Operation Purple: Free Summer Camp for Kids of Deployed Service Members
The National Military Family Association, an organization dedicated to educating and supporting military families on benefits, rights and services sponsors a free summer camp for children of deployed service members. This camp, Operation Purple, provides fun, excitement and a safe, positive outlet for children of deployed military service members.
The goal of these free camps is to bring together youth who are experiencing some stage of deployment and the stress that goes along with it for a week packed full of fun while providing campers a safe place to express their worries, fear and concerns with others who can empathize and understand. In the midst of rafting, canoeing, sports and too many activities to mention, campers learn coping skills while developing their own support system among their fellow campers, their peers. The friendships developed during their week-long camp experience have aided kids to "better handle life's ups and downs."
Registration for Operation Purple began March 15. This year's camps will be in 26 states. Full details of the camps is available on its Web site, www.operationpurple.org. Children of all deployed uniformed services (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, NOAA, National Guard and Reserve) are eligible as well as those facing an upcoming deployment between now and August 2008. Note that while the total cost of the camp is free, transportation to and from camp are not included.
This year, NMFA will provide 3,500 military children the opportunity to attend an Operation Purple summer camp. Check out its Web site, www.nmfa.org, for tips about knowing if your child is ready for an overnight camp as well as how to prepare your children for a summer camp experience.
Operation Purple provides a great opportunity for your children to have fun with a staff trained to understand and support the needs of children of deployed parents. Remember, registration began March 15, and registration is limited so apply early.
Other summer camps are available to provide a memorable summer for you children. In your search for the right camp for your children, check out the National Camp Association's free resource and referral service at www.summercamp.org. This Web site is more than a summer camp directory, offering referrals for parents and educational information on selecting the appropriate camp for you and your children. It is a great resource.
Don't forget to check out your installation's youth and teen center for day camps, sleepovers and camping trips. Most centers have a summer schedule packed full of fun, age appropriate activities for your teens and children.
I want to identify one more resource for summer camps. The Salvation Army continues to be a supporter of military families. Check out your local Salvation Army for camps they are sponsoring in your area. Many of these camps are free or fee-based on ability to pay and many camps include transportation to and from the camp. They have a reputation for outstanding summer camps.
The Salvation Army also published a guide of 10 ways to prepare your children for an overnight summer camp. Please e-mail me or check out my Web site at www.homefrontinfocus.com for a free copy of this guide.
I still have crafts I made, photos I took and wonderful memories of my summer camp experience. Consider a summer camp experience for your children.

Different terms used to sell and measure concrete
I am getting estimates on a driveway from a home in Northern California and wonder what to look for in terms of the type of cement used. Previously you mentioned that one should use a 3,500- to 4,000-pound test for the driveway. How many sacks per yard does that translate to? One contractor said he uses only 3/4 aggregates. Is that better or worse than Portland cement?
The strength of concrete is rated by the number of bags used in a mixture of sand and aggregate to form a cubic yard of concrete (3 by 3 by 3 feet). Some companies prefer to sell their mixture by the test of the concrete, as in 3,500 psi (pounds per square inch) — sometimes referred to as "pound test" — while other companies sell their concrete by counting the bags of cement used per cubic yard.
A typical 3,000-pound test concrete is equal to a five-bag mix. The more cement used per cubic yard of concrete, the higher the test rating will be. A 51/2-bag mix is equal to a 3,500-pound test.
It's all marketing or what is custom for your area. In Indiana, we order by the pound test and just 30 minutes up the road they sell concrete by the bags mixed. The aggregate, sand and gravel or stone makes up the majority of the concrete mix other than the water added. As the concrete mixture dies, the water evaporates and leaves behind the hardened cement and aggregate.
Bags or pound test are just different terms used to market a product and to get your business; in the end it's just concrete. I would suggest you consider at least a 4,000 psi or a six-bag mixture for a residential driveway to be poured in a cooler climate region of the country.
The mixture should also contain fiberglass fibers to strengthen the concrete, use wire mesh or steel reinforcing bars set midway between the bottom and top of the 4-inch-thick slab, or both.
The other important questions you need answered are: How will the areas under and around the driveway drain off rain or storm water? What finish will be applied to the driveway to make it a safe, nonskid surface? If the driveway is on a steep slope, what will be incorporated to prevent the concrete from creeping down the slope? Do you require a coloring agent or an exposed aggregate? What type and how many expansion joints will be used to prevent cracking?
Concrete can be stamped to take on the form of bricks or cobblestone. Do you want a pattern for the finished concrete?
Ask for references and take a good look at the contractor's finished products. Ask previous customers if they are satisfied with the work, and check your local Better Business Bureau for updates on the contractors you choose.

Weitz & Luxenberg is no longer accepting Seroquel Cases.
Seroquel class action lawsuits are now forming so that patients who suffered side effects such as diabetes or pancreatitis are getting compensation for their injuries.
Weitz & Luxenberg handles Seroquel individual suits, and mass torts, rather than class action lawsuits.
A mass tort combines many legal cases into a single trial, unlike a class action each plaintiff is treated as an individual with their own individual lawsuit.
The difference between a mass tort and an individual case is that in a mass tort lawsuit many similar cases are argued together saving time and money that can be better spent preparing to make the best legal case for you.
This means, bringing a suit against Seroquels' AstraZeneca, your individual needs will be more closely catered to rather than a class action suit which caters to the needs of many.
Weitz & Luxenberg has taken the lead in the MDL steering committee for Zyprexa, another antipsychotic drug, where they have secured a $700 million dollar settlement. Weitz & Luxenberg represents hundreds of clients in this litigation. Contact Weitz & Luxenberg today regarding your legal Seroquel concern today by filling out the simple form below.

