Republicans Gessler, Brophy criticize incumbent Governor
Tancredo skips Lincoln Club forum, complains it pits GOP candidates against each other
The Colorado Statesman
Republicans Greg Brophy and Scott Gessler attacked Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesday over failed leadership and an inability to make concrete decisions, as the two prepare for a possible gubernatorial challenge.
Brophy, a state senator from Wray, has already formally announced his campaign and has been actively hitting the trail. Gessler, the conservative stalwart secretary of state, plans to make his announcement on Sept. 17.
Speaking before the Lincoln Club of Colorado at the Colorado Auto Dealers Association in Denver, the two Republicans spared each other political attacks, instead opting to throw their full weight behind targeting Hickenlooper.
It appears to be a strategy within the Republican gubernatorial primary to sing "Kumbaya" around each other in order to save their furious might for the increasingly vulnerable Democratic governor.
A recent Quinnipiac University poll indicated that Hickenlooper's approval rating is sinking. Only 45 percent of Colorado voters say he deserves re-election in 2014, while 47 percent say he does not.
Hickenlooper holds an incredibly tight lead over Republican challengers, leading former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo by a single percentage point — 46 percent to 45 percent.
Hickenlooper leads Gessler 48 percent to 41 percent and he has the edge over Brophy 48 percent to 39 percent.
Tancredo has called on Republican candidates to sign a pledge not to hurt each other. He is calling it a "Republican Peace Agreement." He is concerned that a divisive primary could scorch the earth and leave Republicans weak to take on Hickenlooper.
Tancredo was invited to the forum but declined to attend because he was afraid that the format would pit the candidates against each other, which he felt would be damaging, according to Mary Dambman, president of the Lincoln Club of Colorado.
"I'm running for governor of Colorado to defeat John Hickenlooper and his radical, left wing policies, not run down other decent Republican candidates," explained Tancredo. "If our struggling Republican Party can't get it together and demonstrate civility toward each other, we will again be handing victory to the Democrat extremists and their out-of-control, disastrous agenda."
None of the gubernatorial candidates had yet to sign the pledge as of Friday, which was only unveiled on Thursday. But it appears they are playing along even without the commitment.
Above all, Republicans point to Hickenlooper's support of gun control and his backing of a rural renewable energy standard that is expected to raise rates just as the economy is recovering.
Also, a decision this spring not to execute convicted killer Nathan Dunlap, instead granting a "temporary reprieve," has also irked Republicans, perhaps just as much as other issues they have with the governor.
Republicans say Hickenlooper's "indecision" is representative of how he goes about governing, by taking a very middle-of-the-road approach.
Hickenlooper could have signed an execution order, or granted clemency and commuted Dunlap's sentence to life in prison. Both those moves would have been much more definitive. But instead Hickenlooper granted only a temporary order, meaning another governor could make a more concrete decision.
"I'm not sure if he is being led by this radical legislature, or if he is in lockstep with them, but what he is clearly failing to do is lead on all of the key issues," opined Brophy.
"On the Dunlap decision, rather than just be anti-death penalty — as he talks — and commute the sentence, he took the chicken route and washed his hands of it, punting it down the road to the next governor," added Brophy. "That's a failure of leadership."
Gessler took it one step further, calling Hickenlooper, "Gov. Jellyfish."
"He provides no vision and absolutely no leadership," declared Gessler. "He is a follower; he's not a leader, and he is following the worst impulses, the most liberal Democratic legislature we have seen in decades."
Brophy has made a habit of poking fun at Hickenlooper for establishing a blue ribbon commission, TBD Colorado, which was put together to make recommendations for how to improve the state. "TBD" is short for "to be determined."
State Sen. Greg Brophy
"Just a failure of leadership, and his vision is still to be determined," quipped Brophy.
"Name calling? Really?" responded Eric Brown, a spokesman for Hickenlooper.
"As for failed leadership, the governor's record proves differently," he added.
Gessler highlighted his ability to win statewide elections, pointing out that in 2010 he defeated Democratic incumbent Bernie Buescher for secretary of state, despite lackluster success by Colorado Republicans in recent years. He also said he is willing to stand up to criticism in the name of principle.
Secretary of State Scott Gessler
Liberals have adopted the nickname "Honey Badger" for Gessler, referring to his brazen approach to policy and politics. Just like a honey badger, Gessler is unafraid, often speaking his mind and taking on critics and the press.
"We want, as Republicans, someone who is going to stand up for principle, who can endure the withering criticism, sometimes from members of the fourth estate, the editorial boards," attested Gessler. "Someone who can stand up and is proven to withstand those criticisms."
Brophy, however, said he is just as bold, painting himself as a conservative leader in the legislature who led many fights against Democrats.
Governor John Hickenlooper
"If you think back to those battles and you see who was leading the fight for conservatives in the state of Colorado, and who is carrying that message on the radio and on the television, that was me," stated Brophy.
Both Brophy and Gessler spoke of fostering limited government. They each said that on their first day in office they would sign Dunlap's death warrant.
They also each promised on their first day in office to rescind an executive order signed by former Gov. Bill Ritter, a Democrat, which authorized state workers to unionize.
