Mr. Online Returns To Gulfstream With Victory in $100,000 El Prado
Mr. Online Returns To Gulfstream With Victory in $100,000 El Prado
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL– Mr. Online made a triumphant return to Gulfstream Park with a front-running victory in the $100,000 El Prado Stakes on Saturday afternoon. Claimed twice last winter, including a $30,000 snag by owner Tim O'Donohue and trainer Michael Pino in March, the 4-year-old gelding took advantage of his inside post to secure an uncontested lead through a :50.24 half-mile.
Jockey Kendrick Carmouche let out a notch on the far turn and Mr. Online ($5.30) opened up enough of a cushion to hold off 8-5 favorite Salto in the closing strides. The final time over the yielding course was 1:39.60. Utley drew in off of the also-eligible list to complete the trifecta.
"It worked out great," Pino said via telephone. "I was worried about the horse that was getting blinkers [Hobbs], that he might pressure us a little bit, but then they were interviewing the trainer and it turns out they wanted to let their horse relax earlier, so that gave me a little more confidence. He had the rail and could get right on out of there. I didn't want anyone to go head-to-head with him."
Bred in Ontario, Mr. Online rose through the ranks during his tenure under Pino and had shown career-best form in turf sprints. The son of Silent Name was narrowly beaten by veteran Ben's Cat in the Laurel Dash on September 21 and was also second in the Nearctic Stakes (G1) at Woodbine on October 13. He returned to Laurel to win a 5 ½-furlong test under optional claiming conditions at Laurel on November 23 before making his way back to Gulfstream. Mr. Online was unplaced in three Florida outings last winter, but things look to be different this time. He went postward as the second choice in the wagering for the El Prado.
"It was a nice claim," O'Donohue remarked. "It's ironic that we stretched him back out because he had really done his best running going one turn in sprints. We couldn't really find a spot for him; we were thinking of shipping to the Fair Grounds last week for the Bonapaw. But I didn't want to do that to the horse, ship him 15 hours there and back.
"I spoke to Michael about this race and said he's going to show speed coming out of those sprints," O'Donohue continued. "We didn't expect yielding turf—we'd been hoping for nice, firm ground, but everything worked out for the best. We know he can get a mile, so it gives us more options."
Defending titlist Nikki's Sandcastle was scratched due to the surface. Also taken out were Coalport, Lea, Majestic Express and Riding the River.

