Alexander: "The Case for Repealing Obamacare Has Only Grown Stronger"
"I told the President at the White House health care summit that his law would increase individual premiums and it has"
Tuesday, January 29, 2013Liz Wolgemuth (202) 224-8584
Washington, D.C., January 29 – U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, today announced he is cosponsoring a bill introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to fully repeal the health care law, saying: "I told the President at the White House health care summit that his law would increase individual premiums and it has."
Alexander said: "The case for repealing this law has only grown stronger as American businesses and families have begun to feel the pain of its impact—a half-trillion dollars of new taxes, premiums going up, employers cutting hours and jobs just to stay in business. Rather than expand a system everyone knows is too expensive, we should be working to reduce its cost so more Americans can afford health insurance."
Alexander voted against the health care bill after warning his colleagues it would be "an historic mistake," and has voted repeatedly to repeal it. He has said the law should be replaced with immediate insurance reforms and step-by-step reductions in health care costs, such as allowing the purchase of insurance across state lines; permitting small businesses to join together to offer cheaper insurance to employees; limiting junk lawsuits against doctors; reducing waste, fraud and abuse; and expanding health savings accounts.
Alexander was asked by Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and then-House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) to represent Republicans at a summit at the White House in Feb. 2010 to discuss the president's proposed health-care law. He warned President Obama that premiums for millions of Americans with individual insurance would rise under the president's proposal. The president disputed Alexander's charge, but a report by the Congressional Budget Office confirmed that premiums would indeed rise.

