone who talked about America in a critical way. There was, he says, a small cage in the room, which he feared he would be put into, and on the wall, Habeeb claims, was a photograph of a bearded man tied to a chair with a rag around his eyes. Whether these allegations are true is impossible to confirm, since the Border Patrol refused to comment on the case.
Late that night the Iraqi was transferred to the county jail, where he spent three days being verbally tormented by inmates who sneeringly called him "Saddam."
From northern Montana Habeeb was flown to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Seattle, where he underwent more questioning. Brought before an immigration judge, with no attorney representing him, the refugee was again told--erroneously--that he had broken the law by not registering and that he would be deported.

Chapter One Early One Morning
Jessie woke just before dawn. She wasn't sure what had woken her. She sat up in bed and shivered. It was cold. Very cold. And she felt uneasy — as though something was wrong.
She listened, but Blue Moon was silent. There wasn't a sound anywhere in the old house. Everything was dark and still. She shivered again. The breeze coming through her bedroom window was icy.
"There's snow about," Granny had said the night before, as Jessie's mother, Rosemary, added a log to the crackling fire in the living room. "I'd say there'll be a fall tonight or tomorrow. Just in time for the Festival."
Remembering this, Jessie turned quickly to look out into the garden. It was still dark but she could see that there was no snow outside. Just frost, white and hard, icing the grass.
Maybe it'll snow later, thought Jessie. Oh, I hope it does.
She lay down again and cuddled deep under her quilt. It was Saturday, the day of the Winter Festival. This afternoon she was singing with the school choir at a concert in the town hall. Afterward there would be a barbecue and fireworks and dancing in the park.
Jessie knew it was going to be a tiring day. She should get some more sleep. But somehow she didn't feel like sleeping at all. That strange fearful feeling was still with her. Even the thought of snow hadn't driven it away.
Jessie closed her eyes and lay still, trying to let her mind drift. She used all the ways she knew to make herself slip back into sleep.
She counted slowly to a hundred. Then she tried to think of things that made her feel happy and peaceful. She thought of her mother, and Granny, and Granny's big ginger cat, Flynn, all fastasleep in their beds. And, of course, she thought of the magical world of the Realm.
No one but Jessie and her grandmother knew about the invisible Door at the bottom of the Blue Moon garden. No one else knew about the enchanting fairy world beyond. Jessie had discovered them both by accident. But of course Granny had known about them all her life.
Snuggled under the covers, her eyes tightly closed, Jessie smiled. It was still so amazing to think that her own grandmother had been born in the Realm. That she was its rightful Queen, but had left it, long ago, to marry Robert Belairs, the human man she loved.
Robert had lived at Blue Moon. He'd discovered the secret Door. During his life he'd become famous for his wonderful paintings of the Realm.
Of course, everyone thought Robert Belairs had just imagined these magical fairy scenes that appeared in so many books, and hung in art galleries all over the world. But Jessie knew her grandfather had painted things he'd really seen. Fairies and elves. Mermaids and unicorns and miniature horses. Gnomes, pixies, and dwarfs. And so much more.
Jessie thought about all the extraordinary things she herself had seen and done since she had found the secret Door. She thought about all her Realm friends, especially Maybelle the miniature horse, Giff the elf, and Patrice, the palace housekeeper.
On the table beside her bed lay Jessie's charm bracelet. Every charm had been given to her by the Folk of the Realm, to remind her of her Realm adventures. As if she could ever forget. How could anyone forget such magical, exciting times?
Jessie knew she was very lucky to have found the Realm. And she was very lucky to have such aspecial grandmother.
Her thoughts drifted on. What would her friends think, if they knew? To them, Granny was just Mrs. Jessica Belairs of Blue Moon. Jessie's grandmother. Rosemary's mother. A widow now, since Jessie's grandfather had died. An old lady with sparkling green eyes, white hair, and a soft, laughing voice.
They didn't know how special she was. But everyone loved her. Except, of course . . .
Jessie turned over restlessly. She'd started thinking of something that didn't make her happy. The problem of the next-door neighbors — the Bins family.
Most people thought Granny was unusual, because she talked to her cat, and enjoyed walking in the rain, and things like that. But they liked her just the way she was.
The Bins family didn't. Mr. and Mrs. Bins, and their daughter, Irena, thought Granny was crazy. They never stopped making jokes about her and causing trouble. And now that Mr. Bins was town mayor, he was ruder and more unpleasant than ever. He seemed to think he was so important that he could say and do anything he wanted to.
At school Irena was always giggling and whispering to her friends about mad old Mrs. Belairs, and the latest loopy thing she'd done.
Jessie's own friends told her not to take any notice. But she couldn't help it. And just lately everything had become even worse. Because of Grey Prince.
Grey Prince was Irena's pony. She asked and asked her parents for a horse, and when they finally bought the pretty gray pony for her, she was very pleased and proud. She talked about him all the time, brought all her friends to see him, and rode him every day.
But after a while she became bored with him. She said grooming and feedinghim was a lot of trouble and took too much of her time. She started begging her parents for a new bike. And once she had that, she stopped riding Grey Prince every day. She went out on her bike with her friends instead.
As the months went by, Irena spent less and less time with Grey Prince. Every day he stood, lonely, in his paddock at the bottom of the Bins' garden. His shiny coat grew dull and rough. His mane and tail were tangled with prickles and burrs.

