With Mitt Romney's selection of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate, a few pundits here and there have questioned whether having a sitting House member on a political ticket helps or hurts.
Conventional wisdom has it that a senator or governor usually lends the necessary gravitas, and perhaps a few electoral votes, in order for the presidential candidate to win. Meanwhile, a member of the House in most cases doesn't have to win a statewide election, but rather only a small, specified region within a state that often is gerrymandered to ensure his or her victory.
Translation: A House member may have trouble winning votes outside their own backyard.
What does history show? Well, there have only been two attempts over the last half century, and the ticket with a sitting House member as a running mate crashed spectacularly both times. The last attempt was in 1984, when Democrat Walter Mondale picked N.Y. Rep. Geraldine Ferraro to be the first woman on a presidential ticket. Mondale won only one state and the District of Columbia in a Reagan landslide.
The time before that was 1964, when Republican Barry Goldwater picked another N.Y. lawmaker, Rep. William Miller, as his running mate. Goldwater's effort went down in flames as incumbent Lyndon Johnson captured a whopping 61% of the popular vote and 44 states.
The last successful presidential ticket with a sitting House member aboard as vice president took place in 1932, when Democrat Franklin Roosevelt picked John Nance Garner as his running mate. But Garner, a Texas congressman, was House speaker at the time.
On the Republican side, the last successful ticket with a sitting congressman as a V.P. candidate was, oddly enough, another New Yorker named James S. Sherman. Sherman was William Howard Taft's running mate when Taft won in 1908 and again when Taft lost in 1912. Sherman died a week before the latter election.
In the 19th Century, two sitting congressmen were on successful tickets for Republicans, giving GOP House members an overall 75% success rate – if you want to include the entire history of the Republican Party from 1856 on. On the Democratic side, there also were four total attempts involving sitting House members and the party is batting .500 overall – dating back to 1836.
For the record, Democrats also had five instances, all in the 19th Century, where a vice-presidential candidate's last public job was in the House but were not seated in the chamber when picked as running mates. Two of those candidates were successful and three lost.

Lately I have been experiencing terrible stomach pain after eating fresh pineapple. What is it from?
Pineapple is notoriously harsh on the stomach. Some people need to eat a lot to get bothered by it, but others can barely touch the stuff. It's very acidic. You can try taking an antacid, see if that helps.

Goals from Rob Jones and David Cotterill in the space of four first-half minutes set Doncaster on their way to their seventh away win of the season.
And Saunders said: "We've just got to keep pumping the results out and these wins are vital.
"We want to get out of this league as quickly as we can and get back to the Championship. The season is going better than I thought and I'm thrilled to have got the points we have got.
"It's a tight squad and an unselfish group of players and this was a great win for us against a side lacking a bit of confidence."
Saunders praised Cotterill's role in the first goal, saying: "The delivery was excellent and the second was a brilliant individual goal by Cotts (Cotterill), bending it over the keeper into the top corner."

Robert Mondavi Oakville District Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
Classically Cabernet and classically Oakville, the wine strikes a captivating balance between power and finesse. The delicious core of layered black fruit - creme de cassis, blackberry and black cherry - is imbued with rich mocha and toasty toffee with subtle traces of fresh bay and black pepper. Already complex and approachable, the sumptuous, mouth filling texture is lifted by refreshing acidity.
Blend: 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot, 1% Malbec
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Robert Mondavi's juicy, dense purple-colored 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville is a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 4% Merlot and 1% Malbec. It offers lots of creme de cassis, Christmas fruitcake and spice notes as well as a full-bodied mouthfeel, building incrementally to reveal abundant rich, cassis fruit, good acidity and sweet tannin. This beautiful Cabernet should drink well for two decades or more.
Rating: 94+"
Tasting Panel - "Dark, deep and luscious with racy acidity and lovely blueberry, plum and spice; supple, juicy and showing notes of chocolate and vanilla; complex, elegant and quite lovely."
International Wine Cellar - "Bright, deep red-ruby. Aromas and flavors of cassis, black cherry, graphite, licorice, menthol and bitter chocolate. Suave, sweet and concentrated if a bit youthfully aggressive and medicinal in the early going. But this has excellent energy and intensity, and classic Oakville character. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and lovely rising perfume.
Rating: 91(+?)"

Robert Mondavi Winery
For more than 40 years, Robert Mondavi Winery has been the symbol of Napa Valley. Founded in 1966, it was the first major winery built in Napa Valley in the three decades following the repeal of Prohibition (1933), and went on to establish the foundation for modern California winemaking. Robert Mondavi Winery's mission-styled architecture, with the expansive archway and bell tower designed by Cliff May, has become an enduring landmark that honors California's history. With the philosophy that great wines reflect their origins, Robert Mondavi Winery pursues the fullest expression of the terroir of its Napa Valley vineyards: the historic To Kalon Vineyard in the Oakville American Viticultural Area (AVA), and the Wappo Hill Vineyard in the Stags Leap Vineyard AVA.

About Napa ValleyView a map of Napa Valley wineries
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just grated an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

KLRU participated in the Boys & Girls Club Health Fair this past Saturday, April 11th benefiting all the Austin sites. Each site presented an activity of what their children have been learning about healthy habits. KLRU had five of the East Club site's iPads available for 100 kids to explore the PBS apps dedicated to healthy eating. We also presented "Order Up!" which is a live-action group game for up to 35 participants (in English and Spanish). Kids receive cards with varied foods and a challenge to assemble a meal that meets specified criteria (food groups, price, nutrition, etc.). The game grows in complexity in each round, with multiple criteria and bonus points for extra-healthy meals. Occasionally, a "trash round" permits a junk-food binge, but with tooth brushes offered as a reminder that trash foods should be once-in-a-while treats!