Movie Review: Haywire
In spite of a tumultuous time during development, the latest Stephen Soderbergh spy thriller "Haywire," starring former "face of women's MMA" Gina Carano, is slated for a national theatrical release later this month. By Soderbergh's own admission, Haywire was written as a means to get Carano on to the silver screen. The cinematic bar for star vehicle action movies like the ones that first introduced audiences to Jean-Claude Van Damme and Stephen Seagal is set incredibly low. And, for what it's worth, Haywire gracefully leaps over it. There are even a few scenes in the movie that are unarguably great. But, Haywire also sports too much random silliness to call it a genuinely good movie.
The film opens at a diner, where Carano's character, soldier of fortune Mallory Kane, is met by a former accomplice played by Channing Tatum. This scene was made available via Hulu as a teaser for the film and can be seen below:
As an action sequence, this opening is cinematic gold. It contains so much that is missing from contemporary fight scenes that it should be taught in film class. There's a developing sense of tension and insight into the characters with a minimal amount of dialogue. The tempo goes from suspense building to violence so abruptly that it could startle even the most jaded viewer. The use of sustained shots with a few choice cuts adds to the feeling of chaos while still letting the audience see everything that is going on. Even the volume level on the gun firing is perfect for the effect it was meant to have.
The problem is, in watching this scene on Hulu, the world has already seen the best part of the movie. "Haywire" never repeats this level of greatness. Only one other scene comes close to being as good and most of them are much, much worse.
The remainder of the first and second act is told in flashback as Carano briefs the bystander she fled with. After a mission in Barcelona, which was shown through a montage so dense that it is impossible to know or care exactly what happened, Carano is given a new assignment by her boss, Kenneth, played by Ewan McGregor. In it, Carano is paired up with another soldier of fortune played by Michael Fassbender to pose as a couple and procure or question a person who may be a government asset of some kind. The film never clearly explains who anyone is or what exactly they do.
Regardless of why anything is happening, and the audience will certainly never know, the whole assignment starts to smell fishy, culminating in Fassbender trying to kill Carano, and Carano being left to spend the rest of the movie figuring out why. This basic premise appears in the majority of spy movies, including three out of the four Mission Impossible films.
The confrontation between Carano and Fassbender is the other saving grace scene in the film. It's just as well shot as the opening fight scene but has enough differing elements that the movie doesn't feel like its repeating itself. The Fassbender fight may be another one for the film schools, as it visually blends sexuality and violence in ways that will give some feminist film critics a doctoral thesis and others an aneurism. But, no matter what the fight sequence may say about the society that spawned it, the fact remains that it is both powerful and unique.
It would be cynical to call the random series of events that follows the premise a "plot." Characters are thrown in and out at random and nothing is ever completely explained, which is ironic in a movie where the protagonist's motivation is to piece together what is happening. It gets to the point where Mallory dryly remarking that she "doesn't like loose ends" feels like the script making fun of anyone trying to understand the movie.
The whole second act of the film, making up about 25% of "Haywire's" total run time, is one long scene where Carano evades a SWAT team. Literally nothing else happens, which is difficult to break down, critically. On one hand, it totally ruins the pacing of the film, makes talking about this chase scene both necessary and a spoiler because its the longest single part of the movie, and caused an entire row at the press screening to crack up laughing because no one had any idea why that chase just happened.
On the other hand, it's a really cool chase scene. The use of interchanging close-ups and wide shots along with deliberate movements by extras in the background makes the scene feel just as intense and paranoid as evading a SWAT team should be. The majority of the chase involves building that tension of getting caught while a kind of 70's funk track plays in the background, giving it a loveable Metal Gear feel. It's all very good until the chase is over and it becomes apparent that there was no plot reason to have it in the first place.
The biggest question going in to "Haywire" is how the former fighter Carano would hold up as an actress. Her performance as Mallory Kane is reminiscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger's performance as Conan. The character is the strong, silent type who is always thinking and just a little out of place interacting with others. A neophyte actor carried over from another field can fit into that role very naturally.
While Mallory Kane is nowhere near as memorable as Schwarzenegger's Conan, the formula still works. The only problem is that Carano sells the distant misanthrope image a little too well. The very few times in the movie where she is supposed to show some kind of emotional connection with another character come off somewhere between forced and funny.
The real problem with Haywire is that it can't make up its mind. The film presents itself as a "who done it" intrigue plot, but everything is so disjoint and poorly explained that, by the time it's all supposed to come together, it's hard to remember who anyone is or why Antonio Banderas has a Castro beard.
The script also has several cues to the audience not to take the plot too seriously and just try to enjoy the visual spectacle. Characters openly joke about not being able to remember who everyone is or follow the events taking place partly as the movie's way of telling the audience to relax. But then "Haywire" will turn around and have some kind of dramatic scene that it expects to be taken seriously.
The two fight scenes with Tatum and Fassbender are more than worth the price of admission and a credit to all those involved in the movie. But those two scenes can be found in the trailers and teasers currently available to the public. So, for all but the hard core fight scene fans, "Haywire" can probably wait until the DVD release.