By: Laura Lee
(ABC 6 News) -- The Austin Police Department lost one of their own last fall. Ghost was a national award winning police dog and for Lt. Matt Holten, the death of his partner meant starting over.
If you know Lt. Matt Holten with the Austin Police Department, you probably know of his partner, Sonic.
This one and half year old Belgian Malinois is the newest edition of the Austin PD.
"He's very early in his training," chuckles Holten.
After just five months, Holten and his new partner are inseparable.
"My wife hates it when I tell everyone this, but I spend more time with Sonic than I do my wife," he says, "my canine partner is with me all day, he goes to work with me, he sleeps with me, we train in the afternoon and play in the afternoon."
Sonic loves to play with his ball and even has a few tricks. But this four-legged officer has got some pretty big paws to fill.
Holten's last partner of more than six years --- Ghost --- was a state and national champion police dog assisting with more than 50 arrests in his time with the department.
However, Ghost was taking medication for his seizures and over time, his condition worsened. On September 4, 2012 he was retired from the force.
"I knew then we were going to have to put him to sleep," says Holten, "it's sad for anyone who's had to put a down, stand by while they gave him a shot, it was difficult."
For Holten, Ghost was more than a partner, he was a friend.
"It took me almost nine months to earn Ghost's trust and respect, he was a pretty strong willed dog and it didn't come overnight."
"I think that's why we ended up being so close, I had to work really hard to gain his trust and when you have to work for something that hard it becomes more valuable," says Holten.
Ghost was the reigning national champion police dog when he died.
Holten says not a day goes by that he doesn't think about his former partner, "I miss him," says Holten.
After the death of Ghost, he had to scurry to find a new partner.
On Halloween, he found one.
"Sonic was the last of his litter," he was in a kennel in Kentucky, and his playful nature is what drew Lt. Holten to him.
"A friend of mine knew I needed a dog to replace ghost, he called me, I liked what I saw and now I have a new partner."
Sonic is now Holten's fifth police dog and he's got a lot of work ahead of him.
"When I first met Sonic, he didn't even know how to follow basic commands or have a collar, it's going to be a little while before he gets to that level," says Holten, referring to a champion dog.
To get to that level includes thousands of hours of training and good help.
"Go get him," says Holten, commanding Sonic to chase after a fellow officer.
"I'm basically a big chew toy," says Officer Ryan Leif with the Austin Police Department.
Leif has been working with Holten for over a decade and says he builds a bond with these dogs too.
"Taking bites for almost 14 years now, the dogs trust me just like the handlers, I don't train them, but I help with training," he says.
Just like Ghost, Sonic has his own destiny to fulfill.
"He's got a bright future, I wouldn't have brought him back to Austin, if I didn't think he has potential," says Holten, "the more we work together, the more trust we'll gain with one another, it's a pretty tight bond that forms there.
And just like any partner, you never leave one behind.
"I've got five or six more years left, my grand plan is for us to retire together."
They are currently training for Sonic's regional certification on June 30th in Mankato.

The concept of empowering women through magic in film reaches far beyond that of the horror, fantasy and modern film and into the world of the fantastic, that is, the world of Disney. The witches of Disney do not contain prototypical behaviors, but instead are defined as either "good" or "bad" witches with fine lines in between.
Disney's Animated Witches
The Little Mermaid
To begin the discussion will focus on the more infamous, and common depiction of witches in Disney. That is the "evil" or "bad "witch. In 'The Little Mermaid' we meet Ursula, the sea witch. An obese being that contains the lower body of an octopus, purple skin, and constantly sports a sinister grin. In Charlotte Hornby's discussion on women in Disney she says that Ursula acts in "'The Little Mermaid' as a symbol of the ideal woman and to teach Ariel the importance of gendered behavior to trap the opposite sex."Along with Ursula's demonic like appearance, her behavior seems to be portrayed as negative due to her "trapping" the opposite sex. Furthermore, she later makes a deal with Ariel, and later uses this deal to obtain power over the entire sea. Later, she is defeated by a human heroic male figure despite her incredible power and enormous size. Therefore it can be said here that the title of "witch," brings certain connotations of negativity.
Sleeping Beauty
In Disney's 1959 animated feature Sleeping Beauty, the central villain is known as Maleficent. She is the most powerful woman in the film but remains evil. She casts a spell which will kill the princess, Aurora, before her sixteenth birthday. While the 'good' fairies try to reverse her spell, they are not strong enough and can only alter the effects of Maleficent's spell by putting Aurora to sleep. The only way to overcome Maleficent's spell is if Aurora's true love (a male prince) kisses her. Therefore, the only way to overcome the incredible power of Maleficent is through a male figure. Furthermore, a reoccurring theme occurs that when women are granted great power in Disney films they are depicted as evil, where the only way to overcome this evil is through a male. And despite the great powers of the witch figure in Disney films it seems as if a masculine male figure is often the only way to overcome these female terrors. In the climax of the film Maleficent tells the prince that he will need to overcome "all the powers of hell," to defeat her, and morphs into a dragon, yet is overcome eventually by the prince. The power difference between the two is quite significant, but of course the viewer is not shocked when the male overcomes her, as this is visited time and time again in Disney. In her discussion of witches in Disney Films Best says that "The horns are suggestive that Maleficent is a symbolic figure of Satan, which in turn advocates the implication that the witch automatically equals Satan." If Maleficent is said to be Satan, then her character can be seen as anti-Christian.
Disney's Live Action Witches
Hocus Pocus
Hocus Pocus currently remains to be Disney's most centrally focused witch film to date. The film focuses on the Sanderson sisters, whose power is made known quickly within the film, as they steal the souls of children to make themselves younger. They exercise witchcraft by killing children in order to alter themselves younger in appearance and body. Their power is used for superficial means, making the witches come across as quite shallow and self centered.
Despite being full grown powerful witches they are overpowered and outmatched frequently by an unintelligent, fragile male, rendering them as an inferior gender, despite the male hero being quite thick. For example, Max tricks the witches into thinking they are being covered in acid rain when he turns on the sprinklers, and again when he manages to trap them in a furnace at a high school, burning the sisters to death. When women are empowered as witches in film they are commonly portrayed as evil, and in the case of Disney are always overcome by a male.
Religious aspects:
Within the film the witches uses several spells which are all negative in practice. Some of these spells involve bringing back the dead, trapping the soul of a boy into a cat's body and luring children to their home in order to steal all their souls.
Also, the witch's existence seems to focus and surround on a book filled with evil spells. One may see this as an anti-bible as it represented as a type of bible from the witches. The book listens to their commands and has a life of its own (it has an eye as well).
Lastly, in the film on Halloween the witch sisters see a child dressed as angel who blesses them, they scream in oppositional horror as if they were cursed. Furthermore, the witches see a man dressed as Satan and rush to meet him. They call him master and tell him that they are "at his service." Obviously, the link between the witches and their anti-Christian values are quite evident. They continue to call the man master (who they believe is really Satan) and go as far as to bow to him. One witch brings asks "Satan" "what about the book?" allowing the viewer to believe again that the book they seek to possess in a satanic text or bible for performing evil.
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Despite The Chronicles Of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe being written by C.S Lewis I will here classify it as a Disney film, as they are the company responsible for making the film.
The White Witch, (named due to her association with winter, oppositional to the traditional notions of white: purity and positive) the leader of the dark forces in Narnia is depicted as a ruthless human being who only uses her power to commit horrible atrocities including stabbing beings causing them to turn to stone, and therefore waging a war on the "good" side of Narnia. Furthermore, she uses her power as the all powerful female witch to bring winter to Narnia (typically season associated with death and darkness more so than any other). In the film she is also responsible for the sacrificial killing of Aslan, the central powerful masculine character in the film. This to the viewers is depicted as the greatest evil one could commit in a Roman Catholic spectrum, as Aslan as seen as the direct representation of Jesus Christ. To kill Christ would be to exist as the anti-Christ.
"...the cold hearted White Witch...She is a pristine picture of evil," (Wikipedia).