April 2015 Family Choice
KLRU chooses three to four programs each month for your family to enjoy and view together. In April 2015, we have the following lined up:
Wednesday, April 1 at 7:00 pm: NOVA "Alien Planets Revealed"
Combining animation with input from expert astrophysicists and astrobiologists, "Alien Planets Revealed" takes viewers on a journey along with the Kepler telescope. How does the telescope look for planets? How many of these planets are like our Earth? Will any of these planets be suitable for life as we know it?
Wednesday, April 15 at 7:00 pm: NATURE "Animal Homes: Location, Location, Location"
Finding a good base of operations is key to successfully raising a family. One must find the right stream or tree, the right building materials, neighbors and sometimes tenants. In the wild, every home is a unique DIY project, every head of household a designer and engineer.
Wednesday, April 22 at 7:00 pm: NATURE "Animal Houses: Animal Cities"
For some animals, living in the midst of huge colonies of their own kind is the most secure and rewarding housing arrangement. Icelandic puffins form nesting colonies of more than a million, providing shared information about food sources and reducing the odds of attacks on individual birds. But colonies are useful for predators, too.
Wednesday, April 22 at 8:00 pm: NOVA "Invisible Universe Revealed"
Twenty-five years ago, NASA launched one of the most ambitious experiments in the history of astronomy: the Hubble Space Telescope. In honor of Hubble's landmark anniversary, NOVA tells the remarkable story of the telescope that forever changed our understanding of the cosmos and our place in it.
Peg + Cat 100th Day of School
To celebrate this year's 100th Day of School, several partners held a Peg + Cat 100th Day of School event this past month. Both Foundation Communities: Trails at the Park and Boys & Girls Club East enjoyed playing the Peg + Cat "Peg's Pizza Place" activity as well as select videos on the number 100. For the second year, Anita Uphaus Early Childhood Center held a full morning of activities for their Kindergarten classes. The library was filled with centers all themed around the number 100!

Filmed over four years on 6 continents and in more than 40 countries, the Earthflight team uses many extraordinary techniques.
On November 11, billions of kilometers from Earth, a spacecraft orbiter and lander will do what no other has dared to attempt: land on the volatile surface of a comet as it zooms around the sun at 67, 000 km/hr. If successful, it could help peer into our past and unlock secrets of our origins.
The Shannon is Ireland's greatest geographical landmark and the longest river. It is both a barrier and highway — a silver ribbon holding back the rugged landscapes of the west from the gentler plains to the east. On its journey south, the Shannon passes through a huge palette of rural landscapes; where on little-known backwaters, Ireland's wild animals and plants still thrive as almost nowhere else.
February 2015 Family Choice
KLRU chooses three programs each month for your family to enjoy and view together. In February 2015, we have the following lined up:
This story of the world-famous Lipizzaner stallions focuses on the bond that develops between the horses and their caregivers, beginning at the moment of their birth and culminating in the perfect harmony between horse and rider demonstrated at the famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria.
Monday, February 9 at 8:00 pm: Antiques Roadshow "Celebrating Black Americana"
In this special to mark Black History Month, appraisal highlights include, among other items, an 1821 citizenship certificate for a free man of color, and an African American beauty book written by entrepreneur Madame C.J. Walker, the first American female millionaire.
Wednesday, February 18 at 7 pm: NATURE "Owl Power" NEW!
Using the camera technology, computer graphics, x-rays and ultra-microscopes available in the modern world, take a new look at owls in more detail than ever before. The real stories behind how they hunt, how their vision and hearing work, and how they fly so silently are influencing 21st-century technology and design, from high-tech aircraft and submarines to innovative hearing aids.
Wednesday, February 25 at 7 pm: NATURE "The Last Orangutan Eden" NEW
Working with a team of experienced researchers, ecologist Chris Morgan becomes completely immersed in a unique social band of wild orangs who use tools, share food, forage together, and create their own distinct culture. For the first time, advanced cameras are used to follow the orangs throughout the canopy to provide an intimate, clear picture of how these arboreal apes spend their days and nights and interact with one another.
Odd Squad Saves the World
The Boys & Girls Club at HACA's Flores Education & Training Center enjoyed an afternoon watching the ODD SQUAD "Saves The World" premier before its national debut on Monday, January 19th.
Clifford the Big Red Dog stopped by to kick off a fun math puzzle activity before the special. Kids were hard at work trying to be the first to figure out the puzzle before the premiere. Seventy Kindergartners through 5th graders enjoyed the event and left with a bookmark and a fun pocket-sized math riddle handout.

Part 1: "The Rise of the Dog." From the tiniest Chihuahua to the largest St. Bernard, all dogs claim the wolf as their ancestor. But how did the wolf become the domesticated dog, and how did the hundreds of breeds we know today come to be so different?
Wednesday, January 21 at 7pm: NATURE "Dog's That Changed The World"
Part 2: "Dog By Design." Some working dogs are able to use their skills to perform tasks they were bred for. But as we multiply and transform the many breeds of dogs, honing their looks and their sizes, we also change our relationship with them, and theirs with us.
Wednesday, January 28 at 7pm: NATURE "Penguin Post Office"
In the heart of the Antarctic Peninsula there's a post office surrounded by jaw-dropping scenery and 3,000 gentoo penguins. We'll see their four month drama of getting to their breeding grounds, finding a partner, building a nest, laying eggs, protecting them from predators and raising their young.
Odd Squad Premier at Foundation Communities site
Maya and Miguel were special guests at Foundation Communities Trails at the Park site on Tuesday, November 25th.

