These jars are very simple but attractive you want to leave them on display instead of storing in a cabinet. Canning with them is simple close and snap.
Jars are nice but were shipped with no seals. Chatted with a rep from overstock and she said they were not part of jars. i told her that the invoice said jars with seals. She contacted manufacture and they sent six seals. I had 12 jars. Sent email and finally just got other six seals. Now that i have everything i think jars are great.
Great quality product. We use the canning jar for fresh pickles and it works exactly as advertised. A good value too
In my personal opinion, these are the best quality canning jars or storage containers on the market. They seal tight and are perfect for storing dry foods (i.e. grains, pastas, nuts, etc.).
I've just started using these jars for food storage. They're functional, durable, and look great on a shelf. I'll be investing in lots of these as I divest myself of plastic.
These jars are the perfect addition to our kitchen. The glass is nice and thick and the are tight when closed. We are happy with them and will be ordering more!
Great product, I will buy this again. I use them for storing our coffee and flour.
The canning jars are just as described. I will be using them to make sauerkrat and other fermented vegatables.
These French canning jars arrived very quickly. The are high quality and a great price. I am using them for bulk dry goods, grains, etc to help reduce my use of plastic and packaging.
These jars are functional and look nice. Having the jar top and rubber seal connected to the jar is a good way to ensure they don't get lost. However, it is sometimes awkward to have these parts attached, compared to using Mason-style jars. It's only an issue when pouring things out of the jar (having to hold back the top) or washing the jar. Overall, I like these jars and would get them again.

Hometown of Conway savoring Jeff Locke's Pittsburgh Pirate success
"We don't even have the baseball channel," said Pam, a slender, middle-aged woman with long blonde hair.
It's not that they aren't interested. In fact, they already had talked to Jeff on the phone earlier in the day, and their son gave them a scouting report on the only team to beat him this season.
Instead of watching Jeff pitch, Alan usually will sit in front of his modest wooden home and watch as cars pass. Or he'll chop wood, piles of which are twice his height and dot his yard.
For Jeff, this is home. And that word might mean more to him than it does any of his teammates.
Those born here rarely leave. And those who visit never want to.
He never took a plane ride until he visited Florida as a high school senior. He never left the Eastern time zone until he was 23 and making his second major league start in California.
The area attracts skiers in the winter, climbers and paddlers in the summer and explorers in between. Mount Washington dominates the landscape. At 6,288 feet, it's the highest point in the Northeast, and its fierce winds curl over the summit and whip the valley.
"Sometimes I have to pull over when I'm driving, just to look," said Bill Jones, president of the Mount Washington Valley Cal Ripken Youth Baseball League. "I'll slap myself just to make sure I still live here."
Those who know Jeff — and now, even those who don't — are bubbling with excitement over the success of this star left-hander who led Kennett High School to a state championship appearance during his senior season, 2006. Some swear Kennett would have won had Jeff been able to pitch, instead of being kept off the mound by New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association pitch limits. Named the New Hampshire Union Leader All-State Baseball Player of the Year at the end of that season, he remains the only two-time winner of the award.
"You walk down the hall, and it's black and yellow all over the place," said Noah Weeder, a substitute teacher at Kennett who was one of Jeff's teammates. "Well, it's Bruins, too. So it's a mix of black and yellow and black and gold."
Pam Locke tries to stay more connected than her husband when Jeff starts. She follows all of his outings online, and she is curled up in the living room, the computer in front of her on a low table, watching each pitch on an animated game tracker. On this Friday night, however, her plans have been compromised.
In the meantime, Alan strolls around his property. In one garage he has two motorcycles, the titles to which Jeff gave him as a retirement present after Alan had spent most of his life detailing cars at the GM dealership down the street. Another garage bears the battle wounds of countless days when Pam would sit on the porch and Jeff would pelt the facade with pitch after pitch.
Here, the Lockes have made their home for 36 years, first living on the land in a mobile home. Now there is a two-story wooden house adorned with balls, bats, jerseys, lineup cards and photos of Jeff's career.
"No, everything's baseball around here," Pam corrected.
While playing catch is a pastime for many fathers and sons, it was a profession for the Lockes. Jeff was just 2 years old, swinging his left arm to grab pieces of wood when his father first thought he might have some talent.
"They had a special bond between the two of them," Jones said. "It's not too often a 6- or 7-year-old kid and his dad share the same vision. And they did."
"He never resented it," agreed fellow teammate Robbie Knox.
"You're not going to believe this," Pam said. "But Jeff's only thrown 27 pitches over three innings."
High school star
Jeff is still the quiet and friendly guy who always threw hard, though most in the valley claim he threw harder in high school. Many remember those games Jeff's senior year when dozens of scouts lined the backstop at the high school baseball field, with picturesque views of mountains in the distance and an active train track running parallel to the third-base line, just 50 feet away.
But the scouts weren't scared off by this New Hampshire arm.
John Eastman, Conway's parks and recreation director and the former pitching wins leader at Kennett, said he never believed a pitcher from the Mount Washington Valley would ever get a serious look from major-league scouts. Baseball season is so short there because the snow doesn't thaw until April, so high school teams play just 12 games before beginning the postseason.
"I used to think that living in New Hampshire, in northern New Hampshire, you couldn't get a look because people didn't think you could handle the innings," Eastman said.
The Atlanta Braves drafted Locke out of high school in the second round of the 2006 draft with the 51st overall pick.
Local hangout
"Good pitch, Jeffrey," Stoney said after a nasty curveball got the Dodgers' A.J. Ellis to strike out swinging to end the fifth inning.
"He knows I won't go over there," Alan said.
As operations manager at Horsefeathers in North Conway, a place for "Sustenance, Merriment and Cheer," Stoney first met Jeff almost 15 years ago. Then, Jeff often ate at the restaurant after a youth baseball game across the street at Schouler Park.
"He still eats the same thing today he did 15 years ago," Stoney said of Jeff, who seldom steers away from the panko crusted chicken tenders.
Stoney has been "like a wall" for Jeff, Alan said. And whenever Jeff is back in North Conway in the offseason, there's a good chance he will be hanging out with Stoney at Horsefeathers.
"Good job, Jeffrey," he said.
Elsewhere in the valley, Bill Jones turns on his radio feed in his basement but he's missed all of Jeff's outing. He listens in as Mark Melancon and Jason Grilli finish the game, keeping the shutout intact.
Last week, Corie was watching one of those rare games at Schouler Park, a field as quaint and as awe-inspiring as the one depicted in "Field of Dreams." From home plate, a batter can see Cranmore Mountain in right field and the town center beyond second base. From the mound, a pitcher can see a masterfully restored train station off the third-base line.
"He's a pitcher," she said of Ethan. "He's just like his Uncle Jeff.
"I was just thinking, 'Gosh, it was not that long ago we were up here watching Jeff play in an all-star game.'"
After watching Jeff earn a win against the Dodgers, Corie pulled out her phone and texted her brother.
"Another awesome game," she wrote. "So proud of you."
All he has to do is look in his back pocket.

