Chicago's Investment in Cleaner, Greener Water
Henry Henderson, Director, Midwest Program NRDC, Chicago, Illinois
Climate change is bringing major changes to our cities right now. Those impacts have been readily visible in Chicago where low levels in Lake Michigan and massive, violent rain storms have twice been complicit in the reversal (or re-reversal) of the Chicago River this year.
Think about it! Twice this year, the waterway coursing through one of the world's most recognizable skylines ran backwards. It is not the first time this has happened. It certainly won't be the last—in fact; we can expect it to happen more frequently as we struggle to deal the impacts of climate change on the aging, and often failing, water infrastructure on which this town is built.
Which leads me to a heartening announcement out of Chicago's City Hall today. Mayor Emanuel announced a dedicated fund of $50 million to be spent over the next five years on green infrastructure—the use of natural or permeable surfaces to capture, collect, hold and filter stormwater, instead of dumping it into the overstressed sewer system. I have not seen the specifics of the new plan yet, but we are BIG believers in green infrastructure at NRDC as a valuable tool to quickly address some of the climate impacts we are already seeing—and doing so in an extremely cost-effective manner.
Currently, Chicago's overburdened sewer combined sewer system runs into problems with as little as 2/3 of an inch of rain. Those increasingly common storms trigger combined sewer overflows where stormwater and sewage are dumped into the Chicago River and people's basements. With big storms, the river ends up sending that nasty water out into Lake Michigan. The status quo is already untenable and will worsen in coming years.
The City is quick to note that this is one of the largest voluntary investments in green infrastructure in any American city. That may or may not be completely accurate, but we are hopeful that, once we sort through the fine print, it will be a whole lot stronger than the anemic offering that the regional water regulators, the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRD), has floated as part of its consent decree settlement with EPA over combined sewer overflows (the practice of dumping raw sewage into the Chicago River when the system can't handle flow volumes during a rainstorm). We are in court now to enforce the law to compel MWRD to do better on green infrastructure and the rest of the inadequate settlement. And we will continue to push in that direction to help combat the flooding in people's homes and pollution of this region's waterways.
Work on this new initiative is supposed to start later this fall. And beyond the capital work, City Hall will also plan for the future with a series of studies that analyze the impacts of climate change on the frequency of rainfall and the costs and benefits for a larger-scale implementation of green infrastructure, both of which will inform the development of a comprehensive citywide stormwater management plan. That plan will be critical to ensure that the green infrastructure investment is strategically placed in neighborhoods with basement flooding and CSO problems.
The Mayor's announcement is an important step; one that we hope will result in an even greater investment in green infrastructure, on par with cities like Milwaukee, whose regional green infrastructure plan has a goal of capturing 740 million gallons of stormwater per rain event by 2035. Kevin Shafer, the executive director of the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, and his team have been using green infrastructure to better manage stormwater for years…and also without a regulatory push. Philadelphia has completed the first two years of its 25-year Green City, Clean Waters program, which relies primarily on green infrastructure to reduce CSOs. And, while Philadelphia is making its $1.67 billion green infrastructure investment as part of its 2011 administrative consent order with the state of Pennsylvania (and a new, parallel administrative consent order with the EPA), it's important to note that the regulators required the City to address its CSOs, but it was Philadelphia that pushed the green infrastructure solution to those problems. On the west coast, Seattle's Mayor McGinn announced plans earlier this year to create a regional green infrastructure plan that captures 700 million gallons of rainwater per year.
For Chicago to compete, we must have infrastructure that offsets the economic and quality of life impacts that climate change is already throwing at us. Green infrastructure is an important tool to get ahead of the problem—offsetting pollution and flooding in economically efficient fashion, while also bringing amenities into neighborhoods. Kudos to the Mayor for this important step. We look forward to even more.

Custom Motorcycle Seats-SunmarkRead MoreArthur Murray has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and The Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, The Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Clients who arrive to lessons partnerless will be paired up with instructors during private lessons and other classmates for group lessons as instructors assess their current skill level and make recommendations on the most appropriate program. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.800 118th AveBellevue, WA US
Marks Japanese European AutoRead MoreMark Wagner has been working under the hood of international automobiles since 1972. After securing a master's degree in mechanical engineering in Germany, Wagner ferried both his family and his familiarity with foreign cars to America, where, today, he teams up with the ASE-certified techs in his repair shop. The factory-trained mechanics dole out everything from tune-ups to engine, brake, and transmission repairs. And all of their work is backed by a 15-month, 15,000-mile warranty that prevents cars from worrying about waking up and seeing their name in the classified pages.1414 132nd Ave. NEBellevue, WA US
America's Best Car Care PlanRead MoreWith America's Best Car Care Plan, ASE-certified technicians keep autos running smoothly by injecting car insides with up to 5 quarts of clean conventional oil (upgrades to synthetic require additional charges) and performing a host of auto-maintenance services. Brake inspections and adjustments grant drivers the peace of mind that cars are safe and equipped for inclement weather and duck-crossing signs that come out of nowhere. Two tire rotations ensure automotive equilibrium can find long-lasting balance and tire grooves wear evenly.1407 132nd Ave. NEBellevue, WA US