That has Tim Markham, executive director of Colorado WINS, the union representing state workers, nervous that if either of the Republicans beat Hickenlooper, state workers would get hurt. WINS issued a response following the statements by Brophy and Gessler.
"Brophy and Gessler's statements are an insult to the thousands of state workers who serve the people of Colorado every day," said Markham. "These are our friends and neighbors who plow our roads, care for our veterans and keep us safe from dangerous criminals.
"We're proud of the successful partnerships we've formed with the state and our working together towards a common goal of improved services for our fellow taxpayers," continued Markham. "Brophy and Gessler would take Colorado backwards."
Brophy also said that on his first day in office he would cut state funding for abortion-related activities.
Cathy Alderman, vice president of public affairs for Planned Parenthood Votes Colorado, pointed out that the state constitution already prohibits using state funds for abortion activities.
"We hope that Sen. Brophy will take a moment to review the Colorado Constitution, which already prohibits the use of state funds for abortion services, which has been the law in Colorado as approved by the voters since 1984," responded Alderman. "We also believe that if Sen. Brophy becomes governor, he should make creating jobs and improving the health and economy for Coloradans his top priority instead of continuing to wage a war on women's rights."
Gessler did not touch the abortion issue. Instead, he said that on his first day in office he would take action on taxes.
"I would propose a broad economic package that would reduce regulations, reduce some of the unfair taxes we have here in the state of Colorado to get this economy back rolling on track," said Gessler.
The gubernatorial candidates also quickly touched on a slew of other issues facing the state, of which they mostly agreed. Both candidates would:
• Increase the capacity of Interstate 70;
• Support voters' will to legalize and tax marijuana;
• Oppose common core state education standards;
• Reform entitlement programs by cutting fraud; and
• Oppose new taxes.
Attorney General
Also speaking at the Lincoln Club of Colorado summer barbecue was Rep. Mark Waller of Colorado Springs, who recently stepped down as minority leader to run a campaign to succeed Republican Attorney General John Suthers, who is term-limited.
Waller must first beat primary challenger Deputy Attorney General Cynthia Coffman. Coffman did not attend the forum on Wednesday due to a scheduling conflict.
Whoever wins the primary is likely to take on Democrat Don Quick, a former Adams County district attorney who is yet to face a primary opponent.
A jovial Waller had the floor to himself as he outlined why he is running for the statewide position. Much of his reason is rooted in distrust of the Democratic agenda.
He pointed to the gun control debate at the legislature in which Vice President Joe Biden flew to Colorado and called Colorado Democrats to encourage them to vote for the package of gun control measures.
"It was an absolute tremendous honor for me as the Republican leader in the Statehouse to be that voice for you and to be able to carry that voice forward and to be the representative of that voice against east coast politicians and special interests," said Waller.
"And that's exactly what I'm going to do when I'm your attorney general," he continued. "I am going to be that voice that stands up and fights for our Western values and our Western way of life in the face of these east coast politicians and these special interest groups."
As attorney general, much of Waller's work would surround implementation of marijuana legalization. The federal government said on Thursday that it would not interfere with states that have legalized the drug. But implementing a legal framework in Colorado will still be a task for the attorney general's office.
"We have an obligation, as the state, to fight for state law and fight for the infrastructure that we've implemented," said Waller.
"[Implementation] is going to be with us, and it's going to be in the forefront of our public conscience for the next eight to ten years," he added. "It's going to take us a long time to develop that area of the law and make sure that we do it correctly."
U.S. Senate
None of the frontrunner Republican candidates for U.S. Senate attended the forum. Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck, and state Sens. Owen Hill of Colorado Springs and Randy Baumgardner of Hot Sulphur Spring said they had scheduling conflicts, according to Dambman.
But Jaime McMillan of Durango explained why he believes he is the best candidate to unseat incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Udall.
McMillan is an interesting Republican candidate, with his positions departing from traditional Republican values, perhaps representing a new wave in GOP thinking.
He is the owner of an investment advisory firm who only moved to Colorado in recent years. He said his experiences have shaped a different viewpoint. While he holds the Republican value of fiscal conservancy, he splits on certain social issues, especially that of gay rights.
His 92-year-old grandfather, a World War II veteran, is openly gay. McMillan said it is time for the GOP to embrace equality.
"Our party needs to recognize the gay community as equals in our society," remarked McMillan. "For me, that struggle has been a personal experience… My grandfather is a great American hero… He risked his life, he served his country selflessly, and the time has come for his country to serve him.
"We should be, as Republicans, on the same side as equality and freedom for every American," he continued. "No government should deny these citizens their right to marry if they so choose."
McMillan extended that belief to immigrants, making the case for immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship. The majority of Republicans have rejected this idea.
"Today we have 11 million immigrants in the United States illegally here today, mainly Hispanic," he said. "And although they have broken the law, I believe they have done so based in the same moral sentiments of our founding fathers. I believe they've done it based on economic freedom and opportunity. Their acts may not be justified, but their reasons deserve our mercy."

