Comments by Keith Vlasak
On the character Lisbon, I want to say on her "He's there for me" comment that the character has had 2 partners who've mangled the law and she's had to cover for both of them (and Jane as a partner has gotten her suspended for what he's done and put her in the spot of having to punch a suspect to get him released on Jane's behalf, even if she was then in trouble with her superiors) -- and maybe she didn't so much doubt Jane's need for her was legitimate as much as beginning to wonder if it couldn't have waited so she could have a life, or is that too much to ask of her partner, especially when this new guy wants to be there for her, not her be there for him!
Jonas: I disagree with you (although I have read books or seen movies or TV shows where I liked different characters better and wanted relationships myself that didn't happen). I'm not always happy with the Penny-Leonard relationship from week to week (and I do agree the writers fall back on clichés too often for the comedy, like Leonard is a no-confidence wuss and Penny's a shallow slut/drunk); however, the original premise of the show, which was what interested me right from the start was the unlikely friendship and love and eventual sex between a wallflower nerd and a shallow fox, which (but not all the time and not enough) changes both of them, but especially the hot chick who (sometimes is actually in love but) can't go back to slutting around with dumb body builder types. That is, Penny is only even friends with any of the others because of how Leonard turned over her world and (the premise is still valid) won her love.
I don't like Mycroft at all. He seems to be a criminal to me -- and, the kindest view I can take is that the show's driving force believes all rich people are evil criminals, perhaps, and so Mycroft and his father just happen to be partners with criminals as normal to doing business. Don't know, but boy is Watson naive when it comes to Mycroft, who obviously would even go so far as killing her to get whatever it is he wants (or has been instructed to arrange regarding his brother).
I wanted to mention too the best moment was Espo sliding off the car!!
In the episode Jane and Lisbon helicoptered into that bio-research site ... When Jane lied about the virus being released, Lisbon punched him in the nose. Of course, to me that's more something a cop-partner would do than a love-interest.
Since politics-all-the-time in Hollywood is a sore spot with me, maybe I'm seeing something that isn't there, admittedly -- however, I took Fischer's comment as a dig on conservatives, her saying the system worked as being what imagined evil Republicans think, that everybody should be executed for littering or anything and too bad if innocent people die. That is, it sure seems to me that they gratuitously stuck an indefensible opposing viewpoint in -- and my suspicion is that it was politics.
I really didn't take Jane's comments to Lisbon as Jane being jealous. Lisbon would be awkward about personal matters around Jane just because they'd been partners, which is less than marriage but tighter than friends or classmates or something, and so Jane could make comment or ask questions of the most personal nature which Lisbon would be obligated to answer (if Jane pushed, so, I thought, she was constantly ducking her head and kept moving so he wouldn't).
Is it possible they threw in the line shrugging off Jane and Lisbon hooking up as a message to the shippers that it's way far off from anything likely to happen? I wonder about the Crawford-Stanwyck difference. I was thinking the possible difference was that Stanwyck plays warmer characters and Crawford, to me, seems so cold and aloof, tossing off lines to peasants -- but, yeah, I can picture a lot of snappy lines from Stanwyck.
I've never seen what the shippers were interpreting either. Jane and Lisbon were partners, which in life or death situations and the trust implied is a pretty tight relationship, but it's not romantic. Right now, with Fischer taking up space and the working situation in the FBI office not formed even after so many episodes, Jane and Lisbon now remind me of ex-partners Bosco and Lisbon with that level of repartee only. I miss their being partners and hope for better if Fischer is resolved. A big if ...
I think that there was conflict with her early on, but now she just enters from off stage and says, "We've got a case," and takes Jane out into the field somewhere and then seems to have nothing more to do with the case. If/when she complains about him abandoning her someplace, she's cut off before she can even complete the sentence and the plot moves on with her back on the sidelines. The little she does, Lisbon could do instead (that Fischer gets screen time that could be Lisbon's is the conflict, and that's not in the story, but in the fans). My opinion is she's not a hate character anymore.