Picks: Oregon will beat UCLA
Predicting Week 9's big games, including Ducks-Bruins and Gamecocks-Tigers
Each week during the 2013 college football season, I will offer up my picks and scores for the biggest games, in addition to a handful of other key matchups.
Week 8 is in the books and my picks went 5-4 due to several upsets in SEC play. My overall record stands at 55-17.
After a week that featured a huge shakeup in the polls, Week 9 brings us four matchups involving ranked teams and a couple of other intriguing conference tilts.
No. 12 UCLA Bruins at No. 3 Oregon Ducks
Saturday at 7 p.m. ET, ESPN
These two last met in the 2011 Pac-12 championship game as the Ducks beat the Bruins 49-31 at home. Flash forward to this year, and the Bruins are playing in the tail end of the toughest back-to-back road trip that any team faces in college football this year.

I took my teenage daughter to an advanced screening in LA at Paramount Pictures (we know an exec there). She begged me to join Rotten Tomatoes and post my review. So here goes. I am a major Jack Reacher fan (Reacher Creature). I was VERY confused when I heard Tom Cruise was cast. But now that I have seen the movie I have to say that I was VERY impressed. The movie is fantastic (which is why my daughter wants me to post). Tom is fearless as Reacher- he's tough, strong, takes no BS, and when up against the bad guys he does exactly what Reacher does, he wastes no time. My personal favorite was Robert Duvall (I've loved him for years). I've told all my Reacher fans to go see the movie when it comes out. They will love it, too. Two very interesting tid bits for movie buffs. 1) The trailer shows the side of a mountain blowing up. That never happened in the version of the movie we saw. 2) A popular young actress just did an online interview and claims to appear in the last scene as Reacher's girlfriend. As anyone knows, Reacher doesn't have a girlfriend. But more importantly, that is not the final scene of the movie we saw. Our version was on a bus and was the PERFECT ending to the story.

Carrot-Parsnip Gratin
From EatingWell: November/December 2011
Make this creamy carrot-and-parsnip casserole for your next holiday meal—everyone will beg you for the recipe! Our healthier version skips the heavy cream and butter found in most recipes—saving about 160 calories and 12 grams of saturated fat compared to a traditional version.
Makes: 8 servings, about 1 cup each

- 5 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 4 cups)
- 5 large parsnips, peeled, cored (see Tips) and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices (about 4 cups)
- 2-3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white or black pepper
- 2 1/2 cups low-fat milk
- 1 1/2 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs (see Tips) or 1/2 cup shredded or crumbled cheese
- Position racks in upper and lower third of oven; preheat to 425°F.
- Toss carrots and parsnips in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon oil until well coated. Divide between 2 baking sheets and spread in an even layer. Roast the vegetables, stirring once and rotating the pans top to bottom about halfway through, until tender and beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until very soft and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add flour, salt and pepper; cook, stirring, for 1 minute more. Add milk and continue to stir, scraping up any browned bits. Cook, stirring, until the sauce bubbles and thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat. (See Tips.)
- When the vegetables are done, remove from the oven. Preheat the broiler.
- Transfer half the carrots and parsnips to a 2-quart, broiler-safe baking dish. Spread half the sauce over the vegetables. Add the remaining vegetables and top with the remaining sauce
- Combine breadcrumbs and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl (skip this step if you are topping with cheese).
- Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture (or cheese) over the gratin. Place under the broiler and broil, watching closely, until the gratin is bubbling and beginning to brown on top, 1 to 5 minutes, depending on your broiler. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Roast vegetables (Step 2) up to 30 minutes ahead. Prepare the sauce (Step 3), cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day; gently reheat until steaming before combining with the vegetables.
- Tips: To prep parsnips, peel with a vegetable peeler, then quarter lengthwise and cut out the fibrous, woody core with a paring knife before dicing.
- To make your own fresh breadcrumbs, trim crusts from whole-wheat bread. Tear bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice of bread makes about 1/2 cup fresh breadcrumbs.
- To add extra flavor to the cream sauce, at the end of Step 3 stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, sage or parsley. Or make it cheesy by stirring in 1/2 cup shredded or crumbled cheese, such as Gruyère, Swiss, Cheddar or blue cheese.