The auto aestheticians of Dent Wizard back their service with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.13201 NE 20th StBellevue, WA US
Jiffy LubeRead MoreYou don't need a stopwatch to know that Jiffy Lube's services are fast, but if you had one, the Signature Service Oil Change would clock in at the 20-minute mark. And you'd be getting more than just an oil change. Jiffy Lube technicians also top off fluids, inflate tires, inspect key components, and diagnose issues before they happen?all in less time than it takes to replace a shattered windshield with Saran-Wrap. This blend of speed, quality, and preventative maintenance is at the core of Jiffy Lube's mission to maximize a vehicle's lifespan and keep it out of the repair shop. More than 20,000 of its technicians have completed an extensive training program certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). These experts can perform many of the manufacturer-recommended services offered at dealerships, including air-filtration and electrical services?only without the need for appointments or long wait times.

Autologic Quality Auto RepairRead MoreAutologic Quality Auto Repair's work philosophy is transparency. In an effort to build trust with their clientele, they welcome clients to stop by the shop without warning and see how they operate on other cars, and it's this same devotion to open communication that garnered them AAA's Top Shop award for Washington state. Their talented mechanics perform a wide variety of services on virtually every part of the car. The mechanics have seen it all on almost every make and model, whether it's routine maintenance and oil changes or in-depth repairs on the dozens of hamster wheels on the drive train.1407 132nd Ave NE, Ste 3Bellevue, WA US

He has told his children that he was "profoundly ridiculous."
A profoundly changed Middle East will emerge from these extraordinary days.
"I am profoundly moved and humbled to be asked to take on the CEO role at this company that means so much to me," Bailey said.
c.1300, "characterized by intellectual depth," from Old French profund (12c., Modern French profond), from Latin profundus "deep, bottomless, vast," also "obscure; profound; immoderate," from pro- "forth" (see pro-) + fundus "bottom" (see fund (n.)). The literal and figurative senses both were in Latin, but English, having already deep, employed this word primarily in its figurative sense. Related: Profoundly.

I know this might seem a bit harsh but I wonder if the people who run Bulbagarden have ever considered dishing out infractions to people who make spoiler comments on new games (BW2) before they have been released worldwide.
I just found something out about the new games which I really wish I hadn't found out until actually finding out in the game. It was a comment made by someone in a completely unrelated thread. No need for it whatsoever.
There are threads specifically dedicated to discussing the new games people. If you are posting elsewhere - please, please exercise a tiny bit of common sense.

Windows uses two different character sets, one for the files (cp1205 i think) and another one for the command prompt (cp850). By default java only support the file character set and jython only uses the default encoding from java. What happens when you enter a big O-Umlaut in a command prompt is this: 1) Java reads it as 0x99. 2) Jython (wrongly) puts it trough the default encoding which return unicode 0x2122. 3) This is passed to the javaCC parser which assumes it is only dealing with ascii and cuts away the top 8 bits. 4) The result is 0x22 (a double quote) which explains the syntax error. >I would appreciate a hint on how to bypass or correct this problem if it is not >a bug. You can enter the non-ascii values as hex. The fix to jython should avoid putting the input through the default encoding (step 2) until after javaCC have parsed the string. That is not too hard to do and it will fix the syntax error. Adding support for multiple encodings is a little harder. regards, finn

• Predictable results in the May Special Election. Disappointing turnout of only 35 percent. We didn't expect the vehicle registration fee to pass, but we did expect the results to be closer. Lane County voters haven't figured out that we are undertaxed compared to counties that haven't relied heavily on federal timber payments. Measure 5 and other tax limits put us in a bind when timber payments dried up. How are we going to catch up now? Nobody loves new taxes and fees, especially ones that affect low-income residents, but the options are very limited.

I'm worried about the future of one of our local newspapers. Granted we all have our obsessions and addictions, some healthy, some not. My parents, tough Catholic conservatives that they were, forced me to read our local newspaper early on. As I've told my young nieces and nephews: Third grade was the hardest four years of my life! Anyway, for the last 50 years, because of my parents' unrelenting insistence on literacy, I resorted to newspapers — a total junkie. I was especially drawn to crossword puzzles and still blame them as the "gateway drug" for my preoccupation with cross words during my legislative career — as a minority whip — but that's another story.