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Stalevo
This combination medication is used to treat symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is believed to be due to a lack of an important chemical (dopamine) in the brain. Levodopa is converted into dopamine in the brain, leading to the relief of Parkinson's disease symptoms. Both carbidopa and entacapone are given with levodopa to increase the amount of levodopa that is converted into dopamine.
Take this medication by mouth exactly as prescribed. Do not increase the dose or take more frequently without consulting your doctor.
Take only one tablet for each dose. Swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet. Doing so may cause you to get the wrong dose and also cause staining of the mouth, dentures, and saliva. See also Side Effects section.
It is best to avoid a high protein diet (decreases the amount of levodopa that your body takes in) during treatment, unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Separate your dose of this medication as many hours as possible from any iron supplements or products containing iron (such as multivitamins with minerals) you may take. Iron can reduce the amount of carbidopa and levodopa available to the body. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
The dosage is based on your medical condition, previous drug therapy, response to therapy, and side effects if they occur.
Some patients may experience a "wearing-off" (worsening of symptoms) before the next dose is due. An "on-off" effect might also occur, in which sudden short periods of stiffness occur. If these effects occur, contact your doctor for possible dose adjustments that may help to lessen this effect.
Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor. Some conditions may become worse when the drug is suddenly stopped. Your dose may need to be gradually decreased.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day.
If symptoms worsen while using this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, drowsiness, stomach upset, loss of appetite, dry mouth, or difficulty sleeping may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
This medication may cause the saliva, urine, or sweat to turn a dark color. This is harmless; however, it may discolor clothing.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Some people taking this medication have fallen asleep suddenly during their usual daily activities (such as talking on the phone, driving). In some cases, sleep occurred without any feelings of drowsiness beforehand. This sleep effect may occur anytime during treatment with this medication, including up to 1 year after starting the medication. If you experience increased sleepiness or fall asleep during the day, do not drive or take part in other possibly dangerous activities until you have discussed this effect with your doctor. Your risk of this sleep effect is increased by using alcohol or other medications that can make you drowsy. See also Precautions section.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: involuntary movements (especially twitching of the eyelid), fainting or falling, difficulty swallowing, stomach/abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, vision changes (including blurred vision), black/tarry stools, muscle pain, change in the amount of urine, mental/mood changes (such as confusion, hallucinations, thoughts of suicide), signs of infection (e.g., persistent sore throat), unusual strong urges (such as increased gambling, increased sexual urges).
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest pain.
Abruptly stopping or reducing the dose of this medication may rarely cause a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Get medical help right away if you have any of the following symptoms: fever, unusual muscle stiffness, severe confusion, sweating, fast/irregular heartbeat, rapid breathing.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.
Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: liver disease, glaucoma, breathing problems, heart disease (especially history of heart attack), kidney disease, ulcers, mental/mood disorders (e.g., depression, schizophrenia), blood disorders, sleep disorders.
To minimize dizziness and lightheadedness, get up slowly when rising from a seated or lying position.
This drug may make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages. See also Side Effects section.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.