- Q. How much does the Clinic charge?
- A. There is no hourly or flat fee for Clinic services. However, clients are responsible for all filing fees, court costs, and out of pocket expenses such as mailing costs and expenses related to serving legal papers on other parties.
- Q. How do I request services from the Law School Legal Clinic?
- A. Please call us at (479)-575-3056. We are open Monday-Thursday from 8-5 and Friday from 8-4:30.
- Q. I have been served in a law suit or need help immediately. Can the Legal Clinic help me?
- A. This depends on the type of help you need. Immigration Clinic does intake throughout the semester. Juvenile Defense Federal Practice Clinic for Bankruptcy Assistance, Transactional Clinic for non-profit assistance, and Civil Practice Clinic run on a semester by semester basis, and are only able to do intake a few times a year. Cases may be accepted outside of these times if a student attorney becomes available, but we operate on a waitlist system, and cannot guarantee an instant intake. You are welcome to call and check, and if we can't help you immediately, we can give you referrals for attorneys and other agencies in the community.
- Q. I don't meet the income requirements for the clinic I need help from; can I still get an attorney?
- A. Exceptions to the maximum income guidelines are occasionally made by the supervising attorney, but only in exceptionally rare circumstances. If we are unable to serve you, we can make referrals for attorneys in the area who might be able to help you.
- Q. I just have legal questions, I don't want representation. Can you just answer my question over the phone?
- A. The rules of ethics governing attorneys state that answering legal questions can be considered a form of representation. Because we want to give those we help the most complete and accurate information possible regarding their legal issue, we are not able to give advice out based on a phone call. We can refer you to an organization that does provide a similar service.
- Q. If I am called to come in for an intake appointment, does that guarantee me an attorney?
- A. Not necessarily. Intake interviews allow us to look at the legal issues in your case, and determine if this is a case we feel we can handle. If you case is not something our office can handle for you, we may not be able to represent you. Additionally, if you are seeking assistance from a clinic with income guidelines, intake is the point at which we assess whether your income falls in the guidelines for assistance. If we are unable to represent you, we will try to refer you to someone who can help you.
- Q. I need help with an area of law not listed under any of the clinics. Can you handle my case?
- A. The best way to find out is to call us. We can't necessarily list every type of case we handle. If your case isn't one we can handle, we will try to refer you to someone who can help you.

How important was the presidency of John F Kennedy?
Question by courtney lynn: How important was the presidency of John F Kennedy?
Was his presidency important or not?
Was he a good or bad president in your view?
Can you compare him to any other presidents? If so, who and why?
Best answer:
Answer by g-yam
important enough to have been murdered.
What do you think? Answer below!
Comments (13)
I don't think civil rights would be were it is at without him
Not very important or ground-breaking at all… that is, until he got assassinated. Then he suddenly became the greatest President of all time.
It would have been more important if our own government didn't assassinate him
No more than any other. He just faced the Cuban missile crisis and stood down the Russians.
He was the first young and attractive president. He was also the first Catholic.
Kennedy defused the Cuba missile crisis. What would have been instead is always hard to say, but it is likely that a war, fought with atomic weapons, was thus averted. I would not want to imagine what would have happened then and what the world would look like today.
If he was indeed a good president, then what did he do that was so great? He botched the invasion of Cuba with the Bay Of Pigs, he almost started World War III with the Russians during the Cuban Missile Crisis, he got this country involved in the Vietnam War, and he was sleeping with Maralyn Monroe. What good did he actually do except look good in family White House pictures?
he was only pres for 2 years. He did OK dealing with Kruschev, but bungled in his repeated plans to have Castro assassinated. His security staff would go on to help LBJ escalate the Vietnam War.
he signed no significant legislation into law
he started to build up our conventional forces after Ike had warned againt the military industrial complex. Then Vietnam escalted. Coinicidence?
Well he got us into Vietnam and cost 58,000 american soldiers their lives.
oh and he almost got the entire nation blown up with that little missile crisis thing down in Cuba.
Oh and he handled the bay of pigs thing really well too.
Its not what he was, so much as what he represented.
Before he was elected we had been involved in two wars and were warming up for a third, in Viet Nam, which Eisenhower had laid the ground work for and Johnson took up.
When you older relatives speak of a strong, and happy American they are talking of before and during Kennedy. While not perfect we still held morals and real values, not just trotted out for campaign values.
When Kennedy died so did a kind of national innocence, a feeling that the bad part was over and we could accomplish anything.
Hes often compared for that reason to LIncoln, the country was one way before, and a wholly different thing after.
The Bay of Pigs wasn't organized by him, it took place less than a month after he took office, and was orchestrated by the CIA.
not very important. He was only in office for 2 years. Very few presidents were in office for such a short period of time. He was only important because he was murdered in full color, and everyone could see his brains spraying all over the place, and then his coward wife ran away because she was scared and didn't like John's brains and blood spraying on her ugly face.
Probably it wasn't as important as it's often viewed. Sure ended up real sh*tty though with that LBJ zero in the White House.
Claims have been made that Mr. Kennedy would have taken us out of Vietnam – but I don't see much evidence for that. Hard to say what good the guy was. He kept us out of a shooting war over Cuba – that was sure something. I remember those days well – it was scary how close we came to heaving nuclear bombs back and forth.
But Kennedy never pushed the civil rights envelope like LBJ did! Holy Cow – for a scumbag, LBJ really did get a lot done for the betterment of America.
Too bad about Vietnam though.
All presidencies are important simply due to the fact the president has, not on in the U.S., but the world over. Since all presidencies have an impact, they are all important.
Kennedy was assassinated halfway through his first term. Because of the assassination, he has been deified and memorialized in ways that he would not have been had he lived to complete his term.
Kennedy was an inexperienced Junior Senator. He was not an achiever as his dad had hoped he would be. Generally speaking, Joseph Kennedy bought the presidency for his son. Getting JFK elected was much more about the senior Kennedy's obsession with getting the recognition he felt he deserved.
Kennedy shot off his mouth with regard to foreigh relations because he had no clue. As a result, the Soviet Union handed him his a$ $ .
Kennedy failed miserably with regard to the Bay of Pigs and a lot of people died as a result of his spinelessness.
Kennedy's past as a "naval hero" is largely fiction that was promoted by newspaper publisher Randolph Hearst, a good friend of Joseph Kennedy. The public was manipulated with the promise of "Camelot" by this youthful, good looking Senator from Massachusetts and his lovely, charming, classy wife (who was threatened and paid off by Joseph Kennedy to stay in the marriage, despite Kennedy's philandering).
Kennedy saw to it that the Peace Corps was established and put his brother-in-law in charge of it. He signed the bill to create the Food Stamps program, which is regrettable because it did nothing to solve a problem and subsequently created many more.
Kennedy was a typical Democrat, keen on big government, big spending and the Dependency Class.
Again, the only reason he is a "stand out" president is because of the assassination. For the most part, he was a reckless, philandering, irresponsible man who carried the mantle of the presidency for his father and family name.
In terms of comparing him with other presidents, I'd say he was better than Carter, no worse than Clinton and can't even be considered in the same class of human being with Reagan or either of the Bushes.
If you're really interested in this subject, read "The Dark Side of Camelot" by Seymour Hersh. Fascinating.
I was in elementary school when JFK was shot. We were in disbelief and grief. It was a surreal week. LBJ's inauguration on the plane, the funeral, Oswald's assassination by Ruby. How can you possibly not be influenced by all of that?
He was a unique president who was protected by the press. We haven't had a president since who could have gotten away with what we now know he did.
I think it was good to have him as president during the civil rights movement, although I think LBJ always put that as a top priority list also.
But, because of that week, it would be hard to say anything negative about him. He probably didn't accomplish enough in his short time to be a great president, but I think he was important.