Historical Traveler Reviews Stamford Plaza Melbourne
Nice except for size and noise
I stayed at the stamford plaza over the weekend with my family and was a little disappointed. Our suite had 2 bedrooms and the second bedroom was so small that I had to crawl over the bed to get in and out. The stamford is also dirictly behind a very ugly and noisy construction site, which starts at 7.00 am in the morning including Sat and Sun. So be aware.
Gradually fading, but still one of the better choices
Over the years I've stayed at this hotel about 12 times, just returning today from another visit there. I do stay at other hotels in Melbourne too.
About 7-8 years ago this was really a great choice. I love having a decent lounge/kitchen when I'm on a visit of more than a couple of days, and every room in the Stamford is a mini-suite. There are sliding doors to the bedroom so you can hide your bed away and have meetings in your suite - very civilised.
However, it is beginning to look faded. The rooms do need renovation. The bathrooms are laughably small and although they do have a spa bath they're not particularly inviting.
The other reason to stay there is the location. The Spring St end of Collins St is the best area in the centre of the city to stay and all about you have good shopping and bars/cafes/restaurants. Don't worry that the hotel restaurants are pretty ordinary, why would you eat there anyway ?
Personally, I still like it, but there are other very good alternatives. If you get a good rate on the internet (as I usually do) you certainly won't feel robbed.
Very unprofessional and under trained staff.
I recently stayed at Stamford Plaza with a group of friends for New Years eve. When we first arrived we were very happy with the hotel room, very nice furnishing and a good sized room. Was vry diappointed to find after getting out of the shower that there was no hairdryer in the room as stated, had to wait 2 hours for one to brought up to the room.
The lifts in the hotel were operating very slowly, had to wait around 10 minutes or more everytime you wanted to use a lift and then after our night out returned back to the hotel only to get stuck in the lift between two floors for 90 minutes. Staff were very unhelpful and found it quite amusing actually. Did not once asked if we were ok and only informed us that someone had been called by a holding up a sign that we could been seen as it was a glass lift. Very unprofessional staff considering it's supposed to be a 5 star hotel, you could get better service from McDonalds. Spoke to Asst manager at hotel and I couldn't say that he was much better than his staff. I have requested full refund and am waiting on a phone call from the General Manager now. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
No class...
My husband and I stayed at the Stamford in June 2004. For an advertised 5 star hotel we were expecting something with a bit more style and excellence! We found the room to be cluttered with big lamps, out dated furniture and wall hangings. The kitchen was barely a kitchen at all as we had to share some plates and cutlery between us during breakfast.
The Spa bath sounded great but it was ancient and noisey. Also there was no Foxtel (cable TV), which could prove to be an annoyance if you go during league season...
Friendly and comfortable hotel
once or twice a year my husband and I have a weekend in the city, to see a show, have dinner and explore new places etc. this was our first visit at the stamford, which we found to be friendly, first rate accommodation, staff who were genuinely courteous, especially the staff at Harrys bar and restaurant!!! we will definitely be back, and have no problem in recommending the stamford to others.
we stayed 16/7/04.
Highly unrecommended. Staff has a lot to learn
Highly unrecommended. Now there's an interesting story for you.
My wife and I booked 3 nights in this hotel in August 2003. Our booking specifically stated EARLY MORNING CHECK IN.
After a 30+ hour flight, we arrived at the hotel at 7:30 in the morning. No, our room is not ready. No, there is no alternative room for us. No, we'll have to wait until the cleaning ladies finish.
The lobby was freezing cold. Hours went by, we were exhausted, cold and tired but that didn't seem to bother the reception staff too much. We moved to the other lobby across the lane where at least it was warmer. We fell asleep on the floor like dogs.
Only got our room around lunchtime.
Room was okay inside but the windows were of the non-openable type. Want some fresh air ? Uh-oh. Tough luck.
To conclude: the best hotel in the world is not much good if they let you sleep on the floor. There is never such a thing as a hotel without a spare room. There is always a room available which they keep for unexpected needs (a geust's room flooded, the Queen unexpectedly arrives, etc.). I guess our needs were not really important.
We wouldn't mind if they told us from the start they do not have room for us at 7:30. But they took our money first and told us it can't be done only when we arrived.
Highly recommended only if you are happy with a hotel that doesn't try harder.
Consistently Excellent
I've stayed in the excellent Stamford Plaza hotel in Melbourne on several occasions suring 2003 and 2004. I have to say that it has been excellent on each occasion. The rooms are very well decorated and the facilities (including the pool and spa) are very good indeed. Room service has always been on time, is relatively competitive price wise and the menu is good. Staff have always been very efficient and helpful. I have no hesistation in recommending this hotel to my colleagues and friends.
Excellent value during Aus. Open 2002
I stayed there during the Aus. summer, specifically for the first week of the Aus. Open, when demand is probably highest. The location is excellent (within walking distance to Rod Laver Arena, and close to everything downtown), the rooms are very modern and moderately luxurious, the price was more than fair for a studio including breakfast (and with great exchange rates at that time, dirt cheap). The breakfasts (can be served in your room; you can choose from room service, e.g., eggs, bacon, etc.) were huge but the quality of cooking was not excellent. Service was ok but not gracious (in contrast to the Hotel Intercontinental Sydney, for example). I would definitely stay there again.
Excellent Hotel
Excellent service. Great Location. Close to all the Melbourne attractions. Very spacious rooms. Highly Recommended.
Best break ever!
Every November (except for 2002) my girlfriend & I get away to Melbourne for a 4 night weekend. We always stay at the Stamford plaza.
We arrive Friday, Friday night we go to The Purple Onion jazz bar in Flinders Lane. Saturday is the shopping bus tour, Staurday night is the Casino. Sunday is Queen Victoria Markets, Sunday night is theatre night. Monday is Fitzroy/St.Kilda/city shopping. Monday night is dinner in Lygon Street. Tuesday we grab whatever shopping we forgot or over looked & then fly home. We get all our Xmas shopping, personal shopping, meals & accomodation for under $2,000 each. Add up what you spend on Xmas each year & you'll be shocked. We love it so much we do it every year.

Bump...I was hoping for heady. But I suppose if someone else with something good wants to trade for a sixer of zombie dust let me know. I know people can't get zombie dust everywhere. I just want an equal value trade to try something I can't get around here.
Might be able to do this next week. I'll keep you updated
This would make my dreams come true...ill hope for the best, keep me updated.
Surly Furious anyone? I can't alot of these great beers that are mentioned because i live in stupid minnesota. But Surly we do have.
Normally I would be up for some furious, but I have a friend going up there in two weeks.
If you have anything else that's region specific I would be interested in a trade. I don't need crazy rare or expensive stuff. I just like trying new beers that I cannot get here. And helping others do the same.

