Ted Haggard Scores Reality Special on TLC
Aptly titled 'Ted Haggard: Scandalous,' the show will presumably show how the pastor and his family rebuilt their lives since his epic fall in late 2006. It will also serve as a bit of a public relations device and document his announcement of a new ministry in Colorado Springs, Colo. The special airs Jan. 16.
"My family and I endured the darkest hours imaginable in the public spotlight, and have spent the last four years fighting and struggling to rebuild our lives, our faith and our family," says Haggard in a statement to Entertainment Weekly.
The preacher, known as Pastor Ted to his followers, was the leader of the 30-million strong National Association of Evangelicals and head of the New Life Church in Colorado Springs when a male prostitute-masseur named Mike Jones alleged that Haggard had paid him for sex as well as crystal meth.
The pastor quit his post at the NAE and eventually left New Life. Since then, he's been getting therapy and has called himself a "heterosexual with issues." He remains married, and he and his wife Gayle have five children.
Haggard tells EW that he hopes "showing the world the new chapter of our lives will hopefully inspire others to find their own path to overcome their struggles and embrace the power of acceptance."
He says that if he can be redeemed, then anyone can. "The church is open to all, even those who have committed the darkest sins."
'Ted Haggard: Scandalous' is being produced by RelativityReal, makers of 'Broke & Famous' and 'Find My Family.' If successful, it could lead to more episodes down the road. (Dare we suggest a camping trip with TLC-mate Palin?)

As a gay man, I have known many, many other so called "heterosexual men with issues" who were trying to turn their life around and going to therapy to be straight. Being gay was not acceptable to most people. I have never in my 60 plus years known one who didn't go back to sleeping with men. Maybe not quickly but eventually they all did. I am not trying to discourage anyone who cannot accept who they are but believe me, he is a homosexual man with issues...mainly unable to admit who he is. Those who think that religion and therapy can change him and make or keep him straight are unfortuantely not being realistic. Of and by the way, for all of you out there who are still being told by anyone that it is a choice...they ARE wrong. Step into the 21st century and accept people for who they are.

it is a choice. God didn't accidentally put a woman in a man's body. u chose to be gay. it's so wrong & disgusting that not even animals partake in such an act.
- Sunday 09 JanuaryBy peg2584
Hey forney, you are soooo off the mark. Homesexuality is not a choice, it is how they are made. Not many people would willing make themselves the target of the hateful ways homophobes treat them. It is much better to understand that not everyone is the same and accept the differences in everyone.

@forneydevan........you need to take a giant step into the twenty first century, I just cannot believe that anyone can make such an ill informed and ignorant remark
- Sunday 09 JanuaryBy LilAngl44777
If one truly believes in God, and His word, then they would know that God ONLY created man, and woman. It clearly states in His word that homosexuality is sin! Plain and simple. If one really wants to change this lifestyle, they can, and it is a CHOICE! Just as murder, rape, adultery, stealing, fornication, etc. They are all choices. And it really doesn't matter whether one choose's to believe this or not because God's word isn't going to change based on whether or not we believe it!
And you said, " those who think that religion and therapy can change him and make or keep him straight are unfortunately not being realistic". Well, I don't know about therapy but I do know about religion, true religion. The one TRUE God of this universe is able to do exceeding, abundantly, above all that we ask or think, including changing a man or woman into the person He created them to be. There's nothing too hard for God. And I would hate for you to discover this fact on judgement day.

Going to church to learn morals these days is like going to prison to learn how to be a productive member of society!!!! What does your bible say about child molestation by priest? I guess if they all say they have changed then it's O.K!! They can do pretty much what ever they want and it's O.K cause they go to church... what a joke!!!

I'm in Colorado Springs and this non-hetero guy is just trying to get back to fleecing millions of dollars from people too ignorant to see that anything he says or does is a scam. He is lying about his sexual orientation and his followers are dumb enough to fall for it. I will never watch TLC, ever. If it's not bad enough that they have the Christofacist Palin on there then they go and waste an hour of our lives on Ted the liar.

Wow, what the hell is wrong with people... can't think for themselves!!! The bible was written by man and edited by the church... they left out quite a bit, like Jesus & Mary Magdeline were married for example! Selective reading people!
- Monday 10 JanuaryBy owenguts
I don't necessarily have a problem with Ted Haggard. I'm a forgiving person and I believe that everyone is entitled to numerous chances. My issue is that he's put all the blame on his sexuality that he's never really owned up to what really hurt other people and damaged his credibility, namely the lying and the abuse of church funds. Why does a Christian pastor need a 700K house? I don't care how many guys he's slept with or what drugs he's done because those aren't the issues; he lied about it repeatedly but he seems more focused on his sexuality then the real problem.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Seven weeks ago, the Orioles reported to spring training. After five weeks of exhibition games, it's time to play.
Manager Buck Showalter isn't worried that his team will have any trouble stepping up its intensity.
During spring training, players didn't play the whole game. Some left after three at-bats.
"In spring training, five innings was the equivalent of about 12 innings, so physically I think everyone is looking forward to playing in a little more normal baseball environment," Showalter said.
"This is what they do. They've done it since they were little boys. This is the end game. This is why we do all the things that we do."
Showalter spoke with the team after they concluded their Monday workout. He's more of a manager who chats than a speechmaker. After a relatively uneventful spring training, his conclusion is simple.
"This team is ready to play," Showalter said.