"This salad is a great hit with friends and family. I use rinsed, salted anchovies and leftover home baked bread for the croutons. You can also brine the chicken breast instead of the spice rub. Super
yummy, worthy "
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat cast iron grill pan over medium high heat. Add chicken and grill for 3-4 minutes per side or until meat is no longer pink in the middle. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl whisk together olive oil, thyme, paprika and grated Parmesan. Add bread cubes and toss to coat. On a baking sheet spread out bread cubes in a single layer and bake until golden about 8-10 minutes. For the dressing, combine garlic, mustard, vinegar and two pinches of salt in a bowl and process using a hand blender or whisk. Add mayonnaise and blend together to form a thick base. In a slow stream add olive oil. Season to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice. If desired, add anchovy to dressing to create a deeper, saltier flavor. Place ripped up romaine lettuce leaves in a large bowl and toss with several tablespoons of the dressing. Add grated Parmesan and toss to combine. Slice grilled chicken into thin strips. Arrange lettuce on a plate and top with chicken strips. Garnish with chopped parsley and anchovies, if desired.~ Recipe By :COOKS CHOICE SEAN & CATHY SHOW #CH1217 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #252 Date: Sun, 20 Oct 1996 18:10:01 -0400 From: Meg Antczak

When you want to get out of the downtown historic district for a bit, check out the Wormsloe site. It is absoultely beautiful, especially the entrance, and somewhat resembles scenes from "Forest Gump".
Actually, that entrance was the one used for several scenes in "Forest Gump." I think once Forest and a girl were riding bikes, another time, he was alone and I think, not sure, that his mother was seen walking along there.

How To Practice The Art Of The Grind

i just got off the phone with someone at fujilabs ...
the plant in greenwood processes the drop off film for
nearly the whole country ... there isn't a courier that picks up / drops off
the film any more, it is done via fed ex.
the person i spoke with said that if you live near a RITE AID pharmacy they
will return your negatives, wallmart, samsclub &c won't. she also said
that as of feb 1 2013 they will no longer have a 120 service.
35mm E6 will still be processed through dwaynes, and slides will be returned
it is just C41 that they discard the negatives, and upload --- >>print+burn cd's
at the store-location.
she also said they ( fuji ) does not have a process only service and that you could
refuse the prints at the store when you pick up the prints + negatives ( rite aid ) ...
sounds like it is almost time to buy a few press kits and process film oneself,
use a local processor, send out to dwaynes, or wherever you want, to bypass fuji altogether.

In the future yes.
Love History for all its worth and Sci-Fi's grip me and hold me in suspense, full supporter of the SWGEmu and Pre-CU SWG, I play Minecraft, Wurm Online and beta test Black Prophecy among many others in the past, current and future. As of this January 2011 became the Lead Model maker for the Decades of Development mod group for ARMA 2, first starting with the making of Decades of Tiberian a Command & Conquer mod for ARMA 2 then starting a World War 1 Mod as well for it to pay tribute to a war that has almost been long forgotten and to those who died in it.
In the future yes.
Try using a program called WinRAR, hope that helps. :)
None yet.
It is now good sir :)
They will be a sub group of the British Empire :)
Again they will be done when time can be allocated to them ^_^
We are working very hard to get the alpha to the public ASAP :)
America is planned but as of right now they are one of the last factions, we need to focus on the larger factions like Britain, France, Germany etc before doing others like Belgium, America, etc.
We are not sure about ACE compatibility at this time but I have it on the list of future things to definitely check over, ACE rocks so it would prove interesting to see how it works with our mod :)
As many as we can do/fit :)
I agree with Mr.Andrew, its always fantastic to see loyal fans comment again and again :)
No its not dead :)
Its just we are busy with both the mod and life right now.
None right now. Eaglke is busy with his work and life while modding, I am studying for exams and that is taking all my time and the same goes for Andrew. However hopefully after my exams I can start looking over the content and talk between all of us about what we need to polish and prepare for a possible alpha :)
This is amazing :D
Had to vote that up, that is epic in on its self :D
Thank you to you and everyone for the support :)
Can't wait for these :D
Very nice :)
Thank you ^^
Amazing mod so far :D
Can't wait for the next release :)
We are always looking for more people yes, contact me via PM on here when you are ready so we can discuss some stuff :)
Thank you :)
Thanks for the words my friend, as for release we are still on TBD and can not give any info out on that at this time.
Don't want to promise anything because being a fan of mods I have too been saddened when something went wrong with a mod I was waiting for, so we are doing what we can but its best it stays TBD :)
Yes, I might handle that I tend to know what its like when someone lacks proper installation instructions :)
Happy to hear it honors real hero's :)
We are looking in to releasing an Alpha for public testing to get both feed back and of course to spread the mods awareness, when however we are not sure :)
We are not sure yet :)
We are not sure yet :)
I44, the WW2 mod for Arma has working bayonets, we are seeing if we can't trade them the system for something in return :)
Read my above reply :)
But I am happy you enjoyed the trailer, we have Andrew to thank for this ^_^
You both must keep in mind that the parachutes are still there because we have yet to look in to removing them, so though yes you have pointed out a problem its a problem we already know but have yet to deal with and probably won't for some time.