Bill Calderwood has been one of the most outspoken, public voices in the neighborhood calling for change. He regularly calls the police to report stolen cars, vandalism, theft, drug activity, etc. in the neighborhood. He is always walking his dogs and patrolling the streets in a neighborhood that could use more police presence. He finds stolen cars for residents, helps out people all of the time. That being said, he's also a bit of a curmudgeon who likes to compare Cleveland to Detroit (where he is from) and is constantly complaining about the problems in the neighborhood - especially the lack of police. I am shocked that he is accused of this crime. What a shame to have such an advocate for change in a changing neighborhood be accused of such an awful crime.
Thanks for the clarification, Tony Brown. Please keep investigating and reporting on what you find as the story unfolds. I am not only curious about the specifics of their closing, but think that there are lessons to be learned for everyone involved in the non-profit from what went down. Like being cautious when someone builds you a building if you've never had to deal with the associated costs and facilities management before!
I think it's quite sad that downtown's only small, independent theatre company is going away. And I hope that another arts organization is given a chance to use the building rent-free to continue to add an arts and cultural presence to the vibrant E. 4th area.
I agree with you, Tony, that truth21hurts may be spreading more rumours and sounding off about unsubstantiated events/facts. However, please do your job (or pass it off to someone in the Metro Dept.) and INVESTIGATE this story! How did they use all of their money when it is common knowledge that they did not pay their actors or directors? Their Cleveland space was rent free, their tech equipment was sub-par, they rarely paid for the rights to productions. Where did all of their money go?
Please check into this - it makes all the other responsible small arts organizations/theatre's (like Dobama, Convergence, CPT, Spaces, MOCA, etc.) open to scrutiny from the public, who sees one theatre go down due to irresponsible leadership, and assumes all the others are one step away from the same fate.

Josh Koscheck calls for fight with Rory MacDonald
Josh Koscheck calls for fight with Rory MacDonald - Five Ounces of Pain : Five Ounces of PainThough MacDonald has called for a rematch with Carlos Condit, the only opponent to have beaten him, another name has emerged as a possible opponent for the soft-spoken, vicious 23-year old in the form of Josh Koscheck. The former title-contender took to Twitter shortly after MacDonalds win over Penn, throwing his name into the mix by challenging the young Canadian.
Maybe Rory should fight me??? I doubt the UFC would want to see him get his ass kicked, wrote Koscheck on Twitter.

Not a lot to post about Sunday morning. I had to get up and gone for sure. Trent had already left to get home a day earlier to take care of some stuff. I think he has a roadside repair and law enforcement encounter stories to tell though.
Dean had rolled in from South Dakota late Saturday night and I talked with him ever so briefly. I figured I would get some pics of his crazy machine that he rode in on.

With 1.3 billion potential customers, appealing to the Chinese consumer is a major theme in investing in the nation. As the country prospers, the newly emerging and growing middle class will hopefully adopt a consumer culture that is similar to those of other modern nations. This shift is becoming a major force in the Asian country. Since 1970, nearly 400 million Chinese citizens have moved above the poverty line. The C.I.A. estimates that in 2008 alone, approximately 200 million rural laborers and their dependents relocated to urban areas to find work.
An attractive way for investors to play on the birth of the burgeoning Chinese middle class is to take a look at the purveyors of entry-level luxury goods. While here in the United States we have cut back on high-priced lattes and designer shoes, demand for these items has grown overseas. Today, the Chinese middle class stands at an estimated 100 million to 150 million citizens, and there is still room for expansion.

It's All about Sunglasses and Purses
While you may not recognize the name, you are probably familiar with Luxottica's (NYSE:LUX) products. As the largest retailer and manufacturer of sunglasses and glasses, the company operates under several major brands, including its wholly owned Ray Ban brand, or licensed brands such as Versace, Chanel and Polo Ralph Lauren (NYSE:RL). Luxottica sells its eyewear through its retail outlets including Lens Crafters and The Sunglass Hut. The key to Luxottica's Asian plan lies in the acquisition of three major players in the Chinese market: Modern Sight Optics with its 28 stores in Shanghai, Minglong and its113 stores in Guangdong and Xueliang's 79 stores in Beijing. This brings Luxottica's total Chinese penetration to 270 stores. In addition, the company plans to expand its LensCrafters brand into the country, operating 90 stores. The company continues to mint cash, pulling in 80 million euros for the first quarter of 2009.
Coach Inc. (NYSE:COH) is hoping that the very successful strategy it implemented in Japan to grow its market share from less than 2% in 2000 to nearly 12% in 2008, works in China. Currently, the handbag market in China is only a $1.2 billion industry, similar to where Japan was in 2000. And like in 2000 Japan, Coach operates at just a small fraction of that; around 3%. The luxury maker of purses and other leather goods hopes to achieve a target of $250 million in retail sales and 10% market share over the next five years. Coach now operates 26 locations in the nation. This includes eight locations in Hong Kong, two in casino-rich Macau, four in Shanghai and four in Beijing. To continue with its market share goals, Coach is planning on opening about 50 additional locations in China during the next five years.
Bottom Line
In the United States, luxury and consumer discretionary companies are having a rough time during the global crisis. But in China, where the middle class is just getting started, demand for luxury goods is growing. Both Luxottica and Coach offer investors a way to play that budding market.