Empowered Highlights Local Energy Efforts
Tuesday, 01 May 2012 11:18
By Kristie Snyder,
GreenLeaf Editor
Tompkins County is famous for its cloudiness. And it's quickly becoming famous for something else — renewable energy. Despite all those clouds, there's plenty of sun and wind, and more and more Tompkins residents are figuring out how to curb their fossil fuel consumption with a variety of sustainable energy approaches, from the tried-and-true to the purely experimental. A new locally produced documentary film, Empowered: Power from the People, highlights many of these efforts.
"Locally there is a huge trend" toward renewable energy, said Director Shira Golding Evergreen. "Art Weaver told me Renovus [a local renewable energy installer] has had as much work in the past two years as in the previous eight combined."
Those featured in the film live throughout Tompkins County, from Enfield to Caroline and at many points in between, including the City of Ithaca. They include households with pricey grid-tied solar systems, and those with low-budget off-grid efforts that include innovations like iceboxes and vegetable oil-fueled generators. Local solar installers Renovus Energy make an appearance, along with founder Art Weaver's new project, Weaver Wind. Also featured are the forthcoming Black Oak Wind Farm, along with the Ithaca Biodiesel Cooperative. Local social justice media group Green Guerrillas shows off its veggie oil-powered bus, and Town of Caroline council members proudly give a tour of the new town hall, which may not be beautiful, but will one day pay for itself with features including geothermal heat and an impressive photovoltaic array. You're sure to recognize friends and neighbors, or maybe those folks up the street you've been meaning to introduce yourself to — the ones with all those solar panels on their garage. The people profiled come from all walks of life. "We're hoping everyone sees someone in the film that they can relate to," says Evergreen.
Directed by Evergreen and produced by Suzanne McMannis, both residents of Dryden, the film is local through and through. Evergreen, a Cornell alum who returned to Ithaca after living and working in New York City for several years, runs a graphic design, web and film company, Shirari Industries, with her partner Ari Evergreen. Her prior film, Frac Attak: Dawn of the Watershed, took on hydrofracking (which she was horrified to learn about when she returned to town in 2008) via the zombie horror film genre.
McMannis, a local homesteader and farmer who has lived off-grid with her husband for the past 12 years, was inspired to make Empowered as a positive statement in response to fracking, a way to show "what we're for," Evergreen said. Connected via mutual friends, Evergreen and McMannis teamed up to make the film, in "a very fun and interesting partnership," said Evergreen. The film was shot over the course of a year, and then quickly edited for a debut at the October 2011 Tompkins County Green Buildings Open House Tour. It has gone on to be shown at Cornell, SUNY Cortland, Kendall, and Cinemapolis, as part of the recent Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival. Upcoming screenings as of press time include Corning Community College, Ithaca College, the Rochester Center for Sustainable Living and the Ithaca YMCA. People are invited to organize screenings in their communities, and Evergreen hopes to secure grants to develop discussion guides and teachers' guides.
"We made the film to inspire change," Evergreen said. "It's just another contributor. With any movement for social or environmental justice we need many angles, and the film is another angle."

Train Offered For Auction Is Not A Toy
By editor
Good morning. I'm Linda Wertheimer. Much excitement about a big bid on a New Zealand public transit train offered on an online auction. The broken-down train has close to three million miles on it. It's over 60 years old. That's significantly older than the highest bidder, who is four years old. The tech-savvy toddler's $30,000 bid has been removed, and the posting now reads: Adults only. This is not a toy. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

13 weeks today, and I've put on nearly 15 lbs already. I had the lovely morning sickness that you just eat everything in sight to help settle your stomach. My docs even went over my diet with me as they were "surprised" at my gain already. I should add I was 105 to start, at 5'9, so those extra lbs really just make me look like I've filled out more. And gotten nice boobs and butt as well :)

