Only in the United States would we be exhorting people to power through illness as they unwrap a cough drop to help with bronchitis.
I thought of this when I put on my reading glasses to decipher the tiny blue print on a Halls throat lozenge.
When I realized that it was a bunch of different rah-rah-power-through messages (apparently taglined "A Pep Talk in Every Drop" – you can't make this stuff up) I immediately thought….
You would NEVER see an item like this for sale in Europe, Asia or Latin America.
They have too much sense.

Family Marker
I am very interested in the marker for F. Leroy Hendrickson 1873-1939 at Woodlands Cemetery Cambridge Washington New York. I believe this is my Great Grandfather and as the stone has a photo in it I would love to get a better view. His name was Frank Leroy Hendrickson if this is truly his marker and he did move to New York when he remarried after being widowed for many years. I was hoping you may have a copy of this stone that I could enhance to see better. Thank you for your good work. As the rest of the family is in Trenton NJ and he used Frank L. there, it took me a while to find this and then I found a family letter that backs up the move and second wife's name. Thank you for your time.

Hi Michelle,
I just came across your entries for Nancy Watson Williamson. Her brother Lewis Watson was my great-grandfather.
Today I added her parents, Varnum Watson (#141437577) and Polly Barber Watson (#141537642).
Would you be able to link them up?
If you would like you could transfer management to me.

Antique machine forum?
I am looking for an Antique machine forum and have had no luck.
My daughter has a couple older machines I need to get some info on.
One is a 1928 Singer model 66 with an electric motor.
The other is a casket cased New Willard also with an electric motor.
The issue is that if I plug them into the wall one way, the case is energized with 120 V AC.
If I flip the plug, they have a few volts but as the motors power up the volts also go up to about 30 V AC.
We never got shocked testing and running them until I took the Singer down stairs in the basement to work in it and stood on the cement floor!
I have added a grounded plug so it will not power up to 120 V from the start, but wonder what the issue is.
I assume the possibility is remote that two different makes and models machines would show the same issue.
I tore the Singer motor down repeatedly and tested it for continuity from wires to motor case and it shows no continuity, over and over, but the case still powers up!
I was thinking that if back in those days, it was not likely that the user would be grounded working on their wooden floor, so it might not have been considered much of an issue?
I'm sure that there were fewer safety procedures back then compared to today because of the lack of experience and knowledge.
Any ideas?
Try the Needle Bar; it's a site just for antique machines.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
New weather stations in works
Will boost ability to forecast floods
Following a second major Assiniboine River flood in just over three years, the province has announced it will purchase dozens of new automated weather stations to boost its flood-predicting capabilities.
The new weather stations were recommended more than a year ago by a panel reviewing the government's response to the 2011 flood. They're expected to cost more than $1 million in total, and a government official said Monday they're just being tendered now.
That's got the Opposition Progressive Conservatives wondering what's taken the Selinger government so long.
"This is not a complicated purchase," said Shannon Martin, the party's conservation and water stewardship critic.
"These are the kinds of things that most 14-year-olds can do on the Internet."
Martin said the government is only acting after a second serious flood event -- one that again raised questions about its "lack of flood-forecasting skills."
If the weather stations had already been in place, affected communities may have had more accurate information sooner this year, he said.
Doug McMahon, assistant deputy minister of water management and structures at Infrastructure and Transportation Manitoba, said the delay between the recommendations and implementing them came because of the timeline of the 2011 Flood Review Task Force. The recommendations from that review came in 2013, he said, which means the announcement took about one year.
"It took us a while to research what network we needed and to specify the product. It hasn't taken three years," he said.
Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton said the new weather stations will improve the province's ability to forecast floods and droughts, fight forest fires and ensure Manitoba farmers get the detailed weather information they need.
The stations, which the government says will begin to be installed this fall, are to include all-season precipitation gauges to collect snow and rainfall amounts to improve forecasting of spring floods as well as rainfall-driven events. The equipment will transmit hourly data on air temperature, humidity, rainfall and soil temperature.
Twenty of the stations will be placed in areas at risk for forest fires to support fire-prevention programs. The other 40 stations will be located in agricultural areas to enhance Manitoba's agro-meteorology program, which provides weather information to farmers at no charge.
In addition to Environment Canada weather stations, Manitoba currently operates 50 permanent weather stations and 20 seasonal weather stations. All the new weather stations will meet international measurement standards to ensure accuracy, the province said.
Doug Chorney, president of Keystone Agricultural Producers, said the announcement is a welcome one, both for him personally as an agricultural producer and for other producers in the association.
"We've heard from our members occasionally that they'd like to see better weather-station data, and I think this is a great investment," Chorney said.
"Anything that we do to enhance that system will benefit agriculture."
Chorney has a provincial weather station on his farm and uses it every day. He looks at things such as the soil temperature, precipitation and many of the other metrics the station tracks. When a major weather event hits, he said he relies on the numbers the stations across the province provide.
"I can go on the website and check all across Manitoba to see where the heaviest rains are," he said.
Data are crucial for modern farming, not just for forecasting and figuring out what conditions are like at the present moment, but also for tracking what they were in the past, Chorney said.
"Sometimes you might have a complaint from a spray-drift application on a weed-control operation, and you can look back at the data and see what the wind direction was and verify you had the proper conditions for spraying," he said.
McMahon said one of the major uses of the station will be flood forecasting, which relies heavily on data.
These stations will increase the network density, meaning more fine-tuned data, he said.
Right now there are about 325 stations of all kind scattered throughout the province and that number will go up to about 365.
"They're placed at strategic locations around the problem... for instance at a river basin. You want to make sure you've got a density of network out there so you can predict what flows are going to be going down the river," McMahon said.
Monday's announcement comes just a day before Conservative Opposition Leader Brian Pallister is to unveil details of his own plan for flood mitigation.