Pacific Lutheran Defeats Willamette 3-2 in Two Overtimes
Wilson and Simpson Score Goals for the Bearcats
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University achieved a huge advantage in total shots, but Pacific Lutheran University rallied from a 2-1 deficit to defeat the Bearcats 3-2 in two overtimes on Sunday, Oct. 7. Blake Warner scored both the tying goal and the winning goal for the Lutes.
Pacific Lutheran improved to 4-1-5 overall, 2-1-5 in the Northwest Conference. Willamette fell to 4-7-1 overall, 2-5-1 in the NWC.
Warner scored the tying goal at 57:40 directly off a corner kick. She sent the corner kick low and near the goal line. The ball somehow found its way into the net at the near post.
She added the winning goal for PLU on a shot from 23 yards out on the left side that was partially saved by Willamette goalkeeper Nicole Price (Jr., Auburn, WA/Thomas Jefferson HS). The ball trickled into the net with 2:54 left in the second overtime.
Also scoring for the Lutes was Lauren Larson just 6:01 into the game on a break-away. She was assisted on the play by a through pass from Brenna Sussman. It was Larson's seventh goal of the season.
Willamette's goals were achieved by Ariel Wilson (Sr., MF, Fort Collins, CO/Poudre HS) at 20:10 and by Malia Simpson (So., MF, Fairbanks, AK/West Valley HS) about four minutes later at 24:12. It was the first goal of 2012 for both players.
Wilson's goal was assisted by Ashland Bernard (So., F, Kirkland, WA/Juanita HS) with a cross from the left side that eluded PLU goalkeeper Marisa Gonzalez and allowed Wilson to tap the ball in from two yards out near the right post. Simpson scored an unassisted goal when she put in a shot from 8 yards out during a scramble in front of the goal.
Simpson's shot was the third in rapid succession, as Bernard and Paige Lancourt (Jr., MF, Eagle, ID/Eagle HS) each shot only a few seconds earlier. Both of their shots were blocked.
The Bearcats outshot the Lutes 25-12 in total shots and 10-7 in shots on goal, but Gonzalez earned 8 saves and Willamette barely missed on several shots. Price recorded four saves for Willamette.
WU will host Lewis & Clark College on Wednesday, Oct. 10. Game time at Sparks Field is set for 7 p.m. (PDT). Willamette won at L&C earlier this season, 4-3 in one overtime.

So Cute! What a fun blog you have over here! Thank you for the visit to mine the other day. You asked me about rolling/folding my linens..I fold them in half and roll them like you would a beach towel in the summer time. I like to fold everything thing because I think it looks prettier and easy to store in big baskets and on my shelves. I lived in Sweden for a summer and the family I stayed with rolled up every thing claiming you have less wrinkles and more room for storage. So I Have done it ever since. Even all my towels are all rolled up as well. Blessings on ya! =O)

