Wouldn't it be the same way as UK when it was forced in the second class member after denying accepting Euro?
A beautiful comment, indeed.
(I commented briefly on the Greece stuff over in the other thread, in case you care.)
Dire Straits (continued)...
I am also a bit depressed recently by the deaths of Christopher Hitchens and Gore Vidal - two personal heroes of mine.
Whereas in Italy, nobody ever dies - even those who really should be moving along by now. (Is Andreotti still alive? At 93? Incredible. As Beppe Grillo says, "When he dies we will finally be able to remove the black box from his hump and FIND OUT THE TRUTH!")
Only in my 40's, I am getting more and more like my ancient cousins. I had a great-uncle, a banker, who died at 90 in the late 80's. He greatly loved his dogs, but had one that was particularly ugly, which he named Fanfani (a former Christian Democrat Prime Minister). "Why?" I asked one day. "Because he is so little and ugly" was the response.
Some of my best days are now when I go to the news kiosk in the morning and discover some other former Christian Democrat bigwig has died. Two years ago former President Cossiga died. I was inside the newsagent's and I remarked, rather spontaneously, "Well that's an unexpected pleasure, another Democristian bites the dust!" The newsagent gave me a rather nasty look...
Have you seen any of Beppe's DVD's? They are a cathartic against the maladies of modern society, much like the rants of Lewis Black. Most are sold also subtitled in English.
Let me supplement my previous post by quoting, from one of Richard Kahn's books, Joan Robinson's explanation of the humbug of finance. She was referring to the stagnation or underemployment (of the Capitalist Bloc) as of the early 1980s:
"There is a particular problem at the present time which needs to be introduced into the discussion, because it is a very clear example of how understanding a problem at the present time of the indebtedness of the third world countries. Here there is a perfectly ridiculous situation in the world. In the industrial countries there is unemployment and underutilisation of plant, and, in particular, extreme overcapacity for the production of steel. So there is unemployment and low profits in the industrial world for lack of demand. There is the third world which is supposed to be developing: development needs investment and investment needs steel. Here is an enormous real demand and an enormous real oversupply.
"They cannot be brought together. Why?
"They cannot be brought together because of the lack of finance. The third world countries are already deeply indebted. A great part of their exports have to be used to service the debt they have already incurred. So they are not able to carry forward a development plan for lack of finance and the developed countries are unable to produce the steel and the machinery which these peoples need because they have no purchasing power. This is a prime example of what Keynes called the humbug of finance. The whole world has tied itself up in this totally unreal tangle and why? The reason is that during the great inflationary boom, particularly in 1972 and 1973, a number of respectable banks were lending to the third world countries, and part of the debt which they now have to service, is debt to the western banking system, so that any reasonable solution, any way of reducing the amount of debt and starting demand again, would threaten the very basis of the financial problem."
Hi Joe!
What has happened to you? Do you really intend to scare away all your friends? You have presented yourself here as a civil, sensible guy with just one, albeit totally unharmful, mania (Vatican). I am worried. Are you through some personal dire straits?
Aha! I knew it. I have smoked you out. A defender of Sanacja.
Very good, now I understand you.
By the way, if you are convinced Greek wages are still higher than in Poland, you will certainly be moving there, right?
Give me a break.
Poland's euro adoption is a completely moot point these days. As mike mentioned, to adopt the euro you need to change the constitution and the euro-sceptic PiS and other forces can block such a change at present. The next elections are in 2015. Assume pro-euro forces win and the constitution is changed. Authorities still have to put the zloty into ERM II for 2 years. Moreover, the 2-year period must come before the April-May reviews by the EC and ECB of a country's application to join the eurozone (which usually happens on Jan 1). For example, if Poland wants to adopt the euro on Jan 1, 2016, then the EC and ECB would review the application to join in April-May 2015. ERM II entry would thus have to come before April-May 2013.
Thus, we are probably looking at the earliest possible euro adoption date of 2019, and that's if pro-euro forces win over two-thirds of seats and ERM II entry comes within about 6 months of the 2015 elections.
These are early days, but it would be a brave person to predict that euro-sceptic forces will have less than one-third of the Sejm after 2015. If the constitution can't be changed, we would need to wait till the next parliament in 2019, putting euro adoption into the 2020s.
Funnily enough, in September 2008, PiS badboy Jaroslaw Kaczynski said Poland would be able to adopt the euro in 2020 or 2025, triggering much controversy. He's not right on much, but he could be right on that:)
Snowman VS please stop embarrasing yourself. Those UE Funds are simply nothing compared to destroy of Polish state during WWII and Communism. It's highest time for Germany to pay off crimes done on Polish people. And big thanks for GB. Sold us to Communists. Dont even dare to speak that we dont care about others. When we were fighting for freedom of whole Europe during Turkish or Bolshevik invasion. History gave us huge lesson. If you can count, count on yourself. Coz rest of Europe dont even care about you. If you check carefully stats of Poland GDB after collapse communism and before entering EU. You will discover something astonishing. We were growing without EU founds. Ofc after 2004 we got some boost but it was nothing more and nothing less. Give us enought time of peace and we will be wealthy through our hard work.