best white lily - asiatic or casa blanca
I'm trying to decide which one to get. I know the asiatics dont' have much of a smell and the other one does. which one gives the most flowers, is the most hardy, etc. Thank you.
Hope this isn't too late, but I have been growing Casa Blanca for 4-5 years now. Wonderful blooms--much lovelier and shapelier than Asiatic blooms. However, Casa Blanca is not as strong and vigorous as most of my other lilies, although it is the best oriental of the 3 I grow.
If you can find a white orienpet lily, that is a strong, vigorous lily.
I dont' know any white Asiatics, so can't tell you about that, although I do know that Asiatics are supposed to be quite easy to grow. They bloom early in the summer; oriental lilies bloom either mid summer or later summer. Orientpets blooms in between those two types.
Good luck in your search.

"We know that Nehru had enjoyed Shankar's cartoons on him"
Academic and chairman of the National Curriculum Framework (2005) review committee Yash Pal has rejected the S.K. Thorat panel recommendations for deletion of cartoons on politicians and bureaucrats from the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) textbooks.
Terming the panel report "insensitive" and an example of the "growing politics of intolerance," Prof. Yash Pal said "academicians [in the panel] have sunk to such a level that they found several cartoons in the NCERT's social science textbooks portraying politicians in a negative and incorrect way."
Speaking to The Hindu over telephone on Tuesday, Prof. Yash Pal, former Chairman of the University Grants Commission, wondered why "people get annoyed about jathas, slogans and cartoons. Hamein kya ho gaya, pata nahin [What has happened to us? I don't know]," he said.
Reacting to the committee's observation that the textbooks carry too many caricatures on the Nehru-Gandhi family and they had to be deleted, he said he did not "think that they [Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi] felt insulted by such works. We know that Nehru had enjoyed Shankar's cartoons on him."
Wondering how "we would live, if we do not have cartoons on politicians and bureaucrats," he said political caricatures could convey a strong point of view. "People should remain careful about not hurting others. But we can always have some sense of fun."
Referring to the finding that the cartoons portrayed politicians in an "incorrect way," he said they actually pointed to one's "weaknesses and inconsistencies and that too in a nice way."
Prof. Yash Pal also rejected the recommendation that pre-testing of texts and visuals in different settings could be carried out in future as part of textbook development. "You don't test all these things. We cannot have a low level of research while designing school curriculum," he said.