Uncle Hegel,
As usual, you're missing the point.
it wasn't a "routine photo op". It was a religious event at which Bill Clinton made a major announcement of contrition over his affair with Monica Lewinsky.
If you're going to sit there and attempt to smear Obama by association with Wright, you're probably going to have to explain why the Clintons knew Wright well enough to invite him to the White House for an announcement of this nature, 10 years ago, and knew him well enough to sit him next to Hillary at said event.
Even after his anti-American and anti-white sermons became widely known, according to you. After all, he'd been at it for 20 years, according to you (which, of course, you offer no proof of).
Just to break it down to terms even your mail order bride can understand:
Wright gives "widely anti-American sermons for 20 years" = 1988
Wright invited to Clinton White House to sit next to Hillary at major speech = 1998
Setting aside the fact that 1) Wright was quoting a White former Reagan appointee, 2) didn't actually make those types of speeches for 20 years in his church, since you can't seem to cite more than one example of that speech, 3) Obama made his position clear on it on Tuesday, and 4) Obama was at a fund raiser in Florida on 7/22/2007 when the speech in question was made, even if the blatant fallacies and guilt by association you're attempting to make had any validity, your case falls apart once the association with the Clintons is exposed. And it has been exposed. They knew him well enough to seat him next to the first lady at a state luncheon. Oops.
Now, once you're done with that, how about you figure out a way to double talk your way out of the NAFTA and Bosnia lies she's spent the last month telling, and let us know when she's willing to release her earmarks and tax returns, something Obama's done months ago.
Also, since her campaign is once again broke, you might want to collect and redeem some recyclables to send her some money. Life support from suckers like you is all she has at the moment.
But speaking of Reverend Wright,
Why is it that when Bill Clinton needed a religious prop to show contrition for Monica, Rev. Wright was good enough to fill the bill:
And sit next to Hillary at the event:
But all of the sudden, because he doesn't support the Clintons, he's a racist America hater?
A person of mixed race actively promoting race baiting campaigning.
You're a sad, sad person Uncle Hegel.
Yes. A well done set of snapshots. The PD should do more like this.
Hmmm.... an awfully quite thread.
In any event, goodnight, and good luck...
Modified slightly to note that was the second breach.
And while I'm thinking of it, here's another "coincidence"...
February 21st. First breach of Obama's passport information.
February 25th. Picture of Obama's Kenya visit mysteriously shows up in Matt Drudge's inbox.
Funny how those things work themselves out.
why has no one called for even an explanation from Condoleeza Rice?
Because she didn't know until the third breach yesterday.
Because she wasn't told about the first two, which were addressed by Maura Harty, who fired the first two people.
Maura Harty was an ambassador to Paraguay under Bill Clinton, who later unretired to take her job at the State Department. She never reported it up.
It wasn't until after the third breach that Rice was notified.
Maybe but a quote like this from Hillary is enough to make one wonder:
"As voters evaluate you as a potential Commander-in-Chief, do you think it's legitimate for people to be concerned that you have traveled to only one NATO country, on a brief stopover trip in 2005, and have never traveled to Latin America?"
If his travel records aren't public, how does her campaign know?
Wait, you mean the Clinton campaign lied?
She actually promoted NAFTA?
And only had issues with it because it would interfere with her own interest in passing her health care plan, as Robert Reich stated in his blog:
The answer is HRC didn't want the Administration to move forward with NAFTA, but not because she was opposed to NAFTA as a policy. She opposed NAFTA because of its timing. She wanted her health-care plan to be voted on first. She feared that the fight over NAFTA would use up so much of the White House's political capital that there wouldn't be enough left when it came to pushing for health care.
Gosh Uncle Hegel, I thought she was a paragon of virtue, fighting for the union man and woman against the scourge of a trade agreement that's decimated the area economy. Turns out she opposed it because, and only because, it stood in the way of her policy agenda.
And while were here, where's the mention of her trying to buy a state election in Michigan which, she made clear after New Hampshire to NPR that 'the votes don't matter, because they won't count?"
Being a governor isn't rocket science. Fix the schools. Fix the roads. Stimulate the economy across the state. Balance the budget. Keep the infrastructure manageable and affordable.
If you can't do those three things, you shouldn't take time off from your job to work on campaigns for candidates who supported killing the northern tier of your states' livelihood in the name of "free trade".
Uncle Hegel,
I'm sure it's tough being a traitor to your race.
At least Ken Blackwell was well paid for it.
You, not so much. I'm guessing.
It's going to suck being you when she loses the nomination.
But, just in case anyone with an IQ over 70 happens across this thread, let's try this again.
You've exhausted approximately half of the remaining up for grab delegates, and by the time all is said in done with the Texas Caucuses, your candidate, the one who cannot catch Obama, will have netted 7-10, delegates tops.
She has shot in a maximum of three races from here on out: Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Puerto Rico. None of the races are winner take all.
Whatever she gained last night by winning the backwaters of Ohio and playing Toledo to a draw, will be wiped out by this Saturday.
You've won a pyrrhic victory. You either don't care to acknowledge it, or are too stupid to figure it out. I'm going to go with the latter.
A Pyrrhic victory (IPA: /ˈpɪrɪk/) is a victory with devastating cost to the victor.
So, if you're scoring at home, or on the road, you've exhausted 500+ delegates, over half of what is left, to gain a net of seven.
You're screwed. Get it through your head. You cannot catch Obama. Period. And even if you come out of tonight with a net of seven delegate votes, Wyoming and Mississippi will erase whatever gains you've made.
So, if you're a Hillary supporter, what you're hoping for is to drive a wedge in the party, alienating crossover independent males, the youth vote, and the African American vote, all so you can subvert the party process, and the popular vote, all in a vain attempt to nominate a candidate who is unelectable in a national election. when you walk into the convention in Denver down by 200 or so pledged delegates.s
Someday, Hegel, this will set in and I hope you'll be kind enough to remove your Klan hood before beating your mail order bride when it does. Wouldn't want to get it bloody after all, would we Uncle Tom?
And of course, my favorite Exit Poll answer from MSNBC:
20% of voters factored race into their choice of Presidental Candidate:
80% of those voted for Hillary
20% of those voted for Obama
Stay classy, Ohio.
Um, so a blogger makes a suggestion, and all of the sudden it's news that's fit to print?
Seriously. Is this the best the PD can do? Anxious to get out the door early on a Friday, so you throw the right wing nut job chimps that hang out here a bone hoping they won't notice you all left at 2:30?
That must be the funniest thing I've read on this site all morning.
Obama is in bed with Rove. Setup to take the Dem nomination and then purposely take the fall for an unknown Republican ticket.
The media is biased against Clinton. Newsflash. If any candidate not named Clinton had lost 11 elections in a row, there would be no media coverage of that candidate, and they would have been badgered to get the hell out. She's more than overstayed her welcome post SuperTuesday, courtesy of the media.
Rezko has ties to the governor of Illinois that were made public yesterday. If there was a story, the Sun Times, who believe me has tried repeatedly to link the two, would have been able to do so.
Some people run for President, because they actually want to be President. Shocking I know, and something apparently you aren't able to process.
This is the one thing you've posted that's actually true. And, not surprisingly, it's the only non original, conspiracy laced thought you've managed to scrounge up. But it has nothing to do with gender, and everything to do with her last name, which, rightly or wrongly, is mudd to the majority of non-Democrats, thanks to her failures in healtcare, her husband's infidelities, and the right wing nut job talk radio echo chamber.
Quoting Glenn Beck in an attempt to make a point actually makes you look dumber than Beck, which is pretty hard to do.
And spare us the bigotry. You and Kegel are late for the Klan Senior breakfast seminar at Denny's, where I hear Bill Cunningham will be the featured speaker.
Or perhaps, test1234 some kids just wallow with you over in the shallow end of the gene pool dragging the rest of the educational system down with them.
Great. Now we can get on with tearing down this eyesore and building a suitable replacement. One more step in ridding the earth of an era of architectural mistakes polluting our eyes thanks to the geniuses who thought brutalism was feasible.
The reason people are riding your a** is because you're driving too slow.
My response to everyone that complains about tailgaters is the same.
Get the ***k over into the slower traffic lanes where you belong.
It's time for a third party; I'm heading for the Constitution Pary headquarters.
Bring an extra coat. Bus shelters downtown aren't heated.
The satire is used to illuminate in a comical way that which is not apparently understood by those charmed with the hollow Message of Hussein.
It's only satire if it has a basis in fact, and is actually funny. You're neither. Congratulations on being able to Google Socialism, though. That required spelling it close to right-no small feat on your part.
And just as a follow up, I'll cite this line from the article:
The plan, which doesn't touch property or personal education tax, calls for replacing income and business taxes with an 8.58 percent sales tax -- 2 percent higher than the state's current sales tax rate.