Clues of Chaos
by Gary Caplan
"Full and bye" is an old nautical term. When the helmsman reported the ship to be full and bye, he meant the vessel was making the most efficent use of the sails as the vessel proceeded "close-hauled," or as near into the wind as possible.
The eighth of May, they say it was, the day he went to sea,
�Ner knowing that old England wept, as did his Bonny Lee.
The anchors fished and catted, the ship paid off to port.
The hands aloft unfurling, the breeze almost athwart.
The captain at the weather rail, his eyes on every man.
�I�ll have her south-southwest, ye swine, as quickly as ye can.�
Ye lubbers are the devil�s lot, you�ll sail my ship to Hell,
And back again, damn your eyes, old England bids farewell.
The king�s your mother now, me lads, your sweetheart Union Jack,
Now bring her up two points or so before the starboard tack.�
And so the Bounder came about, now sailing full and bye,
As England sank beneath the swells, and gone from every eye.
�Sweet Bonny Lee,� our Billy said, �I�ll kiss your lips no more,
For Captain Bane cares not at all I�m leaving England�s shore.
He�ll take me �cross the sea to where the bloodied guns will blaze�
Where splinters ripped from wooden decks will shorten life to days.�
The Bounder was a man-of-war, built strong of English oak�
A third rate mounting eighty guns to belch hell through sulfur smoke.
Two decks of guns, twelve pounders all, a frigate built for war�
Marines and seamen, six hundred souls, who knew what guns were for.
In sun-lit southern waters, the Bounder searched for prey,
The captain craving Yankee blood�the rebel�s judgment day.
Six months and more upon the sea and came November gales�
Young Billy often sent aloft to trim the mizzen sails.
�Sail ho!� he cried one winter morn, the time at seven bells.
A brig he�d seen upon the waves, hull down across the swells.
In that year Colonials held motives so sincere,
They put to sea in private ships�the licensed privateer.
One such brig was Amber Jane, her captain John McGee,
His ship, a lightened brigantine, his flag, Don�t Tread On Me.
Fast she was, the Amber Jane, and mounted twenty guns�
Two-masted with a seasoned crew, sweet liberty�s own sons.
The sands of Carolina Banks fell under Amber�s lee.
She sailed close-hauled, a larboard tack, her course now northerly.
�Mind your helm,� the captain said, �and keep us full and bye,
And extra grog for any man who is the first to spy
A British prize upon the sea with treasures in her hold,
Fattened by the Indies trade, or maybe Spanish gold.�
Amber Jane and Bounder, they met December third,
And even in old Hatteras, the broadside guns were heard.
Bounder had the weather gage, and, too,the bigger ship.
Old Bane believed he�d crush the Yank; he had her in his grip.
But battles on unsteady seas oft go to he who braves The heavy iron and broadside hell that tear across the waves.
The scuppers of dear Amber�s deck ran deep with blood and bile
Of forty men who gave their souls for liberty�s sweet smile.
The Amber Jane, she came about, and made her daring run
Through blinding smoke and musket fire, her masts and sails undone.
Bounder took a raking fire that came across astern,
To blast her rudder from the sea that boiled with fury�s churn.
�No prize today,� McGee proclaimed, �We�ve sunk her sure as hell.
Even now her bow is raised to bid us fond farewell.
�So lower boats, and cast them off to save the ones you might�
We�re bound for home this winter day, and Charles Towne�s harbor light.�
Our Billy lay among the dead on Bounder�s upper deck,
A splinter through his grieving heart; he�d go down with the wreck.
Sweet Bonny Lee on England�s shore, her prayers with no reply�
�Oh, Bounder have you Billy�s soul, sailing full and bye?�

A sense of calm came over me as I admired these stunning photos from Perry Vaile; she captured the breathtaking beauty of combining both Pakistani and Tibetan cultures into one simple and intimate ceremony, leaving me speechless. I'm thinking every Monday morning should start on this sort of note; see every peacefully pretty moment right this way!
From Perry Vaile… This stunning couple chose to celebrate their wedding in a beautifully unique way – not only did they incorporate their own family traditions by wearing traditional clothing (the Groom in a tailor-made Sherwani, and the Bride in a Tibetan red gown), but they also choose to have a very simple and intimate ceremony with only a handful of those closest to them, followed by a large reception (where they switched to a tux and short white dress) in a beautiful ballroom. The couple used beautiful cherry blossoms throughout their day and gave guests Ilam tea as a favor and Krispy Kreme donuts for the dessert!

Most recently, he wrote the biweekly "Citywide" feature column, as well as having published a year-long look at the life of an undocumented family in New York City.
His prizes include a 2008 Distinguished Writing Award from the American Society of Newspaper Editors for "House Afire," a three-part series on the life of a struggling Pentecostal storefront church. He also was awarded Columbia University's Mike Berger Award in May 1992 for his coverage of New York City and its neighborhoods.
Before entering journalism, he worked for several non-profit agencies active in New York City's Latino and African-American communities. He was also the project coordinator at En Foco, a Bronx-based arts group which supports emerging Latino photographers.