Debate part 2
The other Thompson delves into the "pro-choice" position, saying it is a problem for the Catholic church. (Gotta think this is a loser argument and turns off far many than it persuades.) McCain asked about importance of abortion. McCain says abortion has to do with "national security" because it goes too our respect for life. He gets back on firmer ground saying national security is the key and he is the most qualified and needs no on the job training. Ron Paul sounds like Nancy Pelosi advocating immediate withdrawal from Iraq. Lots of Ron Paul cheers. Duncan Hunter analogizes to Cold War. Mentions progress in Anbar and Democrats failure to "pause in rush to the exits" despite improved news. Huckabee makes pitch for oil independence. George asks McCain about failure to meet benchmarks. McCain says of course we stay and expresses disappointment with Iraqi government. Says we "are winning." Argues we will win debate in September and we won't set a date for withdrawl. Rudy reminds us again that Democrats never say Islamic fundamentalism. Restates we should seek victory and mentions Brookings op-ed editorial noting "we might just win." Makes the argument that if we can bring stability [no appeals to democracy here] we will have won. Romney echoes McCain and Rudy. Has a very funny Obama joke, saying he went from "Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove."

Tea Party Insider
Rep. Steve Southerland and the GOP class of 2010 make peace with the House leadership, and vice versa
Apr 1, 2013, Vol. 18, No. 28 • By JONATHAN STRONG
In spite of, or maybe because of, his battles with leadership, Boehner in April 2012 appointed Southerland to his first conference committee, a group of senators and representatives convened to hash out the differences between House and Senate versions of a transportation bill.
Southerland and his freshman friends showed up to their assigned working groups surprised to find aides representing the senators.
"I'm going: I think the American people think that if you're named to a conference . . . you're going to go and represent the people," he said.
The conference process gave Southerland his first up-close exposure to the challenge of getting a bill through the House and the Senate and signed into law by the president, something that's simple on paper but hard in reality.
"You started realizing: You know what? There's a lot that goes into this. . . . It opened my eyes up to the effort. It opened my eyes up to the challenges," Southerland said.
By the time the class representative slot fell vacant in December, it was clear Southerland had become a class standout. Rep. James Lankford, R-Okla., another sharp sophomore Republican, told Southerland he should consider running, pointing out his relationships across the class.
Southerland was elected class representative the day after Boehner survived as speaker. A week later, at a retreat where Southerland sat down as a member of the leadership team for the first time, he told Boehner of his late-night change of heart. "He thanked me. I think that it helped him understand me. I think that the conversation we had helped me understand him. Look, none of us are perfect," Southerland said.
Boehner, for his part, began to change his approach. He vowed to preserve "regular order," meaning he would no longer engage Obama in secret negotiations.
At the Republican retreat in Williamsburg, Virginia, in January, Boehner sought the input of a working group of five influential conservatives—Paul Ryan, Tom Price, Jeb Hensarling, Steve Scalise, and Jim Jordan—on a new approach to the pending debt ceiling standoff.
The proceedings there produced almost shocking unity on the resulting plan: a short-term debt limit increase attached to a relatively modest demand—for the Senate to finally pass a budget. One reason was several commitments Boehner made to the working group on spending levels, including that the GOP budget would eliminate the deficit in only 10 years.
Most important, the House is now focused almost entirely on pushing the Senate to act, on the budget and everything else. "We're trying to explain to the American people: The Senate's not doing its work. Last term, we passed stuff, passed stuff, passed stuff—and it would just sit there and die!" McCarthy said.
That approach limits moments of political exposure, internally and externally, otherwise known as votes. If the House maintains its current pace, it could set a record for inactivity.
Conservatives are happy, since Boehner is holding firm on the sequestration spending cuts. Moderates might be concerned, but they show no signs of panic.
There's a school of thought that all the chaos and conflict over the fiscal cliff helped the GOP work through its internal issues.
"Would they have come out of Williamsburg united if it wasn't for the confrontation?" asks Landry. "By having that conflict . . . I actually believe we're stronger," McCarthy said.
Asked a question about the tests ahead for the GOP, Southerland points to the long scar on his head. As a boy, he was nearly killed in a baseball accident in the fifth inning when he collided with another player chasing a fly ball. His last memory of the game is from the second inning when his coach made him bunt.
"One thing I learned a long time ago," he said. "When I'm in the second inning, I don't worry about the fifth."