If local police are going to receive military weapons at all, the federal government has an obligation to put some reasonable constraints on how they are able to use them.
Would putting a body camera on every police officer in America end police abuse? Of course not. But there is evidence to suggest that it would have an impact.
Even if you wanted to ignore the fact that Michael Brown was African American, there remains an issue to be discerned; a glaring sore at the rotting core of our foundation; an idea woven into the fabric of our society.
As the police profession and our greater society deal with ways to rebuild (and in many cases build) relationships between the police and its citizenry, I fear that if outsider reformers call for police to ignore disorderly offenses the chasm between the police and the community will only widen.
The United States is under the effects of a big storm: Ferguson. The city has been struggling to return to normal since an unarmed 18-year-old African American, Michael Brown, was killed by a white police officer, Darren Wilson, last summer.
It is becoming evident that police agencies are implicitly prioritizing their own safety over that of the public. This reorganization of priorities is implied by a passive but evident willingness to increase their protection and firepower at the cost of civil liberty and comfort.
What has happened in Ferguson can either move us forward or push us back. Most of its residents are reasonable, peaceful people who want change. But right now, the fact is whatever happens in Ferguson affects black people everywhere as it relates to this singular issue of deadly police force.
If police are supposed to protect us, who is supposed to protect us from the police? Despite all this conundrum, we CAN have a better life and make a better future if we aim our resources, voices and votes in the the right direction.
As protests continue across the nation, it is worth asking what, if anything, can be done to address the perception that citizens cannot expect help from the courts when police officers are accused of unjustifiably depriving them of their liberty, property or even their lives.
Not even minimal justice was in the cards for the loved ones of Michael Brown or the occupied community in which he lived -- because that's not how it works. Officer Wilson, whatever he did inside or outside the state's rules on the use of lethal force when he confronted Brown on the afternoon of Aug. 9, was on the front line of a racist and exploitative system.
My husband always has the option of changing careers. My son can never change who he is. But my son and other black boys need allies in uniform to protect him. Allies like his father.
Officer Darren Wilson's account of the shooting of Michael Brown sounds not only like a Western film (an unbelievable one) but a Western film entrenched in masculinity discourse.
There is no doubt that black lives matter to the parents of black children. Our fear is rooted not in our ability to love and provide for them, but rather the realization that comes with daily reminders around us that their lives matter only to us.
The epidemic of monolithic thinking seems to me to be weighted far more on the side of white Americans, officers and civilians alike, thinking of all black boys as criminal.
Even if the federal government declines to prosecute Wilson, it is highly probable that the Justice Department under a 1994 federal law will take the Ferguson police department to federal court itself. Once there, upon a showing of a pattern of civil rights violations, they can force reforms under consent decrees with federal monitors.
Her tears said more than my words could express. As much as we were full of indignation, we were three white moms who had never considered bringing a photo of our sons to the local police station to say, "please don't shoot my child."

By Anna Merlan
Just what the title has to do with the movie is of some mystery, one that might be unlocked by those who pay close attention to the movie (and if you are one of those people, you really should see more movies). Perhaps it has something to do with the fact Rafi Gardet (Uma Thurman), whose name sounds like something you might order with a side of hummus, is an "older woman" in her sexual prime--older being her late 30s, and only studio executives would classify this as being older. (No wonder Shirley MacLaine was relegated to the final half of the Cameron Diaz-Toni Collette sisterhood pic In Her Shoes; in movie-studio years, MacLaine's been dead since 1997.)
This would explain why Rafi, just divorced from a man apparently her own age and possessing the libido of a corpse, winds up with a much younger man named David Bloomberg (Bryan Greenberg)--much younger being his early 20s, though Greenberg and Thurman look all of nine months apart. Rafi needs a young man to satisfy her needs. Men her own age apparently don't have the stamina to fuck her all night on every surface in her apartment, which is an issue writer-director Ben Younger, already a creaky 31, might need to take up with his therapist or a trainer or a stack of self-help books.
Or perhaps the Prime in the title is intended to signify the twosome Rafi and David become against her better judgment and his mother's wishes, his mother being played by Meryl Streep as though she's auditioning for a summer-stock production of Fiddler on the Roof. See, two is a prime number. So, there's that. David and Rafi have more than their age difference acting as a barrier between newfound lust and long-lasting love; their religions, too, are working against then. He's Jewish, she's not, which ain't kosher with David's mom, Lisa, who's either seen noshing on giant corned beef sandwiches on her apartment rooftop or sitting at the Sabbath dinner table on Friday night, alongside her husband and parents, with whom David also lives. This movie's so Jewish that come the year 2018, it'll have to get bar mitzvahed.
But there is one complication even bigger than the age and religious differences: Lisa is also Rafi's therapist, a fact Younger blessedly doesn't keep concealed from the audience for too long. Lisa figures this out long before Rafi or David, however, which makes her not only a lousy, conniving mom, but also perhaps the most unethical therapist in New York City. Lisa's guilt-ridden over the deception, of course, but not enough to stop Rafi from describing the beauty of David's penis during their myriad sessions that devolve into sex chat. Younger, maker of the overheated Boiler Room some years back (notable as one of the few movies ever to put Vin Diesel in a tie), throws more roadblocks in front of his lovers than a state trooper.
But the problem with the discrepancies in their age is a cheat; theirs is a June-July romance, at best. Younger might have earned his tension by casting an older actress, but Thurman, at 35, has the mien and temperament (and wardrobe) of someone far younger; and Greenberg, playing a painter of intimate, wide-screen portraitures, carries himself as someone far older. And Lisa's less a concerned mother than a pain in the ass; the woman loses all sympathy, and credibility, the moment she betrays her son and patient, yet still Prime demands we think her caring and loving. Younger, for whatever reason, simply can't abide their happiness, and so he destructs the relationship from time to time for no reason, using plot devices that wouldn't have been out of place in episodes of Three's Company. (One involves David's slacker-schmuck pal Morris, played by Boiler Room's Jon Abrahams, hiding in a closet, which angers Rafi . . . why?) His is just more conventional schmaltz, served up on a paper plate.