Tomato Soft Spots
Hi! I'm having problems with my tomato garden. Most of the tomatoes (primarily big boy, big whopper, beefsteak), with the exception of the black prince, keep developing soft spots before they are ripe and ready to pick. I read the other post about blossom end rot, but I don't think this is what the tomatoes have. The soft spots are closer to the top near the stem. Could this be caused by the same reasons as blossom end rot? Is there something I could do now to correct this?
This could be from a wide variety of reasons, ranging from a sudden growth spurt to an insect munching away inside. Is there any cracking of the fruit at the stem involved? Do you see a small hole in the side of the tomaot that might indicate the Tomato Fruitworm entered?
There is cracking on some of the tomatoes, but not all. I do not see any small holes. I have been spraying the plants with cayenne pepper spray I've made, to prevent insects from eating at the fruit. The soft spot problem has been occuring since before I began spraying though, so I don't think it is from the spray.

Logic Systems Deploys JBL SRX Subwoofers For Regional Entertainment Events
Logic Systems Sound and Lighting, a 20-year-old audio/video production company based in Valley Park, Missouri, continues to deploy JBL SRX728 subwoofers for events ranging from live concerts to presidential rallies across the Midwest. With a large arsenal of the subwoofers, owner Chip Self and his staff not only provide superior sound to the rental firmâs events, but also highlight the SRX728âs capabilities during local subwoofer technology workshops.
In his search for a subwoofer to replace his older, previous units, Self hoped to upgrade with a reliable, lightweight and durable loudspeaker that could be used for any venue or event. As an authorized JBL repair facility as well, Self had ever only seen one JBL SRX728 unit in for repair, which was ultimately how he was able to test it.
âThe customerâs SRX728 impressed us because it was the first one we had ever seen come into our repair shop, even after they had been available on the market for well over a year,â? stated Self. âWeâve had great success with our own 728âs and even now, we have only ever seen two or three units in for repair, which is very impressive considering the number of these subwoofers circulating in the market today.â?
Logic Systems crews have deployed their SRXâs for a variety of events including: the MidAmerica Concert Series; Live on the Levee Concert Series; Lilâ Wayne in the Round at St. Louis University; Nelly live at the Contemporary Art Museum in St. Louis; and the famous Rib America barbecue and musical festival in Missouri.
âThe JBL subwoofers are easily transported and stacked at any event, and their quality is by far the best in the industry,â? Self said. âConsidering the extent to which we push our equipment, the durability alone is a major reason we stick with them.â?

Trading BOs
Is it possible to "decommission" a BO to trade to another character/player, or are you only able to trade "non-commissioned" BOs?
nope.... that sucks too because they said we would be able to train and trade them...
Yeah, I thought I remembered reading that somewhere.
I haven't actually tried trading BO's as in physically handing it off from one captain to another, but I imagine it's no different than how you place them in the AH/Exchange.
To train your own BO, first it must be of the same department field as you, and second, you must have a skill maxed out in order to train. For example, To train an engineer Recharge Shields III, you must also be an engineer and max out Engineering: Personal Shields.
I haven't tried to train anyone else's BO yet, but I imagine it has to have the same prerequisites (needs to be the same department as you (the trainer), and you must have a skill maxed out that you can give to that department type. I'm not sure how the interface would work since I don't think you can place BO's that have joined a crew already in the trade window for training.
I also haven't really seen any skills worth training since they all seem to be level III versions of basic skills.
Yeah, I traded two BO's that weren't assigned between my two characters, but I was wondering about BO's that were already assigned. It seems the only option with them is to dismiss them, and then you lose them altogether.