Branch Banking Measure Signed amid Concerns
Tipton, David, THE JOURNAL RECORD
House Bill 1679, authored by Rep. Steve Lewis, D-Shawnee, was signed by the governor late Wednesday. Provisions of the measure go into effect immediately.
House Bill 1679 would allow a bank to be acquired by other bank for branching purposes before that bank is declared insolvent.
State law had required that banks have to be closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. before they could be acquired by other banks for branching purposes.
"Principally, this law will be a major step toward the orderly consolidation of banks in Oklahoma," Bellmon was quoted as saying in a press release issued Thursday.
"It does not permit the opening of new branches of existing banks, rather it encourages purchase of banks as branches of existing banks. In other words, the branches will be created by acquisition only.
"In this sense, it is protective of our banking system," Bellmon concluded.
While Bellmon was commending the merits of House Bill 1679 and its potential effect on Oklahoma's banking community, the House Banking and Finance Committee was approving an amendment to a housecleaning bill for the banking commission, which Osborn fears might circumvent the new law.
The amendment to Senate Bill 501 provides that a bank may appoint and authorize other banks as its agents in order for customers to make deposits, withdrawals and transfers between accounts, if 50 percent of more of the outstanding stock of such banks is owned by the same stockholders.
Meanwhile, Osborn said that although the new branching law probably will not put an end to bank closings, it may prevent a few closings from occurring in the near future.
"This may start off slow; mostly what we'll see will be banks obtaining smaller banks controlled by the same holding company," he said.
"I don't think it will put a stop to bank closings in Oklahoma but I think it will prevent some from happening two or three years down the road," Osborn added. "The new law is important because it will help reduce the overhead costs that cause problems for many banks. …

White House Insider: " President Stood His Ground "

We received a brief email update from our White House Insider, indicating a president returning from abroad "dejected and confused" and "emotionally debilitated" over the cold reception he received from world leaders, and White House staff now scrambling to protect the president from a looming scandal.
Author's Note: This email is the most recent communication we received from the White House Insider. Though brief, it outlines a president clearly suffering from considerable doubt and uncertainty as he prepares for the third year of his presidency, and a Democratic Party that continues to wage war among its own.
Hello again. Assume you noted all of the incoming by Democrats against Pres? Of particular note is that of Doug S. Doug has been acting as Hillary's gadfly for some time now. Very connected. Very insightful. Very good. One to be feared. I like Doug. His and Pat's open declaration against President is clear signal Hillary camp fully engaged. Developing. And gotta love Pat. He's back in it now! I strongly suspect they know of Obama's coming scandal(s). Foundation being set in place for all out offensive going into 2012. The DC diaper is full up and in need of a change…
As for particulars on Obama, much info received this past week. All pointing to Obama as very upset/angry at treatment by world leaders and media RE trip. Behind scenes mood "dejected and confused". Later noted as "emotionally debilitated". Reported outburst between President and First Lady. What makes this account unique is that "…President stood his ground." WH staff involved in serious protective plan for President regarding incoming scandal. Very fearful of Issa. Told WH reps have already visited Issa office several times since election. Promises made? Issa is bright and loves attention. Could prove formidable vs White House. Staff sent to Chicago this past week and DA is heading there on more permanent basis in coming weeks. Why? Why indeed. PAY ATTENTION.
Lastly RE question on "missile" off CA. I have no -expletive- clue what that was. Go ahead and file that question with your birther question from last time. Any more of these and you'll be waiting another month or two or ten before we have next sit down.
Talk soon. Maybe.
Maybe not.