Northeast Indiana is really racking up the bodycount of late.
On an only semi-related note:
I know I'm not originally from around here, but...
There's an airport in Waterloo???
The Walker-Rowe Airport, a grass-strip airport two miles east of Waterloo on US6.
The reports we have received so far are calling it an apparent homicide.
copied from WLKI....
Butler Man Found Shot To Death At Waterloo Airport
Saturday, May 16, 2009
(WATERLOO) - What has already been a violent week in our area has gotten even worse. A Butler man was found shot to death Friday afternoon at a flea market in the Walker-Rowe Airport main building near Waterloo following an apparent robbery. As of late Friday night, police were still trying to find a suspect. The shooting victim was identified as 63-year-old Raymond Edward Morrow. Indiana State Police Sergeant Ron Galaviz says police were called to the airport in the 4500 block of U.S. 6 at about 2:00 when a customer at the flea market found Morrow lying on the floor. He was pronounced dead at the scene from an apparent gunshot wound. State Police are leading the investigation with assistance from DeKalb County authorities. Galaviz says no information is being released as far as a motive is concerned although Fort Wayne television stations report a robbery may have taken place. An autopsy on Morrow is scheduled to be held at 2:00 on Saturday afternoon. Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call Indiana State Police at 1-800-552-0976 or DeKalb County Police at 925-3365.
On the evening news tonight, I see they have arrested 4 men responsible for this murder. Congrats to the quick police work in this case!
Jeffrey W. Cain, 51, of Saint Cloud, Fla., admitted killing 63-year-old Raymond Edward Morrow inside his flea market at Walker/Rowe Airport on May 15, Indiana State Police Detective Mark Heffelfinger said.
Cain robbed and killed Morrow in cooperation with Matthew W. Nelson, 49, of Orland, Clint Daniel Hess, 40, of Corunna, and Matthu Ryan Sanders, 28, of Hudson, according to court records.
The four men worked together to hatch the plan to rob and kill Morrow because of $4,000 Hess owed him, police said in court records.
Police arrested Sanders May 18 on an unrelated warrant, Cain was arrested Saturday in Florida and authorities took Hess and Nelson into custody today.
Hess, Nelson and Sanders are charged with murder, felony murder and armed robbery. Cain is charged with murder and armed robbery.

I could not believe my eyes when I first read about this.
I am glad they caught the rat ******** that did this.
May they rot in hell.
We can see the entire article here with the pictures of these evil men.
Remember, they are considered innocent until proven guilty.
"A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him."~David Brinkley
I understand you have a kind heart Denali, however, this victim is GONE forever. If the accused are innocent, they will have their day in court and that will be discovered. Yes, they are innocent until proven guilty, however, there are reported confessions. I sincerely hope the guilty are truely discovered.
Some of these cases linger on for years, I'm happy to see such quick response from our police departments.
"It is the power of thought that gives man power over nature."

I am truly glad that arrests were made quickly and I pray that they have the people that committed this horrible crime. I just prefer not to convict them without their day in court.
I feel horrible for the victim, his family and loved ones that goes without saying.
I think that the paper said that one of the alleged accomplices may have owed the victim money, (perhaps for guns?-my thoughts). If that is correct, it will be interesting to find out the rap sheet of that person, if he has one. And what background checks were required on that person for the sale of those guns. I am reading a lot in this at this point but will be curious to know some of these questions-perhaps taking some of this to a gun law issue????