this is going to be one epic money pit. but at least it'll be fun!
That's $#@!ing awesome. I wonder where they're building the course?
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Longhorn Speedway!
Holy $#@!, I never thought that could happen. Austin just reached EPIC status
There is an old racetrack at 183 and FM 812 in Elroy
HOLY $#@!!!!!!!! I always thought Austin would make a great place for f-1, or even a video game track. This is amazing.
I was browing the F1 site and blogs for my daily fix and saw a pic of the Austin skyline. To say im ecstatic is an understatement. Un $#@!ing believable.
Barcelona, Monaco, Istanbul, Shanghai, Bahrain, Montreal, Budapest, Sao Palo, Abu Dhabi, and $#@!ing AUSTIN TEXAS! Has a nice ring to it
Did RC offer the B/CS area?
major hurdles still, track still has to be built, event is 2 years away, could easily be a tactic by bernie in negotations with the promoter/venue he truly wants.
caveats - all vehicles must be hybrids and must install anti snail darter collision systems.
Very cool though. Another reason to make a trip back to Austin
I hope it goes off.
My son will be 4-1/2 for the first one and 13-1/2 for the last one in the stated 2012-2021 contract.
ask the Indianapolis Motor Speedway how this turned out....Ank is right, it'll certainly be a money pit.
not if Tilke designs it.When all is said and done Austin should have the best road course in the country.
Wut?. Austin features that rare combination of ideal geographic location and beauty. Its fine dining, world-renowned hospitality and excellent transportation infrastructure make Austin ideally suited to host and manage an event of this magnitude
But yea, I think I just spooged a little.
and that's just professional series.
then there's track days for regional racing associations for bikes & cars

now we get to have another $#@!ing weekend packed full of retarded tourists.. yay
wood. i have it.
$#@! a purpose built course - i want to see an f1 car do 2222!
Hope bike lanes are part of the plans. :P
really excited about this. austin just keeps on getting better.
after calming down and looking at the whole press release, this is a loooooooong way from becoming reality.
all this means is that homeboy paid Bernie millions for an option. There's a 100M race track+facilities yet to be funded, purchased, and constructed, and a 30M+ event fee. Donnington Park is the most recent example of vapor-race that was "scheduled."
In. Very in.

It has been a pleasure to circulate thoughts
CORPUS CHRISTI - For some readers, what follows will signal peace on Earth. Others (mostly my relatives) may feel more like Grandma when she got run over by a reindeer.
This is my last Caller-Times column. For more than two years, I enjoyed sharing Sundays and Thursdays with you. The best compliments were ones saying I had put readers' thoughts and kitchen-table conversations into wider circulation.
It hasn't been about showcasing my sweet tooth or my goofy outlook, although that has been fun.
It hasn't been about agitating for a recycling cart, although if it arrives as promised it will be one small step for city progress and one giant leap for the state of my garage.
In this space, I weighed in on current events, trying to reflect the Average Jane's thoughts or, when all else failed, offering comic relief. We didn't always agree. I didn't expect we would, and enjoyed the debate. As 2010 draws to a close, I find I have goals incompatible with spending hours riveted to City Council meetings and trolling online news sites (see sweets: excessive consumption of). I do not take lightly the decision to depart during an era when material is in ample supply. From representin' the 361 to festive PJ's to the soap opera known as Memorial Coliseum, it was an embarrassment of riches.
If my decision plays a small role in helping John Boehner, R-Ohio, stop crying, I'll gladly sacrifice.
For those breathing a sigh of relief upon my exit, I caution against getting too comfy. I don't flatter myself I'm the only one capable of caustic commentary. We know opinions are like, um, arteries; everyone has 'em.
I'll remain in the area. Like you, I'm interested in whether Destination Bayfront is as dreamy and achievable as advertised. Whether we're as gung-ho about boosting our area's education and employment levels as we seem to be about losing our "nation's fattest" label. Whether "Tea Party" can recapture its innocent image of stuffed animals sipping from ceramic cups. (A girl can dream.)
Talking over the fence about the challenges, irritants, joys and sorrows we share has been my privilege.
See you around, neighbor.

Ridgway football had their 2-game winning streak snapped as the Elkers lost 42-0 to Allegany High School out of Cumberland, Md. Friday night at Memorial Field in Ridgway.
Allegany led from the first play on and scored 28 points in the second half to put the game out of reach.
Ridgway volleyball had little trouble in a 3-0 (25-15, 25-10, 25-6) win over DuBois Central Catholic Thursday night at Ridgway Area High School.
After giving up the team's first goal in six matches, the Lady Elkers made sure to take control of Wednesday's match from Port Allegany.