Akumal Things to Do
Snorkeling with the turtles
As far as I can tell, snorkeling to see the turtles in Akumal Bay is still free, we were approached immediately when we got out of the taxi by young men that were going to show us where the turtles were and then again by someone claiming that you were required to have a life vest to snorkel. As far as I know this is bunk, when said we were just...more
Yal-Ku Lagoon
Last visit December 2014Yal-Ku is a beautiful natural lagoon near Akumal, it reminds me a lot of Xel-ha when we visited it back in the late 1980s, before it became commercialized with a large admission fee and lots of people. You can swim all the way out to the sea but we saw the most fish right near where people were getting in and feeding the...more
Pablo Bush Romero Memorial Park
Pablo Bush Romero is the founder of Akumal. He was born in Mexico City and was an experienced adventurer and outdoors-man. The town was founded in 1958 primarily as a SCUBA diving base and community.This little park is between two beautiful home, common along this road overlooking Half Moon Bay. There is a path that leads to the sea where you can...more
Centro Ecologico Akumal
The Ecological Center in Akumal does a great job educating the public about conservation of the environment. Their focus is on Green and Loggerhead Sea Turtles that frequent the area.They offer a number of programs, some are extended stay volunteer programs (minimum 2 months). These programs are geared toward protecting nesting female sea turtle...more
Akumal Beach - Beautiful calm water!
The beach at Akumal is beautiful but more specifically, it is the water and lack of waves. Unlike other beaches around riviera maya, Akumal has a reef or barrier just off shore. You can see in the photos where the waves break. Because of this there are no waves near the beach however some vegetation does grow on the sandy bottom. But it is not much...more
Yal-Ku Lagoon
Yal-Ku is a narrow inlet through which fresh water traveling via underground rivers reaches the ocean. The lagoon has many small islands and areas where wildlife, flora, and fauna thrive. The primary activity at Yal-Ku is snorkelling. One of the things that makes the Yal-Ku park so unique and beautiful are all of the great statues they've added...more

Very convenient to the entrance of Akumal Beach. They have outdoor seating around a bar style counter. They do take some time to take your order and I ended up going around the bar to stick my head into the kitchen to place my order. Nice selection but I was in a rush and just ordered some chicken tacos.The food came out very fast. It also tasted...more
Best Coconut Shrimp!
This restaurant is not fancy, but it has fantastic fresh food, prepared at the time you order! The owners take pride in Tequilaville from the food to being the cleanest restaurant in Akumal!! It is in the village of Akumal not on the beach side. So you get the chance to meet some local mexicans! The variety of the menu is great, from homemade...more
Best in Akumal Centro
Turtle Bay is our favorite place to eat--breakfast, lunch and dinner-- in Akumal Centro. The burger is superior to Lol Ha in my professional opinion (restauranteur for 30-years), but there is no beach view. The owners and servers are extremely friendly and helpful. The smoothies are really great also! We've been visiting Akumal for 20 years and...more
Akumal Transportation
Local buses
When I was in Akumal, at the Akumal beach resort (little plug, this place is excellent, lot of europeans) I used the local buses. They are basically Econoline vans with AC. My girlfriend and I used these to get to Playa Del Carmen and back, it was very easy.
They travel between Tulum and Playa del Carman, and fill themselves up, you will share seat with a few otehr tourists, but mostly the locals (very friendly and helpful for us non spanish speaking Canadians). To catch one all you have to do is go out to the highway and stand there, and maybe give a little wave to the van.
They are very cheap at around 20 pesos (if i remeber correctly, this was in sept. 2004). At that rater they beat taxis (100 pesos to get to the some of the same areas)Related to:

Akumal Shopping
Best selection in town
This supermarket has the best selection in town. Compared to El Pueblito, this market has more option and even has fresh baked goods. They also have souvenirs and water sport items you mat need for the beach. Prices are in line with a market at a tourist location. Definitely cheaper than I expected.more
Good location with good amount of...
This is a nice little shop that has a good selection of food, snacks and toiletry needs. They also have some souvenirs and conveniently located. Prices are a little high but not bad as there is competition directly across the street.more

Akumal Local Customs
Be Environmentally Conscious
Akumal is very protective of its natural environment, a fact they stress often. They are especially concerned about the preservation of turtles and coral. Coral is extremely important to the ecosystem and it is extremely fragile. Here are some tips to keep in mind while in Akumal:
- Don't kick up sand with your diving fins, this suffocates coral.
- Wear a T-shirt instead of sun block when swimming--tan lotion kills coral.
- Don't touch, stand on, or kick the coral.
- Turtles are shy animals and increased tourist activity has reduced successful turtle nesting. Please go into the nesting areas only with a qualified guide.Related to:

Akumal Warnings and Dangers
Beware Dishonest salesman
There is a salesman named Jorge Penkoff working at Sireni's resort selling timeshare. He used to have a RE business in Playa del Carmen and is now being sued for fraud and theft as he stole $15,000 from a foreigner, and is also being evicted from his home for unpaid rent. Do not buy anything, give him money or listen to any of his lies. There are...more
Safety in the Riviera Maya coast.
Safety in the Riviera Maya coast. Many people have contacted us recently about safety concerns.

Robbery and threats
During 4 vacations to Akumal, members of our group were robbed three times. My teenage daughter and her friend were actually in front of our rented accomodations when someone climbed onto the balcony, entered through an unlocked door and stole cash ($750). Frighening. That same year, two expensive dive suits, left to dry on a porch, disappeared....more
Akumal Tourist Traps
Life Jackets ARE NOT mandatory
There are a number of people that travel with their own snorkel, mask and flippers. However, rarely do people travel with their own life jacket. I had my own equipment without life jacket and was told by someone claiming to be with the research facility and with the company that organizes tours to swim with the sea turtles that I could not use my equipment unless I had a life jacket. I would have to rent one from them. Of course they would not let me rent just the life jacket, it was a package deal costing 200 pesos!
After a few minutes I noticed many people snorkeling off the beach without life jackets. I proceeded to go with my equipment and no one stopped even though there was a local police officer overseeing the beach on an ATV.
Seems this is a scare tactic to boost sales. Although, a life jacket is preferred if you want to be safe and take photos.Related to:

Akumal What to Pack
Packing list for Akumal and riveria
Luggage and bags: -Cheapo beach bag
-Extra luggage for bring things back
-Money bag if you want to be careful (I used my pocket)
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: -Sandles! Make sure they have been worn, so you know you won't get blisters. Test them out in water before you go. I didn't and I paid for it.
-Very light breezy clothing.
-A shirt that you don't mind getting wet (for snorkling, it stops you from burning, and if you like me you'll be out there for a few hours)
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: -Any medications you need of course, not the best place to buy them.
-Painkiller (motrin ect.), allergie, Immdium (very valuable, I got pretty ill, lots of different bacteria from home), peptobismal, any personal hygine items you may reqire.
Photo Equipment: -Unless your serious, I would say the smaller the better, when your touring you wil be hot and won't want to carry a camera bag.
- Film, buy this at home, you can get better brands like fujifilm, and for a better price.
-Underwater camera, if yours cannot go underwater buy a few disposables, at least 2. There are tons or wonderful things under the sea, and you WILL want a picture of a sea turtle(or berricudas) to show the family!
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: -Sunglasses, bio degrable sunscreen( They don't let you use anything else in a lot of palces, you can buy it in mexico, but it's easyer to have it when you get there so you don't have to worrry), a good book for relaxing days.
Miscellaneous: A spanish elglish phrase book might help, I had one and never used it, since in such a resort like area they usually spoke enough english to get by.Related to:

Akumal Off The Beaten Path
Pablo Bush Romero Memorial Park
Don Pablo Bush Romero (1905 - 1998) was the head of the Mexican National Archaeology Department, a writer, photographer, big game hunter, lecturer, explorer, sportsman, Ford dealership owner, businessman, humanitarian, pioneer of Quintana Roo tourism, and the "Founder of Akumal". He created Mexico's CEDAM Club (Aquatic Exploration Archaeological Club of Mexico) with the ambition of "Serving their country and mankind in preserving those riches found in the coastal waters of Mexico". He wrote about the deeds of the club in his book, "Under the Waters of Mexico" (copies of this book are rumoured to be available in Akumal and it is supposed to be a great read). The club involved itself with identifying, raising, and preserving items from shipwrecks along the Mayan Coast--from Cancun to Tulum. Romero also wrote about the history of the explorers, the Spanish galleons, the native Mayans, and the pirates. The CEDAM Subaquatec Museum (locally called the "Shipwreck Museum") is located at the open mall in Puerto Aventuras.
The park itself is in the south rim of Half Moon Bay in north Akumal, beside Casa Luna. It is a small piece of land full of small (but growing) coconut palms.
Poor old Don Pablo, I don't know what exactly people are supposed to do in his memorial park--there aren't any benches, there's not enough clearing to play ball or frisbee, and you can't even access the beach because of a line of thick thorn bushes!Related to:

Akumal Sports & Outdoors
Snorkelling in Akumal Bay
Snorkelling off the beach at Akumal Bay is great. As well as the usual multi-coloured fish you can swim with turtles, rays and barracudas. Not that I really wanted to swim with the barracuda (about 4ft long) more like swim away from it! The visibility is usually pretty good, even when it is choppy, you just have to swim out from the beach a bit....more
the best for all levels....snorkel/scuba
The bay in Akumal is "right there" just steps from the hotel/condo. Great dive shop with equiptment for all types of undersea adventure. Even had something for the "snorkeling impared" like me...a kick board with a mask fixed into the board so you could float and see! People pay big bucks to sail down from Cancun to this bay to snorkel My husband...more
Don't Forget Insurance
If your current health insurance doesn't cover you while your abroad, you should consider getting international travel insurance just in case something should go wrong.
Akumal Favorites
First Timers Trip Report: Topes Are...
Favorite thing: We decided last November to go and see the Ruins at Coba and Tulum. Akumal seemed like a great spot to locate and the preparations were on. We decided on the middle of May (19-26) to avoid the crowds and beat the rainy season. (It was 89 with the occasional fluffy cloud in the sky every single day we were there!). I bought Frommers, Rough Guide and Lonely Planet Yucatan versions and read them religiously until I had worn out the pages pertaining to the areas I hoped to visit. I took an 8 week survival Spanish course. I read "A Forest of Kings". I bought mapchicks map and I spent hundreds of hours on the internet researching different areas and subjects. I spent another 100 hours reading everything I could find on the locogringo web site!
Driving in Mexico: Topes, La Policia and Pemex.
Topes are triangle shaped speed bumps. Go Slow! Even the crazies out there doing 150km in the 100km come to a stop at the Topes. We drove over 600 km and never banged a single Tope.
La Policia and la mordida? Saw very few policeman and the ones we did looked they were busy and going somewhere more important than hustling a tourist for 300 pesos. We always got the gas we paid for at the Pemex stations. No quick change / sleight of hand or short pumps experienced.
The Water, the food, la tourista.
We stayed at the Hotel Akumal Caribe. It was clean, neat, had cold air conditioning, a small refrigerator and a great view from the balcony. Our Maids had the sweetest "Holas" I'm certain I will ever hear. There was 5 gallons of fresh/drinkable water in your room and fresh flowers at all times. Everyone, everywhere drinks bottled water. It's cheap, usually very cold, comes in about 7 different size bottles, no problemo.
I haven't eaten Mexican since I've been back because I know I will be so disappointed. All of the food we ate was fantastic. Neither of us had any digestive distress at any time.
Fondest memory: Seeing the sights: Tulum, Coba and Muyil.
Anxious to get out into the jungle and see the Yucatan we set out for Coba. We were one of the first cars to arrive at Coba. Due to the large area and potentially confusing trails we got Mario at the gate ($45 US with a $10 US tip) to walk us around. When we got to Nohoch Mul there was nobody climbing the highest pyramid in the Yucatan. By the time I had climbed to the top there were probably 200 others going up, down or getting ready to make the ascent. The view from the top is worth the effort. I just wish there wasn't so much trash left on top. Empty water bottles? Come on folks, show a little respect.
We left Coba by noon and headed to Tulum for some lunch. We shopped a little in Tulum for t-shirts and jewelry. My limited Spanish came in handy as I was good with the numbers and did a little bartering when we purchased several items from one store. Don't worry if you don't understand the Spanish, the shop keepers will put the number on a calculator for you to decide if they are charging too much.
Muyil is 25 kilometers past Tulum headed south on 307. Muyil is small but the Castillo there is a marvel of architecture. I think it cost maybe $15 US for us both to get in and wander around. We were the only people there the entire time.
Everyone says to go to Tulum early and beat the crowds. We were parking in the lot by 8:05 am. Being there that early allowed us to get the pictures we had gone to take. We did not employ a guide here as the park is easy to navigate. By the time we left an hour later there were probably a thousand people in the park.
Summary: The vacation was superb. The food and weather were fantastic and the people were so friendly and helpful. Our intention was to come and go quietly, enjoy the beauty and laid back pace of life while sampling the food and culture. We were very successful. We hope to go back one day and find Akumal completely unchanged.Related to:

Best Blues Club St. Louis 2005 - BB's Jazz, Blues & Soups
700 S. Broadway
St. Louis, MO 63102
There's nothing worse than the sinking feeling that accompanies a letdown of a much-hyped experience. It's a slowly deflating helium balloon. (Your prom night, for example.) Conversely, there's nothing better than a night that's a sure bet. BB's is exactly what a blues club should be: kind of hard to find, long, brick and teeming with enough talent that you don't even have to check who's playing before you go. It's close enough to Busch Stadium to beckon Cards fans during the summer, but go on some freezing winter weeknight to see BB's truly earn its title. Settle in with a Cajun chicken sandwich (with extra jerk-chlli mayo), a bowl of gumbo and a drink. You'll know it's the right night when the people in the band nearly outnumber those in attendance but all present are enveloped in a blanket of fond, rapt attention, comforted by the bluesy sound of a winter's night made warm again.

2010 J. Lohr Cuvée POM
The inspiration for J. Lohr Cuvée POM comes from the Grand Cru wines of Pomerol in the Right Bank of Bordeaux. These legendary wines are composed primarily of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with sparse additions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Winemaking is given the freedom to emulate these great wines without the restrictions of varietal percentages, instead keenly focusing on the texture and complexity of the blend that nature delivers with each vintage.
2010 was the coolest vintage Paso Robles has seen in a decade. With heavy winter rainfall nearly 50% above normal, and growing degree days lagging, we had concerns that this vintage may not get completely ripe. This cool seasonal trend provided an ideal challenge for our progressive approach to irrigation that imposed a 2 month "drydown" in the summer of 2010, which drove tannin maturity and eliminated vegetal aromas in this Bordeaux-style blend. Our best Merlot block is planted to Italian clones 9 and 10, and was allowed to reach a luxury level of ripeness prior to harvest on the 19th of October. Cuvée POM is the most brightly aromatic wine in the Cuvée Series. The 2010 delivers intense red fruit fragrance, refreshing acidity and a restrained tannin structure.

The 2010 Cuvée POM is intensely aromatic and shows bright red hues. Red fruit aromas of plum are spiced by a bouquet of camphor, cocoa and dark caramel. The restrained palate weight, bright acidity and luxury-soft mouthfeel make this wine a chef's favorite.
-Steve Peck, Red Winemaker
Great with a Spanish Paella (don't forget the saffron and langoustines!).
Merlot-based red blend with bright acidity and a luxury-soft mouthfeel.

Evaluation sought before commitment
The Vance County school board is considering major renovations and a new middle school building, but some board members want to see a comprehensive, long-range evaluation done first.
At Thursday's building and grounds committee meeting, the members voted to present the full school board with a request to complete a long-range facilities survey by an outside consultant at the next full board meeting in December.
Earlier this month, the board approved the superintendent's request to complete a new school application for the science, technology, engineering and math middle school. The Early High School STEM program is currently housed in Northern Vance High School.
Superintendent Ronald Gregory said the two story Eaton-Johnson Middle School would be a suitable location for the STEM program, but the building needs some renovations before it can serve as the new middle school.
"We are sitting on a gold mine," Gregory said of the building. "We all know that smaller learning communities are the way to attack graduation rates."
County commissioners have previously been reluctant to funding the idea.
Claiborne Woods, director of facilities, said the most recent professional comprehensive survey was done in 1995.
A long-range facilities evaluation would help the board prioritize funding for renovations to the building, as well as other construction projects that will be budgeted into capital outlay funds.
A permanent fix to the heating system at Western Vance High School is another renovation project that will be included in a future capital outlay budget.
Woods and his staff recently repaired leaks on about 200-300 feet of pipe, which are 93 years old, at Western Vance. The school has served as an alternative high school for at-risk students the past 10 years, graduating 487 students.
The building and grounds committee agreed to use portable heating units at a cost of $10,858 per month, as a contingency plan in case the heating system fails this winter.
Woods said the heating system has not required any further repairs since it was turned on this year.
Since the Department of Public Instruction no longer conducts long-range surveys of local school systems, the school board would use its staff or hire a private consultant.
Woods said his staff would be stretched too thin if they were tasked with completing a comprehensive facility survey. He said they would likely hire an outside firm, but he could not estimate how much it would cost.