Craftsman 9.0 Auger
My Craftsman snowblower just started pushing snow. It worked fine the last use, which was a major storm with lots of ice and heavy snow. Looking at the machine I see one shear pin was sheared off, and appears stuck inside the hole. The auger rod also seems as if it might be bent or partially snapped, as there is a noticeable sag and the auger is scraping against the housing. I have the feeling I will need to replace the entire auger rod. Any thoughts or suggestions?
Frankly, you just need to dig into it. You will need to drive out the old pin in order to replace it. Inspect also the bearings at each end of the auger shaft and the support bearing at the back of the impeller for slop. Have an assistant start the machine and engage the auger. After it has run enough to blow out the snow and ice, have a look at how true things are running looking for problem areas. Shut the machine off before inspecting too close!
See that link. You'll probably end up doing a similar job.

The public high school baseball playoffs will get under way across Maryland later this week. Here's a breakdown of the four regions that include teams from Montgomery County:
4A West RegionFavorites: Walt Whitman, Quince Orchard, Col. Zadok Magruder
Contenders: Walter Johnson, Northwest, Bethesda-Chevy Chase
Dark horses: Thomas S. Wootton, Winston Churchill, Gaithersburg
Propelled by one of the county's best one-two pitching combinations in Michael Flack and Ryan McGill, Walt Whitman (14-2 through Sunday) locked up the top seed last weekend. The Vikings will be trying to win the program's first region title.
Flack and McGill entered the final week of the regular season with identical 5-1 records and earned run averages of 0.55 and 0.56, respectively. As a staff, the Vikings had recorded a team ERA of 1.07.
"We're still getting good pitching and good defense," Whitman coach Joe Cassidy said. "I shuffled the lineup around [after back-to-back losses] and it seems to be a little more balanced. We're not going to scare a team by mashing 10, 12, 15 hits, but we have good at-bats. We put the ball in play."
Although the prohibitive favorite, the Vikings will be challenged early and often by Quince Orchard (14-4, 12-4 4A West), Magruder (10-4), Walter Johnson (11-5), Northwest (10-5) and Bethesda-Chevy Chase (10-6).
Then there's Wootton (9-6), last year's upset special, Winston Churchill (8-6), and Gaithersburg (7-10), which has one of its top pitchers and hitters Stephen Lee returning to the lineup following a lengthy injury.
"I don't think there is a clear-cut favorite," said Churchill coach Scott Blackwood, whose team emerged from nowhere to upend then undefeated Sherwood a year ago. "I think there is a lot of talent in our region and any team has a good chance at winning the region. Whoever puts it together on that day is going to win. If you don't show up you are not going to win."
Those talented players include Magruder's Zach Lawhorn (4-2, 0.52 ERA, .455 batting average, 7 RBI), Quince Orchard's Billy Plante (.380, 24 RBI, 5 HR) and Alex Lipman (.465, 16 RBI), B-CC's Nico Narel-Aguilar (.486, 10 RBI, 3-2, 1.06 ERA), Richard Montgomery's Tyler Coleman (.488, 13 runs), and Churchill's Danny Weiss (.432, 15 RBI, 3-0, 0.55 ERA).
"Whitman and Quince Orchard have been winning close games, so I think they are the favorites," said B-CC coach John Schmidt. "It will be very competitive this year though, because there are eight or nine teams that have playing well as of late."
4A North Region
Favorites: Baltimore Poly, Dulaney
Contenders: Perry Hall, Westminster, Mergenthaler
Dark horses: James H. Blake, Sherwood, Paint Branch
At least in terms of records, the 4A North could be as competitive as any region in the state with 10 of the 11 teams checking in with seven or more wins through the weekend, led by Baltimore Poly (12-2) and Dulaney (10-5).
Montgomery County's triumvirate of James H. Blake (8-6), Paint Branch (9-6) and Sherwood (8-6) should certainly be in the mix, although none of them appear headed for one of the top four seeds.
Cody Acker (.468, 18 runs, 17 RBI, 3.15 ERA) and Andy McWilliams (.469, 12 runs, 15 RBI, 3-3, 3.00 ERA) have paced the Bengals, who notched 28 shutout innings during a 31-inning stretch this season.
Speaking of pitching, the Warriors will bring a deep and talented pitching staff that is anchored by Matt Chanin (1.50 ERA), Pat Kemper (1.91 ERA) and Grant Dickey (1.12 ERA) but "if we want to compete for the regional title, we are going to need better offensive output," Sherwood coach Sean Davis said.
3A West RegionFavorites: North Hagerstown, Linganore
Contenders: Rockville, Seneca Valley, Thomas Johnson, Urbana
Dark horses: Damascus, Frederick
North Hagerstown (14-1), Linganore (12-5) and Rockville (11-5) look to be the class of a deep 3A West Region that has 10 teams boasting six or more wins. Seven of those teams, including Seneca Valley (9-5) have nine or more victories.
Rockville owns wins against 4A squads James H. Blake, Gaithersburg and Magruder and lost by a total of three runs to Quince Orchard and Northwest.
"We're playing fairly decent," Rams coach Farron Riggs said. "The biggest thing for us has been our pitching. Our pitching has been very good. Sean Van Gieson and Greg Brown are basically our two leaders [and] Sam Kane coming in relief. We'll see what happens. The bottom line is you have to go through North Hagerstown."
Chris Heckhaus (.405), Colin Thatcher (.430) and Nick Fahs (.445, 2 HR) pace Seneca Valley, which won its one and only region crown in 2008.
Kevin Kopas (.491, 23 runs, 6 RBI) and Tyler Beckwith (.367, 27 runs, 10 RBI) lead the Linganore Lancers as a potent 1-2 combination at the plate and on the left side of the infield.
2A West RegionFavorites: Liberty, Catoctin, Walkersville, Poolesville
Contenders: Middletown, Williamsport
Poolesville (11-4) found itself in the thick of the seeding race heading into this week, battling Walkersville (12-6, 12-4 2A West) for the No. 3 seed with Middletown (14-6, 12-6 2A West) and Williamsport (9-7) not far behind.
The Falcons headed into the final week of the regular season with a stingy 2.28 team earned run average on a balanced pitching staff that has three pitchers with two wins each. Offensively, they have five players with 10 or more runs batted in and a team batting average of .341, led by Thayler Seely's 12 RBI.
"It's very important in our region to get that first-round bye, as strong as all the Frederick, Washington and Carroll county teams are," Poolesville coach Ted Gardiner said. "[To win the region] it's going to take solid pitching and for our bats to come around."
Walkersville is paced by Devin Bell (.464 batting average, 20 runs, 15 RBI, 2 HR). Middletown is the defending region champion after the Knights upset three of the top four seeds a year ago.
"We were a low, low seed last year so that's a prime example that anything can happen," Middletown coach Andy Baker said. "We're capable of competing with anybody in the region but at the same time, we've shown we're capable of any team beating us. We haven't been real consistent with our play."
How they rank1. Walt Whitman Vikings
The Vikings, led by Michael Flack and Ryan McGill, snared the top seed in the 4A West.
2. Georgetown Prep Little Hoyas
The Little Hoyas are the clear favorites to capture the IAC title this weekend.
3. Our Lady of Good Counsel Falcons
The Falcons stumbled late in the season, will need to regroup for WCAC tournament this week.
4. Col. Zadok Magruder Colonels
Zach Lawnhorn (4-2, 0.52 ERA, 38 strikeouts) is one of the main reasons Colonels are in the hunt for a top four seed.
5. Quince Orchard Cougars
Billy Plante (.380, 24 RBI, 5 HRs) and Alex Lipman (.465, 16 RBI) provide 1-2 punch for Cougars.