If a cancer patient is under Gerson therapy
•No drugs should be taken except aspirin. Gerson's prescription for pain relief consisted of the following: coffee enemas (given every two hours if necessary), 5 g of aspirin, 100 mg of vitamin C and 50 mg of niacin, up to four times in the course of 24 hours. He noted that this also produced restful sleep in even the worst cases
Gerson's low-tech genius never fail to amaze me.. he got this down since the 1950′s..
Today, there are studies on mice that proves that Aspirin slows down tumuor growth and that it also lowers down cancer risk. What a better way to manage our everyday ills and pains..
Can Aspirin reduce cancer risk
Small doses of aspirin can significantly reduce bowel cancer risk
For pain relief, throw away your Panadol… buy Aspirin, niacin and Vitamin C instead!
Other than pain relief.. here is why this triad is important for Gerson patients and generally everyoneAnd can you believe it our local naturaly beauty bloggers use all 3 ingredients for their DIY concoctions?
DIY Aspirin Lip Scrub
DIY Niacin Rosewater toner
DIY Homemade Vitamin C serum
Perhaps then, I can give Nanay a facial, a massage and pain releiver in one using all 3!

Months before the first case of Ebola was diagnosed in Texas, the state's public health laboratory had begun preparing for the disease to reach U.S. shores. And while the virus itself is an uncommon threat in this country, the response of the nation's public health laboratory system wasn't uncommon at all — in fact, protecting people's health from such grave threats is exactly what public health laboratorians are trained to do.
Occupational health and safety leaders honored, new policies adopted at American Public Health Association annual meeting
The OHS Section's annual meeting at APHA brings together the best of public health: solid research, community-based methods, policy and politics, social justice and solidarity.
New report chronicles the low wages of child care workers; Johns Hopkins black lung review still unfinished; California nurses go on strike; and OSHA calls on retailers to protect their workers during Black Friday.
A select group of small business representatives will meet with OSHA this week to discuss a possible new regulation to protect workers from infectious diseases. OSHA has been convening these panels since 1997, but it will be the first time that we'll be able to listen in on the discussion.
Dangerous workplace speedups a hidden side of the economic recovery; California recycling workers vote to unionize; emergency responders in west Texas face new challenges during energy boom; and the U.S. lags in eliminating the gender pay gap.
After more than a decade, OSHA used its "general duty clause" to issue citations to a poultry processing firm for ergonomic hazards.
Article series investigates lead poisoning at the nation's gun ranges; autopsy shows coal miner was wrongly denied black lung benefits; health care workers take part in mass protective gear training; and a Wells Fargo employee sends a big email about income inequality.
When it comes to substance abuse disorders, public health and the public at-large are hardly on the same page — in fact, they're not even reading the same book. And that's a serious problem for sustaining and strengthening efforts to treat addiction and advancing effective public health policy.
Latino workers face higher fatality rates on the job; health care workers in Spain blame inadequate protective gear for Ebola infection; California law aims to prevent violence in health care settings; and the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases the 10 deadliest occupations.
Worldwide, the numbers of children who die before their fifth birthdays is on the decline. Still, millions of children are being lost to diseases and complications that are completely preventable.

