Black Conservative leaders: The NRA was created to protect freed slaves
America would not be if it were not for our guns!
1 Million Moms Against Gun Control
America would not be if it were not for our guns!
Today Rep. Allen West held the Conservative Black Forum on Capitol Hill. Black leaders in conservative thought and ideology from around the country came together to participate in a round table discussion hosted by Star Parker. The long list of distinguished guest panelists included Rep. Tim Scott (R-SC), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. J.C.Watts (R-OK), Rep Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) and Pastor and tea party activist C.L.Bryant. The discussion centered issues of concern in the Black community such as high unemployment, abortion and incarceration rates. "The conservative voice in the black community remains mostly unacknowledged by politicians and the public alike," West said. "While the conservative black voice has always existed, it is more important than ever that it be recognized and encouraged. More than 95 percent of black voters voted Democrat in the last election. I am hoping this forum will begin to shed light on how we can change this status quo."
Star Parker was an excellent moderator as she kept the panel on focus and directed questions with intelligence and respect. Emanuel Cleaver represented the Congressional Black Caucus and it was clear from the beginning he was not pleased to be there. He repeatedly stated that he didn't understand why we (Black people/conservatives and Democrats) had to keep "fighting" and making things an issue of one side against the other. I wonder if he's ever asked the Congressional Black Caucus that question? Maxine Waters called the tea party, who were represented in the forum, sons of bitches. Them sound like fightin' words to me, Rep. Cleaver! Abortion has had a devastating and disproportionate effect on the Black community and Cleaver was asked several times to address the fact that over 300 million in taxpayer dollars go to fund Planned Parenthood every year despite the fact that law prohibits tax dollars from funding abortion. Cleaver stated he would not vote to defund Planned Parenthood. This conservative woman does not find that surprising, considering the fact that its people like Cleaver who derive their livelihood directly from the harm inflicted on the Black community. That may sound harsh, but hell…the entire situation in the Black community is harsh.
It is that harshness that West formed this forum to address and address it they did indeed. Not only was it an excellent platform for Black leaders in conservative thought to come together and exchange ideas, it was a fantastic opportunity for Americans from all walks of life to see Black conservatives in action and get a better idea of what concerns us as a specific community within the larger conservative movement. This was an excellent and much needed discussion. I hope West and his colleagues will continue to host such events on the Hill. Tonight, Congressman West will be on popular blogger and radio host Stacy Swimp's show – Contagious Transformation – to discuss the forum and dispel some of the myths of Black conservatism. Dr. Alveda King will also be a guest. You can tune in here at 5pm EST to hear the Congressman and Dr. King.

MRCTV interviewed some of the attendees at the 41st annual legislative conference of the Congressional Black Congress. Apparently, many of them have a very low opinion of blacks in the Conservative movement.
First, we have Rep. Andre Carson, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus calling the TEA Party a lynch mob and that they want nothing more than to see blacks hanging from trees.
Then, Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) tries to gloss over the rhetoric and somehow blame the media for the terroristic language the Congressional Black Caucus is using and that Congressional Democrats have refused to rebuke. Finally, in the same video, Rep. West calls it for what it is.
Color does not decide conviction. Ignorance is not determined by race. Knowledge is one thing, but truth is a sword.