Re: My ultraviolent summer movie challenge.
Atrocious (2010)
Found footage films are not my thing, I loved Blair witch project but on first, second and third watch I didn't but after watching it again and learning more about it, it became one of my favourites that I could appreciate. Atrocious has a simple formula typical of the found footage genre. A family go on Easter break to their holiday home in the countryside. There's the usual legends of the area of ghosts but this one breaks that slight rule. I will try not to let on but the ending was a cop out, much of the film is pretty scary but then the ending happens... If I ever meet the makers I will let them know how strongly I felt about it too. If you've seen it you'll understand. There were also so many plot holes, the story of the girl in the red dress was at some point abandoned which was a real shame. Overall it WAS scary which is what I wanted but the ending just lets it down and theres too many plot holes.

By David Schuh | @DSchuhKernel
The theme of this UK men's basketball season has changed repeatedly. Ranked No. 3 in the country back in November, the Cats have fallen all the way to a point that is fairly unfamiliar.
UK fans aren't used to cheering for Cinderella.
With two games left in the regular season, UK is a bubble team in the eyes of nearly every pundit around the country. The team still feels, though, that they have the ability to shock them all.
"I believe in the team," head coach John Calipari said. "I'm going out with the whole idea that we're going to write a heck of a story. This is going to be a heck of a story when it's all said and done. If you want it to be."
The next chapter of that story is a road matchup Thursday night at 7 p.m. with the Georgia Bulldogs. The Cats are coming off their fifth double-digit loss of the season at Arkansas Saturday, a game where they played good enough defense to win, but couldn't overcome the Razorbacks' ruthless defensive pressure.
"During the game you don't feel like you were playing the way everyone was saying we played," freshman center Willie Cauley-Stein said. "But if you go back on film, you can definitely see that they were playing with more intensity. They were tougher, they were punking us."
Georgia comes into Thursday's game after beating Tennessee by 10 on Saturday. They're just 8-8 in SEC play, but boast the league's second-leading scorer in sophomore guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who's averaging 18.0 points per game. He's one of 11 D-I players to score in double figures in every game this season.
They don't have another player averaging more than seven points per game.
"I think they'll be aggressive," Calipari said of Georgia. "They may not spread the court like Arkansas, but they're still going to be aggressive and physical. They're going to pressure us when they have the opportunity to."
Cauley-Stein could be a key to Thursday's game against a Bulldog frontcourt that has lacked major productivity this season.
The freshman center has come on of late, averaging 12.5 points and eight rebounds in the last two games while shooting 11-of-14 from the field. He's reached double-digit points in six of his last eight games.
The tone for the Cats has been a bit more panicked lately, as time continues to tick for a team that is pressing to come together the way they want.
Through it all, Calipari has never wavered in his optimism.
"At some point, the lights have to go on," he said. "And when it does, you are going to see a team, and you have seen it at times. But, we don't have a whole lot of time."
For a group that has had to recover from so many setbacks, having to re-focus after a difficult loss has been a necessary trend. Going forward, though, UK has taken on an underdog role, and they're determined they can ride it further than anyone thinks.
"You see all these Cinderella teams in the tournament that are playing their best at the end of the year," junior guard Jon Hood said. "We just need to come together, play like a team and play tough and we'll be fine … Any team can do it, so why can't we?"

text: Pope Gets Medieval in Fight Against Devil Old-school attitude raises Vatican eyebrows By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff Posted May 12, 2014 2:06 AM CDT | Updated May 12, 2014 3:43 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (37) (Newser) – Pope Francis has become known for his progressive attitudes but Vatican insiders say his approach to Satan is decidedly old-school, far more so than his recent predecessors, the Washington Post finds. In many sermons, the pontiff has warned that the devil is a real, ever-present evil entity that people need to be on their guard against. "Pope Francis never stops talking about the devil; it's constant," says a senior Vatican bishop. "Had Pope Benedict done this, the media would have clobbered him." Bishops who speak of Satan as an allegorical figure may not be pleased by the pope's approach, but exorcists are delighted to have a pontiff on their side. "The sad truth is that there are many bishops and priests in our church who do not really believe in the devil," says the Vatican's former chief exorcist. "I believe Pope Francis is speaking to them. Because when you don't believe, the devil wins." Francis himself was seen laying hands on a Mexican pilgrim last year in what the Vatican says was merely a prayer, though it looked a lot like an exorcism to many observers. This was not an exorcism, according to the Vatican.

"This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."-Revelation 13:18
As technology grows more sophisticated and the government and its corporate allies further refine their methods of keeping tabs on the American people, those of us who treasure privacy increasingly find ourselves engaged in a struggle to maintain our freedoms in the midst of the modern surveillance state.
Just consider the many ways we're already being monitored and tracked: through our Social Security numbers, bank accounts, purchases and electronic transactions; by way of our correspondence and communications devices-email, phone calls and mobile phones; through chips implanted in our vehicles, identification documents, even our clothing. Data corporations are capturing vast caches of personal information on you so that airports, retailers, police and other government authorities can instantly identify and track you. Add to this the fact that businesses, schools and other facilities are relying more and more on fingerprints and facial recognition to identify us. All the while, banks and other financial institutions must verify the identities of new customers and make such records of customer transactions available to the police and government officials upon request.
In recent years, this information glut has converged into a mandate for a national ID card, which came to a head with Congress' passage of the REAL ID Act in 2005. REAL ID requires states to issue machine-readable drivers' licenses containing a wealth of personal data. However, because the REAL ID Act has been opposed by many states due to its cost and implementation, we have yet to be subjected to a nationwide implementation of a national ID card. That may all change depending on what happens with the immigration reform bill now before Congress.

As already stated, a lot of launch Wii U titles are already available on other systems at a lower price tag, since they've been out for quite some time.
Speaking of price, the average $60 price tag of one Wii U game is a real wallet killer. And for a gamer like myself, who's subjected to whatever money his parents has in their wallets in order to buy games, that can be a real turn off to them.
I managed to get my father to purchase the Black Deluxe Bundle when we took our last vacation to the States. He spent roughly $380 dollars (tax prices). I wanted to purchase "SONIC & SEGA ALL STARS RACING TRANSFORMED", but the GameStop we were in didn't have any in stock. Even if they didn't, my father would have most likely declined purchasing it, as that would brought the total to most likely $430+ dollars.
So yeah, with a weak economy and high price tags of games, combined with the high price tag of the console and majority of games already being released in the past on other consoles with lower price tags, it's no wonder sales are a little slow on software.
It most likely will pick up in a few months, so just sit tight Ninty.

Dan Sachs was playing what looked like a Modern Eagle or something with McCarty electronics that looked to me, like faded jade glow; that was a great looking guitar even from a distance.
Absolutely stunning show and Junior made mention of being back in a couple of months.