I started watching Suleyman the Magnficent Turkish series because I was in love with a 19 year old girl who also watched it. I didn't end up being with her, but I didn't stop watching the series after. The reason is obvious: I liked the series very much. I usually don't watch love stories like this, but this one got into my heart so deep that I couldn't let go. What kept my attention is that almost everything that happens in the video production also happened in reality, half a millennium ago, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The love story between sultan Suleyman and Hurrem is not the only storyline layer, as the rise of the Ottoman Empire happens in the background and most of the historical happenings are presented in the video production as well.
The production is not a low budget one and can be compared as quality with Hollywood movies. The story is the one of Ottoman sultan Suleyman, who ruled the longest period of all sultans, establish a series of honest laws like never before and was the first to really marry one of the girls who were his slaves. A Russian slave named Adriana (Roxelana in real history) wins the heart of the sultan with a few seductive tricks and becomes his legitimate wife and gives birth to boys and girls. With the atmosphere of "1001 Nights", the decors and the clothes worn by actors are authentic and can impress a lot because of their luxury and beauty. The most interesting fact of this story is that Suleyman, the great ruler of the Ottoman Empire of that time, who gained victory after victory and was merciless with the ones opposing him, was less able to control the intrigues that happened in his own palace, were many of his slaves fought for having a better position in the palace.
Blinded by the love for Hurrem (this is the name he gave to his wife after she converted from Christianity to Islam and means "the one that always laughs" because she always made the sultan feel good with her jokes) into realizing who was honest and who was a betrayer in his palace, the sultan Suleyman had a hard time dealing with the rest of the palace, including his favorite slave, Mahidevran, who loved him very much, but was jealous on Hurrem and fought with her for Suleyman. I recommend this series to anyone, but I don't know if there is a translation in your own language and even in English. In my country, Romania, the series was very successful, especially because we had our own fights with the Ottoman Empire exactly in those times. It is a good alternative to American productions and the acting is absolutely astonishing.