On The Issues
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness start with unborn life.
De-fund Planned Parenthood; intent was to kill black babies.
Life begins at conception- period.
Strengthen our National Security
Unfortunately, national security has become far too politicized with our elected officials using the issue as a means to polarize our country as the "war hawks" and the "peace doves." In response, the safety and morale of our brave men and women in uniform are often at risk for political gain. The judgment of our military experts on the ground is often underutilized in exchange for political purposes. National security isn't about politics. It's about defending America.
Reduce Government Spending
Has outline his plan: The 9-9-9 Plan
Nothing should be off the table. Every federal agency, every government program and expenditure must be reviewed and revised with a keen eye and a red pen. Leaders should be willing to shrink budgets by target percentages, and those charged with implementing those changes must be held accountable.
Fix The Immigration Problem
Illegal immigration has only exacerbated illegal activity, such as the horrendous crimes of drug smuggling and human trafficking. Illegal immigration also puts a tremendous strain on America's entitlement and health care systems. We must secure our borders, enforce our laws and promote the existing path to citizenship.
Release our domestic energy resources
America is a land blessed with abundant natural resources and the capability of the people to obtain them. Alternative energy sources, such as wind, solar, nuclear and hydroelectric are certainly part of the solution long term, but private industry must take the lead for true innovation to be a bigger part of our future energy needs. If alternative energy sources are found to be inexpensive, safe and plentiful, then American consumers will choose to purchase them. Let the markets decide which forms of energy fuel our cars, heat our homes and which ones will keep America working.
Unleash Economic Growth
America has long been a beacon of prosperity throughout the world. The American Dream has been attained by those who were willing to think, work and sacrifice to achieve it. Each dream was different, but each dream was made possible due to the freedoms this country provides.
Repeal and Replace Health Care "Deform"
Let's level the playing field under the current tax code and allow the deductibility of health insurance premiums regardless of whether they are purchased by the employer or the employee. That would help shift ownership of one's health care back to where it belongs, the individual. Patient-centered free market health care reforms have already been developed and introduced in Congress, but they are stuck in committee and they can't get out. With the right leadership we can get them out and get them passed.
Entitlements- Modernize Social Programs
The federal government has imposed expensive and often counter-productive social and welfare programs on the states and the people. It is time to admit the mistakes, and get the federal government out of the way. This will allow states, cities, churches, charities and businesses to offer a helping hand instead of a handout where they live. People closest to the problems are the best ones to solve the problems effectively.
Redo Financial Regulatory "Deform"
Eliminating the burdens of cumbersome federal regulations would provide an immediate boost for our weakened economy. It would signal to businesses and investors that the federal government intends to get out of the business of over regulating. Where regulations are required the states will do their job. Consumers and investors do not need nanny-state federal regulations to save them from themselves.
Alleviate Excessive Regulatory Burdens
Alleviating the burdens of cumbersome regulation would be an immediate boost for our weakened economy. It would signal to businesses and investors that the government intends to maintain conditions that allow for them to thrive, not to bog them down with additional costs they must inevitably pass on to their consumers.
Unbundle Education
Education is the key to unlocking a prosperous future. At the heart of education should always be the students. Unfortunately, education has become weighed down with administration that has shifted the focus from educating students to maintaining an excessive level of bureaucracy through expanded unionization and regulation. It's time to unbundle education from the federal government down to the local level.
In God Is Our Trust
Our Founding Fathers recognized a higher power in the formation of this nation when they said in the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal and that they are "endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights." America's moral foundation does not need to be rewritten. It needs to be respected and taught to our children and grandchildren. It is the basis for our concept of freedom. We are free because "In God Is Our Trust."
Federal Reserve
He does not believe there is a need for an audit of the Federal Reserve, but he has also said that while an audit is not a high priority for him, he has no objections to it either. He has said that it is highly unlikely that anything would be found in an audit, as the internal controls of the Federal Reserve are extensive. He says the problems stem from politicization of the bank rather than a failure to exercise due care for these internal controls.
This is one of the very few ares where I disagree with Mr. Cain. The Federal Reserve should not only be audited, but it should ultimately be eliminated.

Daemen College : Student Life : Daemen Insight : Fall 2012
Daemen's student athletes had an average GPA of over a 3.0 while nearly 50% of them were on the Dean's List.
"I think one of the most crucial aspects of the Daemen curriculum is the required internship. I was an accounting intern for both a private health care company and a certified public accounting firm. I was able to apply lessons learned in the classroom to real business situations. When my internships were over, each company offered me a full-time position."

DealflicksRead MoreDid you know that, on average, 88% of the seats in a movie theater remain empty during a showing? According to the New York Times, this phenomenon really surprised Sean Wycliffe a few years back when he went to see the Oscar-winning film The King's Speech and shared the theater with only two other audience members. With all the focus on online video services, Sean realized movie theaters were being overlooked, and came up with a concept that could help movie houses fill their empty seats. His brainchild became Dealflicks, a website that offers customers discounted tickets (sometimes with popcorn or soda) for same-day showings. Customers shop a selection of deals, each of which is specific to a particular film, theater, and showtime, and upon purchase, receive an email voucher they present at the theater's ticket counter. Dealflicks is partnered with theaters around the country, particularly independent and neighborhood venues, such as the treehouse of the enterprising kid down the street.321 W Katella Ave.Anaheim, CA US

Their events also feature movie-themed games projected on the big screen for audience participation.

Karns football coach Derek Witt resigns
Derek Witt has resigned as football coach at Karns High School, he and new Karns athletic director Charlie Sheets confirmed Friday by text message.
Witt, who also was the school's boys' track and field coach, is leaving to take a teaching job in Jefferson County.
Witt took over at Karns for the 2010 season on an interim basis in place of Robert Reeves.
Witt was a Karns assistant under Reeves (2007-09) and former head coach John Fulkerson.
He was hired as Karns' permanent head coach in late November 2010 after leading the Beavers to victories over Campbell County (14-7), Central (24-7), and Halls (9-7) during the 2010 season.
Karns finished 6-5 the next season and reached the Class 6A playoffs. The Beavers fell to a 1-9 mark in 2012.
"Nothing ill willed," Witt wrote via text message, "just doing what is best for my family and it has been an honor to serve the Karns community and kids for the last eight years."