Senators press parochial hopes in spending debate
WASHINGTON Sometimes,it's the small stuff. As a government-wide spending bill nears the finish line in the Senate, chamber members are focusing on local concerns like keeping meat inspectors on the job and preventing furloughs at rural airports as well as re-opening the White House to tours.
The massive spending bill is required to avert a government showdown at the end of the month when funding for the day-to-day operations of every Cabinet department expires.
There had once been speculation that the measure could be a potential vehicle to turn off painful across-the-board spending cuts of 5 percent to domestic programs and 8 percent to the Pentagon but now much of the focus is on bread-and-butter issues as facilities back home begin to absorb the cuts.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., is pressing to shore up accounts funding the salaries for contractors at Army facilities like the Tobyhanna Army Depot, which plans to lay off 418 civilian contract employees in the coming weeks, though the $60 million he's proposing to add would barely make a dent in the layoffs. Sens. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., and Roy Blunt, R-Mo., want to shift $55 million from lower-priority Agriculture Department accounts to prevent furloughs of thousands of food inspectors.
"Without this funding, every meat, poultry, and egg processing facility in the country would be forced to shut down for up to two weeks," Blunt said in a statement. "That means high food prices and less work for the hardworking Americans who work in these facilities nationwide."
Both Democrats and Republicans are trying to reverse cuts that would close 138 air traffic control towers at smaller airports across the country, while supporters of military personnel want to restore funding for a Pentagon program that helps pay tuition so active military can attend college part time.
And Rob Portman, R-Ohio, has an amendment that would partially shield NASA facilities like the Glenn Research center in his state from cuts by taking money away from construction of new facilities in the South. He is not expected to succeed.
The Senate resumed debate on the huge spending bill Monday, with a key procedural vote slated for late afternoon. Negotiations continued behind the scenes on what amendments might be permitted to be offered.
The sweeping 587-page measure sets a path for government in the wake of across-the-board spending cuts that took effect March 1. It is necessary because of the collapse last year of the annual congressional appropriations process. None of the 12 annual spending bills setting agency budgets have advanced and the government has been running on autopilot since last October.
The legislation cobbles together the detailed, line-by-line budgets for the Pentagon and several domestic Cabinet agencies, including the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Homeland Security and Justice. Such agencies would still be subject to across-the-board spending cuts known as a sequester but having their full budget bills in place would help them cope with the cuts.
The measure reflects a lowest common denominator approach that gives the Pentagon much-sought relief for readiness accounts but adds money sought by Democrats like Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski of Maryland for domestic programs such as the Head Start early education program, health research, and highway construction.

Love the bling
"Had to have these. Sometimes I wear 6 1/2, sometimes a 7, depends on brand and shoe type. This I definitely needed the 6 1/2, and thought as a shoe it ran a little big. I have a wide foot across the toe, and these are perfect for me. So sparkly and cute. And because they are a wedge design, I don't feel they are party shoes only. I can wear to work, as well."