The life of NASCAR superstar Dale Earnhardt Jr. has turned into a train wreck, and pals fear he's headed for an emotional breakdown.
The 35-year-old driver is feuding with the owner of his racing team, he's burned through a string of girlfriends, and he's still haunted by the tragic death of his legendary father, sources say.
Now the troubled bachelor may be turning to booze to cope, insiders say.
"Dale Jr. seems almost in a death spiral," disclosed a close pal. "He's locked himself away from his closest friends, and he's upset all the time.
"Those closest to him are concerned about his mental health and well-being. No one wants to see him do something stupid. We've suggested that he get help, take some time off and regroup, but he won't listen."
Another source divulged: "Dale tries to downplay his reputation as a hard drinker, but he's lived his life like a frat boy at a kegger. But now he's drinking not for the fun of it, but to heal deep wounds that are eating away at him. We're all worried about him."
A major source of pain for Earnhardt is his stunning drop from the top of the NASCAR heap. He jumped ship from his father's NASCAR team in 2007 after fighting with his father's widow Teresa over control of the team.
He joined the powerhouse Hendrick Motorsports team, which a source described as "like signing on as a free agent with the New York Yankees."
But he has just one win since joining the team, and team owner Rick Hendrick reportedly isn't happy with his performance.
"On race days lately, when Dale should have been up and ready to win, he instead seemed listless, morose and disturbingly unfocused," a close source told The ENQUIRER.
"One NASCAR writer was shocked to hear that Dale was found alone, weeping, after a poor finish in a race. Another time, he punched a wall of a trailer and screamed profanities.
"Dale has never recovered from the loss of his father, and sometimes it seems like he has no interest in continuing his racing career."
For all the details pick up the ENQUIRER still on sale!

TechAmerica's leadership vowed to soldier on in the wake of the defection of the lobbying group's key procurement staff to the rival Information Technology Industry Council.
"These changes were unexpected, but make no mistake, the member leadership of TechAmerica remains committed to TechAmerica, serving public sector members and Shawn Osborne as the president and CEO of the organization," Dennis Stolkey, chair of TechAmerica's board of directors, said in a joint statement with Robin Lineberger, chair of the group's public sector board.
The group's senior public procurement staff -- Trey Hodgkins, Erica McCann, Pam Walker and Carol Henton -- moved to ITI on Nov. 5 to form the organization's new Information Technology Alliance for Public Sector (ITAPS).
Some TechAmerica staff have reportedly chafed under a cost-cutting regime put in a place as the organization evolved from its 2009 beginnings from the merger between the American Electronics Association and Information Technology Association.
"We knew that changing how an organization steeped in the traditional ways of Washington would not be without challenges, but TechAmerica has made key investments to better serve members and implemented new initiatives that have delivered member benefit like never before," said Stolkey. "The vision of TechAmerica is exciting and innovative and I remain confident that the path we are on is the right one."
Hodgkins, a long-time public procurement expert at TechAmerica, along with McCann, Walker and Henton, give ICI a stand-up public procurement program, but TechAmerica officials said it will continue its efforts in the public sector.
"While I am disappointed with the departures of the former staff, TechAmerica's expertise and commitment to the public sector group of member companies remains unchanged" said Lineberger. "As members, we are seeing a fresh new approach to engaging us in TechAmerica. Hard decisions have been made and real change instituted, which has meant a more robust return on our investment."

Antiquated computer systems based on legacy code are a problem for government not just because they are hard to secure, but because it is hard to find people to run them.
Steven Kelman unpacks the argument that social media can negatively affect organizational performance.
"TechAmerica has made key investments to better serve members and implemented new initiatives that have delivered member benefit like never before," said Stolkey." What exactly are these new initiatives and how are they (there are none) somehow better than before? An explanation would be very helpful.
The Board remains committed to Shawn Osbourne. So the Board's goal all along was to lose money, members and staff?
I remember them when it was AeA - case study in how bad association managment can kill a vibrant trade association. The real talent was in the field offices across the country - which they shut down last year.
There are no left so exactlty so what are the "key investments"? Please explain.
News reports claim since July, Tech America has lost 75 members. If the reports are correct, think that those 75 members must not share the Board's assertion that the changes have resulted in a more robust ROI. Were that the case, think those 75 members would have renewed.