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Brian Sims.
Congratulations to Brian Sims, who on April 24, 2012 won an election that will make him the first openly gay member of the Pennsylvania legislature. In a hotly contested Philadelphia election, Sims defeated incumbent Representative Babette Josephs, who was first elected to the seat in 1985. In the overwhelmingly Democratic district, Sims's primary victory is tantamount to election.
Sims, an attorney and civil rights advocate from Center City Philadelphia, has served as Staff Counsel for Policy and Planning at the Philadelphia Bar Association and recently stepped down as President of the Board of Directors of Equality Pennsylvania.
Chuck Wolfe, president of the Victory Fund, which endorsed Sims, hailed his victory. "LGBT Pennsylvanians will finally have a voice in their state legislature, and what a strong and unyielding voice it will be. We are thrilled for Brian, who ran a remarkable campaign."
At his victory celebration at Woody's bar in Center City, Sims said, "We were the second largest state to never elect an openly gay legislator. I'm excited to get to work."
Sims first gained national attention in 2000, when he came out to his Bloomsburg University football team after helping lead them to the Division II National Championship game as their captain. He remains the only former NCAA football captain to have ever come out, and is one of the most notable collegiate athletes to do so in any sport.
In 2009, Cyd Zeigler, Jr. profiled Sims at Outsports.
In this video from 2010, Sims tells the story of coming out as a football player.

Mitchell Clay
Rt 19 / Rt 10
(it was a little wet this morning on the ride in to work)
Viewed facing north:
Viewed facing south:
Why I almost missed it heading south:
(should have brought hedge clippers with me)
An old carnival chair ride with a ferris wheel in the background, all grown over. Kinda creepy looking.
"The Beckley Post-Herald in its issues of Aug. 29 carried a picture of a sculptured subject entitled a `Torment in Stone.' This bit of sculpture is placed on the Mercer County Courthouse grounds at Princeton.
"It represents Mitchell Clay and his wife, Phoebe, in a moment of agony over the massacre of members of their family in 1783. The article accompanying the picture of the native sandstone sculpture figure states that the Mitchell Clay family were `the first white settlers in what is now Mercer County.'
"This is an error because Andrew Culbertson's settlement on Culbertson's Bottom was made 20 years prior to that of Mitchell Clay on Clover Bottom. When Andrew Culbertson settled on Culbertson's Bottom that land was then in the Mercer County limits of today. Now far a word about the Shawnee Indian attack on the Mitchell Clay family which is memorialized in the stone figures at Princeton.
"MITCHELL CLAY had settled his family on Clover Bottom - now the Shawnee Lake section of Mercer County in 1775. Clay had a considerable tract of land there on the waters of the Bluestone River, about 800 square acres.
"All went well with the Clay family until August, 1783. Where the Clay home stood was off the line the Indians traveled. In the month of August, Mitchell Clay had harvested his crop of small grain, and wanting to get the benefit of the pasture for his cattle off the ground on which his grain crop had grown, he asked two of his sons, Bartley and Ezekiel, to build a fence around the stacks of grain, while he went in search of game to fill the family larder.
"WHILE Mitchell Clay was out hunting the two sons were building fence pens around the grain stacks. The older daughter in the family, with some of the younger girls, was down on the riverbank putting out the family washing. While this was in progress a marauding body of eleven Indians crept up to the edge of the field and shot young Bartley Clay dead.
"When the girls down by the riverside heard the shot that killed their brother they lit out for the house for safety. Their path to the house was directly by where Bartley had fallen. An Indian was attempting to scalp the youth and at the same time capture the older girl, Tabitha Clay. She was trying to defend the body of her dead brother and prevent the Indian from scalping him.
"In the struggle the girl reached for the butcher knife which hung in the Indian's belt. Missing the butcher knife as she reached for it, the Indian literally cut her to pieces before killing her. Several times Tabitha Clay wrung the butcher knife form the Indian's hand and threw it to the ground but each time the savage recovered it and used it to slay the strong pioneer girl.
"EZEKIEL CLAY, about 16, was captured by another Indian as the smaller girls in the washing party scurried to the Clay house which stood on a high knoll a little distance from the river on the Princeton side.
"For years the field rock chimney of the Clay house stood after the house was gone.
"About the time of the Indian attack a man named Liggon Blankenship called at the Clay cabin. When Mrs. Clay saw her daughter Tabitha in the death struggle with the Indian she begged Blankenship to go and shoot the savage and save her daughter's life. But Blankenship ran away from the scene and reported to settlers on New River that the Clay family had been murdered by the Indians.
"WHEN THE savages got the scalps of Bartley and Tabitha Clay they left the area with Ezekiel Clay as their prisoner. Mrs. Clay took the bodies of Bartley and Tabitha to the house and laid them down on the bed. She then took her small children and made her way through the woods to the home of James Bailey, six miles distance.
"Meanwhile Mitchell Clay, on the chase had wounded a deer and followed it until it was almost dark. Then he retraced his steps homeward and discovered the scene of horror in his cabin. Thinking all his family had been killed or captured, Mitchell Clay left his cabin and headed for the settlements on New River.
"A party of men under the leadership of Capt. Matthew Farley went to the Clay cabin and buried the two the Indians had killed. They then pursued the Indian party. They caught up with the Indians in present day Boone County. Several of the Indians were killed. "Charles Clay, brother of the two murdered Clay children, killed one of the Indians who had been wounded. Charles Clay killed the Indian who begged not to be shot. Ezekiel Clay, the captive lad, was hurried away by the Indians who escaped the Capt. Matthew Farley party and was taken to their towns in Ohio. There he was burned at the stake, the third of the Mitchell Clay's family to meet an untimely death at the hands of savages."