Once again, a group of morons learn the hard way that anyone who commits murder in a group in this area will get caught.

Oranges are bad,
Lemons are rude,
Bananas are perverted,
And kumquats are just, plain evil...

Today's article in the KPC is informative and interesting with more details regarding the relationship between the 4 arrested in this case.
I really admire the spirit of the victim's daughter who posted her comment under KPC's story. I don't know the victim, his family or any of those arrested in the crime, however, I suspect that Raymond Morrow would be quite proud of his daughter and her outlook. I know I admire her for her attitude.
I will be interested to read the background of the 3 local men who were arrested. Sounds like the Florida man, Cain, had an extensive prison background. I'm curious if this man Cain was capable of influencing his Indiana friends ... or if they were similar in background?
Such a waste of the living.

I have discussed the worsening situation with the State Board of Texas with many others and we all agree something must be done but organizing physicians is like "herding cats". I am sure Texas is not unique in this issue and many other states will be interested in what we do. With the increasing rules passed by the board without input by the bulk of the physicians in the state, the board has become an over regulating, over reactive "bull dozer" rolling over good physicians over minor rule violations. In fact many of the rules should not even exist. We, as good caring physicians, do not need more and more intrusive government invading into our practices. We all do a nearly impossible job on a daily basis by treating the various simple to extremely complicated patients who walk through our doors and those we see in the hospital. As one attorney once put it "who else is asked to put their finger up someone's ass and tell them what's wrong with them!" "You do an impossible job in an impossible environment and held to impossible standards." We all want the best for our patients and most physicians truly try their best. We are all human and make mistakes, but do those mistakes require the public embarrassment, financial penalties, unreasonable monitoring and Gestapo like attack by our board? I don't think so and I hope you and others agree.
Our state board was designed to license good physicians and to protect the public from dangerous physicians. But now the extensive rules that have been passed over the years, even encompassing poor hand writing, have become excessive and unnecessary. Minor violations generate board investigations and reviews. Most physicians feel helpless against "city hall" and simply rollover and accept the excessively punitive agreed orders they are presented. The high cost of legal defense is not affordable by many of the physicians who are wrongfully attacked and so accept the penalty despite the injustice. This unchallenged attack of many of us and our colleagues across the state has set a dangerous precedence. The board has subsequently become more and more aggressive and pulls in physicians for hearings with little provocation.
The worse part of all of this is the physicians are practicing more and more defensive medicine, not because of malpractice issues but because of board issues. I myself am spending more and more time with my charts and not with my patients. I can't listen to my patients because my head is in the chart making sure I write enough to satisfy the board so they will not punish me. I am all for good documentation but there is a point in which it becomes excessive and for defense purpose and not good medicine. More and more physicians are now using electronic medical records to CYA. They can simply press a button and print out a massive note, consult or report that covers all requirements weather they actually completed the exam or not. The citizens of the state of Texas are suffering the fall out that this board attitude has created. Well meaning Physicians have been attacked so much that they and their colleagues no longer prescribe some life improving medications, over utilize expensive lab and x-ray tests and refer out to high cost specialist to cover their rears. How many of you will NOT write pain medications any longer and thus allow your patients to suffer needlessly, because of the aggressive attacks by the board on you or your colleagues?
I have talked to attorneys for the state board and they, off the record, have given me the direction necessary to effect the changes we all know needs to occur in Austin. My dilemma is getting the word out to the majority of physicians in the state to openly discuss debate and consider action necessary to improve the function of the board and thus improve the healthcare in the state of Texas. None of us want bad or dangerous doctors practicing medicine but we equally don't want to be attacked or see our brethren attacked needlessly and punitively over minor issues. By opening up a forum that all the physicians in Texas can discuss this issue we can hopefully improve the way the board functions and thus improve healthcare to all citizens of the state of Texas.
I am asking you to contact me, your colleagues; your state representatives and senators so that we may affect a positive change in the way the board functions and the practice of medicine in the state of Texas. This is a very serous call to ARMS! If we do not act now we may all be victims of this abuse. We must stand united or we will surely fall divided.
I have much more to share if you will contact me.
Michael D. Williams, D.O.