I caught the demo for this between tv shows last night.
They were throwing in some software which made it a rather good deal. But that's where the problems began with the demo.
They never mention that you had to hook it up the computer to do embroidery. They mentioned you could, not that you had to. I wonder how many people ordered this and when the get it realized they need a computer next to it. I know, by looking at machine you would think it's obvious but people who are impluse buying and I would think that is 50% of their business....
They say it's four machines in one which is an absolute lie. There is no such thing as a "quilting" machine and they are stretching it being a serging machine.
I mean it would be a great second embroidery machine if just for the software alone for the price. But be honest about it. I know from when Singer first introduced these machines people had lots of problems with them. I would that would have improved by now of has it. I'm interested to learning from you that own them how you like them.
Edited to add I just read the reviews at HSN seems things haven't changed much since these type machines were introduced. -- Edited on 9/14/12 9:35 AM --
Snake-oil salesmen/women as still alive and just as deplorable as ever.
------"Improvise, adapt and overcome." - Clint Eastwood/Heartbreak Ridge
"Isn�t it a shame in today�s world you can�t tell the truth. If you tell the truth you�re abrasive. If you lie you�re charming." - Bob Huggins/College Basketball Coach
Singer had some great embroidery machines I wonder why they just didn't stick with them. And the had some great pre-embroidery machines one of which I have. I guess since Ownership changed hands. That's when there TOL machines were made by Happy and Juki both Japanese companies not China.
Thanks for the insight. I would love a simple embroidery machine, basically to do monograms and create my own emblem to put on clothes--and I think that is called digitalizing--have not researched. Anyway, I have to say, the lady--can't think of her name but has the red hair, I thought she was credible after seeing her warehouse of sewing machines and the time she puts into sewing (YouTube video) but now I see it's just fluff. I wonder how these people sleep at night? I know there's some emblishments to sell the product--look at all the baggy crotches and pucked seams on their pull on pants...do I sound like Michael Kors?
------Carpe diem!
Darlene *IS* credible. The specs for that machine are clearly there on the website including the USB connectivity. I think people who are going to spend that much money will either check out the specs online or do comparison shopping before they blindly pick up the phone. If they don't it sure isn't our worry. HSN is a reliable vendor, easy enough to return things to, and although that particular machine has no appeal for me on several levels, aesthetics being one, I think there is no snake oil involved. Darlene works for Singer. Other manufacturer also employ salespersons who are crafters to sell their products. It behooves folks to check out whatever they are thinking of purchasing, and this machine is not an exception.
------"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible."
--Dalai Lama
I have sewing machines
I'm not a HSN person and never will be. But let's face it their job is to sell. And I just thought it was a tad misleading. Sure informed sewers like ourselves wouldn't get it past us, but I could someone who is thinking about this and hears 4 machines in one. Well I could see the appeal especially if I had limited funds for this. I just thought they didn't press the point home that you need a computer to embroider with this machine. And take away the computer you have pretty simple sewing machine. -- Edited on 9/14/12 11:50 AM --
I watched too. I did not get the impression you did.
The embroidery machine Darlene demoed has no LCD screen on it. Darlene said many embroidery machines do have screens and that some are small. But consumers could clearly see this machine had none. Then Darlene went on to say something to the effect that you do use your big computer screen to set up your embroidery.
I have the show taped, but even without rewatching it, I totally understood that you need your computer to set up for embroidery. And I would think that anyone who has the slightest urge to do machine embroidery would know that some kind of screen is needed somewhere to set for it.
As far as the machine being a 4 in one, well that's just silly in some respects--the serger part that is. It has that little cutter presser foot and it does a poor impression of what a serger does but in no way qualifies as a serger and all they can do. However, Darlene did show it in action so any buyer knows what they are buying with the cutter/serger presser foot. The machine does sew and embroider--parts 2 and 3. It has quilting stitches and extended room in the harp area which quilters like and accounts for the quilting part. So that's the 4 parts. I really did not think it was so misleading.
In this same vein, many times I've seen Darlene demo a SM that has 7mm stitching and includes an alphabet. She will stitch out words on air so the consumer can clearly see them. Yet, later on in the reviews, a buyer will complain that the alphabet is too little to be used for monograms or that the letters can't be enlarged. Hello.....it's a 7mm machine. Sometimes, the reviews (not just on HSN-across the Internet) make me upset.
Actually, the on air presentation from last night of this machine can be watched now. HSN has it available by clicking on the video under the photo of the machine: Singer Futura Quartet Machine
------Thank you Lord for my mother who taught me the joy of sewing, for my father and husband who encouraged my sewing, for the talent You gave me to sew, and for all the special people in my life to sew for.

On The Fly: Top stock stories for Tuesday
Stocks on Wall Street see-sawed throughout the day and eventually finished the day mixed, with solid earnings reports from both Wal-Mart (WMT) and Home Depot (HD) helping the Dow notch a small gain while the S&P recorded a small loss. The averages looked to be set to extend yesterday's advance, but weakened during the afternoon following news of a stadium evacuation in Europe that unsettled investors and put a halt to the rally. The market struggled into the close but avoided a big selloff as headlines crossed that police in Germany found no explosives at the site of the game cancellation in Hanover. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the consumer price index rose 0.2% in October, as expected. When food and energy prices are stripped out, the "core" CPI also rose 0.2%, also matching the consensus forecast. Industrial production slid 0.2% in October, versus expectations for it to have risen 0.1%. Capacity utilization came in as expected at 77.5%. NAHB's home builder sentiment index fell 3 points to 62 in November, versus expectations for a reading of 64. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Wal-Mart advanced 3.5% to $59.92 after the world's largest retailer reported better than expected quarterly earnings and gave a fiscal year profit outlook that was higher than expected at the midpoint of the company's range. Another retail giant and fellow Dow member, Home Depot, gained 4.4% to $126.18 while TJX (TJX), owner of the TJ Maxx and HomeGoods brands, rose nearly 4% to $68.18 after their own better than expected quarterly reports. Missing out on the retail rally, however, was Dick's Sporting Good (DKS), which tumbled 9.4% to $36.96 after giving guidance for the holiday quarter and fiscal 2015 that missed consensus estimates. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Airgas (ARG), which jumped $31.17, or 29.39%, to $137.35 after agreeing to be acquired by Air Liquide for $143 per share. Also higher was Syngenta (SYT), which advanced $6.69, or 9.24%, to $79.06 after Monsanto (MON) Chief Operating Officer Brett Begemann told reporters the company is weighing another attempt at acquiring the Swiss firm. Among the noteworthy losers were GNC (GNC), Vitamin Shoppe (VSI), and Natural Health (NHTC), which dropped a respective 6.4%, 5%, and 15.4% after the Department of Justice said in a media advisory that it would announce actions related to dietary supplements sales and unlawful ads. Shares in the publicly traded companies came off their lows, but did not fully recover heading into the close, after the agency announced that its criminal case was charging USPlabs and that its five civil cases were against a number of smaller businesses. Also lower was SunEdison (SUNE), which fell $1.54, or 33.74%, to $3.02, with Oppenheimer attributing the selloff to "unsubstantiated rumors" regarding its liquidity and Deutsche Bank saying language in Vivint Solar's (VSLR) quarterly filing around SunEdison debt financing could concern some investors who are focused on the balance sheet. Additionally, Adeptus (ADPT) declined 22.3% to $46.50 after an NBC affiliate published an investigative report scrutinizing billing practices at freestanding emergency rooms in Colorado. INDEXES: The Dow rose 6.49, or 0.04%, to 17,489.50, the Nasdaq gained 1.40, or 0.03%, to 4,986.02, and the S&P 500 slipped 2.75, or 0.13%, to 2,050.44.