MASSENA - Major Richard C. Smith Jr., Troop B commander, wants to remind motorists that the New York State Police in Troop B will join other law enforcement agencies across the north country in a special effort to crackdown on impaired and distracted driving during Super Bowl Weekend.
Plan to have a sober driver, or dont drink and drive if you venture out to watch the game, advises Major Smith, and as always, practice safe driving by not using your cell phone while you are operating a vehicle.
The statewide STOP-DWI and Texting-While-Driving Crackdown efforts will start on Friday and will run through Monday. This effort builds on the Governors State of the State initiatives to stop repeat drunk drivers and prevent youth texting-while-driving in order to make New Yorks roads safer.
Superintendent Joseph A. DAmico said, During this campaign period drivers can expect to see sobriety checkpoints, dedicated DWI enforcement patrols, underage drinking and sales-to-minors details across New York state.
Our Troopers will also be working to keep motorists and pedestrians safe on New Yorks roadways by identifying drivers who are illegally using hand held devices while driving. It is important to partner with our local law enforcement partners to save lives and keep drunk drivers off of our roads, he added.
If youre attending a Super Bowl party or watching the game at a sports bar or restaurant, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends football fans do the following:
■ Designate your sober driver, or plan another way to get home safely before the party begins.
■ If you dont have a designated driver, then ask a sober friend for a ride home; call a cab, friend, or family member to come and get you; or just stay for the night.
■ Use your communitys sober ride program.
■ Never let friends drive if they have had too much to drink.
■ Seat belts are the best defense against a drunk driver in a crash.
If youre hosting a Super Bowl party:
■ Make sure all your guests designate a sober driver in advance, or arrange for alternate transportation to ensure they get home safely.
■ Serve food and include non-alcoholic beverages at the party.
■ Stop serving alcohol at the end of the third quarter of the game and begin serving coffee and dessert.
■ Keep the numbers for local cab companies handy, and take the keys away from anyone who has had too much to drink.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WZZM)- For a third year, Kalamazoo is hosting its annual beer week.
A series of events supporting the craft beer experience kicks off Saturday.
There will be special tastings, dinners, and interactive events.
Over at Bell's Brewery, there will be a snow jog adventure race and challenge.
Teams of two can take part in a running bar crawl where they'll do silly things in a period of three hours to try and win prizes.
Organizers say it's also a good time to taste what Michigan has to offer.
Dir. of Marketing for Bell's Brewery, Laura Bell says, "I think beer week is a great place for breweries to showcase those one-off or those more specialities type beers. I know that we have a lot of beers around town that are not our regular lineup."
She adds, "Kalamazoo is a great community. It's relatively smaller than other cities that have beer week that have been going for a little bit longer but I would put our beer week up against any of them."
Kalamazoo Beer Week runs until Friday, January 18th.

This is mainly a program which plays go. The standard is about as good as you can get at present. I find actual grades hard to judge, but Go Professional plays at a similar level to Many Faces of Go or Handtalk, it does not try to swindle you as much as Handtalk, and plays quite correctly for much of the time. For all three programs I can give a 9 stone handicap and win by over 100 points without difficulty, but killing every stone on the board is very difficult (I have not managed that against Go Professional yet). Anyone below 10 kyu can expect a decent challenge.
As to the extras, there are facilities for setting up network games, so as to be able to relay games from one computer to another, but as far as I can see the program will not work alone as an internet client. It can read sgf files, but is relatively fussy about their format. If you collect recent professional games by clipping themn out of postings on rec.games.go there will often be spurious characters (especially carriage returns) in the file, and Go Professional seems to digest these slightly less well than Many Faces. There is no facility for adding comments or variations.
But the recommended price is a little over half that for Many Faces, and you do get a choice of whether your cursor will be an umbrella or a carrot. And if you don't like the Chinese bush warbler there is some Japanese classical music, but I was not able to identify that.