PLEASE HELP YOUR VOTERS! We are life long hard working people who are becoming homeless because the lack of work. Please vote for the UI extension and y'all are wrong about the unemployed being lazy scum who take advantage of the system. It is your duty to create the jobs, isn't that the way we got out of the last depression? I was republican and thought you understood the basic needs of your State. We will even dig ditches (and that's even with a degree…yes I did go to college compared to what you want to believe). We are about to loose our home because of this and I know more people are too, do you not have any compassion? My husband is an "American Tradesmen" and there is no work. Y'all went on a vacation for the 4th of July and now I find out that this may not be passed until y'all get back from another vacation? THAT IS SICK and INHUMANE!!….I pray that humbleness, compassion, and understanding fills your heart and quick because you are about to loose big.
I am disgusted in the vote you showed for the bail out bill. So what "pork project" did you get bribed with to vote aye? How dare you allow such a bill pass. I realize along with 90% of Americans the consequenses of not "acting" on the bail out. If the American people or at least the one who pays their taxes and payes their bills on time are willing to take the "colapse" head on, then allow it do so. We are the people not you selected fiew who put off the impression that you represent the people and our best interest. You just made a deal with the devil and he collects on his terms not the "Federal Governments" terms. Your vote along with all the others have just allowed Socialism further into America. So, get ready because the days of the "United States of America" are numbered, we will soon be called the "Socialist Republic of the United State." Think about it. It is time to start voting on principle and not what you and your speicial interests can get out of it.

Help defeat HR45.
Having owned guns for over 50 years, I have never used them against anyone (nor plan to) but would if forced within the confines of my own property with justification such as protecting my family from bodily harm. If I cannot protect my family and property by myself then I know the Police can't be there fast enough to keep home intruders at bay. A lot can happen in the 5-15 mins for the police requires to respond. I am pretty sure I could stop a intruder long enough for the police to arrive if I had a gun. I am too old to use other means to protect myself such as a Bat or knife.
I think this Bill HR 45 will just increase the black-market for guns and make the ones we have more valuable. It's kind of like the Drug Market… they are against the law and the market is very profitable for them. This bill will not stop crime…. criminals will have guns.
you don't have to shoot intruders and trouble makers to in order to make them think twice before committing an act of aggression. Just show them your armed too.
HR 45 is not taking the nation the right direction basically because we don't trust the government to stop there. Read up on what happened in Britain… they don't have firearms and crime has increased and the people are outraged and defenseless.
I urge you to please use your influence to stop any gun control legislation, such as the HR-45, that would infringe on our rights as citizens of this great United States of America. Our Bill of Rights are a part of why we are such a great nation. Thank you.
I am very concerned about my 2nd amendment right to bear arms. Our society is fraught with criminals and the safety of our family is in our own hands. I am concerned that my right to protect myself, and my children from an intruder is about to be taken from me lest, I agree to unannounced government searches upon my home. Neither choice is acceptable. Please help us fight to protect our right to protect ourselves. We do not need more government. We need more people in office to protect the rights we already have. I am counting on you to be one of those people.
Sunnydayz, I couldn't have said it better myself. There is enough government interference in our lives without having them coming into our homes.
I can't believe you voted for HR2454. Let's vote her out in 2012. We don't want you for Govnor either. You have been in Washington too long!!!
These bills are not anti-constitutional by any stretch of the imagination. It should be a right, not a privilege to have affordable healthcare coverage. There are far too many lies out there about what these bills will or will not do. Americans deserve quality healthcare and should not be denied coverage due to pre-existing conditions. How sad is it that as a country many of us accept the fact that when people are sick and cannot get coverage due to a pre-existing condition, we have come to just accept it.
If these bills are unconstitutional, then the same argument should be made about being forced to have car insurance, or wear seat-belts but nobody makes that argument because it would be ridiculous. The same should be true for basic health insurance. Those without coverage are driving up the costs for the rest of us.
The concept of comparing health insurance to car insurance is ludacris! You don't have to own a care therefore you don't have to have car insurance which mandates liability and comprehensive coverage of damage by your use of the car on tax payer supported highway systems, on the otherhand it is your God given right to live! so by comparing car insurance to health insurance you mean that it is the Governments duty to assign a intrinsic value to your life as it would damages to a car. The concept of basic health insurance is already in existance, it is called the emergency room. I have no need nor desire to be told to purchase health insurance by someone that lives in never never land aka. washington D.C. 2,000 miles away, which determines how I should live and eat. I would hope you cherish the liberty to think for yourself as much as I do.
So instead of forcing people to purchase affordable health insurance which is clearly far more important than car insurance we have the emergency room as our concept of basic care. Well that is the heart of the problem. For all of those people that go to the emergency room and cannot afford the procedures, the cost gets passed on to those of us who already pay for health insurance. The liberty to think for myself has allowed me to rationalize that it is far more logical for every American to purchase health insurance rather than pass on the cost to everyone else. It would also be nice to know that in the case that I or someone in my family has cancer or a long term illness loses their job, they will be able to maintain coverage in the future despite their condition. So you are right it is ludicrous to compare it to car insurance because the cost of a human life and the necessity of affordable basic care is far more important than any material item.
Before you go invoking the Constitution try reading it and doing some research on the men and vision which influenced it! I am so sick of these Neo-Cons trying to twist the spirit of one of the most sacred documents of human (not just American) history.
Thomas Paine (not that you would even know who he was) said "The cause of America is in Great measure the cause of all Mankind," Common Sense, 1776 Our beloved country, land of the free and home of the brave, is disappearing right before our very eyes! Would ANYBODY have even DREAMED 10 years ago, that our politicians would even be CONSIDERING some of the bloated, anti-constitutional bills they have been PASSING?? The US dollar is on the brink of collapse, China and many other debtors are bailing on it, and the FED just keeps on printing!! This senator has helped to usher in inflation, corruption, greed, socialism, marxism, and ultimately communism. If we continue down the road we are headed, we will be a police state in less than 3 years. The USD will be non-existent; our sovereignty dissolved with the stroke of "progressive" (which is code for communistic) pens….all for the good of the collective. There IS no right or left! There is either AMERICAN, or anti-American!!
The voters will hold all of you accountable come Election Day for selling THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO China by passing and letting your other brethren to pass bills we cannot afford. I think the first spending cut should be in politician's salaries. However, I am just one man with only one vote but I am not the only one who feels this way and you all in DC will reap what you sew come Election Day.