Blues guitarist Magic Slim dies in Pa. at age 75
By Mark Scolforo, Associated Press : February 21, 2013
Photo By Associated Press file photoMagic Slim performs with his band at a blues festival in Portland, Ore., in 2009. The Mississippi native died early Thursday in Philadelphia.
Magic Slim, a younger contemporary of blues greats Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf who helped shape the sound of Chicago's electric blues, died early Thursday. He was 75.
He died shortly after midnight Wednesday at a Philadelphia hospital, said his manager, Marty Salzman.
The musician had health problems that worsened while he was on tour several weeks ago in Pennsylvania, Salzman said.
Magic Slim and his backing band, the Teardrops, performed a no-holds-barred brand of Chicago-style electric blues, led by his singing and guitar playing, and were regulars on the music festival circuit.
Slim's given name was Morris Holt.
The Mississippi native established himself in Chicago's thriving blues community in the 1960s, but more recently lived in Lincoln, Neb.
Holt's story was one of persistence. Like many bluesmen from rural Mississippi, he left a life that revolved around cotton fields and moved to Chicago in 1955.
But competition on the South Side was fierce in those days, and he moved back home after failing to establish himself.
Playing plantation parties and small gigs, he honed his skills to a fine edge and enlisted his brothers, Nick and Douglas, as his backing band.
They returned to Chicago, where they formed the Teardrops and refused to be dismissed.
Younger than many of the renowned bluesmen in Chicago, he maintained a career well into the 21st century.
Holt and the Teardrops won blues band of the year at the 2003 Blues Music Awards, and he released a record of covers last year.
"No frills, no rock 'n' roll. It was just straight-ahead, real-deal blues."
Holt came by the sound authentically.
Born in Torrance, Miss., in 1937, he grew up in the cotton fields of the Mississippi Delta.
His first love was piano, but he lost the little finger on his right hand to a cotton gin and switched to guitar.
Like many of his contemporaries, he started out on a one-string instrument he made by nailing a piece of wire stolen from a broom to the wall.
He moved to Grenada at age 11 and met Magic Sam, an older guitarist and influential blues figure.
He didn't make his first recordings until 1966.
He released his first album, "Born Under A Bad Sign," on a French label in 1977 and put out an album of covers, "Bad Boy," last year.
Salzman said that bleeding ulcers sent Holt to the hospital.

Company, loved ones mourn victim of workplace casualty
When Martin Davis was killed on the job Monday at Lee Iron and Metal, his death shocked many people — including his brother-in-law, Scot Carpenter.
"It's an unfortunate accident that never should have happened," Carpenter, the company's president and general manager, said Tuesday. The family-run company also issued a statement and asked to otherwise be allowed to grieve privately.
"Our deepest heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family, friends and co-workers of Martin Davis," the firm said in the statement. "There is a void in our life that will remain forever."
Davis, 50, reportedly was killed when he stepped off of a forklift and was a large bale of copper wiring fell on him. He was the company's post consumer operations manager and was married to Sharon Cohen Davis, whose father is L.I. "Poly" Cohen, a Sanford city councilman and former CEO of Lee Iron and Metal.
Davis's funeral will be at 4 p.m. Thursday at Rogers-Pickard Funeral Home, and the family will receive friends of Davis, who was active with Temple Theatre and the San-Lee Rotary Club, following the service.
As is the case in all workplace deaths, the N.C. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health division is investigating.
Dolores Quesenberry, who is with the labor department, said investigations into workplace fatalities generally take three to four months, and that investigators have already visited the metal recycling company located at 2219 S. Horner Blvd.
"At this stage of the investigation, they're trying to gather any evidence, including photographs, and they'll interview employees and witnesses," Quesenberry said, adding that the contibuting factors to the accident are not yet clear.
Lee Iron and Metal has been inspected by the state three times in the last five years, not counting the current investigation, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, including planned visits in 2009 and 2011 and an unplanned inspection in 2010 triggered by an employee complaint. According to the department of Labor, that 2010 inspection found one non-serious safety violation that didn't result in any fines.
The 2011 inspection found nine violations and the company was fined $5,875, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. There had been no further inspections, either planned or triggered by complaints, until now.
"We have an excellent safety record," Carpenter said. "We have an excellent safety director and excellent safety programs."
Between January and June, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, 24 workers in North Carolina died from injuries sustained while at work. In 2012, 35 North Carolina workers were killed on the job.

The inspection was carried out by two Additional Inspectors.
Description of the school
This is a smaller than average school. The majority of its pupils live locally in an area that varies in its levels of social and economic challenge. Almost all pupils are of White British heritage and none of the few pupils from minority ethnic backgrounds require additional support with speaking or understanding English. The school's Early Year's and Foundation Stage (EYFS) comprises nursery and Reception classes. The number of pupils eligible for free school meals is above average. The percentage having learning difficulties and/or disabilities is high. The school has recently established a resource base for pupils with autistic spectrum disorder. The school has attained a range of external awards including the Basic Skills Award, Investors in People, National Healthy Schools Award, Activemark, St. Helen's Quality Mark for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and has met the Financial Management Standard in Schools.
There is a breakfast and after school club on the school site and this was inspected separately.