About the name of that class: linear video editing is the process of selecting, arranging, and modifying images and sound in a predetermined, ordered sequence. Once a shot is on tape, nothing can be placed ahead of it without overwriting whatever is there already. If absolutely necessary, material can be dubbed by copying the edited content onto another tape but that causes a loss in generation which degrades the image and ultimately looks bad and could affect your grade. Even though the class name says otherwise, most of what we did in RTF 335 was produced in a linear fashion.
Non-linear editing arrived at KSHU around 1997 or so. This editing style allows the user to access any frame and perform cut-and-paste type editing similar to how one would use a word processor. There are also a range of fades, transitions, and other effects that can be used though let us not forget Mr. Roe: wipes are cheese. (Wait, that was RTF 163. Never mind.)
Enough of the lecture. At some point late in the spring 1998 semester – after scanning Alcaldes from archives over at Peabody and having raided the Thomason Room – I took a diskette of photographs into the new non-linear editing suite and tried my hand at creating something. It was supposed to promote the original Beacon of Education: the Building of Sam Houston State University project but that program never got any further than...well, this promo. It was my first non-linear project and not a very good one: a lot of the photographs were taken from the SHSU website (hence the grainy resolution) and there's no sound.
If anything it's an interesting look into the archives. Maybe. Enjoy.

The atmosphere is good, but the space for socializing and interacting with other guests is small. The place is very clean, but the rooms can have a bad smell if you don't keep the room window opened during the day. I had no problem with internal or external noise, never had to wait more than 10 minutes to take a shower, rooms have a/c for hot days. Overall: Very good "

Free Enterprise Motivational Quotes
Owning: 5WPR, a leading US PR Agency which I started alone less than 10 years ago it has been constant hard work.: Nothing comes easy — and having President Obama it seems even harder to succeed, as this administration seems to embrace a class-warfare philosophy.
For many like myself who need some motivation some inspirational quotes on free enterprise:
- "Free enterprise runs on self interest. This is socialism and it runs on loyalty . . . if people were going to live by comparison shopping, the town would go bust . . . If you live there you have to take it as a whole. That's loyalty." Garrison Keillor,: Lake: Wobegon: Days
- : "A free-enterprise economy depends only on markets, and according to the most advanced mathematical macroeconomic theory, markets depend only on mood" Barbara Ehrenreich
- "Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon." Winston Churchill
- "The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries." Winston Churchill
- "Americans chose a free enterprise system designed to provide a quality of opportunity, not compel a quality of results. And that is why this is only place in the world where you can open up a business in the spare bedroom of your home." Marco Rubio
- "A great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another." Milton Friedman
- "In general, the art of government consists in taking as much money as possible from one party of the citizens to give to the other." Voltaire
- "If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free." P.J. O'Rourke (1993)
- "Every man has a property in his own person. This nobody has any right to but himself. The labor of his body and the work of his hands are properly his." John Locke, 1690
- "It's no accident that capitalism has brought with it progress, not merely in production but also in knowledge. Egoism and competition are, alas, stronger forces than public spirit and sense of duty." Albert Einstein
- "Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first." Mark Twain

By David Climer, The Tennessean
Looks like the SEC is getting into the TV business after all.
Four years after striking its landmark deal with ESPN, there are indications the SEC will launch its own network in time for the 2014 football season.
It was just a matter of time. The Big Ten and Pac-12 already have taken the plunge, albeit with some difficult first steps in terms of logistics and distribution. The SEC Network figures to learn from their mistakes.
The proposed TV venture figures to be a major topic during the SEC Spring Meeting next week in Destin, Fla. But it is just one of several big-ticket items up for discussion, jockeying for position with various college football playoff formats and a start-up bowl game between the SEC and Big 12, among other matters.
Business is booming. It makes you wonder who's running the SEC, Mike Slive or Gordon Gekko. With these and other deals in the works, the conference's new menu is right out of Wall Street -- "Greed is good."
That point will be brought home when the SEC announces its distribution of wealth. Last year, the conference divided $220 million among 12 members. That number is expected to increase for the 24th consecutive year.
With that as background, it's not surprising that talk of the SEC Network has heated up as the conference nears its first football season as a 14-team league. The addition of Texas A&M and Missouri has broadened the SEC's geographic footprint, bringing with it a dramatic population increase of potential fans and the profits that follow.
Getting toeholds in Texas and Missouri pushes the total population in the SEC's 11-state footprint to 91 million, according to the latest census figures. Compare this to the Big Ten (69.5 million) and the Pac-12 (62.8 million).
That means if Slive, who is in his 11th year as commissioner, can strike an agreement that would put the SEC Network into every cable and satellite subscriber's house, it should eclipse the revenue of the Big Ten and Pac-12 TV deals.
Maybe that's why the power brokers in the SEC are feeling frisky enough to align with the Big 12 to stage a new bowl game. They're putting together the Champions Bowl, to be played at a yet-to-be-determined site after the 2014 season.
In doing so, the two conferences thumbed their noses at convention. Normally, a sponsor or a city will come up with the concept of a bowl and then go through the customary channels and attempt to arrange an agreement with one or more conferences.
This time, two conferences arranged a bowl and will peddle it to a city and a sponsor. I suspect they'll get more than a few nibbles.
This is more about politics than pigskins. SEC officials know that the Big Ten and Pac-12 are aligned and could serve as a formidable voting bloc as decisions are made on a playoff format. With that in mind, the SEC needs a like-minded conference to protect its interests. Enter the Big 12.
While much of the nation struggles in the aftermath of the recession, the SEC is open for business.
And business is good.

David "Deacon" Jones, one of the giants of the NFL in the 1960's, has died at the age of 74 from natural causes. The Hall of Fame defensive end is credited with coining the term "sack" for how he knocked down quarterbacks. His death was reported by the Washington Redskins, the last team he played for.
Jones was the leader of the defensive line for the Los Angeles Rams between 1961-71. That group was better known as the Fearsome Foursome. He then played for San Diego for two seasons before finishing his career with the Redskins in 1974. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980 and made the league's 75th anniversary all-time squad.
Jones made the Pro Bowl every year from 1964-70 and played in eight overall. He combined with fellow Hall of Famer Merlin Olsen, Rosey Grier and Lamar Lundy on a defensive line in L.A. that was at times was unblockable. Olsen died in March 2010 at age 69 and Lundy died in February 2007 at 71. Grier, who is 80, is the only surviving member of the Fearsome Foursome.