History is full of irony: if the Germans and the French only mentioned, say seven or even five years ago (perhaps the very last moment to take in Poland was in 2007, together with Slovakia), that Poland can introduce the euro, everybody in Poland would be very happy and overwhelming majority of Poles would eagerly agree to it in a nationwide referendum on this matter. But at that time Poland was told about ERM2 and other requirements difficult to fulfill. Now that the euro will soon be in shatters as Greece (and most probably Spain, too) are going to leave eurozone, all of a sudden they proclaim that zloty is going to be replaced by the euro. QUICK GIFTS ARE DOUBLE GIFTS - now they're a day late and a dollar (sic!) short.
You are so lucky! Ma madame et moi aren't going on a proper vacation this year, saving up for a real big one next year. So this year, it's just friends, family and too many BBQs. (It's not that bad, actually, and definitely relaxing.)
Joe, a very apt decription of, what you called, the sociology of power in real-communism times. Bravo. The joke by Grillo is/was known also in Poland, though I didn't know it was Grillo's. Who is of course a commedian who turned politician, I know ;) Like our Jan Pietrzak, for instance, who run for presidential office and, of course, failed. And who is in fact best compared with Grillo, since Kaczmarski, my real hero, was simply an extremely talented bard/observer/poet, often misunderstood. He never talked to the flavour of the masses, never adjusted himself to the crowds - which Pietrzak, and Grillo, did more often than not. Thus being a material for politicians.
Frankly speaking, I am tired of all those ***modern*** political ***entities*** who are/declare-themselves neither-left-or-right, like ie. Grillo and some of Polish, or German, ones. They all are/end up being slack populists.
Joe, I would be interested - seriously! -if you see any good points in your Christian Democrats doings throughout all those past years. Are there any iyo?
Take care! :-)
"Greece can of course stay inside the euro after bankruptcy, and given its leaders' incompetence, I bet it will, instead of doing what any proud people should do in a time of crisis: pull itself up."
There is no "pulling oneself up" after five successive years of 5-6% recession.
Italy is struggling to meet its own budget goals - but we will meet them, albeit with a less than 2% recession. I shudder to think what successive years of -5% recession would mean. I completely agree with Maher about this - it is utterly unconscionable that the Troika "apply" its own budget and reform criteria in that context.
Loved your plumbing comment.
Thank you for asking about personal straits. In response I must say that the entire world and Europe in particular are in dire straits - although some do not have the intelligence to see it. Italy is as usual scraping by the edge of the cliff, which seems the only time when our country, its Guelphs and Ghibellines, pull together to change what needs to be changed to survive - rather like Lebanon of course. Nobody doubts here our destinies are tied to the Holy Land - so our economy is holding together, but we must see what happens when war breaks out in the Middle East. Best guess: end of September/beginning of October, in time for the American presidential elections. And unlike Iraq, I think this time our pilots at least will be along for the ride right from the beginning.
Italy is four or five different countries - each manages during the crisis in its own way. Here in the northeast and Friuli, unemployment has remained low - but this is because the foreigners are being sent home and local Italian youth are now performing the most hideously painful and ill-paid jobs they hitherto would not have accepted. Payments are effected after six months. Everyone seeks out government contracts (often the only ones available) but these are also paid after 6-9 months, if you are lucky.
While sending out CV's everywhere, I am translating and waiting for payment (I am owed close to €10,000, in some cases from January) while I battle off the bank (only one month late on my mortgage at the moment, so I count myself as lucky). An Irish colleague (Italian wife) has moved here recently - he and his wife are earning €1200 monthly GROSS each and must pay a mortgage instalment in Ireland of €1100. They are living with her parents to avoid rent expense.
My best friend and former college roommate - now teaching at the university some 10 years after his doctorate, where he is engaged on contract without a fixed paycheck at 38 years old, has found himself without a course to teach over the last six months (and therefore no income). So he was extremely thankful (as was his wife) when he was called up from Rome as a reserve Officer with an Italian tank brigade to go to Afghanistan, probably in October: 5000 monthly for six months - and then probably off to Lebanon afterwards. This will be his fourth mission abroad over the last 6-8 years, and he purchased a flat (in cash) last year with the proceeds. I am too old to go, and a civilian, but I find myself with five close friends/students now in Kabul - some in very high command positions, including American friends.
There are a half dozen local companies that have offered to send me to Poland - but they all encourage me "to have patience" while they await better times before hiring additional staff.
In the meantime my other best friend (I was witness at his wedding) is moving to Peru with his wife and begging me to come along. Since much of my Ligurian family have lived in Peru over the last 150 years, I am giving it serious consideration - I still have relatives down there somewhere.
Next week, after finishing an Annual Financial Report for a local company (a pitiful €800 for more than a week of hard work) I am off to Ljubljana for my only (day-trip) holiday this summer (have not been to the beach even once this year - and I live a few kilometres away). I am also planning a weekend trip to Cesky Krumlov at the end of September with friends - assuming someone actually pays me any part of the money I am owed.