Growing Canna from seeds
I received some canna seeds from a friend, and I was wondering if there was any thing I needed to do to the seeds before planting? She gave me some Levant Cotton seeds and I had to file the seeds and soak them for 24 hours before planting so I was wondering if I would have to do the same with the canna seeds....
I used pet nail clippers for my seeds. Make sure to file/clip the opposite side of the scar on the seeds(that is where you will see a white root poking out after soaking). I then soaked them for 48 hours changing the water occasionally with warm water. I used a seed growing kit with a seed starting mix. Keep them moist at all times. I placed the seeds under a T5 plant growing light. They germinated within 3 days, and it is now day 14 and the seedlings are 6 inches tall growing their 3rd leaves. They take off very fast. Once you see the roots sticking out of the bottom, transplant them into a 4" or 6" pots, I transplanted mine into plastic drinking cups, once they grow out of those, they will be planted outside.
If you want to purchase any more seeds, get them from Karchesky Canna online, 15 out of 16 seeds i got from Alice germinated, now that is a pretty good germination rate. I also purchased rhizomes from her and they are growing very tall and vigorous.
Good luck to you

Cool issue, this is yet one more of the Secret Invasion crossovers that I will rant and rave about. In this case though it should also be pointed out, that a Skrull said something to the effect that he could tell between the Skrull or real ersion of someone. Wether this will play out or be swept under the rug remains to be seen. This issue is nearly wall to wall action, with the dialogue creating the drama and dramatic tension.