On The Fly: Top stock stories at midday
Stocks on Wall Street were higher at midday after better than expected earnings from Wal-Mart (WMT) and Home Depot (HD) helped the Dow build on yesterday's gains. The market also received a boost from an in-line consumer prices report, which may give the Fed the ammunition it needs to begin to raising interest rates from their record-low levels. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the consumer price index rose 0.2% in October, as expected. When food and energy prices are stripped out, the "core" CPI also rose 0.2%, also matching the consensus forecast. Industrial production slid 0.2% in October, versus expectations for it to have risen 0.1%. Capacity utilization came in as expected at 77.5%. NAHB's home builder sentiment index fell 3 points to 62 in November, versus expectations for a reading of 64. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Wal-Mart advanced nearly 5% after the world's largest retailer reported better than expected quarterly earnings and gave a fiscal year profit outlook that was higher than expected at the midpoint of the company's range. As part of its report, Wal-Mart noted that comp sales at Walmart U.S. rose 1.5% in the quarter compared to last year, marking the fifth consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales growth. Another retail giant and fellow Dow member, Home Depot, gained more than 3.5%. Missing out on the retail rally, however, was Dick's Sporting Good (DKS), which tumbled over 9.5% after giving guidance for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2015 that both missed consensus estimates. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Nuance (NUAN), which rallied 17% after analysts raised their price targets on the company's stock following upbeat fourth quarter earnings. Also higher was TJX (TJX), which gained 4% after reporting quarterly earnings and guiding for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2016. Among the notable losers was SunEdison (SUNE), which fell 21% after Deutsche Bank lowered its price target on the company's shares to $16 from $28. Also lower was Urban Outfitters (URBN), which fell 8% after no fewer than three analyst downgraded the company's shares following its Q3 earnings report. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 39.99, or 0.23%, to 17,523.00, the Nasdaq was up 17.91, or 0.36%, to 5,002.53, and the S&P 500 was up 3.54, or 0.17%, to 2,056.73.

Earnings Watch: Home Depot reports following recent rout among retailers
Home Depot (HD), a home improvement retailer, is scheduled to report third quarter results before the market opens on Tuesday, November 17, with a conference call scheduled for 9:00 am ET. EXPECTATIONS: Analysts are looking for earnings per share of $1.32 on revenue of $21.76B, according to First Call. The consensus range for EPS is $1.28-$1.37 on revenue of $21.16B-$22B. LAST QUARTER: On August 18, Home Depot reported second quarter adjusted EPS of $1.71 on revenue of $24.83B, generally in line with analysts' consensus estimates of $1.71 and $24.69B, respectively. The company said same-store sales increased 4.2% year-over-year, with U.S. SSS up 5.7%. The company raised its fiscal year 2015 EPS growth view to 13% from 11%-12% and its FY15 revenue growth forecast to 5.2%-6% from 4%-4.6%. The company previously raised its FY15 EPS growth view to 11%-12% and revenue growth view to 4.2%-4.8% from 3.5%-4.7%. Home Depot also said it sees FY15 SSS to be up 4.1%-4.9% y/y, an increase from its prior view of 4%-4.6% growth. Home Depot said at the time that it expected to repurchase an additional $3.9B of shares during the remainder of the year for a total of $7B. NEWS: On its last earnings conference call, Home Depot said the increased guidance reflects the outperformance of Q2 and the expected benefits of the Interline Brands acquisition. The company also noted that it will tap the long-term debt markets in the fall. During the quarter, Home Depot completed the $1.63B acquisition of Interline. STREET RESEARCH: UBS raised its price target on Home Depot to $138 from $129 on the day after its last earnings release, saying it sees several factors that could drive upside, including the addition of the Interline platform and system enhancements. PRICE ACTION: Last week, while retailers Macy's (M), Nordstrom (JWN) and numerous others in the space reported worse than expected quarterly results and gave downbeat guidance, Home Depot shares declined about 4.7%. Over the last three months, Home Depot shares are up about 1%. In early trading ahead of Tuesday's earnings, shares in Home Depot slipped about 0.25% to $119.74.

Jolie-Pitt magic at the movies!
Angelina Jolie took all six kids to see "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" in London on Friday, a source tells Us Weekly. Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 6, Shiloh, 5, and 3-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne joined their mom at the Richmond Odeon theater for a private screening of the intense, final "Harry Potter" film.
RELATED: PHOTOS: More adorable pics of Viv and Knox
Brad Pitt didn't join his brood for their cinematic adventure. The family is in the UK where Pitt, 47, is filming the zombie flick World War Z. Jolie spent the weekend in Hollywood, and was spotted shopping with Shiloh and Zahara on Sunday.
RELATED: PHOTOS: Shiloh's sophisticated style
An insider says the Jolie-Pitts "bought a lot of food" for their afternoon at the movies. "All the kids had hot dogs, and they had popcorn and drinks. They looked like they had a great time!"
RELATED: PHOTOS: Maddox's best hairstyles
The "Salt" actress was spotted outside the theater carrying Viv on her hip and holding hands with Knox. Viv looked adorable in a floral pink dress; Knox mirrored his mom's outfit, donning aviator shades and a long-sleeved black shirt.
"They didn't say if they'd be back," a theater insider tells Us. "But they'd be very welcome. We have a few famous residents in Richmond, but nobody as famous as [Angelina]!"