Overall effectiveness of the school
Grade: 2
This is a good school where every adult works tirelessly to ensure that pupils achieve their very best. It successfully fulfils its mission of 'inspiring, educating, developing'. The school knows well its strengths and areas for development and, as a result, successfully helps pupils to develop good personal skills and make good progress throughout the school.
Throughout the school, while standards have fluctuated in both key stages, school tracking information and inspection evidence shows that pupils make good progress and achieve well. Children enter the EYFS with skills and knowledge that are well below those typical for their age. Good teaching in a well planned, stimulating, child-centred setting gets progress off to a good start. Children enter Year 1 having gained many skills, although they still have some ground to make up in their learning. Good quality teaching and learning, backed by well focused action by the school's leadership, ensure that pupils continue to make good progress in Key Stages 1 and 2. Focused support for pupils who find school challenging is having a positive impact on their learning. Standards in Key Stage 1 steadily increased for three years to broadly average in 2007 although they fell back in 2008. The provisional test results in 2008 for Key Stage 2 indicate a substantial rise in standards, particularly in English and mathematics. Science results dipped from the previous year because pupils do not have enough opportunities to develop or apply their scientific knowledge through practical tasks.
Relationships within the school are strong and most pupils' behaviour is commendable. The small minority of pupils who struggle with their behaviour are supported effectively through the well established support systems. Pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, including those with autistic spectrum disorders, are welcomed with open arms into this inclusive school and they make good progress alongside their peers. Attendance is satisfactory and the number of pupils who are persistently absent is very low. Pupils enjoy school and feel safe. They say that adults will always listen to their concerns whether social, emotional or academic. They have a very clear understanding of what bullying means and are confident that any form of abuse is dealt with swiftly. Pupils develop mature attitudes to diet, exercise and the issues surrounding substance abuse. By the time they leave the school they are self-assured young people, confident about moving on to the next stage of their education.
Teachers plan lessons very well and generally provide pupils work that meets their needs and challenges their thinking skills. All pupils have a keen understanding of their targets, and teachers' marking helps pupils to know how well they are doing and how to improve their work. There are some strong elements developing in the curriculum, such as the topics and themed weeks, for example the successful Home Front Week that embraced the local community, which make links between subjects that extend pupils' skills, knowledge and understanding. However, in classes where pupils can spend two years, the curriculum organisation means that older pupils sometimes repeat the same learning in the core subjects, which limits their progress. Also, whilst there is an appropriate emphasis on literacy and numeracy, there are, at present, limited opportunities for pupils to apply or extend their writing skills across different subjects. The curriculum overall is satisfactory.
The continual drive for school improvement is always on the headteacher's agenda and, with the able support of the deputy headteacher, a cohesive staff team and perceptive governance, the school is successfully moving forward. All members of the school community have taken an active role in the appraisal of its strengths and areas for development, resulting in a comprehensive plan for future action. This, coupled with a clear focus on raising standards and the improvements made in pupils' progress, demonstrates that the school has a good capacity to improve.
Effectiveness of the Early Years Foundation Stage
Grade: 2
When they first join the EYFS, the majority of children have skills well below those expected, especially in language and communication, and their social interaction. The family-friendly induction procedures and wealth of enticing activities ensure that, from the first moment, children feel happy and secure. Staff have a keen understanding of early years' education and the setting fully reflects the ethos of child-centred learning and development. The manager is not afraid to 'think outside the box' and take risks to provide exciting and engaging experiences, indoors and outdoors that motivate all the children, including the most reluctant learners. As a result, the children have fun and do well in their learning. Planning, though not yet reflecting the recently introduced long-term requirements, is focused on children's different needs and interests. Assessment of children's progress is firmly rooted in observations, and this valuable information guides the next steps for the provision. When the children leave the EYFS at the end of Reception, they have made good progress even though their skills are mostly below those expected for their age. The manager organises transition very well, ensuring a seamless move into Year 1. The setting meets the new legal welfare requirements for the EYFS. Comments such as 'My child has made huge strides in his progress,' and, 'Teaching is excellent and the care the children receive is reassuring for parents,' typify the parents' appreciation of the setting.
What the school should do to improve further
- Provide more hands-on experiments in science that allow pupils to apply their skills in investigating and recording, and raise standards.
- Revise the curriculum for the core subjects in mixed-age classes so that objectives and learning activities are not repeated each year.
- Provide more opportunities for developing and applying pupils' writing skills across the curriculum.
Achievement and standards
Grade: 2
Pupils enter Year 1 with skills below expectations and make good progress throughout the school. Test results at the end of Year 2 rose steadily between 2004 and 2007 to broadly in line with the national average. They fell back slightly in 2008 because of the lower starting points of a high proportion of pupils in the cohort. Assessment and tracking data show that the school's swift response to the 2008 results, including focused intervention for current Year 2 pupils and additional support for those now in Year 3, is having a positive effect. Pupils are making good progress and working at levels closer to the national average.
Standards at the end of Key Stage 2 have varied from year to year. Provisional test outcomes for 2008 and school data show significant improvements over 2007. In 2008, in English and mathematics, overall levels of attainment were broadly in line with expectations for pupils' age but in science were below largely due to pupils' lack of practical experiences. The number of pupils attaining higher levels in mathematics exceeded both the school's and national expectations, representing significant progress for these pupils. A culture of focused target setting and teaching, alongside additional support and intervention, has resulted in accelerated progress for pupils. Current pupils across Key Stage 2, including those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, are making good progress.
Personal development and well-being
Grade: 2
Pupils really enjoy school and are very proud of their achievements. Their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. Attendance is generally in line with national averages but is lower this term due to illness. Most pupils behave well in and around school. The small minority of pupils who require behaviour support respond well to the school's consistently applied approach. Pupils clearly understand the benefits of adopting a healthy lifestyle. The 'wake-up, shake-up' sessions are proving popular and help prepare pupils for the day ahead. Pupils have a good awareness of safe practices and the dangers of substance abuse. Even the very youngest pupils say they feel safe in school and appreciate events such as Anti-Bullying Week. They can name an adult to whom they would turn if they felt uneasy and have a mature understanding of what exactly bullying is. They are aware of cyber-bullying and the dangers associated with the Internet. The school council organises fundraising events for charities at home and abroad. Its members are especially proud of the herd of goats they bought for a village in Bangladesh. The School prepares pupils for their future economic well-being through good teaching of the basic skills. However, there are insufficient opportunities for links with business and industry through which pupils could learn more about skills in the workplace.
Quality of provision
Teaching and learning
Grade: 2
Secure relationships generate positive attitudes to learning across the school. Teachers plan lessons well, with a clear focus on what pupils need to learn. The best teaching is characterised by good classroom organization, effective management of pupils' behaviour, secure knowledge of what pupils can do and what they need to do next, well-paced teaching and stimulating and interesting activities. These are all carefully matched to most pupils' needs and teachers use focused questioning well to probe and extend pupils' understanding. Teachers work hard to engage and sustain pupils' interest. Pupils are keen to learn and are excited by activities that provide hands-on, practical experiences. In science, however, teachers often play safe and use worksheets that restrict opportunities for writing across the curriculum and limit pupils' experiences of active investigation. Teachers focus their planning and assessment on setting progressive targets that all pupils, even the very youngest, are able to identify. Marking is mostly helpful and supportive, clearly pointing out what has been done well and what needs to be done better. The valuable work of the teaching assistants is greatly appreciated by teachers and pupils, especially those pupils who find learning difficult. This extra help ensures that pupils make the most of their lessons and progress equally well.
Curriculum and other activities
Grade: 3
The curriculum is successful in meeting the needs of most pupils and very successful in promoting their personal development. The school places an appropriate emphasis on developing pupils' basic skills in literacy, numeracy, and information and communication technology. However, curriculum organisation in the mixed-age classes sometimes leads to pupils repeating work that they have done before. Pupils in Key Stage 2 learn French and have the opportunity to play a musical instrument, adding effectively to their cultural development and to the international dimension of their learning. Within this enriched curriculum, however, there are currently limited opportunities for pupils to extend their writing across other subjects or to carry out and independently record hands-on investigative experiments in science. Pupils clearly enjoy the developing creative curriculum and speak enthusiastically about learning through themed weeks that make learning real and fire their imaginations. Personal, social and emotional development is a strength of the curriculum and particularly supports the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those with learning difficulties and/or disabilities, including autistic spectrum disorder. The good range of extra-curricular activities that extends pupils' interests and talents has been rewarded through the many external awards received by the school.
Care, guidance and support
Grade: 2
Inclusion is at the forefront of the school's mission and a strength of its provision. All adults know pupils well and are committed to providing high levels of care. They respond sensitively to the particular needs of those with more profound challenges. Procedures for safeguarding pupils are in place and risk assessments are robust. Well established and utilised systems track pupils' academic progress through the school. Pupils know their own targets and through these many have a clear understanding of what level they are at and where they need to move to next. 'Teachers write down what you need to do to achieve the next level,' was a typical pupil comment. The majority of parents are supportive of the school. 'Staff are all very approachable and have a caring attitude to all the children,' typifies the views of many parents. However, a significant minority understandably expressed concerns over pupils' learning in mixed-age classes, making comments such as, 'It appears that literacy and numeracy objectives may have been repeated.'
Leadership and management
Grade: 2
A relentless drive for improvement, spearheaded by the headteacher, has been the motivating force behind the school's recent success in raising standards and assuring good progress. The culture of continual monitoring, evaluating and taking action to secure improvements is shared by staff at all levels. Expectations are high, and challenging target setting and tracking of pupils' progress have contributed to the improvements that the school now celebrates. All adults are involved in, and contribute to, self-evaluation and know the school well. Their contributions feed into the school improvement plan that is firmly rooted in raising standards and achievement. There is a particularly successful system of devolved leadership within the school whereby all teachers are fully aware of school priorities, responsible for actioning them and accountable to governors for their success. Community cohesion is good. The school works hard to embrace the local community and forges effective and supportive links beyond the immediate area that are beginning to enhance and develop pupils' awareness of their place in society. Governance is strong with high expectations for pupils' futures and equality of opportunity challenging the school to provide and generate the very best possible outcomes for all.