In addition to translations I am teaching English to the military here, including soldiers, officers and commanders. One commander in particular is a true pleasure, given that he has thirty years' experience in missions abroad, including extensive work in the Middle East - so discussing Lebanese, Israeli and American politics is most stimulating. These discussions/lessons take place over water and coffee - but perhaps a bit of Scotch would be more conducive. I will have to try gifting a bottle. I find myself wishing I had joined the military a few decades ago.
In the meantime, my four closest school chums from America are in Athens, Kabul, the Pentagon and the Washington DC Capitol Hill (an Iranian dissident) respectively. So I confess I feel a bit out of the loop in Trieste.
I need to earn more money, buy a bigger house, perhaps close to the water, and represent the host/point of reference for my friends when they wish to retreat to a quiet, well-kept and clean Italian city on the Adriatic with good food and good wine and beer. You know, to get away from the bullets in Afghanistan, Washington or Athens...
To sum up, we survive. Italian ice cream, cheap Slovenian beer, cheap local wine, good company and free music and films over the internet are my defence against depression during this summer of discontent.
I agree that the treatment of Poles and Poland and abandoning the country to the Soviet Union after the WW2 was deplorable - especially given the military contribution of Poland far exceeding that of France for example. I don't think, however, that you should be treating EU membership and associated benefits as a payback for the damages of the war.
Your statement "Give us enought time of peace and we will be wealthy through our hard work" rings true, but I do believe that this process is vastly accelerated by the EU membership. Moreover, you may not get the peace for long enough if Europe as an entity is powerful and successful. And that would come through unification and integration - not the opposite.
Poland feeding Italy?A fantastic piece of humour.Here in Italy the Poles works in the hospitals,and as plumbers and masons.You don't know what you say.
I'm checking (as usual) the list of countries who maintain the presence of TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL on their territories and there isn't (as usual) Poland on that list (www.transparency.org/). The countries go like this: ... Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Russia ... and so on but no Poland on this list (it should be between the Philippines and Portugal). Let's not follow this erroneous way of thinking that supposedly it is TI's problem and not Poland's problem that TI had to evecuate from this central European country which also belongs to OECD. Such a bizzare way of thinking is tantamount to putting the cart before the horse. If it hadn't been for the evacuation of TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL from Poland in November last year, who knows, perhaps there may not have been so many scandals inside the Polish government in recent weeks? I am rather angry with all those who in recent months were sending me to Coventry for pointing out this misdeed that only from Poland TI had to evacuate because now all those scandals prove that I was 100% right and they were wrong! How many other scandals is Poland going to suffer before TI finally resumes its operation there?
Josh, I am relaxed and in between holiday trips :) Thank you.
To your second point: Mmh.
"50 years of tyranny" sounds so nice and dramatic, you know? It's almost as poetic as "One Hundred Years of Solitude", if I dare being immodest for once;-), and that was a nobel-prize winning book title, after all.
Between 4 and 4.2 was just an example as a roughly appropriate band which would have been consistent with trading for the past couple of years. In practice, it might be best to infer an appropriate conversion rate from the current prices of currency hedging over the next 10 years.
Actually, what you describe (rising prices after Poland joins the euro) is very likely.
If euro membership results in an easing of monetary policy (it will), then Poland will experience years of higher investment, higher demand and higher inflation (it can and should counteract this with budget surpluses, high banking capital requirements and well regulated consumer/ mortgage lending).
Given that, the obvious question is: whether Poland should intentionally join the euro with a zloty value slightly higher than it usually trades? (Or, on the same principle, at the top of the band in which it would usually be expected to trade.) That would head off inflation, and maintain a higher value of savings.
These are matters which would have to be considered on balance.
Yet, this is small fry next to the prize of deeper integration in the world economy, with increase productivity and incomes.
Yes - a referendum might be appropriate. And if popular opinion requires, there will need to be a long national debate first - and probably five to ten years for the current crisis to wash. In that time, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria and Montenegro will join the eurozone. Polish growth rates will slow relative to others in the region. Assuming that Greece has been fiscally stabilised (few recessions are deep for 10 years) and that the other crisis countries have recovered, the euro will certainly appear more attractive.
And indeed, a few years for Poland to become wealthier, for financial markets to become more integrated, for trade to expand and for the zloty to become more stable, will definitely make the benefits of membership more apparent.
Hold on a second! Where from have you taken these rates between 4 and 4.2 zloty/ euro? All these things are not even discussed in Poland, the majority of Polish population is against the conversion because they know it for a fact that prices will go up soon after the conversion (they rose in each country), and our current president of the National Bank of Poland announced that certain conditions must be met on either side, i.e. Poland is not going to switch into an uncertain currency - something like that Mr Marek Belka said a year ago and since then euro's credibility rather deteriorated further still instead of improving. They will have to persuade the Poles that this whole business of conversion is profitable for Poland and when you look at stories coming not only from Greece but also from other countries like Spain or Portugal one can only conclude that convincing the Poles into euro is going to be a very hard if not an impossible task (I for one would like a nationwide referendum in Poland on that matter).

Used this item to fill automobile tire and charge battery all in one session and it worked great. Wish this model had a place to plug in a 110 item instead of the usb port it comes with. I would recommend this especially for the price, great gift for newbie driver. Halogen light is a plus.