Library names new director
A second search has yielded a new director for the Chapel Hill Public Library.
Town Manager Roger Stancil announced Monday that Susan Brown, marketing director for the Lawrence Public Library in Kansas, will become director of the Chapel Hill library May 20.
In an interview, Brown, a former branch manager for the Carrboro Cybrary, said she looks forward to returning to Chapel Hill, where she attended graduate school.
"We left Chapel Hill close to seven years ago for a job opportunity for my husband," Brown said. "We've been trying to get back for some time. When I saw the Chapel Hill job show up, I could not pass on it."
Brown will earn $90,392 a year in the post.
The search for a new library director to replace Kathleen Thompson, who retired after 27 years, started anew in December after a consultant and town officials reviewed more than 60 applications and did not find a candidate they thought was a good fit for the job.
Stancil said in a news release he is confident Brown is the best person to lead the library in its next chapter in its history.
"We can expect to see a new library director who will be creating new connections and partnerships across the community for engagement as our library transforms for the digital age and as a center for civic communication," Stancil said.
Brown, who earned a master's degree in library science from UNC's School of Information and Library Science and a bachelor's degree in history from Virginia Tech University, is taking the reins of the Chapel Hill library at an important time.
The library is in the process of moving from temporary quarters at University Mall into a newly renovated library. The $16.2 million expansion has more than doubled the size of the facility.
A grand opening has been scheduled next month, and Brown said she plans to attend as many of the ceremonial events as possible to commemorate the renovated facility.
"I got to take a tour during the interview process," Brown said. "It's just beautiful. It's like a library in a tree house."
She noted that the Lawrence Public Library recently moved to a temporary facility while a renovation and expansion takes place there.
"Lawrence and Chapel Hill have quite a bit in common," Brown said. "Of course, Chapel Hill has better basketball."
Brown said both communities have great passion for their libraries and offer plenty of support.
She said she will work to increase community outreach when she takes over, and sees many opportunities to do so.
The library expansion, more than doubling the size of the facility, has created an intense discussion about staffing and operating hours.
As a cost-saving measure, Town Manager Roger Stancil has given the council the option of trimming hours – from 68 to 54 hour per week.
The move would save about $433,000 in personnel and facility costs, both of which would increase in the expanded library. Most savings -- $300,000 – from reduced hours would be achieved through lowered personnel costs.
The other $133,000 in facility costs would come from reduced usage of electricity, gas and water. The costs of those utilities are all set to increase dramatically at the larger library.
Brown said she needs more time before staking out a position on that issue.
"That's one I need to get there and get my feet wet and learn the history before saying anything about that," Brown said.
In Lawrence, Brown also served as adult services librarian.
She was previously a reference librarian at the Cameron Village Regional Library in Raleigh, and a library assistant at libraries in Virginia -- Virginia Commonwealth University's Cabell Library and the Library of Virginia in Richmond.
Candidates for the library director position participated in an assessment center designed to identify those who best met the interests of the town.
Town staff and library advisory boards jointly developed a needs assessment for a librarian with experience in community engagement, one who thinks about libraries of the future, and who can also serve as a member of the town's senior management team.
Assessors included staff, including library staff, as well as librarians from other communities and representatives of the Library Board of Trustees, Library Foundation, and Friends of the Library.

Venison Health Benefits
Health Benefits of Venison
According to many individuals, Venison can often be described as being the perfect red meat. With a large number of health benefits, Venison is considered by many to be the perfect choice for individuals who are either health conscious or watching their weight. With an abundant supply of necessary proteins and nutrients, deer meat contains little fat and contains fewer calories than many of the leading types of meats found in stores. Rich in vitamins and nutrients such as iron, protein, riboflavin, niacin and vitamins B12/B6, venison continues to be a health alternative for hunters and families alike. With a slightly gamey taste and deep woody flavor, Venison contains no additives or antibiotics that nearly all store-bought meats and poultry contain.
Ensuring Venison & other Meats are Healthy & Safe
Every year, the FDA takes more measures to make sure American food is safe for human consumption. In the meat processing industry, many of these measures involve techniques to treat foods in order to destroy parasites, tapeworms, bacteria and other pests that can cause harm if consumed by humans. To do this, companies often face treating or exposing their livestock to antibiotic treatments, pesticides and food additives to help prevent such problems in their animals. Not knowing all of the effects of these additives, many people now seek alternatives to store bought meats or prefer to only purchase poultry and meat that is free-range and are not treated with steroids, pesticides, or food additives. Many of these individuals (including non hunters) now see the benefits of consuming deer meat and are turning to Venison as a fresh alternative.
Healthy Habits – Turn to Venison
No longer a meat just for the hunting community, health-conscious consumers are now finding an interest in buying naturally raised, chemical free Vension for themselves and their families. Another reason why people turn to Venison instead of commercially grown and processed beef is due to the fact that Venison contains no additives, antibiotics or steroids. Coupling this with the low fat content, high protein, and ample levels of vitamins and nutrients, it is no wonder that Venison continues to grow in popularity year after year.
Though Venison may be hard to obtain for some people, American families continue to enjoy this delicious meat by substituting it in many popular recipes such as meat loafs, lasagna, and meat sauces. For those individuals lucky enough to know a hunter or be one, Venison can often provide a small family with enough meat to last several months through the year. With this said, there are many ways of preparing deer meat for consumption, many of which provide the body with nutrients such as:
Vitamins in Venison:
B1, Thiamin
B2, Riboflavin (good amount)
B3, Niacin (good amount)
B5, Pantothenic Acid
B6, Pyridoxine
B9, Folate
B12, Cobalamin (large amount)
Other Nutrients in Venison:
Iron (good amount)
Phosphorus (good amount)
Natural Fats
Cholesterol (good amount)
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Amino Acids (extreme amounts)
Some health benefits of eating Venison include:
- Does not contain additives or antibiotics
- Low fat content, especially saturated fat
- Ample source of iron, a necessary component that transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, and is also part of key enzyme systems for energy production and metabolism.
- A good source of vitamin B12 and B6
- Contains riboflavin which helps improve energy metabolism and can help individuals who suffer from migrains
- Contains niacin (vitamin B3) which helps to reduce osteoarthritis risk by as much as half.
- Trace amounts of cholesterol, perfect for individuals vulnerable to heart disease.
- Helps with Menstruation and Pregnant women (iron)
- Protects from Diabetic Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis
- Supports Colon Health and improves Immune System
- Reduces Risk of Colon Cancer, Heart Attack, Stoke, Osteoporosis
- Supports Skin, Hair, Nail and Muscle Health
We hope you continue to enjoy living a healthy lifestyle and incorporate Venison into your meals, as it is a sustainable and healthy alternative to red meat!

They're in the middle of the pack, between Latvia and Russia.