On This Veterans Day 2010
Caring for the invisible wounds: Part 4
November 10, 2010 - Don Bankosh stands next to the bathroom door in his bedroom and points to large holes he punched into it during a fit of rage several years ago.
He could have replaced the door. Instead, he keeps it damaged so he won't forget that day and others like it.
It is a daily reminder of his shame at that outburst, a warning to hold at bay the anger, fear, guilt and other effects of the post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, he acquired after nearly two decades as an Army helicopter medevac soldier rendering aid to casualties.
Imagine there was a cure for meanness. Well, maybe there is.
Thus begins a New York Times article on bringing babies into schools for the benefit of the children -- and the teachers.
Front Line Of Soldiers Suicide Prevention
But we, veterans of other conflicts, do know at least one major reason, multiple tours. The others come from what they've lived through and until very recently the DoD, the previous administration, bush, and those congresses, republican, ignored. As well as the citizens of who refuse to pony up for the results of the wars they want and send us into.
The Big Universe
I received three robocalls from Barack Obama in the days before the election. I listened to the first and cut short the second and third. The President implored me to vote because so much was at stake.
I had a brief conversation with the man who phoned on behalf of Sen. Barbara Mikulski and Rep. John Sarbanes. He wanted to know if the two could count on me. I explained that I've called their offices many times to ask that they stop funding war. And that I've always received the obligatory acknowledgment, thanking me for my input. Then, I told the caller, "But they continue to vote for war, so, no, since I can't count on them, they cannot count on me."
Democratic Base to Party Leaders: Take That You Smug Bastards!
By Dave Lindorff
The Democrats were blown out of the water on Nov. 2.
But it's not because of the Tea Party, or because of a resurgent Republican majority.
The Democrats deserved to lose because they have long since abandoned whatever principles they had, and more important, they've pissed on their most important supporters--the left, real liberals, African Americans, women, unionized workers, and workers in general. So I say hooray, all those groups have struck back!
Barack Obama set this disaster for the party and his presidency in motion before he was even sworn in as president, by choosing Wall Street hacks as his economic advisers in the midst of the worst economic crisis in 75 years, and by choosing as his key political adviser Rahm Emanuel, who famously called progressive critics "fucking retarded," and who, when warned that the GM bailout plan would hurt the United Autoworkers members who worked there, also famously said "Fuck the UAW!"
Well Welcome Brother and Sister Vets!!
To Our Reality!
All you younger Vets to another, of many, DeJa-Vu moments, this time the Country can't afford what's comin!!
With the house take over and actually now, not in numbers except just enough, they also control the senate, no need to filibuster just vote in lockstep as they did the previous decade they controlled, and especially under the bush, as well as the total obstruction the last four years.
Got Veterans needs, there are still plenty, forget about even Hearings let alone Congressional Investigations into, as to any tweaking of the GI Bill more likely rollback on that and much that has been happening in the VA and from the Administration as to Military their Families and Veterans. These so called 'teabaggers' Don't Want To Pay, Even The Vets Within!
I refer you to two recent articles:
Telling TEA Party thoughts?!? on Military and Veterans
This comment by Angle, caught it last night on CBS and my head nearly exploded, shows Exactly what she thinks? about the Soldiers we're sending into these occupations and their families at home waiting, which in turn shows what she, and (R)'s, especially this phony TEA party, think? about us Veterans, All Veterans, as well as National Security!!!!!
With Wars Come Responsibilities
Only 'fixing' the VA needs. and has always needed since Korea, is for the Country to Actually Pony Up for the Results of their Wars of Choice, and a strong dose of reality, thus causing the Agency to actually become the Best in the World in Care, Research, Training and more and saving money by doing so!!!!
October 22, 2010 - You can only hope that the very preliminary peace efforts in Afghanistan bear fruit before long. But for evidence that the United States is letting its claim to greatness, and even common decency, slip through its fingers, all you need to do is look at the way we treat our own troops.
The idea that the United States is at war and hardly any of its citizens are paying attention to the terrible burden being shouldered by its men and women in uniform is beyond appalling.
"Other Than Honorable"
Oct. 22, 2010 - Three young Orange County veterans of the Iraqi War who suffer from combat trauma are featured in a new documentary that captures their attempt to reintegrate into society and stay out of trouble with the law.
Available for viewing online for free, "Other Than Honorable" chronicles the men's experience with Veterans Court, a program offered at the Community Court building in Santa Ana that gives offenders a chance at recovery instead of going to prison.
Many veterans suffering from combat trauma lash out criminally, and the three men featured in the documentary, known only by their first names Adam, Zach and Thomas, run afoul of the law. {read rest}
"Make Agent Orange History"
Director of Ford Foundation's Special Initiative on Agent Orange/Dioxin to deliver message
Oct. 19, 2010 - The 2010 celebration called Make Agent Orange History is a two-part program including a keynote address with Charles Bailey, film screening, and a special educational session presented by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Matsunaga Institute for Peace and Conflict Resolution, William S. Richardson School of Law (Environmental Law and Health Policy Center) and San Francisco-based strategic communications non-profit Active Voice.
Veterans Administration: Life-Saving Campaign
VA Taking Life-Saving Campaign to Streets
October 19, 2010 - WASHINGTON – This week, nearly 1,200 life-saving advertisements will go up on city buses, bus shelters, rail and subway stations across the Nation displaying a message of hope for those who have served their country and may be facing an emotional crisis. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is advertising its Suicide Prevention Hotline through Jan. 9, 2011.
Nearly Helpless
By Missy Comley Beattie
I call one of my sons and say, "Listen, I have something to tell you."
He says, "As long as it isn't about bedbugs."
Expertly, with parental precision, I slickly shift from the bedbug scene in my head to one of the many issues among a plethora of plagues (POP). I talk about the "Emergency Call to Action" email I received about stopping hate, hatred of gays, hatred of Muslims, hatred of anything that is not sliced, white-bread, Bible-thumping, heterosexual America—this climate of shameful rhetoric, leading to violence, even in New York City, the location I love, and the place I see when I think of tolerance.
Don't Act, Don't Lead: Obama Stiffs Gays in the Military Yet Again
By Dave Lindorff
Candidate Barack Obama, running for president, vowed to end the ludicrous Pentagon policy of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," which, since it was established in 1993 by President Clinton has required gay and lesbian members of the uniformed services to hide their sexual orientation or be drummed out of the service.
In 2009, just installed in the White House, President Obama reiterated that the policy "doesn't contribute to our national security."
But now that a federal judge has ruled the policy to be unconstitutional, and has more recently issued an injunction barring the Pentagon from enforcing it, the president has responded not by deciding to let the court order stand, thus ending this particular form of discrimination against gays and lesbians, but rather by appealing the decision in an attempt to reverse it.
This is a case of the President/Commander-in-Chief following his own pathetic political policy of "Don't Act, Don't Lead."
Of Principalities and Powers ~ "The Enthusiasm Deficit"
As soon as Janet stepped through the kitchen door, she could hear the sound of crying--deep, gasping, soul-wrenching sobs. "Oh no," she sighed to herself. "Not again."
She put the tea kettle on and then walked over to put her arm around her friend's shoulders. "Brenda, honey, what is it? What's wrong?"
Brenda kept her head bent, tears pouring down her cheeks, as she stared at the kitchen table. "It's Barry," she finally managed to choke out. "He and his friends are saying the meanest things about me."
"What kind of things, Brenda?"
Brenda had temporarily brought her crying under control. "He accused me of being unfaithful. He said I didn't really love him, that I didn't understand all the things he has to struggle with. He acted as if I was stupid and ungrateful!" And she burst into a new round of tears.
Angry on her friend's behalf, Janet said, "What's the matter with him? Why is he saying those things?"
Manufactured and Testing WMD's
Crimes manufactured in laboratories
Oct 8, 2010 - IT was the lot of the United States (US) Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton last week to render a similar soul-wrenching apology as her husband, Bill Clinton did 13 years ago on behalf of 'God's Own Country'. In 1997, the humanist Clinton stood before the world and profusely apologised for White America's use of Black Americans as guinea pigs during experiments on syphilis.
Now We Must Serve Them
Speaking of 'teabagger' types {wingnuts} Not Demanding Sacrifice, this is printed in the UK Guardian, Not The U.S. Press!
Veteran affairs: now we must serve them
Uncle Sam is glad to wave the flag when sending soldiers to war, but patriotism means doing right by our veterans, too