Asda launches Chosen by Kids range
Posted: August 26, 2013|
PARENTS in the UK throw away more than £50 million of leftover food every week due to their fussy little eaters refusing to eat what's on their plates – costing UK families £520 each a year.
New research on children's eating habits, commissioned by Asda, has found that meal times are the biggest worry of the day for a fifth of British parents as they struggle to find foods that their kids will love and they won't feel guilty about feeding them.
Unfortunately, the research showed that two thirds of mums and dads struggle to get kids to eat their fruit and vegetables, leading more than half of British mums and dads to throw away kid's leftovers every day.
The research also found that one in five children refuse to eat meals if they contain fruit or vegetables, leading parents to get creative to convince kids to eat healthily, with nearly half hiding fruit and veg in food and a fifth bribing their children with rewards.
The latest Asda Mumdex research shows 85 per cent of mums find it difficult to provide a balanced diet for their kids. As a result, more than half would welcome the introduction of Guideline Daily Allowance (GDAs) for kids.
Regionally, the fussiest eaters are from the south, followed by kids in Wales and then those in the Midlands.
Asda has launched Chosen by Kids, the only children's food range in the UK which has been independently tasted by children and approved by mums.
Any products which weren't given a big thumbs up on taste from children and a seal of approval on price, convenience, nutrition and appeal didn't make the 180-strong range.
Mum-of-two Gail Paddy, product development director for Asda, said: "As a mum, I know getting children to eat healthily is a worry for every parent. With more than two thirds of mums and dads struggling to get kids to eat fruit and veg, it's now easier than ever because we've added hidden portions to the Chosen by Kids range to convince even the fussiest little eater!"
Chosen by Kids follows in the footsteps of Asda's Chosen by You range and includes tasty products for children aged four to eight, for breakfast and lunch to teatime and snacking. Every product in the range meets HFSS (high fat, salt and sugar) government guidelines and many offer at least one of your five a day.

They look good! But is it just me, or is that not a whole lot of product in the tube? :/
12/27/12 18:23 auroragyps:
I can't tell if these have two colors or if the lighting just makes one side look like a lighter color. Either way, I'll keep my eye out.
12/27/12 21:10 Jenny:
Hi Muse! I´m a NYX distributor and these lipsticks don´t have 2 sides, I´m sorry, it´s just the lighting in the promo pictures Essential and Splendid are my faves, really gorgeous fuchsia and hot pink colors!
12/28/12 15:30 Iris:
Essential looks so bright and pretty. Canada seldom gets NYX new releases in stores but I'll keep an eye out for this.
12/31/12 8:14 Daisy:
Hi Muse. When do you think the new products will launch on the website?

Written by Tula Connell, AFL-CIO
Opponents of increasing the nation's minimum wage always fall back on the argument that it doesn't need to be raised because it's mostly teenagers working part-time for extra pocket money who are getting that hourly figure (which right now is $7.25).
A new study shows that stereotype isn't true. In fact, the majority of minimum wage workers have completed some college, live in families making less than $40,000 a year and so are contributing to the family income, and are working full-time.
Economic Policy Institute (EPI) economist Doug Hall blows up the myths behind the minimum wage at EPI's Working Economics blog, where he also shows that the vast majority of minimum wage earners are white and only 15 percent are part-time workers.
Hall argues that now is the ideal time for Congress to raise the minimum wage.
As my colleague David Cooper wrote in April, increasing the federal minimum wage to $9.80 by July 1, 2014, would benefit more than 28 million workers and increase national GDP by over $25 million, in the process creating more than 100,000 jobs. Given the lackluster recovery that continues to cast a pall over the nation, this positive step should be embraced by all those who care about the well-being of working families.
Hall writes that Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin (D) introduced the Rebuild America Act, a bill that contains important provisions to strengthen the economy and improve the well-being of working Americans.
Among the many worthy elements of this bill is a proposal to increase the federal minimum wage to $9.80 by July 1, 2014.
Next week marks the third year since the federal minimum wage was increased. But it's a good bet for many members of Congress, the only way they would raise the minimum wage is if they actually had to live on $7.25 an hour.
The National Employment Law Project (NELP) just released a new report that also provides unexpected facts about minimum wage workers, including the fact that the majority (66 percent) of low-wage workers are not employed by small businesses, but rather by large corporations with more than 100 employees. Read the report summary here.
This post was originally published by the AFL-CIO.