This product was used the same day i received it and it worked great. Very easy to use.
I would not buy if you want something that works more than 30 days and have problems with, check other sites, problems with this unit all over the place from other customers. My experience is overstock won't cover you because of the 30 day policy and the customer service from the company, well all I can say is good luck!
Bought this because we needed a tire inflator. Beyond that, will recent weather events, I'm glad to have an alternate power source in the house. So it won't sit with the charge draining away, I occasionally use it to charge my cell phone and laptops. It's so portable, it would be easy to carry this along in the car if I expect to be away from power sources for an extended period of time. I look forward to utilizing it through the winter months. Should be a part of everyone's disaster preparedness equipment.
I hate using jumper cables and this unit solved that problem. I have had a different brand unit before but this new unit is better quality and the price is reasonable. Also having the compressor was a must in my book . I have an older car and this unit gives me piece of mind when driving.
It did not jump my car thought I can easily jump it wth another car. The battery connectors are not good if your posts are not standard
Bought this mostly to have a compressor for inflating tires, sports balls, etc. It works well for this purpose. Not as fast as a dedicated compressor but works fine. Very pleased with the construction and materials used (rubberized vinyl) - seems pretty durable.

Literary Hook: A poem to help give thanks this Thanksgiving
By Christine Swanberg
Author and Poet
Our lives make up the fabric of gratitude. Every year, we have a feast in honor of gratitude. This poem celebrates that special day.
Since I have received positive feedback on this poem over the years, I like to publish it each year just before Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy it.
This Thanksgiving:
Remember the air that made the clouds that made the rain
that watered the ground and made the potatoes
both white and sweet at your Thanksgiving table.
Remember the birds that gave the eggs that gave the meat
that baked in the oven and smelled divine
surrounded by sage dressing at your Thanksgiving table.
Remember the sun that fed the vines that made the wine
that went into long-stemmed glasses and shimmered
near the candles at your Thanksgiving table.
Remember the miners who culled the silver and the fire
that molded the precious metal that became a spoon
so perfectly set around your Thanksgiving table.
Remember the migrants who picked the lemons that you slice in water with ice, and who carried the pumpkins that whipped into the pie at your Thanksgiving table.
Remember the cows for all their kindnesses: the cream,
the milk, the cheese, and the chocolate that finished
the meal at your Thanksgiving table. Dare not forget:
All pilgrims who seek the higher life in strange
and wonderful places. All the invisible faces
of those gone on, the homeless, and the struggling,
our blue planet, that most special place in the universe,
where we, the lucky, thrive amidst rivers and orchards
where fruit hangs in perfect abundant globes.
Christine Swanberg has published about 300 poems in 70 journals and anthologies. Her books include Who Walks Among the Trees with Charity (Wind Publishing, Kentucky), The Red Lacquer Room (Chiron Publishing, Kansas), The Tenderness of Memory (Plainview Press, Texas), Slow Miracle (Lakeshore Publishing, Illinois) and Invisible String (Erie St., Illinois).

Yangon: Myanmar`s detained opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, will be released from house arrest in November, a government minister told a recent gathering of local officials, according to two people who attended the meeting.
Home Minister Major General Maung Oo told the January 21 meeting that Suu Kyi would be freed in November, a month after many observers expect the country to hold its first Parliamentary Elections in two decades.
The information could not be independently verified but the two people who attended the meeting said, requesting anonymity, that the comment was made before an audience of several hundred people in Kyaukpadaung, a town about 350 miles north of the former capital, Yangon.

No worries, stay calm, one question. Do you happen to know how to fly this thing?
Paul Pressler was not the only nemesis .. in past Disneyland President history. Judson Green (the one just before Paul Pressler) had a mandate about closing older attractions in favor of new ones - Toontown. Under his rule - he let attractions in Tomorrowland close prematurely. And shuttering Skyway in the same time frame, along with the Keel Boats .. was all too easy in his hands.
Last edited by Tomorrowland_1967; 05-14-2013 at 06:20 PM.
Dear Peoplemover Fans, If you want to see a new attraction that at least mimics the 1967 Peoplemover in a future Tomorrowland remodel, you need to write to the powers-that-be, and let them know. If you don't - Then the next time Tomorrowland is remodeled, you will see a land barren of any "Peoplemover" type attraction.
I remember going on it after the Gummi Bear stuff was removed but it still being culled the Gummy Bear Motorboat cruise.. can anyone confirm if they changed the name back in its final days?
The motor boats were a lot of fun and I miss them. I remember back in 1988 while in line a couple of security guards went to the loading dock. They later escorted a family that was soaking wet. I guess they were horsing around and fell out of their boats. I can still remember the mother looking straight at me and yelling "Don't Laugh" as security led her away.
From Dave Smith's DISNEY A to Z:
"Motor Boat Cruise: Fantasyland attractions at Disneyland; opened in June 1957 and closed on January 11, 1993, with the area becoming Fantasia Gardens. In 1991 (March 15 to November 10) it was redecorated to become a special Motor Boat Cruise to Gummi Glen. This attraction was popular with children, who enjoyed piloting their crafts around the waterways under the autopia bridges and monorail beams, but adults found it pretty tame."