CFR and Bilderberg member: That alone makes you one of them, and not one of us. It's time for you to go. You don't represent the interests of Texans by any stretch of the imagination. You are part of the problem and don't have the power to stand up to your 'Masters.'
Let this be a lesson to you: http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/03/texas_sized_lesson_the_new_ton.html
Good day Senator, Allow me to touch on one of the comments that stuck out to me personally, first; specifically HR-45. I feel that this bill wouldn't be entirely wrong (and excuse my naive idea) if only it were to rid the firearm fully. For what is future peace if we still deem it necessary to arm ourselves in every corner? People feel fear partly because we are conditioned to do so by countless numbers of sources. While on the other hand, people are "forced" to commit crimes because of a flawed system across the board; i.e. insurance, education system, healthcare. We should be trying to help one another, not kill or even rise above. We should remain fully equal; no greying. We could even push this bill at an international level, should it go further as to banning all weaponry. Our government alone spends tremendous amounts of money on weapon systems upgrades as well as new weapon technology. This of course is spun off by some media as ,"cool". The direct effect of this is a mad youth.
A youth that mostly finds education boring. A youth that would rather help themselves than strangers. This could even be said about adults in this country as well. I know that this idea might seem farfetched (if not down right ignorant) to many people as their imagination has been crushed by our "way of life". But just imagine the amount of funds to be appropriated across the board. Any education crisis, gone. Health care can be free. Energy can be made and used better. Environmental concerns can be tackled. The change that this idea could bring us would be unprecedented. Hopefully, you might see a glimmer or hope in this idea. I just want nothing but a better life for everyone world-wide, and if some people can't see this then I hope they will in the future. Now myquick second topic, I noticed on your bill section that you are supporting bills that would temp. ban certain apparel production(?), if you could provide me with more information on these bills I would greatly appreciate it.
Lastly, I know that I might not appear to be the most credible of minds in manners of formal politics nor the most informed. I fail to see a concrete reason why I should not be heard. I am going to college, I am working on becoming the best possible person I could be. I have my fair share of regrets and terrible mistakes as much as the next person, but I am working on making up for them. To get a point, I would appreciate it greatly if you could provide me with some sort of feedback here, or if desired, by other means(we can work out those details on a more personal level). Please excuse my bad grammar in my comments, I am limited to a certain amount of characters.
I have so much more to talk about, but sadly my homework calls. Thanks for your time Senator.-Jonathan Montez

an ottergasm is the act of excreting all bodily fluids onto an otter at once, whilst having an orgasm. it is a magnificent, if not disturbing, process. It's illegal in the states of Texas and Iowa.
I was at the zoo today with my son, we saw a man having an ottergasm. he plucked an otter right out of the tank, he must have been pretty desperate. i covered little jimmy's eyes quick as i could, but he had lots of questions when we got home.