Scott A. people like you are the reason why I wish I could bitch smack people through a computer screen. Do you realize that since we federalized the education system our children have suffered for it? Our nation on average has gotten dumber and dumber every year as a result. Look at all the schools closing down receiving no funding. It's outrageous. But oh man, how did we ever teach our children anything without the feds. Also, yeah we can keep our own streets safe. Maybe you couldn't because you are probably a giant pussy, but yeah, you could form a tight sense of community with the people you live around, and watch out for each other. That's what people used to do. There weren't always Sheriffs and Police Stations everywhere. And now we have technology on our side. You could set up and enforce a perimeter around your neighborhood so damn fast it would make your head spin. As for fire departments and the USPS, I'm sure we could find a way to make both strictly local, locally funded, and I bet they would run smoother than they do now.

The only way to make a raise in the minimum wage really stick is to spend enough of the taxpayers' money on community service employment program jobs to make such a job available to everyone who asks for one. ---- That includes those who quit WalMart because they would rather pick up litter in the streets, off sidewalks, and in parks under the supervision of a local government bureaucrat than take any more guff from WalMart. Without a community service employment program large enough to accommodate everyone who wants such a job, labor will be driven into a black market of jobs at either very much less than the current minimum wage or just plain illegal work--like pushing street drugs.
Sometimes someone with a degree makes minimum wage.
Thank you for sharing.
Minimum wage is not a living wage. For rent, food, transportation, household bills alone consumes the annual income. Americans are struggling to survive the CEO's get richer, Wall street crooks harvest their spoils, Big banks and credit card companies exploit the working poor. This is Capitalism USA in it's finest hour.
And just what are we supposed to be "depending on ourselves" for as opposed to the government? Keeping our streets safe? Putting out fires? Educating our children? Delivering the mail?
I want some examples. Your statement may very well be the STUPIDEST thing I have seen on the Internet in the last ten years.

Through treasure hunts you can become a world changer, transforming your community one encounter at a time!

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Every year, the Gwinnett County Extension Service gets this question: "Can I plant sod when it is dormant?"The answer is sure you can, but be careful - it's hard to know whether dormant sod is alive when you buy it and plant it. If you plant in December when will you know it is dead? Will it be May of next year? Where do you think the guy who planted the stuff is going to be then? Drive up and down the streets of any new subdivision nearing completion in the dead of winter and you will see crews happily planting brown dormant warm-season sod. Homebuyers beware! When dormant sod is planted and there are dead squares of sod on the pallets, a checkerboard pattern will emerge in the spring. Live squares will thrive while dead ones will not. The yard will look like a patchwork quilt. Bermudagrass and Zoysiagrass are warm-season grasses, which means they grow during the warm months of the year and go dormant in the cooler months. Roots can live if the winter isn't particularly cold, but they can die as well. To ensure dormant sod will survive, it's important to avoid winter desiccation, or drying out, and to avoid low-temperature injury. Drying out can be a significant problem because grass roots don't grow in the winter, so the sod just sits on top of the cold soil all winter. The warm, dry winds of late winter and early spring increase the demand for water. But it's harder than ever for water to get to the grass's perennial survival structures, because of a combination of cold soil and a limited root system. Direct low temperature injury can be a problem because the crowns (the structures where the leaves emerge), stolons and shallow rhizomes of turfgrass may be killed. Successful transplanting of dormant sod depends on planting healthy sod. Pallets of dormant sod may have been sitting around some retailer's holding yard for some time. Since sod is harvested when it is actually green and growing, pallets of dormant sod are probably old. Sod should be planted within days of being harvested and palleted. If sod is to be held for extended periods of time, it should be unstacked, laid out on the ground and irrigated often. Proper soil preparation, good soil-to-sod contact, avoiding low temperature injury and, most importantly, proper watering to prevent the sod from drying out are essential in getting winter planted sod to survive. A word to the wise ... wait until summer to plant sod if you can. You will happy that you did. Timothy Daly is an agricultural and natural resource agent with the Gwinnett County Extension Service. He can be reached at 678-377-4010 or email@example.com.

Government hopes to improve pension transfer process
The Government is investigating how the transfer system can be improved as part of a project to consolidate scattered pension pots overseen by pensions minister Steve Webb.
The three core proposals to consolidate small pots are:
- improving the current system;
- overhauling the system so a member's pension follows them when they move jobs;
- automatically transferring small pots into a low-cost provider such as Nest.
Pension providers have raised concerns over the complexity of occupational pension scheme transfers and over slow response from closed life insurers.
Research from the Department for Work and Pensions, which is based on face-to- face interviews with 15 UK pension providers, points to occupational scheme transfers being more complex and less efficient than, for example, transfers between group personal pensions.
The main problems reported with transfers are slow response of trustees to transfer requests, complexity of occupational pension scheme rules and "archaic" computer systems used to store occupational scheme details.