Hi, my name is Glenda Gemwinkle and I am addicted to discount single bathroom vanities. I spend hours looking at them online because the designs are so beautiful! Ones in the antique style remind me of my grandmother and her strong-smelling perfume. She had one of those elegant glass bottles that stayed in the same place on her antique bathroom vanity for years. As much as I love my grandmother, I have to admit that I harbor a secret love for contemporary bathroom vanities, especially the ones that have great discounts.
This addiction started a few years ago when I needed to shop for my new single bathroom vanity. I looked at a few stores but they did not have a great selection and I was not thrilled by any of their styles. I decided to be brave and search online and there it was! The site that I have since set as my homepage, premierevanities.com. They had so many choices! It was very difficult for me to choose just one but I did and I love it. I tell my discount single bathroom vanity all my secrets and it never tells them to a soul! Perhaps that is because there is no one else in this house to tell, but still, it has a great track record. If you are in the market for a new single bathroom vanity, do not look anywhere but premierevanities.com. The discounts are extraordinary! They have added some great ones since yesterday, trust me on that one.
Enjoy searching for you new vanity, I know I did! Just be careful not to become a discount single bathroom vanities addict, it is just too hard to quit!

Originally published in Interiors & Sources
By Penny Bonda, FASID, LEED AP
Last spring, the design world was abuzz with grumblings of dissatisfaction over the newest iteration of the world's most popular green rating system—and then it happened. Originally scheduled
for membership balloting this past June, LEED 2012, as it was then known, had its name changed to LEED v4 and the balloting process delayed a full year until June 2013.
This was—and still is—shocking news to devotees of LEED. Since its very beginnings a decade and a half ago, we have watched it evolve from one rating system into many—sometimes painfully and not without controversy, but always, it seemed to me, with a paternal type of protectionism. LEED was our validation of the types of buildings we wanted to design, build, maintain and inhabit. It assured us that we were doing our part in protecting the planet.
And it worked. LEED certifies nearly 2 million square feet of commercial space every day, has surpassed 2 billion square feet certified in more than 130 countries, and has 7 billion square feet of registered projects in the pipeline. LEED for Homes is also racking up impressive numbers.
It hasn't been just a success of square footage;
LEED has also helped support the American economy during one of the worst downturns in our history (something the presidential candidates might want to pay attention to). "The journey to this milestone has energized our economy—funneling
$554 billion annually into the U.S. economy alone—and has helped support 7.9 million jobs across the U.S.," said U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) President, CEO and Founding Chair Rick Fedrizzi back in July.
Although LEED continues to thrive, the USGBC would not have delayed the 2012 ballot without certainty that the measure would fail to achieve the required majority of the membership vote.
Scot Horst, USGBC's senior vice president for LEED, confirmed as much during a recent interview.

Is Laura Bush a feminist?By
Sewall-Belmont House is a museum dedicated to advancing women and every year they honor a woman for that purpose. Past recipients include Katie Couric, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton. This year, the board picked former First Lady, Laura Bush, but feminists across the country are hopping mad and twenty-one of them sent a letter of protest to the current board. One of the many prominent feminist signatories, Sonia Pressman-Fuentes, a former board member of the museum and co-founder of NOW (the National Organization of Women), says, "It's not partisan. I'm not complaining that she's a Republican. I'm complaining that she's never done anything for women to get this award."
Apparently speaking out against the subjugation and abuse endured by Afghani girls and women means nothing if it doesn't include a plan to bring free birth control to the victims. And using her platform as a First Lady to bring global awareness to the plight of Muslim women during trips to the Middle East or as Mrs. Bush did in a touching op-ed for the Washington Post doesn't count as "advancing women" for the abortion-obsessed feminist enforcers at NOW.
Sewall-Belmont House Museum took an important step toward expanding the definition of feminism. But until the old guard in ivory towers and the board rooms of NOW catch up, young, successful women will continue to perceive the feminist movement as an irrelevant blast from the past.
7 thoughts on "Is Laura Bush a feminist?"
They oppose her choice of husband, that's for sure – Bush Derangement Syndrome trumps even her Abortion stance!
Seems to me they oppose her Choice for Husband more…Bush Derangement Syndrome trumps even Abortion stances!
As a young woman growing up in the early seventies I thought I knew what being a woman was all about. I was informed by the culture and the culture was sick. I have come to see that being a woman is about being equal but different than men. Not to mention the fact that being a mother is the most difficult and most important job in the world. I don't agree with Laura Bush's pro-choice stance. What is the choice? The choice is to end a human life. However, she has brought attention to issues that affect women around the world. Closed minds cannot see that. They only see what they think is the pinnacle of women's rights. Abortion. I pray that they will see the emotional, spiritual and physical harm it brings women and get on board supporting women who choose the only morally right thing LIFE….
If they see abortion rights as being the alpha and omega of feminism, they would have no problem with Ms. Bush who is pro-choice.
I think it's great that the wife of a Republican congressman is defending a pro-choice former first lady!
Thank you for some honest reporting.I'm so tired of these women who think they know what us REAL WOMAN, with real every day lives care about. it's not funny. It certainly is not aborting our babies and we don't want your free condoms. We're happy raising our children and keeping them out of govt. schools so they can't be brain washed. Thank you very much.
As Laura Bush is pro-choice, I seriously doubt these organizations were complaining about her supposed anti-abortion stances.