Hello Bike Forums Members!
Just a quick introduction for you...I am 42yrs old, married with 2 boys and living in northwestern Alberta (the Peace Country). I've been biking off and on throughout my life, but I want to learn alot more about bike touring. Long distance biking / camping / finding synergies with Biking & Kayaking. I have a strong outdoors background, being ex-military and having worked many years in the outdoors. I teach outdoor survival and continually upgrade my knowledge and skills in that area (my prime focus in the outdoors).
Anything I can learn abouit bike touring, kit, etc. from this group will be valued and appreciated!

Symphony No. 3 en
The Symphony No. 3 by Robert Simpson was written in 1962 and dedicated to veteran composer Havergal Brian. The premiere was given by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra on 14 March, 1963 under the conductor Hugo Rignold. Its BBC Proms premiere was given by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on 21 August, 1967 under the conductor Charles Groves. The US premiere was given by the Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra on 8 December, 1974 under its then Music Director, Ainslee Cox. The orchestration is fairly standard, except Simpson required all three flutes to double on piccolos. The work lasts about 31 minutes in performance and is in two movements: Allegro ma non troppo Adagio - Presto In two movements, this Symphony conflicts C major and B-flat. The first movement is a dissonant, craggy sonata-allegro in B flat which strays into the orbit of C. The model of this movement has some parallels with the first movement of Symphony No. 9 by Ludwig van Beethoven, but it is still highly individual. Simpson described the second movement as 'a huge composed accelerando, but with the dynamics repressed'. It is really a slow movement and finale, and the tempo is always increasing. [ - ]

California State Univ Northridge- teaching credential
I am an experienced, certificated teacher and tutor who has enjoyed teaching for many years. I have taught whole classes, small groups and individual students of all ages. I love learning and teaching, am very enthusiastic about helping others understand and practice English/Language Arts skills. I have many fun activities for learning and practicing reading, writing,speaking, and listening. English is my first language. I enjoy helping others read, write, speak, listen and build vocabulary in English. I do know some Spanish and French and enjoy working with people learning English as a second language.
I have a TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language) certificate, have traveled a lot, and enjoy learning other languages. I have the background, experience, certification, and enthusiasm to be the tutor for you!
My tutoring methods are friendly, fun, and effective. For example, my student and I may play a match it game with important vocabulary words and their definitions. We also might do "popcorn" reading, taking turns to read important passages signaling a change in the reader by saying ,"popcorn!"
I introduce helpful prewriting exercises, such as a Venn Diagram, or "Brainstorm" bubbles, to stimulate and organize the writing process.
I have many resources from my years of teaching and my training. These resources(flashcards, for example) will help you excel in reading and writing skills for any subject in which reading comprehension and writing are useful.