As I approach my 45th year on this planet, it occurred to me that my longest relationship was also my most dysfunctional. So when I ended it, or I guess I should say changed it, last fall, I never realized how much my life would be better. For over 44 years it raised me, made me laugh, cry, cheer, and provided me with more entertainment than my mind can even remember. Then I decided it was hurting me, so I said enough was enough and cut the cord to the direct cable television line coming into my house.
I wouldn't say I was addicted to the tube of boob but I was negatively influenced. During the government shutdown in 2013, after countless hours of cable news and political programming, my wife woke me from a violent nightmare and said "that's it, you have to stop watching that crap." My three daughters created stand up comedy acts and satirical skits imitating me screaming at the small screen when the New York Jets, Alabama Crimson Tide or Atlanta Falcons lost another football game. I can't even bring myself to talk about what I did when LOST ran that ridiculous series finale a few years ago.
On October 1st, 2014, approaching six months ago, we decided to get rid of our live cable feed and depend solely on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon (Prime) to watch recorded shows. This means live sporting events, news programs, and basic cable no longer happen. Not only do we; me, my wife, and three daughters, aged 19, 11 and 10, not watch t.v. like our parents or grandparents did, but we don't even view it like the majority of people our age. It's changed our family dynamic.
It seems like everyone complains about technology and so many are convinced society went to hell in knockoff handbag 30 years ago when MTV showed Madonna's bottom in a wedding dress. I can't name anyone who hasn't whined about people being addicted to their "smart" phones and the ability to ruin someone's existence with a naked picture in less than a second. But I contend the way we've watched regular television is every bit an issue and that even means Andy Griffith Show reruns on TV Land, which I can no longer view.
Since cutting cable, my family is tighter, more conversational, and kinder. Sure, we "binge-watch", which wasn't even a term until like a year ago, shows on the networks we still have in the home. But we watch together, hit pause or stop when someone wants to talk, make a meal or do an old bit about me screaming at the Jets' Mark Sanchez throwing a pick six against the Patriots in " the old days" when we had cable.
Tossing the main line has turned us into a bunch that hangs out together. My girls don't lock themselves in their rooms to watch their tvs or phones. My wife and I only view television together, although Netflix adultery is a thing, I'm less inclined to commit it because I'll reveal my indiscretion over social media because I still have a problem with that. There's less complaining about people staring at their phones and computers.
I was all for cutting cable because it dropped our entertainment budget by over sixty percent. I don't miss sports or politics or live news because the internet, the media that are social, phone apps and online newspapers provide me with what I need, but I want it all less than I did before and I usually only view them while I'm in the same room with my wife and kids while they watch some show on the services we kept.
Television used to be the event where I separated myself from my family to escape, Now, tv has turned into a party, where all the attendees are focused on each other, unless something cool is happening on Twitter.