Hollywood studios have been unable to take tens of millions of dollars out of Argentina for roughly two years, a victim of the country's ongoing financial crisis, Variety has learned.
It's an issue that plagues all U.S. companies, but is particularly problematic to the entertainment business as it has struck one of the biggest markets for film in Latin America.
Studios have continued to release pictures in Argentina, because is is considered a "tastemaker" country, one that positions a film for a profitable run in other parts of the region. "Transformers: Age of Extinction" did $5.4 million worth of business and "X-Men: Days of Future Past" pulled in $4.8 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com. The impact has also been felt on the television front.
The difficulty is related to the country's devalued currency, according to five executives at various media and exhibition companies. The Argentine government does not want to exchange pesos for dollars, because it would have to acknowledge that the official rate is far higher than the actual value of its money.
The devaluation has been sparked by dwindling foreign cash reserves and crippling inflation. In response, the country has mandated that money made by U.S. companies has to be recirculated in Argentina. That has forced U.S. studios to use various financial vehicles in an effort to extract their profits. Others have dealt with the hard currency issues by redeploying pesos to support their local television and film productions and distribution activities.
All of the studios and theater chains have continued to pay third party vendors that service them in the country, such as Imax. A spokesman for the Motion Picture Association of America said the lobbying agency is aware of problems facing foreign companies doing business in Argentina, including U.S. movie studios, but declined to comment further.
Argentina defaulted on its debt this week for the second time in 13 years.

Thanks Chacha! Love the idea that we're from the sea. Mother's Day wishes right back attcha!
LOL Broadway BIll!
I agree - we forget that retails clerks have families too and that in order to make Black Friday work they have to miss being with their loved ones.
I couldn't agree more! Don't let war games into my home. Isn't it ironic how we teach kids in school how to manage conflict through words, through turning the other cheek, through peaceful means but we then allow them to play games that promote violence and an eye for an eye resolution to conflict? These poor little ones are getting such mixed messages....
It is! Take the kiddies!!!
Thanks asiseeit. I think that's one of the key things I'm learning about parenting is that they may not get it right then and there, but what we say does register and resonate to be useful at a later time. Appreciate the feedback...:)
GO Cindy's daughter!! It starts young. When Chaz was her age he sold a bag of my apples around the neighborhood for cash. Next year he started making jewelry, he's made bracelets to sell at school and even sells stuff of his from camp (hmmm, now I know where all his sneakers have gone to) to help support his "love to make cash" habit. He tells me that when he makes a lot of money he's going to build me a recording studio - love it that he likes to share as well....:)
Great article Cindy! One of the ways I'm trying to also help my kids is suggest they not listen to all the mass hysteria and instead focus on what they want. Let's all see this storm passing us by and moving out towards the ocean instead of the populated lands. It's very easy to get caught up in "hysteria" but I think these type of situations also call for our role modeling that we also have the power to move mountains - or hurricanes...miracles happen through our belief in them....:)
Dear creufest, thanks for your comment. I, however, truly believe that our kids are our canaries in a coalmine. Is their lack of well-being and high stress levels are perhaps a sign that it's not about more but perhaps about less? Maybe getting back to simpler values and lifestyles instead of worrying about global competition? Our kids are stressed out. Stressed out people aren't productive, and eventually crash. Also, what's wrong with being #2? Someone's got to!!! I'd rather be happy and number 2, then unhappy and number 1!
I hear you on that!!! Thanks so much for sharing....:)
Patti, I hear your frustration and concern about food allergies. However, there are treatments for food allergies and there are cures. Check out alternative treatments. Call Susan Richter at Next Level Healing 973/586-0626, read Andrea's Moritz's book THE GREAT LIVER AND GALLBLADDER CLEANSE. Search the web for information from naturopathic doctors such as homeopaths and herbalists. Check out EFT at www.emofree.com.
Thanks Joan. I have to admit, sometimes I have the patience of a saint, other times, I just can't take it anymore and feel like I"m going to explode or just feel so stuck and unable to help changes happen fast enough that it brings me to tears. I'm sure Chaz feels the same way....:). It's how Chaz and I are learning to experience all the ups and downs that is becoming very rewarding. Whereas a couple of months ago I didn't see any light at the end of the tunnel, I am now feeling more confident and excited about opportunities showing up for us.
Love the recommendations! However, as the kids get older it's tougher and tougher to help them follow a healthy dental hygiene. Especially with teenagers where opposition runs rampant. And even when they get cavities, it doesn't seem to phase their desire to take care of themselves. I guess it's only when you become a grown-up and have to spend hours and thousands of dollars on your teeth instead of writing for your blog that dental hygiene finally becomes important...
That's why I use the parental control on tv and make sure I'm around if my pre-teen is watching. GO JOAN!!! And it's not just tv - it's computers, itouches, iphones, and every other contraption that allows internet. Thankfully, there's also parental controls on these! And you can block media on the kids' phones as well by calling into your phone service and requesting the block. We may not be able to control what is put on tv, but we can take some steps to prevent it getting into our homes and our kids' brains....
I wonder how Andy's doing at college.....maybe that's Toy Story 4.....:)
It's those intimate connections that make life worth living. Love and light to John, his family and you and your family as you gracefully move through this transition. May you feel Elsie every time you run and feel the soft wind caressing your face...:)
I learned my lesson though with my younger son. We put his computer in our family room and I do my best to keep the techno-stuff out of his room. Seems to be working much better. At least I've got an eye on him and he's not "isolated." Thanks for the comment....:)