Nouri al-Malaki
Known as ISIS or ISIL, a Sunni militant group has taken over parts of the northern city of Mosul, a strategic hub for Iraq's oil industry, as well as a gateway to Syria. Judy Woodruff is joined by Laith Kubba of the National Endowment for Democracy and Kimberly Kagan of the Institute for the Study of War to discuss the larger impact of the takeover on Iraq and its neighbors.

Iraq's Sunni vice president, Tariq al-Hashemi, was sentenced to death in absentia by an Iraqi court for overseeing death squads which killed government officials and opposition leaders from 2006 to 2011. From exile in Turkey, Hashemi reaffirmed his innocence and claimed the verdict was unfair and unjust. Margaret Warner reports. Continue reading

Where to find 30 foods on a stick
So you're curious about the CNE's 30 foods on a stick. Here's how to find them.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
I sampled 30 foods on a stick and lived to write the tale.
There might even be more stick foods lurking at the CNE. I only had four hours to search 120 booths inside the Food Building and 45 concession stands spread across the grounds.
Every food listed here has its fans — and its foes. That's my way of saying to each his/her own.
Related story:
My top five? Deep-fried PB&J is pure childish fun. Unlike some deep-fried desserts, Oreos retain their shape, crunch and cookiness. Grilled Vietnamese pork sausages (I'd call them meatballs) offer a palate-pleasing garlic-sugar hit. Corn dogs are good — if you get the ones that are dipped in homemade batter and freshly fried. And I saved the sundae-on-a-stick (that's ice cream dipped in chocolate and rolled in peanuts) for last and ate the whole thing.
Before you go accusing me of gluttony, please note that I had only one bite of everything (other than the sundae) and gave away most of my food to curious strangers.
That's why I'm hungry enough to go back to the Ex and tackle the stick-free food. But maybe not until next year.

Saints' Shockey will undergo hernia surgery, miss 3-6 weeks
Updated: September 22, 2008, 6:39 PM ETAssociated Press
METAIRIE, La. -- Tight end Jeremy Shockey, the New Orleans Saints' second-leading receiver through three games, is expected to be out for three to six weeks because of a sports hernia.
Shockey, who was acquired from the New York Giants in a trade shortly before training camp, had 16 receptions for 151 yards during the Saints' first three regular-season games. He played Sunday in New Orleans' 34-32 loss at Denver, catching eight passes for 75 yards.
On Monday afternoon, Saints ...

Iz's place was a big two bedroom two bath condo with everything you could possibly need from a blender to sandwich maker you name it. Very very clean with some very nice antique furniture(so please respect that and use coasters) or a small towel as we did. There's a washer and dryer if needed. There's a small balcony that over looks a nice plunge pool. Ara who helps with this property was amazing, she was more then helpful when our t.v didn't work had it fixed in minutes. We had an issue with another booking and ara was emailed, and back in less then an hour to let us know we could stay another night. Thank you Iz that made our transition so much easier. In closing great place, great LOCATION, great price, great management. THANKS Iz, and Ara.
Everything was wonderful,the condo was beautiful,the ceiling fans were great,close to everything.
Our stay was for 3 weeks Jan. 26-Feb 16th 2015. Araceli was most helpful at anything we asked for and made herself very available. She was friendly and welcoming & speaks very good English. The neighborhood is right near 5th Avenue so expect noise, esp. weekends. Unfortunately there was construction right next door at the time we stayed, so we had noise all day. Most of the time we were not there during the day, but out having fun. The place is very clean & secure.
Iz's apartment was wonderful, and in the perfect location right next to 5th Avenue. It was also a very short walk to the beach! As a few other reviews have stated, there was some fairly loud construction in the mornings, however this was definitely not to the fault of the owner. Araceli was great and attended to all of our needs, and her and José were very helpful when we had a couple of issues with the toilet not flushing and a sticky bathroom door lock. Both issues were resolved quickly. Overall, this was a great spot and I would definitely consider renting again.
We spent a week between Christmas and New Year 2014 at the condo and we enjoyed everything it had to offer. As described it is well located and we could walk to the beach with the kids in few minutes in the morning and be back at the condo for lunch. Iz's assistant was also very helpful in providing directions to various places of interest or provide us with what we needed. The condo is a bit dark but we spent most of the day outside so it did not really affect us except for the bit of humidity the air conditioners cleared off for the night. All in all very enjoyable condo but be aware of the night noise on Friday and Saturday nights from the nearby bars.
The condo is very well located, just a few steps from 5th ave. The place is very clean and comfortable. Araceli was quick to respond to any questions we had. The only bad thing i found was a strong humidity smell everytime we walked in, but it is to be expected being so close to the beach. Other than that, we spent 2 weeks there and loved every minute of it.
Nuestra estancia estuvo genial. El departamento es exactamente como se ve en las fotos. Todo muy lindo y limpio. Todo lo que necesitas está ahí. La zona es muy tranquila y la poca gente que vimos muy amable. Definitivamente lo recomendamos y regresaríamos en nuestras siguientr vacaciones.