"These shoes are cute but I have a little fat wide foot so after reading other reviews from different websites I decided to order up a half size. Glad I did they are a little short and the part over the T-strap is not very wide so it is buckles up and does not lay flat against my foot. I hope they will loosen up some as I wear them around the house before my wedding day and be very comfortable. Some of the glitter has worn off from the wear and tear of shipping. Overall I like them and they make me feel 6 feet tall so that I will be tall enough to kiss my husband on our wedding day."

"I wanted to have a pair of silver sandals and really appreciate the sparkle, but the material on these shoes sheds and everywhere you go, you leave a bit of 'fairy dust' behind. I didn't like the idea that the fabric shed so I returned."

Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple
Seattle Betsuin Buddhist Temple made of brick looks more like a school at first glance. But then you notice the curling roof corners and ornate doors. The interior is dark, elegant and calm. The church hosts a Buddhist festival, Bon Odori, every July, often around the same time as the International District's celebration of Japanese heritage. The peaceful park across the street has an enormous temple bell sheltered under a canopy and a larger-than-life-size statue of the founder of Jodo Shinsu Buddhism. Be well. Zen.

Thrill Ride
Ex-navy SEAL Rock Babineaux is as Cajun as they come-spicy, sexy, and more than a bit wicked. But would he actually betray his country? Even his best friends on the special-ops Black Knights team aren't sure they can trust him. Now the target of a massive manhunt, Rock knows the only way to protect the team-especially his partner, Vanessa-is to run. Rock might think he can outmaneuver them all, but he hasn't counted on how stubborn Vanessa Cordero can be. And she refuses to cut him loose. Sure, her partner has his secrets, but there's no one in the world she'd rather have by her side in a tight spot. Which is good because she and Rock are about to get very tight.

1996 Subaru Impreza Problems
Rear engine oil leaks may occur because Subaru used a plastic oil baffle plate that failed. This issue is often misdiagnosed as a crankshaft rear oil seal leak or an oil pan gasket leak. Subaru released an updated design of the baffle plate made from aluminum that stops the oil leak.

Abington Heights High School rising junior Carl Maxwell Stewart is excited for the opportunity of a lifetime this summer.
The Clarks Summit resident was selected to play clarinet in The Sound of America Honor Band and Chorus. The group will perform a 23-day concert tour of six European countries. Also, a special ceremony will be presented at the Luxembourg-American World War II Military Cemetery on behalf of America's fallen soldiers.
Stewart has been playing the instrument since sixth grade. He also plays the piano and xylophone, but is partial to the clarinet.
"I can express myself more," he said.
He is thankful that his proficiency in music has allowed him great opportunities.
"It's offered me the advantages of getting to go around the world," he said. "The clarinet has taken me a lot of places."
Stewart, 15, lived in Florida before moving to Clarks Summit last year.
He credited the early instruction from Marissa Dinnino, his music teacher in Florida, for developing his music skills.
"She started me off on the clarinet and really made me a better player," he said.
He has worked with Cheryl Mozdian and Allison Covell during his time at Abington Heights. He believes the talent at the school has also helped him hone his skills.
"There are a lot of good clarinetists," he said. "Competition is always great. You can learn from them and they learn from you as well."
Stewart was overwhelmed with pride when he learned that he was chosen to represent his country in the band.
"I was in shock," he said. "I didn't know what to do."
He is most looking forward to visiting Paris, because of the city's high fashion, and seeing the Eiffel Tower.
Stewart is anxious to perform under the direction of Clyde M. Barr, President of North American Music Festivals.
"I know I can learn a lot from him," he said. "I know he's not going to sugarcoat anything. It's always good to hear criticism."
As for career goals, Stewart hopes to continue traveling. He also hopes to qualify for a music scholarship.
"Music won't be my whole life, but I would still like for it to be a big part of it," he said.
The teen is inspired by the work of legendary jazz musician Miles Davis.
"His music is really laid back and creative," Stewart said.
His mother, Tandieka, believes the advanced placement music class designed for seniors really challenged her son and helped further develop his skills.
"It improved his ability to read music and play in tune," she said.
As a freshman in Sunrise, Fla., he performed at the Dillard Center for Performing Arts.
Stewart is the son of Carl Stewart and Tandieka McDonald.