What is your career goal?
I am interested in research and medicine. I know the research skills and experience I have obtained at BW will make me a competitive applicant for a dual M.D./Ph.D. program.
In your first two years, what BW research experiences have you had?
I worked in three labs: neuroscience, biochemistry and animal learning. In the neuroscience lab I am first author on a project and will presenting research at the Society for Neuroscience conference. In the biochemistry lab I am working to develop and standardize a set of protocols needed to optimize the yield of a particular protein. I also completed a faculty-student collaboration project with Dr. Brian Thomas in the animal learning lab. Further, I recently presented cognitive psychology research on rational and moral decision-making as part of my work with BW's Cognitive Research Group.
In what ways has your academic advisor helped you?
Dr. Diana Barko is my academic advisor. She helped me organize my grad plan so I could complete the ACS Chemistry degree in addition to my neuroscience major. She provides me with information on external internship prospects, MCAT preparation and campus research opportunities.
How does the Honors Program support academic initiatives?
The program is an excellent opportunity for a student to excel in academia, service or any endeavor. Due to the support of the Honors Program, I was able to attend the largest international neuroscience conference in the world and meet some of the world's leading researchers.
What Honor Program experience made an impact on you?
I worked with representatives of the Lake Erie Native American Council (LENAC) for an Honors Program class project. Working with LENAC taught me a lot about the history of the Native peoples of the Ohio region and their past and present struggles.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Outriders (1950) ... Joel McCrea ... Roy Rowland (Director) (2011)",
J. Lovins "Mr. Jim" (Missouri-USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Outriders [Import] (DVD)
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) presents "THE OUTRIDERS" (1950) (93 min/Color) -- Starring Joel McCrea, Arlene Dahl, Barry Sullivan, Claude Jarman Jr., James Whitmore & Ramon Novarro
Directed by Roy Rowland
Will Owens (Joel McCrea) is one of three Confederate soldiers who escape from a northern prison compound. The three men join a wagon train, hoping to capture a Yankee gold shipment to help their cause. When the wagoners are attacked by Indians, Owens decides to reassess his priorities and protect the passengers, including the fetching Jen Gort (Arlene Dahl).
Watch as this film is stolen by silent screen legend Ramon Novarro in one of his more substantial later roles. He essays his character perfectly, giving it much more depth than was in the screenplay. He also lends the part style, grace, dignity and humor
This is most definitely a western as a model of the highest qualities that were present in the 50's and were lost after the 60's it would be "The Outriders". It is not one of the greatest, but as far as entertainment is concerned, it sure delivers.
Special footnote: -- The film never had a more honorable or stalwart hero than Joel McCrea. And if you've seen any of his films, fans will know that whatever he does it will be the honorable thing. It's a tribute to McCrea that if he insisted on always being the stalwart hero, he had the talent and personality to carry it off. This is who he was and it will always remain with us - his fans!

My high rating is for quality vs. price. So cheap in comparison to more expensive similar products.
Lasts all day on the waterline with my semi-oily skin, and doesn't flake or smear. It does fade "slightly" on flight days, but those are 16 hour days. There is also slight fading on funeral days, which is amazing considering I'm a crier... I just dab my eyes with kleenex instead of rubbing them (or I let the tears simply fall) and the liner stays put.
Don't worry about a bunch of glitter bits in your eyes. There's almost no glitter in all 3 of these colors. I don't even notice it.
I use the Quo Professional angled eyeliner brush (which I love!), so I have no comments on the included brush.
I bought the brown eyes combo and thought I'd only ever use the black one (I'm extremely conservative with colour), but I've actually used them all. Both the purple & brown are fairly dark too, so there's no crazy purple popping colour - and it's kind of fun when I'm wearing purple/pink clothing.

I'm giving this an overall rating of 4 because the color selection, formula and staying power are good. Unfortunately I believe I'm allergic to these liners. My eyes became red, irritated and goopy while my eyelids started peeling while wearing this product. At first I contributed the peeling to the retinoids I've been using for yrs without any trouble and the redness/irritation to seasonal allergies. When these symptoms first appeared, I stopped wearing any eye makeup for a few days. When I started wearing makeup again, I decided to wear Physician's Formula's liquid liner just because I wanted to try it. I went many weeks without any eye problems until two days ago when I decided to to line my eyes with this liner again. Sure enough, all the symptoms returned. It's a shame because I really liked this product.

My mom bought me a pack, for green eyes, as a stocking stuffer for christmas. I absolutly adore this stuff! It glides on like butter, and stays until I wash my face- sometimes if i get lazy and dont wash off my eye makeup before bed ill wake up and its still there! However I only use the black, im not sure how to wear the other colors (purple and green) for some reason I look stupid when wearing colored eyeshadow/eyeliner lol. Personally, its worth it to buy the pack of three for just the one black! I wish they made a seperate container for it! And I love the little stack of 3, its so cute! This stuff is awesome, and it lasts a loooooong time!

I received the pack for brown eyes from my friend! Been hearing things about this eyeliner but never tried it til now coz of the price, I guess it's just a bit costly for a drugstore brand.
BUT, this is the best gel liner I've used, sorry maybelline! It's very long lasting, I wore it for like...12 hrs yesterday and it didn't smudge nor did the colour fade! Didn't have to do touch ups for it at all! And forgot to mention that this was without the use of primer!!! How awesome is that?
The only thing I dislike about this liner is that it comes in a pack of 3...so if you run out one colour..you'll need to get all 3 of them..which can be a waste..I LOVE the brown and the black..haven't tried the purple but it seems to purple-ish to me!:/

The black color works amazingly well (I have two, one from Glam blue eyes set and one from Glam brown eyes set) but the other colors are not that amazing. The blue from the blue eyes trio is especially disappointing (crumbly and underpigmented), the gold and silver are ok but I mostly use them for highlighting the inner corner of the eye, they don't really create a sharp line by themselves and the brown is pretty average. I would definitely repurchase because the black color is just as good as the Maybelline and Essence gel eyeliners but if you are buying it for the different colors you might be disappointed.