This short and easy loop in the north end of Franklin Canyon Park is a great introduction to the area – and a reminder of what kinds of hidden gems are scattered all over the city. There are lots of opportunities to leave the reservoir loop to explore the park – or just sit by the shores and birdwatch, too. This is also where the opening to "The Andy Griffith Show" was filmed – as well as one of the sites of Camp Anawana from Nickelodeon's "Salute Your Shorts."
On my initial trip to Franklin Canyon Park, I wanted to try to do a large loop that linked the southern and northern portions of the park together – but I was thwarted by some confusing maps and unsigned trails. Instead, I split my trip into two separate loop hikes.
This northern loop is shorter, flatter, and generally pretty easy all-around. For the purposes of this write up, I started on the ranch trail near the intersection of Lake Drive and Franklin Canyon Drive, but you could pretty much hop onto this loop from anywhere along the route. Parking is very limited at this intersection, but there's plenty of room further north or south.
If you start at this intersection, across the street from the old building there's a short wooden bridge over a creekbed. Cross it and continue climbing up into the shaded forest.
In a very short distance – about 225 feet – this spur trail intersects with the Ranch Trail at a sharp corner. Bear left to follow the trail north, parallel with Franklin Canyon Drive.
Here, the trail levels out a bit as it meanders through the woods toward the Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir. This is a short but really lovely stretch of trail that at times doesn't even feel like it's in Southern California – and it certainly doesn't feel right outside Beverly Hills.
Ignore the trail to your left at around the 0.3 mile mark and continue on the Ranch Trail until you end up at a street crossing near one of the park's many motion-sensor traffic cameras.
Cross the intersection straight ahead toward the information sign and you'll end up right along the shore of Upper Franklin Canyon Reservoir.
From here, the trail pretty much follows the shore of the reservoir around the entire body of water. When I went, there were a TON of birds – especially ducks – all over the place. And in many part of the trail, it felt like I was walking through a saltwater marsh somewhere on the coast, not near a reservoir in the middle of the mountains.
Also, if you've got a hankering to recreate the opening credits of The Andy Griffith Show, now's the time to do it.
This path loops around the north side of the lake and leaves the shore on the west bank to rejoin the road after making its way through a small grove of evergreens. From here, you can cross the street and make a very short loop around Heavenly Pond, another favorite hangout for the local duck population.
After returning from Heavenly Pond, rejoin Franklin Canyon Drive and head south. You can either rejoin the trail at the intersection or just follow the road back to the intersection with Lake Drive.

We started here today, same bridge and steps but we ended up on Ranch Trail which does not loop back down to the road. It gets narrow and steep and eventually dead-ends at someone's back yard (a house up on Beverly Ridge Terrace). The descent was very difficult with lots of trail branches that end nowhere. It may be in the heart of a residential area but all the same I was happy it was not close to daylight's end. Like some other trails marked on the map here, this one was almost disused and overgrown. This whole canyon could do with some markers and signposts on all these small animal, fire, wash and natural breaks that look just like trails, but may not be trails.
We are planning a trip to LA and wonder if we could get very specific directions to the site in Franklin Canyon Park where the Andy Griffith opening scene was filmed?
Thank You,
Ron Wilson

I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at Halliburton in November 2008.Interview Details
There was actually, there was no Interview at all. I was referred by a friend and applied online. About a month went by and all of the sudden I got an offer in Email. I thought it very odd, but upon calling the offer was truly legit. At the time I didn't have any other offers and had a family to feed, so I took it. Looking back, I realized why they use this tactic. If applicants and any idea what they were getting themselves into, for most there wouldn't be a second thought. The working conditions are just that bad. Also, I found out that my "friend" was just looking to recruit people because as a referred employee you are worth in excess of $1,000 in bonus to the guy that refers you.

Posted by brit on Monday, April 28, 2008 at 6:43pm.
Multiply both sides by b. (I am assuming that (b+1) and (b-1) are not denominators.)
3b-2+b = 4b-b(b+2/b-1)
3b-2+b = 4b-b^2-2+b
(b^2 = b squared.)
Combine like terms.
2b-2 = 5b-b^2-2
Add 2 to both sides.
2b = 5b-b^2
Bring all terms to the left side of the equation.
b^2-3b = 0
b(b-3) = 0
Therefore b = 3 or 0.
I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.

When the Rain Sings
Poems by Young Native Americans
Reviewed by
Teresa Scollon
Maybe we expect too little of children. Some adults write simple sing-song rhyming verse for kids that is painful to review. In contrast, this book puts the pen into the childrens hands, and the poems they write are small, clear windows through which we can see the world. This anthology first appeared in 1999, published (and printed twice) by Simon and Schuster. The book was conceived in 1996 by the Wordcraft Circle of Native Writers and Storytellers as an opportunity for native children to interact with photographs of native artifacts. Children were given photos and asked to write in response; some poems were matched with a photograph later. Arranged by tribe, the childrens poems appear with beautiful photographs of people and artifacts. This edition corrects the first and adds additional illustrations. The poems weave a bridge between the artifacts of culture with the childrens current experience of it. "Im a rough / and tough buffalo / and I am really cool, too," writes Dewayne Mix (Pima). Davina Valencia (Yaqui) writes, "It looked like / lightning beside me / when my mom and dad / got divorced." Generously illustrated and filled with the honest voices of the young, this book may be "the words to the song of life, / the past, and tomorrow." (Patrick Lewis-Jose, Tohono Oodham)
The Sunrise
Sometimes I feel like
the sun rising over
the mountain looking