North Wales MP's - U.S. Veterans Courts - PTSD - Justice
An important report on a Europeans review of Veterans, U.S. Veterans Courts, PTSD and Justice and Help for!
This is the type of lead the rest of the World used to look to the U.S. for, we were never perfected but working that way, and many here were once so good at it. Sadly this issue is another that comes out of our recent failed policies of destruction and terror waged on others, DeJa-Vu all over again. But shows that those who deplored our actions recently, and have been turning their backs to us in many area's including economic, are finding some of the old America and it's once Leadership Role in the World Community as we try to rebuild what we've lost and move back in the right direction!!
North Wales MP's experiences of treatment of ex-servicemen and women in USA
WOW: "The True Cost of the War"
The above, without the 'wow', was the title of a Congressional Hearing in the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs: 30 September 2010.
In this hearing, opening statements to the give and take talk back and forth from the Representatives to the Participants, it lays out Very Clearly how this Country has Failed it's Veterans not only as to these two present occupations but the long term as we older vets already know, from Korea and Vietnam forward. There was a Support the Veterans since after WWII and all the positives that brought us, even then they got caught up in the lack of funding and obstruction to veterans issues as to care and much more.
Say Whaaaaaaaaaat....................
I got sick and tired of hearing stuff like this years ago, real sick and tired, looking for funds or cash strapped!
This is soooooooo simple, now you folks Pay Attention!!
Give the Damn Bill To The American Public, Finally, for Everything Owed, and Start Collecting for What's Owed going Back to the Korean Conflict, even for our passed on brothers and sisters, at least those that left families, Got That!!!
And Quite Your Freakin Whining, 'chickenhawks'!!
Lawmakers seek ways to pay for GI Bill upgrades
Sep 18, 2010 - Improvements in the Post-9/11 GI Bill may have to be put off until next year if lawmakers cannot find a way to pay for changes, a key House lawmaker has warned.
DeJa-Vu all over again.................
As Iraq winds down, U.S. Army confronts a broken force
To View larger Image-Click Here
September 17, 2010 - When Lt. Col. Dave Wilson took command of a battalion of the 4th Brigade of the 1st Armored Division, the unit had just returned to Texas from 14 months traveling some of Iraq's most dangerous roads as part of a logistics mission.
What he found, he said, was a unit far more damaged than the single death it had suffered in its two deployments to Iraq.
Shifting Health Care Cost
And without a full Health Care Bill in place!
In U.S., 13% More Have Gov't Healthcare Since Recession Began
September 15, 2010 - More than one-quarter of American adults reported having government health insurance (Medicare, Medicaid, or military/veterans' benefits) in August. This number is up 13% since Gallup and Healthways started tracking the measure in January 2008, a month after the recession began. At the same time, 9% fewer Americans are covered through their employer.
Under bush the republican Congresses and Two Wars
There's another Very Important House Committee on Veterans' Affairs hearing taking place Today. As important as all that have in both the House and the Senate since the 110th Congress, covering issues that weren't even mentioned nor as the many complaints rose, over a number of issues, were meaningful Congressional Investigations nor Hearings held, as two invasions and still ongoing occupations were started and only grew over these last close to a decade now!
Veterans Bring Aid To Pakistan
09- 9-10 - A small group of military veterans are using the training and logistics skills they learned at war to conduct humanitarian missions in remote areas of the world. {read more}
VA as to Ruling on Agent Orange
September 8, 2010 - Many service members who were exposed to the herbicide Agent Orange while in Vietnam still live with its after-effects. That's why Veterans Affairs decided to streamline and speed up the process of settling claims of illness related to Agent Orange.
Brad Mayes, former Director of VA's Compensation and Pension Service, told Federal News Radio through the Federal Register, VA is "adding three new diseases to the list of conditions that are presumed to be service-connected as a result to exposure to the herbicide that we commonly refer to as Agent Orange."
Threatened to Kill Obama and Clinton
Add another in the growing list of extremely tragic, luckily no one was hurt in this potential deadly incident, and potentially leading to more that the Hate Rhetoric and Actions are bringing forth!
Ex-soldier arrrested at Fort Stewart threated to kill Obama
The bill for Agent Orange
We may be getting older, way too many have passed on needlessly, and have fought a long time for those that seek and support Wars of Choice to do their part 'Sacrifice' as to what is owed those who serve, but be aware we'll not let the Country treat this new generation of Veterans the way we were treated and ignored!! We don't do 'magnetic ribbons', 'lapel flag pins' nor especially 'purple heart bandages' with laughter, we do reality!!!
$3 trillion and beyond
When ever you hear Anyone speaking about Tax Cuts, especially that they create jobs but that's another issue, what they are saying is that they had no problem Rubber Stamping Everything for Their Wars of Choice and Now They Once Again Don't Want To Pony Up In Keeping The Promises Made To Those They Sent and Are Still Sending, DeJa-Vu all over again!!
The true cost of the Iraq war: $3 trillion and beyond
September 5, 2010 - Writing in these pages in early 2008, we put the total cost to the United States of the Iraq war at $3 trillion. This price tag dwarfed previous estimates, including the Bush administration's 2003 projections of a $50 billion to $60 billion war.