My two biggest passions are travel and photography. I love sharing my experiences, that's what inspired me to be an Airbnb host.
I live in the always-exciting Hollywood, CA, not far from the Hollywood Hills. I get to see celebrities (and wannabes) when I go grocery shopping and I have all the conveniences and excitement of a world-class city basically on my doorstep.

shady grass?
rouge21_gw(5)February 11, 2012
I have no experience with ornamental grasses but I have been doing lots of investigating during the 'off season' looking for grasses which can succeed in shade.
All of these look wonderful and have been described as (quite?) shade tolerant:
Hakonechloa macra 'Fubuki'
Hakonechloa macra 'All Gold'
Carex 'Ice Dance'
Chasmanthium 'River Mist'
But now I need your experience. Have you had success with any of these grasses in a 'shady' location?

mason jars (i purchased a bunch at Walmart.. SHHh.. hate shopping there!) make perfect spot to hold q-tips, odds and ends, hair ties & bracelets!

I swear by Lush tea tree water toner. I live in Florida and have oily skin, and this stuff saves my life. Also, as goofy as it may sound, I only recently discovered the magical powers of tinted moisturizer. The only makeup I use is Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, nars the multiple on my eyes and cheeks, and mascara. I thank the lovely girls on downton abbey for inspiring my makeup-lite look!

Wells Fargo Advisors names Kowach to head Private Client Group
- Staff St. Louis Business Journal
Wells Fargo Advisors has named company veteran David Kowach president of its Private Client Group, the largest business division of the brokerage firm.
Kowach most recently was managing director of the brokerage firm's Business Development Group. He replaces Jim Hays, who last month was named executive vice president and head of Wells Fargo's Wealth Brokerage Services, the financial advisory group based in bank branches.
As head of the Private Client Group, Kowach will oversee the nearly 11,000 financial advisers who work with clients through Wells Fargo Advisors' brokerage offices nationwide. He'll report to Danny Ludeman, president and CEO of Wells Fargo Advisors.
Kowach, who has more than 20 years of experience in the financial services industry, began as a financial adviser. He also previously served in the Private Client Group as head of Private Client Services, and in several roles in the group's regional management.
St. Louis-based Wells Fargo Advisors is part of San Francisco-based Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC), a financial services company with $1.4 trillion in assets.

The Perceived Performance of Spech Spatialized Using a Spherical Harmonic Model of Head-Related-Transfer Functions
In multimedia applications spatializing sounds so that they are perceived as emanating from particular positions in space increase perceptual realism and immersion. A continuous, functional representation of head-related-transfer function (HRTF) measurements, suitable for spatializing speech in teleconferencing services, has been developed using surface spherical harmonics. Perceptual tests then assess the impact of speech spatialization on the perceived audio quality of an example application.