Conservatize Me: How I Tried to Become a Righty with the Help of Richard Nixon, Sean Hannity, Toby Keith, and Beef Jerkyby John Moe
"The results aren't as hilarious as the author probably thought they would turn out, but they still yield amusingly trenchant insights into the cultural division in America....As interesting as Conservatize Me is to read, it can often be a frustrating book. Perhaps Moe's humor plays better in a broadcast medium, but on the page it is often flat and unfunny, like the guy in the summertime saying 'how about this heat?' I'm firmly liberal in many of my beliefs, but his attempts at this sort of 'nudge nudge' school of humor felt more like an elbow in the solar plexus from a roller derby player." Gerry Donaghy, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
We always hear how everyone in America is firmly planted in red or blue. They're permanently conservative or irreversibly liberal. But are we all really that locked in to the left or the right? Is America still a place where it's possible to change someone's mind and get them to cross over to the other side of the ideological fence? Is it possible to do that to yourself?
For John Moe, it simply wasn't enough to just read the Wall Street Journal editorial page a little more often or buy a framed picture of Barry Goldwater. He went in all the way, drinking deep from all aspects of the conservative universe to see if he could become that which he encountered.
Raised in a family of proud left-wingers (except for his late father, whose fondness for Nixon he is forced to confront) and living in deeply liberal Seattle most of his life, Moe set out to determine if what we believe is based on environment or actual conviction. Was there actually a conservative trapped inside him all along, just yearning to be set free? Moe puts himself on a strict conservative regimen: He resets his radio dials from NPR to Rush Limbaugh, goes head-to-head with some of today's most influential conservative thinkers for a series of conversion sessions, makes pilgrimages to the Ronald Reagan and Richard M. Nixon museums, spends the Fourth of July in the most Bush-friendly county in the country, attempts to set his inner Charlton Heston loose at a gun range, flies cross-country to be nearer to Toby Keith, and test-drives the type of massive gas-guzzling SUV so feared and loathed by liberals (and becomes uncomfortably fond of it). Through it all he tries to maintain positive standing with his lefty-wife and young but already liberal kids, including their four-year-old son, who joins the Sierra Club. These are but a few of the adventures chronicled in Moe's hilarious and timely first book.
Conservatize Me will strike a powerful chord with millions of disgruntled Americans ready for a fresh, humorous, and highly entertaining look at our country's political landscape. Moe's sharply observed prose will have enormous appeal for anyone interested in a new perspective on debates that have, for years, preoccupied our country and dominated our bestseller lists.
Will Moe end up getting a Dick Cheney tattoo and swearing loyalty to the Christian Coalition? Will he get a Dennis Kucinich tattoo and dedicate his life to cooking vegan food at protest rallies? Read Conservatize Me and find out.
"As a Seattle public radio commentator deeply entrenched in a liberal mindset, Moe wondered whether a sudden immersion in conservatism could change his worldview-so he saturated himself with nothing but right wing people, media and culture for an entire month. His subsequent misadventures are of uneven quality: thoughtful conversations with National Review editor Rich Lowry and talk radio host Michael Medved, among others, are interspersed with awkward attempts to provoke representatives of groups like the Family Research Council. At a visit to a fundamentalist church service, for example, he repeatedly asks if they'll be 'able to stop The Gay' from destroying marriage. Moe also takes easy potshots at country music, SUVs and other red-state staples, and watches movies like Red Dawn and Forrest Gump for purported conservative themes. Conversations with conservative intellectuals, which force him to acknowledge greater shades of ambiguity, provide less fodder for mockery. His commonsense conclusion — exposure to new ideas can be eye opening, if not exactly transformative — will confirm the attitude of readers who have already embraced political complexity." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Funniest of all are the interspersed film reviews, which assign a numerical score for the effectiveness of a movie's conservative message. Imagine P.J. O'Rourke describing the effects of chewing tobacco rather than doing drugs." Kirkus Reviews
"[Moe] turns out to be an earnest searcher who spends far more time in some of his conservative pursuits than might be necessary or even advisable....Best of all, Moe fills his debut book with a host of fascinating insights about this country's current political divide and its antagonisms." Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Liberal meets conservative in this eye-opening look at the perilous state of American politics in the tradition of Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me.