What It Is
Colorgami is a craft and activity line that lets kids color fashions on paper models and then stand them up on display stands. Grandparents will recognize these as a new version of classic paper dolls. The Red Carpet Fashion Series includes giant-sized perforated craft sheets for coloring and constructing four 3-D glamor models. There are also paper dolls of paparazzi that can be set up to mimic a real red carpet experience. Use the four washable markers, including the shimmering gold marker, to color and design the dresses and gowns, as well as included accessories such as jewelry, hats, and handbags. Once the coloring is done, just pop out the accessories and dresses from the perforated sheets and connect the letters on the bottom to stand them up and display.
Is It Fun?
This is a classic activity kit for kids who are interested in fashion and love watching celebrities walk down the red carpet at awards shows. The kit only comes with four markers, and we think you'll want to add other markers you might already own so that kids can really get creative and use a lot of different colors in their dress and accessory designs. We'd recommend enhancing the creations with glitter, glue and notions if you want to engage kids over time. Some kids might want to keep their designs out on display, while others may want to use their creations to play out their own scenes from the red carpet.
Who It's For
Colorgami The Red Carpet Fashion Series is for ages 5 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Additional Colorgami kits are available and sold separately.
For best results and easiest use, color in the dresses and accessories before you punch them out of the craft sheets.
While this can certainly be a fun activity, as noted earlier, the stuff that comes with the set is somewhat limiting. Younger kids may be fine just with coloring in the dresses, but older kids—and especially those who enjoy crafts and fashion—will want more stuff to allow them to be more creative.
The play is really in the coloring and creativity. There really is limited play with the paper dolls once they're finished, other than to display them.

How can you transform your retail brand for the digital world – optimizing your user experience for mobile, tablets and more?
This was one of the many questions that sparked discussion at this week's Shop.org 2013 Summit. Major retailers from all over – such as leaders from Walgreens, Crate & Barrel, L.L. Bean and Lululemon – flooded the sessions and the exhibit hall to discuss best practices for leveraging web, mobile and tablet traffic – and thus driving bottom line growth and brand awareness.
Keynote Sessions
One of our favorite keynotes was led by Walgreens' President and CEO, Gregory D. Wasson. Wasson, joined by the company's President of eCommerce as well as a Forrester Analyst, spoke about the brand's journey transforming itself to become a mobile leader. While Walgreens hasn't lept at every fad, if you want your brand to stay around for 112 years like Walgreens has, you need to stay relevant to people's lives – and that is exactly what they have done.
While Walgreens is now one of the brands leading innovation in the tech world, it doesn't come without many big challenges. Some of the biggest challenges Wasson shared in his keynote was the need to integrate the social and mobile experience – as well as dealing with the blurred lines from multiple digital channels. Where users start the shopping process and where they end it are not always on the same device. This means retail brands must create a seamless digital experience across platforms.
The Buzz Around Usability
Refining the user experience and the usability of eCommerce sites and apps was the biggest pain point we heard from retailers. Most of the brands we talked to, while experiencing great success through mobile and web, were still seeing problems reported by their users. The big takeaway was that no matter how well your site or app is working, it can always be improved – and with each improvement more sales and higher user engagement can be achieved. Getting the right device/geographic coverage and scaling their test teams was the challenge retailers claimed to struggle with most – and we were excited to share the uTest in-the-wild testing model with different QA and User Experience leaders at different brands.

A popular south shore Kauai beach will undergo a small-scale sand replenishment project to address erosion.
The county's Department of Parks and Recreation says the Poipu Beach project is scheduled to begin Dec. 9 and is expected to be completed by the end of the week.
Nearly 500 cubic yards of fill sand from Kawailele Bird Sanctuary in Mana will be used. The state Department of Land and Natural Resources deems the fill sand compatible with Poipu Beach sand. The fill sand has been screened and washed to filter silt and fine grains.
Work areas will be closed to the public one section at a time. County lifeguard services will not be interrupted.
Work will halt for inclement weather or protected animals in the area.