Our Beliefs
Is our existence on this earth only a matter of pure chance? Are we anything more than a bunch of chemicals that go back to the ground when we die? If you believe that the "Big Bang" proves that there is no God - what was there before the Big Bang? Is there any meaning to this life let alone the next?
These are hard but exciting questions! At Crofton we believe that God is the controlling hand behind our universe; that human life is not just a matter of chance and that God wants to be part of our lives. Indeed, Jesus is recorded as saying in the Bible that he came to earth that we "may have life, and have it to the full". Jesus wasn't just talking about the after-life: he said that he wants us to live life to the full now while we are still living on this earth!
The Bible clearly teaches that there is a gulf between man and God that cannot be crossed by our own human efforts (whether we think we are inherently "good" people or not). The Bible also teaches that Jesus came to earth to tell us how we could be reconciled to God: his death made that reconciliation possible. We cannot enjoy living to the full as Jesus envisaged unless we are willing to come to God and seek reconciliation. Being reconciled to God means not only that we can look forward with confidence to going to heaven when we die, but also that we can be forgiven, renewed and transformed while still living on this earth!
If you would like to know more about the Christian faith then why not come along to one of our services (or to the Alpha course next time it is running), or alternatively please feel free to e-mail us any questions you may have by clicking here.
To be a resourcing church
To be intentional disciples of Jesus
To do church in different ways
Our Core Values
At Crofton we seek to live by the following core values, namely:
Kingdom-focused life - we recognise that we are subject to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. We actively seek to proclaim and joyfully celebrate the growth of God's kingdom in all aspects of our lives
Word-centred life - we are confident in the living authority and trustworthiness of the Bible as God's written word to us in all matters of faith and lifestyle. We believe that Jesus Christ himself is the complete and eternal Word of God to humanity
Spirit-empowered life - we actively seek the presence, pleasure and purposes of God for all his people. Thus we eagerly desire the fullness of the Holy Spirit in the life of our church so that we may clearly and maturely display the glory of Jesus Christ
Fully-consecrated life - we are dedicated to being disciples of Jesus whose daily lives are marked by ongoing spiritual growth and maturity, and the discipling of others
Compassion motivated life - we are motivated by the love of God and the life of Jesus to work for local, national and global justice both in terms of human society and the natural environment
Prayer-filled life - we are committed to personal and corporate prayer & worship as a vital means of living intimacy with God and as the wellspring of all ministry, mission and maturity in Jesus Christ

I agree with you here that to start out you need to do everything yourself. Once you have built a better mouse trap and have a revenue flow, it is the time to figure out how to spend the money. So that you are getting the right ROI.
There's only some much time. At some point you will need to spend money. If not on ads, money can be spent on promotion and content.
But you are right that most people waste their money. They do not spend it wisely or don't even know how to manage ppc, etc.

Post subject: Heavy Armor and Heavy Weapons - Fights vs. Gargantuans
Hi all
A little too afraid of Clint to ask this in the official rules forum, so asking it here instead
I'm running the Flood and unevitably some Maze Dragons will soon cross my posse's way
very minor spoiler wrote:
as can be found in the northern most glyph location
So I'm preparing the fight
(and a dungeon for it - any suggestions or experiences by GMs who already ran this are MOST welcome, by the way)
and read the stats for the maze dragons.
As they're gargantuan, they can only be hurt by heavy weapons...
And the only heavy weapons I found in all of the Deadlands books, are
- the Burst Power (none of my players has an appropriate AB) or
- 8+ sticks of dynamite.
So in order to not get a guaranteed TPK (or a one-man-show by the only guy who can handle dynamite pretty well), what options do I have?
I thought of aimed shots at the eyes, but that sounds too easy as well, and wouldn't/shouldn't kill the creatures...
Then, I read somewhere that flamethrowers ignore armor, but should they just as easily ignore heavy armor, too?
Thanks in advance, a rather puzzled Marshal

Called shots are an option, but one you're not fond of.
Additional options include:
Cannons. Artillery fire can damage anything, including a Maze Dragon (i.e. is a Heavy Weapon).
As of Deluxe edition, the
power is a Heavy Weapon. (May not be available though.)
Ramming. Sure, it will probably beat the hell out of the vessel, but collisions can harm Heavy Armor vehicles (even when the other vehicle is not HA), so it seems like a valid way to damage maze dragons.
. Tie the darn thing up and sail right by.
Avoiding the Fight. Seriously, just because it is there doesn't mean that they have to slay it. Just ensure that there are ways to move around that let them do the job without being eaten. (And if the players don't use those ways
they deserve their character deaths.)
Good luck.

Hi Valhalla
Thanks for the ideas. I came up with the avoiding one myself (grabbing all sorts of food available as prey for the dragons and then sneaking in in the meantime...
We'll see. As noted above, in that case my posse WOULD more or less have to confront the dragons, as they need to get directly into their lair...
But yeah, maybe they surprise me

I don't think this is necessarily a problem you have to solve. It's a problem the PCs have to solve! Just don't ambush them with the dragon... let them know of it or see it far enough ahead that they can think of a way to deal with the dragon and then play it out naturally. Players are good at that sort of thing.
You could also let them do the called shots not to do damage, but to slow the beast down. Shoot its eyes or nostrils or maw to make it back off and shake its head and blink tears for a round and give you a chance to run for it or do something else clever.