These are the main things we found out when we inspected the school.
- You and your teachers have worked hard to make sure that by Year 6 you attain standards in English and mathematics that are similar with those that are found in most schools. This means you are adequately prepared for your next school.
- You are taught well and your teachers work hard to make sure that your lessons are interesting and that you make good progress.
- It is good to know you are very happy with the way all the adults look after you and care for you, and we agree that they do this very well.

- We were very impressed by the way you could advise us about eating healthily and the real meaning of bullying Ä STOP (Several Times On Purpose).
- You behave well and your parents and carers should be very proud of the way you are so polite and welcoming to visitors.
- Your headteacher and deputy headteacher lead the school very well and the staff and governors work well together in a strong team.
To help your school stay as good and successful as it is we have asked your
headteacher, teachers and governors to do the following.
- Make sure that your science lessons are exciting with lots of practical experiments that will help you to reach higher standards.
- Think carefully about how they can organise your lessons in the mixed-age classes so that you are not doing some activities that were covered in the previous year.
- Make sure that your teachers find interesting ways of encouraging you to write in many different ways in many different subjects.
You too can help by continuing to be the best that you can be!
Thank you once again for being so kind and friendly - we really enjoyed seeing you at work and play!

red faced
The definition of red faced is when the blood vessels in your skin widen causing blood to reach your face.
Causes of a Red Face
- The most common reasons you blush are embarrassment, crying and anger. Adrenaline starts pumping your heart faster and your breathing increases and your facial blood vessels dilate, which causes blushing.
- When weather or exercise heats up your body, it cools itself off by sweating and by sending more blood to the surface of your skin.
- Alcohol causes your arteries to widen, but you may also have a genetic predisposition to this happening. Doctors call this "Alcohol Flush Reaction," which is caused by your body not being able to properly break down alcohol. This is a genetic condition, especially in people of South East Asian descent. That's why it is also called the "Asian Flush."
- Rosacea is a chronic skin condition which causes facial redness.
An example of red faced is when a child's cheeks become crimson after a prolonged period of crying.
Embarrassed: "They were caught red-handed, and now they are red-faced" (Margaret Thatcher).
(comparative more redfaced, superlative most redfaced)
- Alternative spelling of red-faced.
(comparative more red-faced, superlative most red-faced)
- Used other than as an idiom. Having a face that is the color red.
- With a red face; flushed, due to emotional or physical causes.
- (by extension) embarrassed
- A red-faced John edged his way quietly out of the room.
- (by extension) inebriate
- Coming home late and red-faced every night from the pub is not what I expected of you.
- (by extension) angry
- The customer gave a red-faced account of the argument with the waiter.
- (by extension) flustered
- "I can't for the life of me think where I left the tickets!", she cried out, red-faced.
- (by extension) exhausted
- He collapsed, red-faced from the effort, against the door jamb.
- (by extension) embarrassed

Teaser interest rate
A teaser interest rate is a well below market interest rate used as a come-on to encourage a borrower to sign a loan application for an ARM.
Expanded Definition
The special rate expires after a specified period, and the rate resets to the one calculated as specified in the ARM contract. Teaser rates can be loss leaders.
Many have been attracted to mortgages they cannot afford once the ARM resets. Previously they could refinance at a lower interest rate using the equity accumulated in their property while housing prices were rising quickly. But declines in housing values have caused many to lose what little equity they had and sometimes to lose their homes in foreclosure.
Those who borrow with ARMs should be careful to fully understand the formula used to calculate the interest rate and the monthly payments required once the teaser rate expires.