Great job - My daughter went from an unsatisfactory student to excellent. My daughter now enjoys school and looks forward to new challenges.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have a current California multiple subject teaching credential. I have taught in California for 22 years in the Palmdale School District, and 3 additional years as a substitute teacher and a tutor. I have attended school district offered inservices on teaching students with special needs. I have been responsible for teaching all subjects to students with ADHD and ADD. I have had success with these students.
Some of the techniques I have used with success include providing structured, predictable procedures, give positive feedback often, focus on the student's strengths, redirect student's nonproductive behaviors, provide one-on-one instruction, break assignments down into smaller, achievable tasks, adjust the number of problems/activities to be completed, use different modalities for learning.
I have taken the CBEST test and passed the first time I took it. I have been actively involved in education for decades in the Antelope valley. Consequently, I have kept abreast of current teaching pedegogies and the skills needed to pass the CBEST test. I am already certified in STUDY SKILLS through WyzAnt. I feel that knowledge and experience of teaching study skills methods and my extensive experience with current teaching practices and pedagogy could qualify me as certified in teaching CBEST test preparation.
I have a multiple subject clear California teaching credential. I have taught all subjects to students grades K through sixth. I have taught language arts,which includes reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I have also taught math, including number sense(place value, rounding,etc.), adding, subtracting, multiplying, and division. I have taught problem solving(word problems), geometry, measurement, and algebra.
Additionally, I have taught science, including geology, botany, marine biology, ecology, the periodic table of elements(chemistry), and the scientific process. While teaching social studies I have covered subjects such as geography and maps, history (Antelope valley, world, ancient, U.S.), and cultural awareness.
I have been trained to teach English as a second language. I have a Clear CLAD (Crosscutural, Language and Academic Development) Certificate. I took courses and a test to obtain this certificate. I have taught second language learners for 15 years and have developed effective, yet fun, techniques, to promote language learning for all students.
Additionally, I have TESOL/TEFL/ESL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages/Teaching English as a Foreign Language/Teaching English as a Second Language)certification. I achieved this by attending and passing an Oxford Seminar course. This course included 60 hours of training which included: lesson planning, classroom management techniques, skills development(grammar, pronunciation, listening, speaking, reading, and writing), teaching strategies, teaching multi-level classes, and a teaching practicum.
I have a current California Teaching Credential. I have taught in California puplic schools for 22 years. I have taught all grades k-8. I taught 3rd grade for six years. During those six years I became especially experienced in teaching phonics. I became of aware of difficulties students tend to have with English phonics and utilized successful strategies to help them overcome difficulties and excel in phonics.
Besides the training I received as a credential student, I have attended many inservices as a teacher over the decades and have kept abreast of new techniques and procedures to help students learn phonics.
I have taken and taught many prealgebra courses. I have taken and passed with 100% the Wyzant prealgebra test for certification in this subject. I know how to start with determining where students are "stuck" and get them through this, and/or continue on with the subject from the point they are at and help them excel at comprehending prealgebra vital concepts.
I have a current Clear Multiple Subject California Teaching Credential. I have taught in public education for more than 20 years. My school stressed the importance of study skills and AVID training, which specifically addresses study skills, was utilized there. As a classroom teacher I have always addressed this very essential component to student success.
Jill V. passed a background check on 5/23/11. The check was ordered by Jill through First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
After sending a message to Jill, you will be able to order a new background check for $7.99. As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

20 apartments for rent near Allendale, Baltimore, MD
Apartments in Allendale, Baltimore, MD
Neighborhoods in Baltimore, Maryland are officially divided into nine geographical regions, named by their direction on the compass: Northern, Northwestern, Northeastern, etc. Edmondson is located in the western section of Baltimore, and Allendale is a neighborhood within Edmondson. The area is located north of Frederick Avenue, and south of the Gwynns Falls Parkway, Leakin and Gwynns Falls Parks. A major thoroughfare, US Hwy 40/Edmondson Avenue, bisects the neighborhood from east to west.
Allendale and its .55 square miles can be described as a family-oriented community with well-maintained and attractive homes – mostly row houses – on tree-lined streets. The neighborhood's population is 4,190, making it less dense than nearby Baltimore; Allendale has 7,547 people per square mile compared to Baltimore's 8,058.
One of Allendale's neighborhood resources is the Senior Cybernet Program operated by Baltimore Housing. Eligible senior citizens receive access to computers, training in various software programs, email and the Internet at no cost.
Another resource is the recreation center. Formerly the site of a small field house, Edgewood Recreation Center became Baltimore's first recreation center in more than 30 years when the "Grandmothers of Edgewood" – Dolly Jefferson, Estella Willette, Margaret Bracey, Jacquiline Johnson and Gladys Jackson – lobbied legislators for the funds to replace the old field house. In 2005 Edgewood Recreation Center was opened and serves Allendale and adjacent neighborhoods.
High schools in the area are Edmondson and Southwestern.