The second my wife told me that my daughter joined the Air Force Reserves my stomach turned. I thought to myself why the hell didn't she join the ARNG? Then again if I had stumbled upon a recruitment office that was actually OPEN instead of always being CLOSED or had someone to ever answer the damn PHONE, maybe I'd been an Air Force officer by now. MAYBE. But everytime I look at those Air Force uniforms my stomach turns. I mean, sure, the AF has the best looking women in all the Armed Forces and posh places to deploy to, like Qatar for one, but I'm forced to hold back almost uncontroliable laughter at those 1950's Dairy Queen/ice cream man uniforms. Still glad I made the choice to join the Guard. Well, guess I'm going to have to comb GOOGLE and bone up on AF junk.

Sounds like an exciting first step in a long journey.
Air Force MOS's are called "AFSC's". She has an associate's degree as a dental hygenist. Nevertheless, I encouraged her NOT to listen to any lip from her recruiter. Just take the list of available AFSC's, google them, and find out which one is the best fit. She's very athletic and only 24, so she should be alright in that category and she's made straight "A's" all her life. She'll either be drilling here in Birmingham at the 117th refueling wing or down at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, AL.Last edited by VICEROY06; March 22nd, 2013, 09:52 AM.

Davey Johnson couldn't remember calling for a suicide squeeze before last night.
Not to spend too much time rehashing the key moment of last night's 5-4 win over the Cubs — Wilson Ramos' suicide squeeze that scored Michael Morse two pitches after Ramos missed the initial sign — but this is just too much fun.
After the game, Davey Johnson swore he had never called for a squeeze in his managerial career.
"That was a first," he said. "That was the first time I've ever squeezed in the big leagues. The way we've been going, I figured it might be a good time."
So there you had it. Guess there's a first time for everything. Johnson, at age 68, in his 2,048th game as a major-league manager, finally decided to put on the squeeze.
Except, he admittedly wasn't 100 percent sure of that fact.
"Somebody would have to check the records," he said. "But I thinkRead more »

Is there a limit to the number of times one can vote for Morse for the ASG? I thought it was 25 times. Well, I've been on the site voting for the past 10 minutes straight and I know I've hit the "Vote Again" button at least 250+ times (and still going strong). Am I doing something wrong or is there now a no-limit to the voting? Oh, and I have been typing the correct number verifications in properly

So maybe this was the second squeeze Davey called for. Probably the first one in 23 years. That's also cool.I think the rules for ASG voting are different for the open voting (that you do for a 2-3 of months) than they are for the "short list" that we're voting on now.Vote, vote, and keep voting!GYFNG! Vote Morse!
- ehay2k - Jul 7, 2011 at 4:16 PM
Sorry, but that does not sound like a suicide squeeze. For one, the bases were loaded, so all runners had to start advancing on any ground ball.A safety squeeze would be a lot more likely, and perhaps the batter even called the bunt on his own.I bet DJ will remember when asked, although it was 23 years ago!

- Sec 3, My Sofa - Jul 7, 2011 at 4:40 PM
On the contrary, ehay–the force at home means it couldn't be a safety squeeze. The runner at third has no option to hold, he has to get there.
- Calm in Cali - Jul 7, 2011 at 4:41 PM
Not sure if this was mentioned, but the guys on MLB Tonight came up with a date pretty quickly on the last time a Davey Johnson managed team executed a suicide squeeze.I don't remember the exact date or number of games managed between occurrences per their research though. I'm pretty sure they said 800-something games which would have put it during his Reds tenure (around 1994).
- Calm in Cali - Jul 7, 2011 at 4:47 PM
But it does look like B-R proves the MLB Network guys wrong.
- Sec 3, My Sofa - Jul 7, 2011 at 4:47 PM
Drew8 said… Davey's first squeeze was Mary. His second squeeze is Susan. *******But his first suicide squeeze was a mobster's wife in Jersey, according to my highly placed (ok, just high) sources. Most people's first suicide squeeze is their only one.