The Left's Most Hated Koch Brothers Are Only 59th In Highest Political Donations
Only days ago the most hatefilled, partisan member of the Senate, Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid, again cried that the evil Koch brothers are destroying the country with their political donations. But it turns out that the Kochs are 59th on the big donor list. Worse, liberals take up almost all of the top 10 donors.
There has been gnashing of teeth and rending of clothes among extreme lefties over the big money donations made to conservative and libertarian causes by David and Charles Koch. They helped create the political activist group Americans For Prosperity and have funded many, many such groups across the nation. This center right activism, of course, makes them a target of the haters on the left and push them into top spot as the left's most hated boogy men.
But a recent look at the nations deep pocket donors shows that the brothers are way, way down the list of big donors and that lefties fill most of those top slots.
In a piece by Mark Tapscott we find that six of the top ten donors to political causes are left-wing unions.
Those unions are AFSCME, the NEA, IBEW, UAW, the Carpenters & Joiners, and the SEIU.
And who is the biggest political donor? The extremist, left-wing group ActBlue. In fact, ActBlue tops the list after being around for only ten years, a full 15 years fewer than the Koch brothers have been involved in and donating to politics. Yet ActBlue has topped the Kochs by tens of millions in that short period of time!
The other three donors in the top ten are communications giant AT&T, the National Association of Realtors, and Goldman Sachs.
But on the floor of the Senate, Senator Harry Reid has whined that the Koch brothers are "buying" the country and destroying Washington with their political activism and their political donations.
As usual we find that those on the left simply lie. About everything.

This Thursday, 29 May 2014, 6.30–8.30pm. Roberts G06, Sir Ambrose Fleming Lecture Theatre.
As part of the UCL Festival of the Arts (27-30 May 2014), CCHH proudly presents the UK première of Zou Peng's satirical feature Sauna on the Moon + live video Q&A.
This film has not passed the Chinese censors and is shown with special permission of the director and distributors.
Free tickets from Eventbrite.
Sauna on the Moon is a study of the commodification of the female body in present-day Guangdong. Set in a sauna/brothel, it delivers some harsh messages about the sex trade and China's changing society, with a light touch (and without too much explicit material). Chang'e is the name of the sauna, the moon goddess who endows her worshippers with beauty, and the Chinese spacecraft launched in 2010. The director, Zou Peng, and/or the producer, Chen Zhiheng 陈挚恒, will be available for video Q&A after the film.
Drinks will be served between the film and the Q&A session.

The space was incredibly beautiful, clean, and quiet. It was everything we could want in a get-away from the city. Thanks Carrina!
We had such a good time in this neat, lovely and quiet cottage! Our hosts were very nice and helpful. We highly recommend this place for a lovely and relaxing stay in Salt Spring Island!
We loved the cottage. So wonderfully quiet for us urbanites! Unplugged. No WIFI. What a treat. The place had everything we needed and more. Fresh flowers from the garden in the kitchen and on the outside patio; deer watching us through the fence; a complete kitchen to prepare a few of our meals; a truly special place prepared with love. We spent three nights there and even managed to take in the Saturday Market in Ganges. A must! Thanks again Carrina. Shanti means peace and that's what we definitely experienced!
My stay at this cottage was a lovely experience. Carrina was flexible with our check in and out times and was sure to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage is basic and cute. The backyard is quite pretty with her garden full of lavender and bees. The curb appeal of the place is not as cute as the interior. I felt comfortable the whole time. She also makes the BEST morning granola/cereal ever. I tried to get her to sell me a jar. I would most certainly stay again!
My friend and I decided to book a night on Salt Spring Island en route to Victoria where we had a hotel booked for the following two nights. Within 10 minutes of meeting out hosts, and viewing the board-and-batten cottage and its private garden, we decided to ditch our plans for Victoria and spend our vacation there. Fortunately the cottage was available and we settled in for three very comfortable days.
Carinna had stocked the fridge with fresh eggs, bread, homemade preserves, granola, juice, milk, coffee and tea. We foraged the Island's vegetable stands, vineyards, bakeries and shops finding fresh, local ingredients that we (my friend) turned into extraordinary meals which we ate in the garden surrounded by the scent of fresh herbs.
We rested, we read and we relaxed – and we laughed, a lot.
I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed our time on the Island and at this cottage, it proved to be a wonderful retreat. I wouldn't hesitate to refer it to any of my friends and certainly hope to be back again, myself.