I personally think his last statement said it all, why it closed.
1967, 1973, 1977 - DLR (RV parks)
1980-1984 - DLR (multiple single days or at now-defunct motels)
1994 - DLR (off-site hotel)
2007 - DLR (single day)
2008, 2009 - DLR (BW Stovall's)
2012 - WDW (PopC)
2013 - DLR (Candy Cane Inn)
And when Dave Smith says "tame" he means "lame".
As Dave says, kids found them fun and I was certainly no exception. One of my fondest memories of my dad was on that attraction. I don't think I need for it to come back, but I do hope they find something else to put there.
Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.
I heard a rumour on the Disneyland Project Tracker that the area will be rethemed to a Tinkerbell Boat Ride, so we might get the boats back! However, we might not be able to control them...
The new Star Wars plot summery:
Episode 7: Luke discovers that Darth Vader is not his father, and goes on a search for his real father
Episode 8: Darth Vader is resurrected and goes on Jerry Springer, claiming he is Luke and Leia's father
Episode 9: Princes Leia is not Luke's sister, making him furious (we all know why...).
Some things that get fed to Lutz .. don't happen. Like the latest rumor of subs and autopia going. Most likely, untrue.
Dear Peoplemover Fans, If you want to see a new attraction that at least mimics the 1967 Peoplemover in a future Tomorrowland remodel, you need to write to the powers-that-be, and let them know. If you don't - Then the next time Tomorrowland is remodeled, you will see a land barren of any "Peoplemover" type attraction.
Do what you will with the Motorboat Cruise area, but I sincerely hope they won't ever rip out the autopia/submarines and monorail area. I love how everything fits together and it's quintessentially Disneyland.
As other people said, probably maintenance, but more of the main reason: They sucked!
Even riding them as a kid they sucked hard. I just didnt see the point when all you did was push the gas pedal down. At least the Autopia you can somewhat steer.
I wish they would build something in that area again but something completely new and different.

I am very grateful to the Chronicle-Independent for giving me an opportunity each month to discuss education in our community and beyond. One of the topics I feel compelled to keep talking about is how our state funds K-12 education. As I've said on several other occasions in this space, it's an understatement to say that the way our state funds K-12 education is dysfunctional, complicated, disorganized, ineffective and contradictory, and that's on a good day. When I think about this system, imagery involving duct tape and baling wire comes to mind.
The city of Camden was in the spotlight Thursday when local elected leaders from around the region met at TenEleven Galleria. These regional leaders, along with Camden city officials, met to discuss important legislative issues at a Municipal Association of South Carolina's Regional Advocacy Meeting. The Municipal Association is a statewide organization that provides support to the state's cities and towns with their efforts to be hubs for job growth and economic development.
Let's be fair to Rep. Ron Paul of Texas. Contrary to a widespread impression, the libertarian-minded Texas Republican did not say during a recent Republican debate that people without health insurance should be left to die. It is only his idea of "freedom" that might cause you to think so.
Call me a hypocrite, and you'll be pretty darned accurate if you're talking about big-time college athletics.
Troy Davis died Wednesday night.
NEW YORK -- Are Republicans stupid?
In presidential politics, endorsements are a prize candidates seem to covet, but don't necessarily need. On the rare occasion, however, a presidential backer can give a candidate that extra boost required to finish off the competition or a killer blow that eventually stymies a campaign.
Quite a few people were shocked to hear the audience burst into applause at Rick Perry's first Republican presidential debate after they heard that the Texas governor leads the nation in executions. That's why we have debates. They teach you things, not only about the candidates but also about their voters.
Declaring your independence is risky, but it's relatively simple. Figuring out how to function as an actual nation is more complex.
It's been a long road/Gettin' from there to here.
As it turns out, I will be an aunt by the end of the year -- not once, but twice.
If there are "moderate" Muslims, I still hear critics ask since the Sept. 11 attacks, why don't they condemn Islamic terrorism? In fact, most Muslims do condemn such barbaric acts but their critics aren't always listening.
The late comedian George Carlin made people laugh for decades, oftentimes with his own brand of off-color humor. You wouldn't ordinarily think of him writing a piece that would be appropriate for Christmas reflection, but I ran across this recently. Written shortly after his wife died, it's worth sharing:
COPD, which stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is now the third leading cause of death in the U.S., having recently passed stroke. COPD is a lung disease usually caused by years of cigarette smoking, often 10 years or more. The latest information on tobacco use in S.C. shows that about 720,000 adults are smokers and each year more than 6,000 persons die from smoking. Almost 50 percent of S.C. adults are current or ex-smokers, thus are at risk for COPD. The good news is that smoking rates are much lower than in the 1960s ...
We're used to hearing bad news from the education front -- poor test scores, falling literacy, slipping standards. But the new academic year brings a welcome change: school-choice programs have expanded significantly in recent months. Indeed, The Wall Street Journal has already dubbed 2011 "The Year of School Choice."
"Hey," said the guy next to me at the blackjack table, "you know what they call people who hang around casinos?"
WASHINGTON -- President Obama got it two-thirds right when he said the delayed confirmation of his attorney general nominee, Loretta Lynch, is owing to Senate dysfunction and Republican stubbornness.