Born and raised in Chicagoland, moved to DC in 2008 and haven't stopped exploring the city. Every weekend I look for something new to experience, and hope to find someone to join. Though, this tends to fade off on Sundays during the fall, as I can barely be pulled away from the TV during football season. I love the city, but I'm always looking for reasons to get away. As a result, I love to travel, whether accomplished by day trips or longer vacations. I have a life goal of visiting all 50 states and am slowly, but steadily, crossing those off my list. Internationally, my favorite trips have been to Paris and Beirut, with both providing great opportunities for my very amateur photography habit. I've got a pretty sarcastic and dry sense of humor, with a healthy dose of, sometimes obscure, pop culture references.

Recent Ocracoke reviews
"Pat's Place was great. We absolutely love Ocracoke and if you are are familiar with it, you know you have to want to get there. The house is far enough of the beaten path to feel away from everything, but close enough that you could walk to pretty much anything except the beach. It was just my wife myself and our 10 month old, but it was great. Helena (the owner) did everything she could to accommodate us and we texted a few times during our stay. The nice thing about the house is that we could have easily shared it with another family. We hope to stay here again."Guest: Rich P. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 19, 2015View listing
"My husband and I booked The Studio in October to get away for a long weekend and a little R&R after a hectic, busy summer, and this beautiful little place couldn't have fit the bill more perfectly! Debbie was so welcoming, and although we didn't really cross paths with her during the rest of our stay, she made it super clear that she was always available if we needed anything. Perfect for when we just wanted to be alone and chill. The Studio decor has a warm, homey, artsy, eclectic vibe. It was very clean with several amenities and a well-stocked kitchen. So if want to cook, you really only need to bring your food and beverages. The outdoor, enclosed patio was cute and quaint as well. There are 2 full-size beds - one on the main level and one in the loft. We're tall people so the bed was a tad small for us, but it was super comfortable nonetheless. One would have to be pretty comfortable with the ladder/stairs leading up to the loft, so we just stayed on the main level. Being mid October we were blessed with near perfect weather. Rented a golf cart for a day and spent one of the days just zipping around the whole town site seeing, stopping at shops and popping in different restaurants along the way. Happily not too many places had closed for the season yet, so most everything was still open. We spent the better part of another day going over to Portsmouth Island to do some fishing. The charter boat taking everyone over gives you the choice of going to see the abandoned town or just dropping you off right on the beach. We opted for the latter with all our fishing gear, and were treated to a beautiful day of beach combing, fishing and relaxing. From what we heard from the others who explored the town: Bring.Bug.Spray. Lots of it. We didn't have a problem with that on the beach. Although we cooked in for a lot of our meals, we also tried many of the local restaurants. We would highly recommend Dajio's, Zillie's and for a phenomenal burger, don't miss SmacNallys! We would definitely come back and stay at The Studio in a heart beat. It was a perfect, relaxing getaway and definitely made us feel like we were on "island time.""Guest: Susan C.

"We had a wonderful time staying in this charming and comfortable cottage. Communicating with the owners was easy and they were very quick to reply. Honestly, this cottage has so much character and personality that it added to our overall experience of the island. It is well appointed and actually quite spacious.