Hi Ten
Fully agreed. Doesn't hurt to have some scenarios in my mind before the session, though.
By the way, if someone runs the flood or wants his posse enter a maze dragon's lair, here's some WoW screenshots I modified and a map my wife made for me:
(obviously, 6/7 are player handouts, the big one is the DIN A3 size map (including dragon eggs corner, baby/toddler corner and young'ones pool) to be used in the session)

The National Headquarters of Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. Inc. building is seen in Torrance, Calif. on April 28, 2014. Toyota said Monday that it will move its U.S. headquarters from California to Texas. / AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes
Osamu Nagata
Michigan got good automotive news this week from Toyota, which is moving 250 purchasing jobs from Kentucky to its technical center near Ann Arbor even as the Japanese auto giant shifts its U.S. headquarters and 3,000 other jobs from southern California to Plano, Texas.
Thats on top of similar good news a month ago from auto parts maker BorgWarner, which is expanding its powertrain technical center in Auburn Hills, adding up to 200 jobs there.
Michigan expects more good news sometime soon about auto-related investments from Europe, following a trade mission there in March by Gov. Rick Snyder.
Theres a whole stack of pretty sizable companies poised to make expansions in Michigan, said Nigel Francis, Snyders auto industry adviser, who accompanied the governor to a series of meetings in Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Milan and Turin.
These are all positive signs amid the ever-shifting geography of the global auto industry that Michigan is retaining, even strengthening, its status as a hub for automotive research and development, engineering, design and supply chain jobs.
■ Related: Snyder planning third trade mission to Asia this fall
Osamu (Simon) Nagata, president and CEO of Toyota Engineering & Manufacturing North America, told me he expects the consolidation of engineering and purchasing staffs near Ann Arbor, bringing Toyotas head count there to 1,400, will help his people be more flexible and open-minded to accept new ideas proposed by North American suppliers. With the recent appointment of Ann Arbor based Monte Kaehr as chief engineer for the 2015 Camry, Toyota now has chief engineers based in Michigan for five of its models.
Nagata said Toyota hasnt decided on future expansion in the state but there are many areas where we may need to put more engineering resources, like electronics, connectivity and environment, he added.
The one ominous threat to continued growth of well-paying, white-collar automotive jobs in the Detroit region, however, is a talent gap. Michigan universities may graduate more electrical and manufacturing engineers than any other state, but reports persist that some skills are in short supply and some jobs are hard to fill.
Francis said the state will soon commission a study to define the so-called talent gap in auto-related fields. It will be led by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor and completed by the end of this year or early 2015. Once weve got that, we can make data-driven decisions on what to do about it, so were not trying to pin the tail on the donkey, he said.
■ Related: Ford could exceed commitment to add 12,000 jobs by 2016
■ Related: GM starts work on Pontiac race development center
Its crucial that Michigan retain its competitive edge to remain an industry hub for highly skilled jobs. Aside from General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, manufacturing and marketing functions of other automakers are likely to stay outside Michigan.
Toyotas new headquarters will be near Dallas, while its plants are in Kentucky, Indiana and Texas. Hyundai has sales and design operations in California, a plant in Alabama and an engineering center in Ann Arbor.
Volkswagens assembly plant is in Tennessee and marketing staff are in Virginia, but the German automaker has invested $12 million in Auburn Hills since 2008 and grown employment there from 600 then to 1,400, in customer relations, finance and engineering.
The auto industry will never dominate Michigans economy to the extent it did 50 years ago, but if the state can enhance its reputation as a brainpower and innovation hub for advanced manufacturing, it can reverse the precipitous jobs decline during the 21st Centurys opening decade.
That why Francis and others in local auto industry circle seemed genuinely delighted this week by Toyotas decision to move 250 procurement jobs here from Kentucky.
Its very positive for us, a win-win, said Francis. We get the high-paying, white-collar jobs that are going to be here for a long time. Toyota has just made a 20- to 30-year decision; we should be slapping ourselves on the back. ... Weve got the people here that will make the decisions on future products, and the suppliers that want business from them will have to be here as well, close to the people making the decisions.

Mum and dad accused of neglecting their children for years could not be sentenced due to a legal dispute
Posted: May 29, 2014|
A MUM and dad who willfully neglected their children for several years were not sentenced at Gloucester Crown Court yesterday because of a dispute between prosecution and defence.
The county pair, who cannot be named, do not accept some aspects of the prosecution case – particularly about their alleged failure to keep medical appointments for the children.
Judge Jamie Tabor QC adjourned the case so prosecution and defence lawyers can confer and, if necessary, a trial of issue can be held to resolve the dispute.
Steve Young, defending, said prosecution assertions that the mother had prevented her children from seeing doctors and visiting clinics and hospitals were not accepted.
Related content
He had checked the medical records and she had kept 120 appointments with her children and missed only about 25, he said. "It is not accepted that she was obstructive to health professionals," he added.
She also maintained that a probation officer who interviewed her for a pre-sentence report had told her she would recommend a suspended jail sentence but had not done so, said Mr Young.
At the last hearing the prosecution said the couple neglected the children in a filthy, stinking house for "many years", despite teachers, social workers and health professionals knowing of their plight.
Judge Tabor said it was clear prosecution and defence were "miles apart" on many aspects of the case and it would be necessary to try to sort out the differences. "We cannot have someone being sentenced on a basis where a defendant and her advocate are saying 'this is simply not right'," he said.
He granted the couple bail, saying if their claims are accepted by the court it could make a significant difference to the length of jail sentence they receive and whether it is suspended.
All the children are now in care. A date for the next hearing has not yet been set.

Over the past five or so years, pho has gone from an often mispronounced soup only found in cities with a high concentration of Vietnamese citizens to a culinary obsession. I credit the Food Networkification of the Travel Channel and Middle America's discovery of Anthony Bourdain, one of the most forceful benefactors and advocates for the heavily spiced beef noodle soup. Pho is amazingly delicious and while hailing from a region with incredible heat, it is really the perfect winter meal. A favorite sight of mine is driving down Broadway and seeing Pho Xe Tang's windows completely fogged up. That is living right there folks. Steam and slurping everywhere.
I am not claiming to be early to the party when it comes to pho, nearly the opposite.