Here in the Chronicle-Independent newsroom, we're kind of shaking our collective head about the news which broke Tuesday about the early-morning heist of a complete automatic teller machine (ATM) from Mid Carolina Credit Union in Lugoff. The thief or thieves apparently used a large, stolen piece of equipment to rip the ATM from its concrete base and load it into or onto some sort of vehicle, almost surely a truck, given an ATM's size and weight.
Spring is here in the City and the Bradford pears look so pretty.
If I had to list the drivers people have asked me about over the years, Kurt Busch wouldn't be in the top 10.
WASHINGTON -- I'm standing in the Starbucks line behind 10 other sleepyheads waiting to order my tall skinny cappuccino, otherwise known as a shot of coffee described as I wish it to be.
Today's reflection is about things I just don't do anymore.
Every day, in every area of our state, hardworking South Carolina taxpayers are being robbed. They are not held up at gunpoint and their homes are not burglarized. But, they are the victims of theft just the same. Criminals are stealing federal funds and using that money for their personal benefit. They are committing fraud against the food stamp program. In fact, they pocket more than $2 million of your tax dollars every year in South Carolina alone.
From 1999 to 2006, I tuned in to every episode of "The West Wing" starring Martin Sheen. It was one of the smartest shows I've ever watched with a superb cast and excellent writing. Like every television show, it had its ups and downs. Its detractors felt it was too idyllic and -- being an Aaron Sorkin product, like "The Newsroom" in more recent years -- too preachy.
You may be surprised to learn people sometimes disagree with me. You may be equally surprised I sometimes see their point in the disagreement. Sometimes I agree with the disagreement.

grass seed for all-year color
walterbernJanuary 12, 2011
There is a grass seed called "marathon" which is a tall fescue and stays green all year long. It is very expensive. Are there other grass seeds with this quality?
Actually Marathon is a blend of tall fescue cultivars. From what I have read it does very well in Southern California. Tall fescue seed is pretty inexpensive in general, but I believe Marathon isn't because it is controlled by one grower. Most tall fescue would stay green all year round in the relatively warm California climates but you would need to select ones that can tolerate the high heat of Southern Cal, as well as the water restrictions that certain cities impose. Where are you located in CA? How much does Marathon seed cost?

What have I done Wrong???
I'm gonna try and make a long story short... I have been married to my husband almost 7yrs. He has 3 grown daughters 27,25,23. I have 2 sons 18,14. When I met him his then 17 yr old(now 23) was pregnant. She has since then had 3 more children. Thats 4 kids, with 4 possible fathers. She has been living off and on for the last few years with on of the father's. She leaves him for someone else she gets pregnant and then runs back to him. She had her youngest in May of this year, and had her tubes tied. We have done everything in our power to help this girl. She lived with us when she had 2 kids and was a major pain in the butt. She had to move out, because it was way to much to have to deal with. We also have had the oldest child living with us for about a year. The SD gets mad and takes the kids away.
For some stupid reason me and the husband decided we would try and help her out again. We helped her get an apartment, near us so she could get a job and we would watch the kids. My husband is retired early due to medical issues. (kidney cancer). He loves his grandkids and wanted to have them near him. They are on the bus route and the oldest could get off the bus at our house in the afternoon, it was a great set up. She had a month to find a job all her bills were paid, and we knew we may need to help her for a few months till she found a job and started making money. That was just way to easy for her.....
She was there for 3 months would not get a job. Would have multiple men staying with her and the kids would be witness to all this. We also told her that if she need some adult time to at least send us the 2 older kids(girls) 6&4, they did not need to see mom doing the things she does. The 2 younger ones don't need to be around during her little issues, but they are 23 months and 5 months. They will not understand what they are seeing right now.
We also gave her a cell phone to use and to have at night in case there was a problem. She ran the cell bill up over $300, used all our min. that we normaly share with 4 people and do not go over (1500 min). We have had to pay over $400 in electric bills, and of course the $1000 to get her in to the apt.
She claims to be bipolar, and due to my husbands illness he sees a Psycologist. Because it is a terminal illness he can take in people that he is worried about and deal with the issues they have so he can have some peace. We all went with her for support (me, her dad and mom). They put her on Depakote, made a list of things she should not do such has having men around. She just need to take care of her kids, find a job and stay away from the men. If she did not follow through with the rules then all the all financial support ended. It took her a day and she was back doing what ever she wanted to and wanting us to foot the bill. Which my husband had paid her rent, I stoped payment on the check. By this time we had the 2 older kids living with us, sending the 6yr old to school and the 4yr old to preschool. She sold food stamps to pay her rent.