could this be shingles?
i've been to quite a few sites already looking for information but they all seem to focus on the medical terms and i was having a hard time understanding.
i started looking for message boards specifically discussing shingles but didn't find any.
a neighbor told me about garden web so here i am and i hope i can get some personal advice rather than all the medical lingo.
about 5 weeks ago i noticed an itching on my back, one side, to the left of my spine, just at my waistline. the area that was itching was about the size of a fist. 5 little bumps much like pimples.
i had been doing a lot of strenuous activity in the yard so i just figured it was heat rash from elastic waistband.
couple weeks later it didn't go away.
no solid colored area just a few little bumps spaced out but the few bumps began to itch like crazy.
a couple days later i was bending over in the yard and got a shooting, burning pain in the same area as the bumps.
neither the red, pimple-like bumps have gone away nor has the pain.
if i lie quietly i don't have the pain but the itch is continuous. as soon as i have too much waist movement the shooting, burning pain starts and peaks and is so painful.
saw md monday of last week and he dx'd heat rash with pulled muscle.
by this past monday i could no longer stand the sharp burning pain and saw another md because mine was on vacation.
he said possibly heat rash and it couldn't be shingles because there is no large, dark red area, only a few bumps.
told me the same as first md, to take oatmeal baths to relieve itch and lots of aspirin.
my question:
has anyone ever had shingles (herpes zoster) without a large dark reddened area, only a few bumps?
yes, i've had chicken pox when i was in my 40s. i am in my early 60s now.
very appreciative for any advice you can give.
Hi at_my_age,
I'm sorry no one has answered you yet. I didn't know enough to give an opinion, but was wondering how you're doing?
It sure seems like a neurological/viral problem, like shingles is.
Were you around anyone recently with chicken pox?
What a bummer to have them at 40!
It sure sounds like the shingles I had. I had a little patch of tiny bumps just above the waist on my stomach and a little one at about the same place on my back. And boy was I glad I didn't have a BIG patch! It really hurts and itches. I could hardly stand for my clothes to touch it, which made it tricky to dress for work every day. ;-(
You don't have to be around anyone with chicken pox to get shingles. Apparently once you have chicken pox the virus goes dormant, but doesn't go completely away. Then it can revive later and attack a nerve causing shingles. There's a vaccine for it now, but it's not 100% effective.
Hope you're feeling better by now. I think the antiviral medications can be effective if you catch it just as it's flaring up, but don't help if you take them later. It usually goes away on it's own, but in some people can cause nerve problems the linger for a long time. Mine cleared up on it's own and my md says it probably gave my immune system a better kick than the vaccine would. Here's hopin'.
yes that could be shingles that I have experienced. I came across this youtube video about vygone zapper (you can search it on youtube)I tried it and it stops the pain after several treatments. Has anybody else tried Vygone for shingles? I want to know if it works with others too.
Here is a link that might be useful: vygone on youtube
Interesting because I am having a breakout right now with this exact same thing! It is Herpes Simplex. It starts out painful, and within hours the little bumps show up. The area expands to a red patch that is itchy and painful at the same time, the bumps meld together to become a blister-like bump. Then the blister goes away, the red patch goes away, and there is absolutely no scar or indication that this ever existed.
This entire process takes about a week.
For the first few days when it is itchy I put a large bandaid over it with anti-itch Neosporin, but when the blister appears I air it out, helping it to dry faster.
I get these when I am really stressed out (my cousin passed last week and I got it when I returned home from the funeral) but any stressful situation or dental work can be a trigger for me. I usually get them once or maybe twice a year.
I am supposed to take Valtrex every day, but as soon as the symptoms start I take two and go from there. It does shorten the length of the virus, it used to take two weeks to disappear. Make sure to WASH YOUR HANDS every time you touch it, it is very contagious.
Also, this can only be diagnosed in the first days of the small blisters, the doctor needs to get a sample from that, not once it has become one big blister.
We are not alone, there are many of us who have this, I hope this helps!
I would like to repeat what I said in another post--after witnessing the horrible pain shingles caused my father, I rushed out for the shingles vaccine.
It is not 100% preventive, but most people who came down with shingles anyway did not have the residual nerve pain. It would be well worth the $100-200 for the shot to never experience that, believe me.
Although shingles often appear around the waist, I woke one morning and while brushing my teeth noticed red bumps on the right side of my forehead. I thought I'd been bitten during the night. When the bumps didn't go down by afternoon I saw my MD. It was shingles.
There is medication to reduce the effect of this zoster if it is caught within 72 hours of the outbreak. This is the same drug given for an outbreak of genital warts.
I didn't have much itching or pain and it was all gone in about three weeks. I stayed away from small children lest they catch chickenpox from me. I believe this was stress-related as I'd been overly busy immediately before the outbreak.