As an Andrew W. Mellon postdoctoral fellow at Hampshire, much of George Gathigi's work involves introducing students to the cultures and languages of East Africa. Organizing Africa Day 2010—with its theme of Expressing Africa: Tongues, Tastes, and Trends—gave him and others an opportunity to showcase on campus some of that culture.
Said Gathigi: "It was a little bit of Africa right here. Students were able to learn about study abroad programs, to hear the music, read some of the literature, and connect with students who are from Africa."
The Five College West African Music Ensemble opened up the November 6 event with a drumming and dance performance in the Franklin Patterson Hall courtyard. A welcome address followed in the FPH main lecture hall, which included language performances by students of Smith College Swahili language mentor Agnes Kimokoti and a discussion of the Kenya-based NGO Africa Center for Engineering Social Solutions (ACESS).
Hampshire student Spencer Kuchle 08F first volunteered with ACESS shortly after graduating from high school. His mother, Mt. Holyoke College President Lynn Pasquerella, helped organize ACESS and she also spoke at Africa Day. Kuchle says that he now tries to help students who have never been to Africa prepare for volunteering there.
"You can't impose your knowledge. You've got to let communities respond to your information, try to form what you're doing around what the culture and community wants," Kuchle said. "We're going into communities and letting them decide what they need help with most."
Other interns shared their experiences during a panel presentation, Reflecting on Interning in Africa. Down the hall, professors Aracelis Girmay and Nell Arnold facilitated an informal African literature reading space. Books were dispersed throughout the room, and computers set up to display information about authors and their works.
An African language workshop, clothing demonstrations, and a dinner rounded out the event, which Hampshire student Lorraine Chilimanzi 07F was glad to see well attended by her classmates.
"In true Hampshire spirit, I think much learning takes place outside of the classroom," said Chilimanzi. "We need to take advantage of opportunities and learn what's going on."
The 2010 event marked the fifth anniversary of the annual Five Colleges Africa Day, and was the first time the event had been held at the Hampshire campus.

Best Fast Food St. Louis 2005 - Big V's Burger Joint
Readers' Choice: Taco Bell
Seventeen words into this paean to Big V's glorious victuals, and already Vito Racanelli is gettin' sassy: "It's not fast food. It's Big V's." The owner's slogan is understandable -- after all, "fast food" isn't typically synonymous with super-fresh, insanely tasty eats. But lo, Vito and his coterie of cooks make our meal in about the time it would take to idle in a drive-through -- and what we get in that spiffy white box (no greasy bags here) is awesome. Carnivores delight in Big V's signature burgers, from the basic single to the aptly named Animal: three patties further delish-ified by barbecue sauce, American cheese, bacon, grilled onions and roasted jalapeños. But it's not just the burgers that make the joint so great. A sourdough chicken club is rendered flat-out craveable by the addition of avocado and a sweet chili mayo. Humble potatoes achieve their highest calling by becoming seasoned, hand-cut French fries. And as if all this weren't enough, Big V's offers daily specials, like a killer Cajun turkey burger or an ahi tuna salad (!) made with sushi-grade fish from Market in the Loop neighbor Bob's Seafood. Vito Racanelli can call his food whatever he wants -- as long as he saves some for us.

A film by Nick Francis (speak-it.org) & Marc Silver (marcsilver.net)
An intimate portrait of Omar, a 17 year old stranded in a refugee camp since the 2011 war in Libya.
The film offers a unique perspective of one person amongst thousands waiting for a chance to start their life again in a safe country.
When war broke out earlier this year in Libya, thousands of refugees from countries such as Somalia, Sudan, and Eritrea, who were living in or transiting through the country at the time, were forced to flee for their lives yet again. They are now waiting in refugee camps along the Tunisian and Egyptian borders - unable to return home due to war or persecution, unable to return to Libya due to ongoing violence and discrimination, and unable to stay in Tunisia or Egypt, countries both undergoing their own political upheavals.

Most of my pieces are vessel forms which I decorate with underglazes. I use scraffito technique to reveal the color of the clay underneath. All my designs and carvings are done freehand, no patterns or stencils are used. I try to work quickly while drawing the design on the piece and therefore transferring the spontaneity into every piece. On the bowls and platters the design is also on the underside of the rim.
Clay and nature have been my inspiration for several years and I hope that people will sense the joy I feel while working with clay in all my pieces. With my pottery the goal is simply to create functional art to bring beauty to our everyday lives.

50by70 II: American Sampler – The Art of Corita Kent
We had a lovely surprise last week when our printers PUSH brought by a volume of American Sampler – The Art of Corita Kent a collection of six large-format serigraphs in one beautiful box. This edition is the second collaboration between designer Tim Fishlock with his 50by70 showcase and PUSH and it's a truly wonderful progression with the iconic 1960s peace graphics of Sister Mary Corita – the screen-printing nun.
A corresponding essay by Michael Sims was commissioned by Fishlock and adds a perfectly-gauged insight into the unique and fascinating lady who ran the art department at Immaculate Heart College until 1968 when she left the Order. Her art was passionately colourful and typographically vocal and earned her as many admirers as caustic looks from within both the art and religious communities. The graphics endure, Kent's archetypal message of love, peace and social justice still as relevant today as ever before.

Parkwood girls pull away from Cox Mill
Junior forward Emry Tsitouris and sophomore guard Lillian Geehring each scored nine points to lead Parkwood High's girls basketball team to a 45-23 win over host Cox Mill in the first round of the CMC-NorthEast Christmas Tournament on Thursday.
The Rebels are now 7-0 on the season, while Cox Mill fell to 3-7.
Parkwood held a 19-8 advantage at the half before outscoring the Chargers 26-15 over the final two quarters to pull away.
"I thought we did a real good job defensively," said Rebels coach Don Mather, whose team didn't allow more than eight points in a quarter. "We weren't shooting well, so we had to use our defense to get us some layups on the other end."
Tsitouris was held well below her season average of 22.8 points per game, but did contribute 13 rebounds and six steals — both team highs.
"She's huge," said Mather of Tsitouris. "She's our leading rebounder and she's a force inside for us. When we're not making shots we try to get the ball inside to her to kind of settle us down a little bit."
Senior guard Maggie Smith added eight points for the Rebels, which also got six points apiece from senior guard Kaci Coffey and sophomore guard Lauren Brown.
Parkwood plays Southern Carolina Conference foe Weddington in the semifinals today starting at 7 p.m.
"You want to be able to win when you don't have a good night, and that's what happened for us (Thursday)," said Mather. "(Today) we better be ready to have a good night because we're playing a really good team."