Pecan Basin Cates/Clawson Reserve
This 155-acre property on the Wabash River in southwestern Fountain County includes 3/8 of a mile of river frontage with mature floodplain forest. Bottomland fields, which had been in corn/ bean production at the time of NICHES purchase, were reforested in 2001, an upland section upslope of the Wabash and Erie Canal was reforested the same year. East of the parking lot and across the road is a mature upland forest that still retains a nice variety of native plants.
A short section of the Wabash and Erie Canal cuts across the property north to south. The canal portion has completely filled in, but the towpath is still present.
Pecan Basin was acquired in December, 2000, with the assistance of grants from the Wabash River Heritage Corridor Commission, the Roy L. Whistler Foundation, and the Covington Community Foundation.
Ducks Unlimited reforested the bottomlands with the help of a grant from Cinergy Corporation. Pheasants Forever supplied native grass seeds for reseeding six acres of bottomland under the high tension power lines.
A half-mile paved handicap accessible asphalt loop trail leads from the parking lot to the corner of the old Wabash and Erie Canal and back. Across the road a and up the hill, offers a wonderful panorama of the Wabash River Valley.
- Turkey Run State Parkis twelve miles southeast of Pecan Basin
- The Indiana Department of Natural Resources's Portland Arch, a dedicated state Nature Preserve, lies fifteen miles to the north.
How to Get There
From Perrysville, take State Road 32 east to Silver Island Road (the first road to the right). Follow the river south on this road for 1 1/2 miles to its intersection with Liberty Church Road, Pecan Basin's southern boundary. The lowlands are to your right, the uplands to your left.
The coordinates for the parking lot are: N 40° 01.584′ , W 87° 25.103′.

One of the things I'm currently wrestling with regarding my own writing (my hoped-for novel still very much in the planning stages) is how to incorporate important information about my setting without slipping into infodumps or awkward dialogue. Ideally, I'd want to build up this world in the backdrop, but moving the information from my (extensive!) notes into the actual writing, and ensuring the right details are established well enough for certain essential points of the plot to have impact, is going to be tough.
I've got the novel and its background - plot, characters, themes, setting - like a model of a finished building in my mind, but actually bringing it into being is going to be tough.
You should give me a yell sometime. It's probably too complex to do here in forum posts, but we could chat about it. I am a
plotter. I love world-building, but I think I've gotten very good at figuring out what details flesh out your world while adding to the story, and which ones just devolve your narrative into authorial masturbation.

So I guess wind energy is out.
If the wind doesnt blow and the sun doesnt shine, everyone forgets about a clean power source that keep on generating electricity 24 hours a day.. nuclear power.. we need more of it..
How quickly we blame climate change... even when the average temperatures have been dropping since 1998. The planet is not a machine, that things are constant, consistent or predictable with great accuracy. Nor is the sun unchanging, which has an infinitely greater impact on the planet than so-called man-made CO2. Seriously... think about it.
The moderators of this blog do not believe this is an issue that is open for debate. If they did, they wouldn't allow the results of one suspicious "study" to trump the ongoing real-time empirical evidence you site.
Windy days are down in the Midwest due to climate change, which is the opposite of what the computer models have predicted. Maybe this condition is a result of the average global temperature DROPPING over the past eleven years (and still dropping). Then the observation would agree with the climate models which correlate higher temperatures with more wind. Lower temperatures would lead to less wind, no?
"If true...."
So it might not be true. If it might not be true, then it might be false. If it might be either true or false, it's no better than any other statement of any kind whatsoever. With the "if true" caveat, this article might as well say the opposite.
So climate change is a given: Whether the wind blows slower or faster is due to "climate change", and climate change only.
They call this science?!
Why report on a study that is to be released "later this summer"? The results of the study are disseminated as "fact" without any way to verify.
It's all about "belief", not what is verifiable or what is fact. These scientists and the media manipulate opinion, while relying on already misguided bias. They are not interested in accountability. It is science by consensus, science by trend, not science by science.
The WSJ knows better than this.
IF Ture, this raises the interesting possibility of decresed tornadosin the Midwest and less damaging hurricanes off the East coast and the Gulf of Mexico, No Windm No Storms, lesss electrical outages, lesscostly repairs. dON'T BET THE FARM.
So the winds are dying down, huh? ....then how about this article in Science Daily:
" ScienceDaily (June 11, 2009) — As a result of stronger winds caused by global warming, seeds and pollen are being carried over longer distances. An increase in temperature of only a couple of degrees may increase the dispersal of plants in Northern forests and the spread of plant species into forest clearings after felling or forest fires."
Climate "science" is a joke -- heavily based on computer modeling, which can't even predict if it will rain today.....these guys might as well be reading tea leaves & tarot cards...
Great post, Nimbo - it outlines what I thought I had been constantly told - "Global Warming = higher winds" - more hurricanes, tornadoes, etc. So this latest study must by "Climate Change" mean the upcoming "Global Cooling". Great! I'm glad they put that whole Global Warming nonsense to bed once and for all!!
Or are they really just still completely clueless. . . . <------Ozzie's vote.
yeah, i guess hurricanes don't count as wind.
what fools.