JaneB.. Not sure if you heard but on 980 just a few minutes ago, Danny was on.. He is great! And he was pumping up Werth. I am sure they will have it on the podcast. And for those of you on twitter (like MarkZ), Danny is on twitter now. So link him up on the twitter feed!
- Tim - Jul 7, 2011 at 4:54 PM
Zuckerman P.I.——————-Back to baseball… I sure hope it's not Davey's last squeeze attempt. We're a team built on speed and athleticism. Small ball is good. Repeat after me: small ball is good.(although I'd love to see Werth hit a 3-run jack, or even a double in the gap)

On a side note, I've always been ok with people booing at sporting events. But after being at last night's game I've done a complete 180 (or as George Costanza calls it, a 360).I thought booing Werth was classless and beneath us as fans. I get it. He makes a ton of money. He's not performing. His defense even seems shaky. Still wrong to boo as a home fan.I gave him a standing ovation after his sac fly moved Morse up to 3rd. It's little things like that that can start a turnaround. Go Nats!

I so often hear people defend booing along the lines of: "it's my right". My response to that is: well, yeah, everyone has a "right" to be a complete a@@hole, but that doesn't mean it's "right" to do it.With that said, I don't mind booing someone who's cheating, or dogging it. But I really dislike booing someone who's obviously trying. It's not his fault somebody offered him $126M.

July 7, 2011 1:01 PM I don't think I would ever boo a "home" player but Nyjer almost got me to that point.I travel to a lot of road games and I think it was 3 years ago that Jimmy Rollins called Phillies Fans "frontrunners". He was right of course and every time he got up or touched the ball, there was a huge chorus of boos. I remember seeing Werth as a Phillie shaking his head feeling bad for his teammate. In the game I was at JRoll had an error. It was like 40,000 idiots all booing as loud as they could. Heck, I was cheering!We don't ever want to be like Phillies fans. I hope Nats fans get the reputation of being like Cardinals fans. Knowledgeable, courteous, and true homers!The other thing I HATE about our local fans is at Caps games where they scream during the Star Spangled Banner "RED" during Rockets Red Glare and some idiots yell "Oh" as if they are at a Baltimore game. I have written to Leonsis to appeal for patriotic respect as I think the team needs to address this stuff which they never seem to do.

- JamesFan - Jul 7, 2011 at 5:38 PM
Werth and many of our hitters look as uptight at the plate as Eckstein who is so intense that he looks like he might explode. Werth is simply not ready to receive the pitch. He isn't focused until the pitch is half way to the plate as he fidgets and fiddles. Every part of his body is moving and there is no rhythm to his approach to the pitch.

If Espy can raise that BA above .260 and the OBP and continue the home run and extra base hits barrage he's a shoo-in. No other platoon bat/switch hitter like him in the mix. And his fielding is gold glove caliber.

I'm glad to see a lot of posters here showing support for Jayson Werth. I have been so angry with our fans booing Jayson at Nationals Park. Its one thing if a player is dogging it, or is so aloof and self centered he doesn't care about his team, but this is not the case with Jayson. He is trying hard (most probably too hard) to do well and his performance is really eating into him, as you can tell just by looking at him. He needs our support. I'm going to the game tonight and will do my part cheering for him. Go Jayson!!! GYFNG!!!!!

Michele and Carolyn, I think that's what they call "taking one for the team." Heading back to the voting booth now… (and I was wondering that about Victorino's sprain, too).

Jose Reyes may be headed to the DL and Troy Tulowitzki has a leg injury. Wouldn't it be nice if Danny Espinosa was added as another middle infielder to the All Star roster!I hope Davey Johnson has called Bruce Bochy to remind him that Michael Morse has played LF this year as it is quite possible Ryan Braun won't play in the All Star game.Morse is in the Top 5 of all players in power numbers and Danny Espinosa is the 3rd rated 2nd baseman in the NL.I believe both are snubs and I realize there will always be snubs when you play on a losing team but guess what? This team isn't a loser right now!Another side-effect of Riggleman's departure is he would have been an All Star game coach and hopefully would have pushed for Morse and Espy.Back to punch in more N4s on my cell!!!!!!!

If you haven't seen them, check out JibJab's videos on the last ASG roster spot contenders:http://sendables.jibjab.com/landing/mlb_finalvote?partnerId=aw-6767948862323558734-996I busily texted votes for Morse during a wait at the doctor's office (the best way I have spent such waiting time in history). Unfortunately, in my haste, I voted several times for Shane Victorino. Couldn't they have made someone else N5?

It's been hours and no one has mentioned that Dan Steinberg had already researched the squeeze issue?

Yeah, the videos were nice.