This is awesome and truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing your picks :) I hope I can grow just as much as these ladies have from their blogging. I write about my teens going through an autoimmune disease, but also a hopeful look on how it is to be a 20-something female today. I love how you all talk about feeling good and going after your dreams. Truly encouraging :) I would love for any feedback on my blog too if you could :)

Five Fab Gen-Y Female Bloggers You Must Know
Thanks to Trop50 for sponsoring my writing about fabulous bloggers. This year Trop50 is granting 50 Fabulous Wishes.
When I started blogging 4 years ago, if someone had told me that some of my greatest friends would be people from the internet. I would have laughed at them. YOU MEAN STRANGERS? NO really. In addition to being a blogger, I am an avid blog reader. Almost daily I check in on the lives, thoughts, ideas and inspiration provided by my interconnected blogger pool. The number of bloggers that I admire could keep us here all day, but TODAY I've been challenged to share 5 fabulous bloggers. So my disclaimer: if you are not on this list, that doesn't mean you wouldn't be on the list of 7 or 10 bloggers but I'm sticking to my limit today. I hope that you, dear readers, discover at least one new blogger in this round-up. In alphabetical order:

Sydney Owen
I have the reverse scenario with Sydney as the other bloggers. I did not start reading her blog until I met her. We met in March 2009. After spending 5 days with her at SXSW, I told her she needed to get business cards printed that said "Sydney Makes Sh*t Happen". A little over 2 years later Sydney is beyond proving me right. She jumps out of airplanes both as a hobby and a profession. Try that one on for size, ehh! Her writing is heartfelt, intense, and kind of inspirational in a non-cheerleader way. Sydney is the kind of person that if she's excited about something, she'll have you excited about it too. Sydney is an entrepreneur, a firecracker and also FULL of heart. She's a go-to-the-edge-of-the-earth for someone kind of friend.
Sydney's Blog:
Doniree Walker
And last but not least Ms Doniree Walker, also known as Doni. Doniree has a sweet soul that shows in everything she touches. Her writing is diverse, some days pensive, others joyful, but always filled with so much of her. Doni seems to always be questioning, what can be learned from something, what's next, and what is… in this moment. I'm honored to know her and always inspired by her writing. Ever heard the saying about something being all "sunshines and roses" I'm pretty sure this girl is. She's a smiley kinda girl, in a content, happy to be alive kinda way.

Elysa, thank you so much!! This post was so sweet - you have such a way with words, and with really seeing the best in people. I'm honored and deeply touched to be included among such other fabulous women :)
Aw, thank you. Such a wonderful write-up xo
Elysa - Wow, thank you so much! I'm in a kind of state of WOW. This is an amazing group of women that I am HONORED to be included with. Wow. Again. :)
Dude. Thank you so much! Totally flattered to be on this list and so proud of you and everything you've accomplished so far. It's been a wild ride!
That is an interesting article about women who decide(d) not to have children. I was one of those, and I made that choice very early on in life as I wanted a career and to travel. I did not experience the prejudice that you speak of as most of the other women I met working overseas were also non married and childless, thus allowing them the flexibility to work wherever and wherever. Whether or not this was a conscious decision on their part is another question. But, what I found is I tended to hang around single people, and working overseas there were a lot, we tend to be unique individuals! Now that I am back in the States, i am at an age where I now hang around adults that have children - but the children are all older so there is not the feeling of being left out during mommy /children outings! I always wonder if I stayed here what my choices would have been!
Elysa. THANK YOU! That's got to be some of the nicest things I've ever read - thank you so, so much! I am constantly inspired by YOU.
Wow! 5 completely new to my bloggers. How fun to get to explore some new blogs. :)