You probably never think of them until you desperately need your help, but the Warren County Rescue Squad is hoping you'll at least give them a passing thought in the next couple of days.
The squad is in the midst of a door-to-door fund-raising push, hoping to raise money to fund its $17,000 annual budget which is solely provided through donations and small community grants. This year, the squad is also hoping for donations of vehicles, since the current fleet is badly in need or replacement.
To donate cash or vehicles, you can call:
Warren Co. Rescue Squad: 783-3030
Chief Andy Tucker:991-9179

Argentina profile
- 17 March 2015
- From the section Latin America & Caribbean
President: Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner
Cristina Fernandez swept to victory in the first round of Argentina's presidential election in October 2007 - a victory that many attributed to the popularity of her husband, the then President Nestor Kirchner.
She fought the election campaign largely on Mr Kirchner's record of reducing poverty and unemployment in the wake of the 2001-2002 economic crisis - one of the worst the country had ever experienced.
It was widely believed that before his death in 2010 her husband, who was expected to stand again for the presidency, still ran the country behind the scenes.
However, buoyed by a booming economy, Ms Fernandez was re-elected to a second term with a landslide 54% of the vote in October 2011. Her closest challenger won only 17%.
But when economic problems re-emerged in the following year, President Fernandez struggled to get the country back on track.
Her party suffered setbacks in mid-term congressional elections in late 2013, and she shifted economic policy towards more state intervention in an attempt to kick-start growth.
A new crisis emerged in early 2015, when Alberto Nisman, the prosecutor charged with investigating the 1994 deadly bombing of a Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires, was found dead in suspicious circumstances.
A judge dismissed Mr Nisman's allegations that President Fernandez had covered up Iranian involvement in the bombing for lack of evidence. The president herself accused 'rogue agents' of the secret service of killing Mr Nisman.
Ms Fernandez was active in the leftist Peronist movement as a law student in the 1970s, and supported her husband as he rose through the party ranks, becoming a senator herself in 1995 and Mr Kirchner's chief adviser when he was elected president in 2003.

Re: Dining Near Paradise peir Hotel
I am assuming you are talking about the Paradise Pier Hotel at Disneyland Resort.
You are at one end of the Resort at the other end of Downtown Disney is Harbor Blvd, so it is a good 15-20 minute walk. But this has all of your standard chain resturants(Mc Donalds, Denny's, IHOP, Mimi's Cafe) and a couple other smaller places. This would be the cheapest places you could eat.
There are also several places in Downtown Disney that will be less than inside the Parks: Ralph Bermans(New Orleans), Napolini(Italian), La Brea Bakery(Sandwiches), Tortilla Joe's(Mexican). All of these places have Counter Service as well as Table Service. You might like ESPN Zone, it is relativly inexpensive table service and decent food.