At the end of Sept. we told her she needed to get the lights in her name that we could no longer help her out with bills. She never did it and the day before the last day of the month the lights were turned off. This was also after she sat in my drive way screaming and cusing at me and my husband and said F you to him. She told us we would never see the kids again and left with them. This was on a Fri. Monday me and the hubby had been out doing a few things and just so happend to be back home by 4pm and here comes the 6yr old walking from the bus stop, and mom was no where to be found. She showed up 45 min. late, the 4yr old was not in preschool, she couldnt do it on her own. So we took the girls back again. We find out from the kids that after she left our house she went home and called the police on me and her dad, who has a terminal illness???? There was no police report taken and they never came to my house. Through out the week she had tried everything she could to get her Father to pay her rent and lights for Oct. and finally she said well fine I will just move and take the girls with me. My husband didn't give in at that time, but it was close. I told him he needed to call her bluff, and tell her thats fine they are you kids you are 23 raise them. (she is staying with her sister right now so we knew they would be ok). By Monday the 5th we were getting calls becasue the 6yr old had not been to school, and the SD's landlord was sitting her stuff out in the yard. Me and my husband did go and get as much of the kids stuff and anything worth anything. It was not out in the yard. Then the SD ask if we would take the girls back again. For the kids I agreed again. We went to the other SD's to pick the 6yr old up and one of the other Grandkids ask me why I turned off SD's lights.... We get home and the 6yr. old says you turned off Mom's cable, and that I was mean to mom, so now I am sitting her justifing my actions to a 6yr old who does not understand only belives that her mother has done no wrong and everyone is out to get her Mom.
If someone can please tell me Was I Wrong???
So sorry this is so long :(
Notahappycamper, I am so sorry for your husband's illness. You two have enough to deal with without all of this extra. My BIL is bipolar. When he takes his medications, he is just fine. Just like us pretty much :) But when he doesn't, it's just awful to watch. One thing about bipolar, when they are "Up", they spend like crazy. Money goes thru their hands like it's nothing. My BIL bought a ford expedition truck at 18% interest when he was at his worst, in a "manic" or high state. the brain chemistry of a bipolar person is "off" and the medications help to regulate it. They DO NOT like to take the medications because it makes them feel "normal", not like "superman". There are links to mental health websites that you could look at. That might help too, if you understand what is going on in her head a bit more. There are also support groups for family members that could be useful to you and your DH, and her siblings as well.
As hard as it is, you need to get Social services involved, for the sake of the kids. Maybe someone in the family besides the two of you could take them sometimes? YOu said you picked up the kids from your other SD's, would she be able to help out ?....This lady is really not fit to be raising kids with her mental health issues and Social services, although it may take awhile, they will do something. Even grant you and your DH temporary custody, something, anything!! Please don't leave those poor little kids with this person until she agrees to get some help.
I agree with Shannon about getting Social Services involved. Social Services can intervene legally, and without any legal authority, you and your husband have no standing -- you're at her whim. She can (and is) holding her kids 'hostage' to her demands for financial support.
I'm very sorry about your husband's illness and prognosis, and hate to even bring this up. But have you considered what you want your role to be in the future?
Yes I have thought about what My role will be with the kids if and when something does happen to him. I do know there is no way on this green earth that I can deal with the mother.
I have told my husband many many times that social services needs to be involved and he disagrees. I have called social services and told them a bit of what is going on and they say they will not take the kids away from her unless she is abusing them or neglect such as food,clothes or electricty. I found that to be rather stupid, the kids are not clean when she has them and I told them that, and his response to me was dirty finger nails is not going to get a child removed from a parent. My husband is planning on getting her to sign a Power of Attorney child custody paper. If she does do that will that hold up in court? She called the police on me and said I would not give her kids the clothes I had purchased. They are going to school from my house and if the clothes go to her house they do not come back, and you get something that is to small.
Thanks for the kind words concerning my husband, at this time he is doing ok. His last 2 bone and CT scans came back clear no evidence of disease. He has lost a kidney, lower left lobe of the lung and he did have a met to one of his ribs that was radiated. He is on Sutent a cancer med. that seems to be keeping it out of the soft tissue.
Please consult an attorney before you get Social Services involved;
the attorney represents you & will advise you.
Social Services supposedly works for the best interests of the children, but they might easily put them in a group home or foster home since the children's grandfather has kidney cancer.
A good attorney is worth his/her weight in gold.
I'm holding you & hubs & the little ones in my thoughts & in my heart.
forgot to say that
you might enlist the help of the older daughters;
maybe they'd be willing to accept custody.
Once you get social services "in", you don't have any ability to get them "out".
Absolutely stop sending/giving money. Tell this young woman that she's drained you, that the only things you can offer at this point are a roof over the children's heads & lunch money for them.
& come here and let us know how you're doing; if anyone here has insight or wisdom to offer, she'll share.
...to mention.
If money is tight, ask for a referral from your local bar association for someone on their lawyer referral list or for someone who does pro bono (free) work on this kind of problem.
You can also call a children's advocacy organization or even a women's shelter for referrals.
Thanks so much for all the info. My husband did get SD to sign and notorized paper stating that we have Power of Attorney child custody of both girls. They did this today so we have gained a bit of control. I am going to talk to an attorney to see if I can get it registerd with the courts. That was also my fear with social services, but at times they are better any place as long as they are not with their mother.