Morihei Ueshiba, Founder Of Aikido (12)
by Kanemoto Sunadomari
Aiki News #83 (January 1990)
The author, Mr. Kanemoto Sunadomari, first met Morihei Ueshiba in 1928. A devout follower of the Omoto religion, he delves deeply into the influence of this religion on the art of aikido. This, the first biography of the Founder of Aikido, was published in February 1969 and is reprinted with the permission of the Sunadomari family.
The Science Of The Soul Of Language
Founder in Ayabe, c. 1922
"The Gospel According to John," in the New Testament of the Christian "Bible" begins: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men." These words are known by virtually everyone, but how many people truly understand the meaning of this passage? Even in the Christian religion, there is no single clear explanation of the phrase, "the Word was God."
Japan has been described in phrases inherited from the age of myths and written in ancient books, such as, "The nation where the soul of language is alive," "The nation of Kotodama no Amaterasu [she who shines in the sky, and rules Japan]," "The nation that is nourished by the soul of language," and so on. This sounds very mysterious when contrasted with the Christian Bible. To understand the eternal profundity of the soul of language is equivalent to having knowledge of the kami (deities). Thus it is impossible to express the idea of the kami perfectly with any language, much less write down everything about the kami.
However, if we study a part of the Kotodama system [a Shinto-based belief that sounds have an intrinsic value capable of affecting physical reality] and apply that part to the 50 sounds based on the pure vowels "a, i, u, e, o," and the 75 voices, we see that all of them are interconnected. You can understand this secret when you consider the sound "a," as a written character [in the Japanese syllabary] to be tai [a body] which is visible to the naked eye, and "a," the sound uttered as the "soul" (rei) of the sound entity. The spiritual essence of the sound "a" has a meaning which becomes the visible Kotodama when expressed positively (yang), while it is the invisible one when expressed in a negative (yin) manner. The function of the V sound gives us the word "to tie together," which can apply between two people, or between a person and a thing. The fact that they push each other from both sides doesn't refer to fighting here, but rather to a mutual union in a true sense, a harmony. However, when "u" acts negatively, it means "to forsake" or "rebel." So you should first seek and discover the function of a sound by these methods in order to understand sounds in their infinite variety. The Kotodama of "u" is pronounced naturally from deep inside the human body. To explain simply, if you were forced down by an object that exceeded the limit of your physical power, you would pronounce the Kotodama of "u" instinctively under the stress of the situation. The most obvious example is the time that Morihei moved a huge stone, as described earlier [AN 80]. The branches and the leaves that derive from the soul of language are called kotoba [words].
By investigating details from the root to the branches and leaves of on [sound] that a man pronounces or is able to pronounce, the science of the soul of language [genreigaku] analyzes the function and minutely examines the means of proper utilization of the sounds. Even if a man spent his entire life at it, he wouldn't be able to understand all the nuances of "the science of the soul of language."
The language of prayer used in various religions, such as Norito [Shinto prayer], the Buddhist sutras, or Christian words of prayer can result in strong communication with the spiritual world, when they are Shin [true]. We often say karanen-butsu [to chant empty prayers to Amida Buddha], which is something that often happens because the prayers are not fully imbued with Kotodama, because they die, break, or are obscure, and because they don't fully utilize the soul of language inherent in the language itself. It does not matter whether the voice is sweet or hoarse. Only Kotodama or the voice of a man who has completely purified his spirit and body can communicate well with the divine world.
Aikido does not use particularly powerful kiai [shouts] in ordinary practice. Instead aikidoka practice with normal breathing. However, in any martial art, when the students are filled with vigor, they cry out "ei!!," "ya!!," and "to!!" When these are defined in the narrow terms of martial arts, "e" means to cleave. The shout of "e" has the power to disintegrate the rigid mind and body of the enemy. When we apply this theory to the wider world of morality, "e" means the power of happiness. If "e" is expressed outwardly it represents the kokoro (spirit) which divides something and allots it, while if it expressed inwardly, it is the kokoro which receives what has been divided and alloted. But when this "e" is linked with evil, it gains the power to scatter and destroy the enemy. For example, when "e" is used in the serious occasion of a duel, it is replaced with "ei" and becomes a shout to smash the enemy. When this cry of "e" reacts with "yo" ["sunlight" or "positive"] it becomes happiness, while when it cooperates with "in" ["shade" or "negative"], it means to scoop out.
When Kotodama is applied to a shout of "ya!!" and it acts with "yo," it means "to cover something from outside", while when it works on "in," it is an action to pierce something inside out. A shout of "to!!" means a conclusion, and in Kotodama terms, it has the meanings of "stopping, staying, passing through, or escaping in any direction."
The greatest and most effective organ of communication between our world and the spiritual world or the divine world is Kotodama. It is assisted by spiritual sight, and spiritual hearing. This is an explanation in simple terms of the science of Kotodama.
As Onisaburo Deguchi had mastered the general principles of the power of divine sight, the power of divine hearing, the power to penetrate people's minds, the power of speaking for the kami, and the power to see karma, he was already well-informed about and acquainted with the past, present, and future.

I contacted Kaaren about a property just outside her area and she was remarkably helpful. It was not one of her listings, though she volunteered for me to go do a visit and did a number of helpful photos. She knew her Julian area well, and was very informative about so many of the adjoining areas. I chose not to proceed with the particular purchase but would surely want to work with her on other listings which I find or that she shows me in her area.

Ratings & Reviews
You want a smart consciousness person? I've been very impressed by Kaaren's ability and achievements on my behalf. Only having one property and manager (and no comparisons), that's all I can say. I bet she'd be a success at anything she tried.
Kaaren Terry has managed three Julian properties I own since 2008. I trust her knowledge of the Julian real estate market and her competence as a property manager and would recommend her to any prospective client looking for a realtor in the Julian area. Kaaren also represented me as a listing and sales agent for one property, the sale of which she handled professionally and efficiently.
My wife and I rented a beautiful home that Kaaren managed in Julian, California. While the home was wonderful, she certainly was not! On one occasion, she tried to enter our rental when we were out!
We thought someone tried to break-in! My wife called the Sheriff's Department. Soon after, we found out that Kaaren was responsible. This concerned my wife and I. We are not accustomed to this kind of treatment and we never gave Kaaren our consent to enter.
Later that year, a portion of our roof was torn off by a BIG windstorm. Kaaren showed little concern for our safety and dragged her feet on the repairs needed. Unfortunately, (two weeks later), a big rainstorm hit and our beautiful rental home was flooded with water!
If that wasn't bad enough, what she did next was completely unethical. As we stood in the middle of Kaaren's busy Julian office, she apologized for our trouble, asked us to find another rental, and told us that last our last month would be "rent free". I don't know why I believed her at this point... but I did. You can guess what happened next... Kaaren claimed that we skipped out on rent and threatened to evict us even as we were moving out!
This story has a happy ending... Now 5 years later, my wife and I are proud homeowners! Needless to say, we DID NOT go to Kaaren Terry or Mountain Farms Realty for help with our purchase!!!

With a different surgeon to last time, Giuseppe Rossi will undergo an operation on Friday in the US on his latest knee ligament injury.
The Italy striker has been ruled out of Euro 2012 this summer after re-injuring the same right knee ligaments [12] last week in training that he first damaged last October.
His agent described the injury as resulting from a 'banal incident' [13] and suggested that the quality of the surgery the first time around had not been up to scratch for the joint to have still been so weak.
Subsequently and as Mundo Deportivo report, Rossi has changed surgeons and for tomorrow's procedure, will find himself under the knife of famous knee surgeon Dr Richard Steadman. The striker is still set for a six-month recovery period.