The Missouri Credit Union Association (MCUA) just wrapped up its effort to have credit unions in Missouri update or verify their branch listing information on CUNA's A Smarter Choice website. This consumer-facing website allows users to search for and locate credit unions by the branch.
The Missouri Credit Union Association (MCUA) has recently sent out emails requesting that all credit unions in Missouri verify and/or update their credit union's information on A Smarter Choice's website. A Smarter Choice allows consumers to search a national database of credit unions and locate nearby branches. If these records are inaccurate, credit unions could be missing out on new members.
More than 300,000 visits have been made to ASmarterChoice.org so far this year. Traffic spiked on October 8, when CBS This Morning aired a segment focusing on "Five Things to Know About Credit Unions." In fact, after CBS MoneyWatch Executive Editor Jack Otter uttered "aSmarterChoice.org" on air, visits to the website increased almost immediately.

Restaurant issues
Actor Olivier Martinez has problems other than his Thanksgiving slugfest with a former boyfriend of fiancée Halle Berry, Gabriel Aubry (in jail as of press time).
Looks like he could use a nonviolent chat with the managers of his Miami Beach restaurant. Villa Azur, partly owned by the French actor of Unfaithful and Taking Lives, just got a state inspection that dug up so many violations likely to sicken people that a follow-up was ordered. According to state records, the restaurant, 309 23rd St., was visited by state authorities on a routine inspection Nov. 16. They found 13 violations marked critical — or "likely to directly contribute to food contamination and illness," according to the website of the state's Department of Business and Professional Regulations.
Seven other violations were deemed "noncritical." Among the critical: fish served raw without having undergone parasite destruction; food thawing in standing water; cutting boards on the floor; food stored on the floor; staff handling ready-to-eat food without gloves. Usually, restaurant inspections are conducted once a year unless a follow-up is ordered. Said Azur spokeswoman Magda Afif: "The kitchen is very clean. We follow all the rules and regulation. We did have an inspection, but the inspector found no major violation." Martinez helped create a buzz around the Mediterranean eatery in the spring when he opened the door along with Michael Martin, the ex-VIP host at nightclubs Bash and Mynt and Nikki Beach group big Jean Philippe Bernard.

Having recently signed with SoCal punk monolith Epitaph has made it easier for the much-buzzed-about Hives to get some deserved exposure in the States. The music is addictive and catchy, but it still rocks — and it would seem that these guys can actually play their instruments, though their English may be somewhat shaky. "When we were 14 or 15, English was sort of a made-up language," guitarist Nicholaus Arson has said. "It was like you could sing whatever. You could scream, 'Yeah, baby!' and it sounded like you really knew what you were doing. We still think it's a funny language."
The band exhibits creativity in songwriting as well, blasting out sharply jangling tunes that have plenty of aggressiveness but still retain their melody. The players seem to have great fun with faux-nihilistic verses: "Been trying all my life, but I can't add up your subtraction/Work, eat, play then go to sleep/That won't get me no satisfaction/Gotta find a way out, yeah/A way out of this mess." They also enjoy toying with song structures and chord patterns until all of the songs sound kind of familiar, but not quite duplicates of someone else's stuff.
The Hives play with a vigor and heart that eludes many of their neo-punk American counterparts. Catch the buzz.

Customer Reviews
Brown color, poor quality
Natalya from Cleveland, Ohio – Verified Buyer
This table is BROWN as on a picture, and even lighter brown in the bright light. I wish there were reviews anywhere on internet before I bought it! It is also very cheap looking. The color is very dull (not like on the picture), all the edges colored with lighter brown to have "distressed" look. In the light the tiny bumps from the nails can be seen on the table top. I double checked with representative that the color is black and was assured that if brown, I'll be able to return with no problem. The return was pretty smooth and fast and overall Wayfair customer service is very helpfull.