The older SD's are almost as bad as she is. They are a bit more stable. The oldest has 4 kids of her own, and the middle one has 3 step children. To be honest we are the only ones who have the means to take care of the kids. They love having the cute shoes and clothes and being like the other kids at school. For the life of me I will never understand how any mother would not want to give their children everything and not want to be with them as much as they could. These 2 little girls are tons of fun and we laugh and goof off with them. SD is missing so much. If you ask the girls if they are ok staying with us or do they want to live with Mom they say we will stay with you and see mom sometimes.
Right now my husbands health is stable and we sure hope it stays that way for awhile. I am young enough both these kids could be my birth kids. I just don't want to do it alone. My husband is still in his 40's so he has alot of fight in him to battle this cancer.
Thanks again everyone for all the help...
from what you describe, it really does sound like your SD has bipolar. Another less known symptom of bipolar is sexual promiscuity. My sister had Bipolar as well.
My best advice to you, is that if you want to do anything to help her and these kids is to get her in a treatment facility. Not the psch hospital where they will keep her for a week and send her home with some pills etc... she need long term (like 90 day) treatment to learn how to manage her mental illness and get on the right medication.
I don't understand why you all only got power of attny for the two oldest and not the younger two, is there a reason why?
Your husband or his EX wife needs to file in court for custody. You can do this without involving social services.
Bipolar is a horrible disease, it is frustrating not only for the person going through it, but also for the family, it is worth the investment to have SD work through a treatment program or honestly I don't see any happy endings for this family..........
Lots of good advice for you here, that's great! I'm really glad to hear that your DH is doing well on his medication. I'm a nurse and used to work in palliative home care and it's amazing how far they are getting with medications that really help...!!
Fiveinall made a lot of sense too when she talks about the "promiscuity" of bipolar people and the best advice was to get your Daughter in law into a long term treatment facility. There is something called "the Baker Act" in which a person can be hospitalized for mental illness even if they disagree that they are ill. We actually have guardianship in place for my BIL, because I believe we were told by our attorney that a "power of attorney" can be revoked. There are good and bad things about guardianships too though, you can read more here about guardianships or just google it in your state
http://jackwilburn.com/JackWilburnGuardianship.ppt#256,1,Guardianship: Do you know the secret?
This is a link to another person with a story a little like yours and an "expert" reply. If you posted your story there, on the "expert" board, they might also be able to help further and give you more ideas/input. If she is declared bipolar, she might be able to get mental health assistance, depending on your state. I know my BIL, who lives in Florida, gets little assistance but some states have wonderful programs, even offering reduced housing, etc...
I know that you said that your husband doesn't want to contact social services but maybe the legal direction is the one to take. Sylvia also had some great ideas on contacting the bar association, etc...and about not giving her money anymore!! If you must, buy them groceries but never give her cash...!!
As Sylvia said, please come back and let us know how it's going, I hope things get better for you and your DH and the grandkids and his daughter too!!
I don't understand why you all only got power of attny for the two oldest and not the younger two, is there a reason why?
Yes there is a reason why... more then one, but the main reason is because her mother signed papers for the younger 2. I also have 2 children of my own and my husband who when is on his cancer meds. (4 weeks on 2 weeks off) He gets tired and all the other side effects that come with Cancer meds. We had planned on taking them all, but her mother did step up. She does have a few issues of her own but nothing like SD's.
We have tried not to be to pushy or forceful with her as far as the kids go. We never know what she might do, and our goal is to protect the children.
We have looked for long care treatment centers. She so needs that and she said she would go to one. Just can't seem to find one. Please if you know of one let me know...
We are in Indiana.
It's not an easy situation I am more of the one to just do it no matter what to protect the children. My husband and his ex-wife have much more control then I do. They both have medical problems. She has a heart stent becasue she had a heart attack a year ago. They both DH and the ex are enabler's. We have tried to keep her away from the guys and her mother is trying to get SD with a High School friend who always liked SD. It's a battle...
Well that's good that her Mom is helping out too. I can also fully understand that your DH gets tired when on his cancer meds, plus you have two more children to care for.
I googled "indiana mental health centers for bipolar"
and I got this. They have phone numbers and email addresses etc...but I'm not sure if this is near to you guys. It's good that your Daughter in law seems to be recognizing somewhat that she needs help. Please keep in touch and let us know how things are and if we can be of any help at all!!
-I am glad the other two are being cared for by SD mom. Please know I wasn't trying to be critical, I was just trying to understand the dynamics (maybe dad is involved etc)sorry if it came across wrong.
-I will do some research for you tomorow on inpatient treatment programs. It may be that she would need to travel out of state to go, but if you all can swing it, I think it would be well worth the investment ten fold. Some also except health insurance does she have any?
I also worry about your SD's children with her bipolar not being under control, someone unmedicated with Bi-polar can snap in a heart beat and hurt themselves or others. I know this personally because my sister went off her meds in January, and her roomate found her hanging from the rafters in the living room. What the hospitals offer (a week or two) and leaving a person to manage on their own is just not enough to help someone learn to cope with bipolar. I hadn't reseached much about bipolar until my sister died to know what could have helped her, but I have spent numerous hours,days etc.. learning to understand this diesase since her death. If I had only known what I know now, I would have personally paid for my sister to go to residential treatment.
If your SD says she is willing to go, that is WONDERFUL! half the battle is already won!
I will do some research for you tomorow!