Huh. To be honest, I was passing on info I'd heard from someone else about the pdfs. I know there's a yahoo group that he runs. Ask there?
I hope I didn't just send you on a wild goose chase. I have seen the pdfs, though! I'm positive they exist. ;)

Tiny Cupcake Clipboard

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Make your own chipboard clipboard using this tiny cupcake clipboard project from Maria Nerius. Use this tutorial to make small clipboards with even smaller paper cupcakes on them!
- Cupcake paper punch
- Assorted scrap paper
- Fiskars Glue Dots
- Small self sticking notepad
- Sample laminate boards or 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" chipboard pieces
- Small embellishing clip
- Punch out cupcakes. I used the Martha Stewart cupcake punch, but you can also find other cupcake punches available. All are the right size for this small project.
- Remove any labels from sample laminate pieces or cut out chipboard pieces. Lay several small self sticking adhesive notes onto the top of the laminate sample or the chipboard piece toward the top.
- Attach the embellishing clip to top of clipboard. Using Glue Dots attach a finished cupcake to top of clip.

Giving this match thing another try
In a nutshell - I am your typical German, but before you get excited, no, I don't sound like Heidi Klum ... I've spent the last 15 years in the US and have no accent (*sad face*). I am also the type of person to use (*sad face*) in a sentence. I am a generally upbeat person. I love to laugh and occasionally laugh at myself. And I will laugh hysterically at my own jokes too, especially when they are bad ... and they are usually bad. I have been told that I am also a tad nerdy, borderline dorky at times ... oh well. Clearly I have a goofy side. I like spending time with other goofy people and those who can make me laugh and don't take themselves too seriously. Those who love to dance. Those who love to sing out loud even if they can't sing. I like to be around people who are nice, kind and confident. And bonus if you have a conscience too. Remember that German in me - I am also quite serious. It's all about business with me. I have a good work ethic, love working around the house, can be quite handy. Most recently I refinished some vintage furniture I bought. I can turn anything into a project, and NEVER run out of ideas. Heck, there never is a dull moment! That said, I do like to relax - it's all about balance, right? Last but not least, I believe that a nutrient dense, health conscious diet rules (yep I just said that), stress sucks (all life-force), exercise is non-negotiable, joy (like I said) is utterly contagious, and having fun must be taken seriously.
Aerobics, Cycling, Dancing, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I have Cats
I like Dogs

Very Liberal
Any place with a good Margarita. Nice places to walk. Good music. Museums. Art galleries. Movies. Interesting people. NYC. Theater. CrossFit. Hot Yoga. ...
HBO & Showtime HGTV & Bravo all things spotify - everything from classical to rap gluten free foods only, also egg, nut and dairy free (basically I eat cardboard) all things green and healthy
yes even with all that cardboard eating going on and the amount of work outs I do I still have fun ... side note: that actually is fun to me ... but I do normal people stuff too

text: SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT HERE."I spent years going to your big name physical therapy companies following multiple knee surgeries in the hopes of just being able to walk up stairs pain free. Nothing worked, that is until I found Athletic Outcomes. Not only did they use innovative techniques on my knee, but they also spent time addressing the biomechanics problems that were preventing me from recovering. I can truly say that Athletic Outcomes has enhanced my life immensely. Not only can I walk up stairs without pain, but I am now an avid runner and triathlete." – G. F.