BEST CREAM/GEL eye liner ever! its the creamiest liner I have ever used. I bought the one for brown eyes and it comes in black, brown, and purple. I use the black and brown the most. I use the black one when want a dramatic look because the black one is high in pigmentation so its really black. I used the brown one when I want to have a natural look. And I use the purple one for a pop of colour. It stays on my lids in till I take it off. Unlike my other cream/gel liners this one never smudges on me. Its a little bit pricey but it works great and lasts a long time so its worth it. So If your looking for a good drug store cream/gel eye liner go for this one! Will buy this again but I am sure I don't have too because I have been using this for a year everyday but I still haven't made a dent in it!

I'm only speaking from the sensitive, dry eye point of view - HG gel liner that I can use on waterline with ZERO irritation...that's HUGE for me considering my eyes tear (when they can - dry eye is so annoying sometimes) when I apply any other brand on my waterline...just attended a wedding and looked stunning all night thanks to this lasting from 5:30p - 3:30a on a humid NYC evening...sorry to those with poor experiences but again, this is SAFE and non irritating on the waterline - I'm in love

These work pretty well. You just have to have practice. They last awhile. Only thing I didn't like was the actual colors. They just didn't pop enough for me when they were on. I only bought one set though, so maybe I should try a different one?

Like all PF, the packaging looks cheap. But this is an exceptional long-wearing liner. I even apply to my waterline with a brush and it lasts longer than any other liner ive tried on my waterline, and doesnt irritate my eyes like MAC Fluidline does. I love all PF eyeliners for the reasons mentioned.

SLI - SFR troubles
Hello All,
I am just wondering if anyone is in the same boat as myself. I can provide more information if needed, but given what I've tried so far and the fact that I'm experiencing the same behavior on multiple distros with different hardware, I suspect that maybe no one is attempting to do what I'm doing.
So I decided to give SLI a try, being a die-hard Linux and OpenSuSE user. I started with two GeForce 440s. I noticed that both Auto and AFR produced a terrible frame rate. I was almost better off with a single card with either of those selected. My desktop was kind of stuttering as well... if I switched from one desktop to another, there was a lag present that was not present with a single card. This is back when I was running OpenSuSE 11.4.
However, one day, I discovered that if I set SLI to SFR, WOW! I nearly doubled my frame rate from a single graphics card in every game, including games in WINE. However, this introduced a very annoying catch. Every once in a while, my desktop will seem to forget to render part of the bottom frame. This happens almost exclusively while I am in the desktop, and never happens when I am actively playing a game. What will happen is this, my bottom panel will disappear as well as whatever part of the window is on the bottom half of the screen, however my wallpaper will remain there, and will be drawn over whatever part of the window and panel is missing. If I open a new window, or move any windows around, everything is immediately restored, but this happens fairly frequently and is VERY annoying.
I've tried everything I can think of, down to buying a newer and more powerful power supply (1200 watts now), swapping cards, trying new video cards (I am now using two 580s with the same results), upgrading distros (I am running OpenSuSE 12.2 now with the same results), etc. I've tried different drivers from the 175 series, 195, and now 304.51. All drivers exhibit the same behavior, however 304.51 runs AFR decently now... though not as good as SFR.
Is anyone out there using SFR on their Linux desktop? If so, have you ever experienced this annoying issue???

The service increase follows the Competition Commission of Singapore's approval for the joint venture between SIA and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). The joint venture agreement involves the co-ordination of flight schedules and joint sales activities.
Star Alliance partner SAS will place its code on the Singapore-Copenhagen flights.
SIA has placed its code on SAS-operated flights beyond Copenhagen to Helsinki, Oslo and Stockholm, while SAS has been codesharing on SIA-operated services between Copenhagen and Singapore as well as on selected flights between Singapore and Bangkok.
The carriers are currently in talks for the expansion of their codeshare agreement. In addition, depending on the market conditions, a new route between Singapore and Scandinavia will also be explored.
"We are very pleased to announce an increase in frequency to Copenhagen now that regulatory approvals have been obtained for our wide-ranging partnership with SAS. We look forward to further building on our ties with SAS to provide more travel choices for our customers," says Mak Swee Wah, SIA's executive vice-president commercial.
Innovata Schedules show that the airline will be the sole operator on the route.

Very cute! I like the look.
By traci on 2005 11 15
i LOVE it! I love it, i love it, i love it!
(song now stuck in my head)—and I'm STILL loving it!
This is the story of a girl,
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world!
And while she looked so sad in photographs,
I absolutely love her,
When she smiles…
By Little Miss on 2005 11 15
That's TOTALLY what I thought of. It was stuck in my head and thus the tagline was born.

Adding Yogurt to Your Dog Foodby Leslie Darling
The same nutritious qualities that make yogurt a healthy snack for people also make it a good choice for Fido. Plus, your pooch will think he's gettin a special treat when you feed him people food! Just make sure to add the right type of yogurt.
Live Bacteria
When choosing yogurt, pick one that has live active bacteria. The active bacteria act as probiotics, which are healthy bacteria that aid in digestion and improve immune system function. If your dog is taking antibiotics, which kill both good and bad bacteria, feed him the yogurt at least four hours after he takes his medicine.
Yogurt can also help to ward off excessive yeast, which can lead to ear infections and skin problems. Choose yogurt that has no sugar or artificial sweeteners or flavors, because yeast feeds off sugar. If your tail-wagger is a bit chubby, also go with yogurt that is fat-free yogurt and doesn't contain fat substitutes.
Yogurt provides your pooch with extra calcium for strong bones and colon health, potassium and magnesium. Yogurt also provides easy-to-digest protein and healthy carbohydrates and fats and improves the absorption of vitamin B12 -- all things that he needs for energy to chase balls and jump for Frisbees.
How Much to Feed?
Depending on weight, one or two tablespoons atop his regular dog food is all you need to feed your dog to provide him wih the benefits of yogurt. If he's on antibiotics, you might want to adjust up, or if Fido is a particularly flatulent breed, such as boxers and bulldogs, more might be beneficial for his digestion. Consult with your vet before making any changes to your pooch's diet.