Chapter I. Introduction
Who is unemployed among those with doctoral degrees in science and engineering? This question is of interest to those who hold such degrees and those considering a doctorate in science and engineering. This information is also important to policy makers and administrators in the government, members of academia, and other individuals who are responsible for designing, implementing, and monitoring advanced education and career programs.
To provide relevant information, data from the 1993 Survey of Doctorate Recipients (SDR) for individuals under the age of 76 with doctoral degrees in science and engineering from U.S. universities were analyzed. These 1993 results were also compared with data reported for 1973 in two National Academy of Sciences reports, Employment Status of Ph.D. Scientists and Engineers 1973 and 1975 and Doctoral Scientists and Engineers in the United States, 1973 Profile.
Limitations of This Study
Three important limitations of this study need to be highlighted:
- Unemployment represents only a single possible outcome of career decisions. For employed individuals, a variety of job characteristics are of interest-for example, the nature of the work to be done, the work setting, the time demands, and the salary, prestige, and challenge of the position. A doctorate in science and engineering is not pursued simply to avoid unemployment but to obtain certain types of employment. Thus, a study of the factors affecting unemployment is only one of a series of studies of interest to individuals with doctoral degrees in science and engineering and those considering such degrees.
- This study focuses on individuals under the age of 76 with doctoral degrees in science and engineering from U.S. institutions.[2] Individuals not in the labor force (those neither working, seeking work, nor on lay-off) are excluded from this analysis.[3] This narrow focus permits an understanding of a population likely to differ significantly from the general population and from other subgroups within the science and engineering population.
- The multivariate approach used in this report is, at best, an imperfect substitute for a carefully controlled experiment.[4] Determining that an association exists between unemployment and a particular variable does not prove that the variable caused the unemployment. Alternate explanations are that unemployment caused the variable (for example, unemployment may lead an individual to seek additional training) or that unemployment and the variable of interest are both caused by other factor(s) associated with both the variable and unemployment (for example, unemployment rate differences between two race/ethnic groups may be explained by age differences between the groups). Caution, therefore, must be exercised in interpreting the data.[5]
[2] See the Technical Notes for additional information on the survey.
[3] Limiting the population of interest to those who are in the labor force is consistent with the standard Federal definition of unemployment used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
[4] See Technical Notes for a more detailed discussion of the methodology used in this report.
[5] See Marini and Singer for a more detailed discussion of the relationship between statistical association and causality.

Haven target Big Rod
Last updated at 11:57, Thursday, 03 January 2013
WHITEHAVEN have named one of their Papua New Guinea signing targets.
Rodney Pora is the fearsome Test prop the club are poised to bring to The Recreation Ground and help mount a strong Championship challenge.
The 'Big Rod' has built up a fearsome reputation for PNG in the Test arena including World and Pacific Cup internationals.
All that remains now is for Pora to pass an English exam which is a pre-requisite to gaining a visa in Manilla.
He has already sat the tests and as the results have still to come (from Australia) this is causing delay in completing an eagerly-awaited deal.
Yesterday Whitehaven chief executive Barry Richardson confirmed: "Rodney has signed for us and once he passes the exam there should be no problems. I spoke to him on New Year's Day and he's as keen as mustard to come.
As been a regular in the Papua New Guinea team for several years and currently first choice No 8, Barry described Pora as "a big, rough tough forward who has a substantial presence on the field."
This will be music to the ears of Recreation Ground players, officials and fans who appreciate that the team will need to be a lot stronger up front to be competitive in the Championship.
And there could be a double PNG boost as Whitehaven also remain confident of signing Pora's front-row international team mate who can't be named at this stage. "Terms have been agreed, all the paperwork has been sorted out at this end, we are just waiting for him to get a visa in his own country. We are keeping fingers crossed," said Mr Richardson.
Definitely returning from PNG is the popular Jessie Joe Parker to add his considerable force to the back division having contributed spectacularly to the promotion success. The deal is signed and sealed. Barry Richardson will meet him at Newcastle Airport on January 10. And landing at the same airport on Friday all the way from Australia is speedy back line all rounder James Cameron.
"We have recruited well," said Mr Richardson. "It's going to be tough but if everybody pulls together on and off the field we can do well in the Championship."
"One way or another our pack is going to be stronger and more powerful than last season having already signed two other experienced props in Paul Jackson and Lee Paterson."
