- GOP head seeks police report on Ritter safety concern
Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Beauprez said last week he had never heard of a federal database that tracks criminal activity across the country.
But last year, the congressman signed on as one of many co-sponsors of a bill that set requirements for reporting immigration violators to that National Crime Information Center database.
A federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent is the target of a criminal investigation for allegedly using the NCIC to search the name of an illegal immigrant featured in an attack ad aired by Beauprez's campaign.
Democratic opponent Bill Ritter's campaign Sunday accused Beauprez of "being less than honest" or "suffering from politically expedient amnesia."
But John Marshall, campaign manager for Beauprez, said Ritter was trying to divert attention from his plea-bargaining record as Denver district attorney with both legal and illegal immigrants, which was the subject of the ad.
"It's the height of dishonesty, him talking about anything involving illegal immigration," Marshall said of Ritter. "He put deportable criminal aliens back on the streets to commit more crimes."
He added that over the past few days, Beauprez has become "more familiar" with the NCIC.
Beauprez said Thursday in an interview with The Denver Post he had not heard of the NCIC.
Beauprez was one of 116 co-sponsors of the 2005 bill that mainly dealt with helping federal, state and local agencies enforce immigration laws.
It was referred to the subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims, and no further action has been taken.
A subsection of the bill states that the Homeland Security Department must report to the NCIC "any and all aliens" who have been ordered removed from the country, signed a voluntary departure agreement, overstayed their authorized period or had their visas revoked.
The rest of the bill addresses criminal penalties for entering or remaining in the country unlawfully, financial assistance to state and local police agencies, increased federal detention space and federal custody of illegal aliens.
The attack ad in question says Ritter reached a plea bargain with alleged heroin dealer Carlos Estrada Medina, an illegal immigrant who was freed and went on to commit a sex crime in California.
The man used aliases, and Ritter's campaign alleged that the only way to link the aliases was through a restricted law enforcement database.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation said Medina used the alias Walter Noel Ramo, the name of a man charged in Denver in 2001 when Ritter was district attorney.
Cory Voorhis, a veteran ICE special agent, has been identified as a target of the probe by the CBI and the Federal Bureau of Investigation into whether someone violated the law by using the database for non-law-enforcement purposes, according to multiple sources close the probe.
Only law enforcement officers, federal workers and, in limited cases, members of Congress can request access to the NCIC database. Members of Congress can search a person's name only at that person's request.

Supervolcano eruptions are triggered by melt buoyancy
Zurich, Switzerland (SPX) Jan 06, 2014
Supervolcanos are not usual volcanos. By effectively "exploding" as opposed to erupting, they leave a giant hole in the Earth's crust instead of a volcanic cone - a caldera, which can be up to one hundred kilometres in diameter. On average, supervolcanos are active more rarely than once every 100,000 years; since records began, none has been active. Consequently, researchers can only gain a vague idea of these events based on the ash and rock layers that have survived. A team of researchers headed ... read more

Good meatloaf that actually held together... mine never do. I halved the recipe and it made 2 huge pans. The flavor was a little bland for my taste but this is for a crowd, not everyone has the same tastes. Otherwise this was a great recipe that I will be making from now on. The only changes I made were I added some dried basil and oregano, a little garlic powder and some onion powder.
The conversion for 2 lb of meat was a little confusing- I just eyeballed the rest of the ingredients. I had to cook this almost 2 hours- next time I am going to try 375 for one hour. Having said all of that negative, it was moist and had great flavor. Thanks for posting!!
Great meatloaf! I've made it for a crowd of 60 and I've made it for four. I've made it with turkey and I've made it with venison. I've chopped veggies by hand (for the 60) and I've thrown in a package of pre-diced "trinity" (for the four). Always perfect. We're having it again tonight! Thank you, thank you!
This is an incredible recipe!! I've adjusted to serve 80 with the Banana Ketchup (must do!) and there were only raves for this meatloaf and sauce. Requested second year in a row for staff Appreciation Dinner!! Friends love it when I serve it at home, too! Be sure to serve the Banana Ketchup, too!!
Best I've ever made! We're BIG fans of Cracker Barrell and eat there more often than anywhere else. We love their meatloaf. Glad I found this recipe. It turned out wonderful! I had a little more than 2 pounds of lean ground beef (93%). I kind of guessed at the reduction of all the ingredients but I followed the recipe. Was a rainy day here in Georgia and the green beans and mashed potatoes, with an addition of fresh sliced Vidalia onions, made it perfect. I will use this recipe from now on. Thanks Mille!
This is a great meatloaf. I have to cook for a medium-large size crowd a couple of times a month and have used this recipe several times. Its always a bit hit and so easy to make! Thanks for sharing it.
I altered the quantities of this recipe to fit our family & it was awesome. My husband is a fussy eater when it comes to vegies so I was not sure how it would go but he loved it! The flavours of the peppers & onions through the meat were perfect. Next time I may add some diced mushroom and see how it goes.
I scaled this recipe down for my family and it worked beautifully. I used two pounds of ground beef and adjusted the measurements accordingly. We really liked the flavor from the green peppers and tomatoes in it, I always add onion but not the other veggies....very good. thank you for posting this I will make this again.
Reduced the recipe to serve 4, used bread crumbs rather than cracker crumbs, and it disappeared quickly. I've been searching for the "perfect" meatloaf recipe for months, and after this one the family told me to stop looking. This one goes on the regular rotation!
I made this for a staff appreciation luncheon for 120 people. They loved it; we had no leftovers. That is highly unusual! The only modifications I made were to leave out the green bell peppers, we have some picky eaters. I also used worcestershire sauce in lieu of the salt and added additional tomatoes. Thanks for a wonderful entree for a crowd. Many of them asked for the recipe. It did take much longer to cook than an hour though. Appeals to all!

Nov. 11th- Youth Lost- Medals worn- Remember
I have always tried to Remember those who fought on November the 11th – from granddads, uncles and my father- to my generation, my husband USAF, my cousins and to those friends who have lost their sons to war.
I was pleased and touched the last piece of art work produced by my son was in honor for another young man who gave his life for his country ( in remembrance)- Eric Barnes .
I was reminded on Remembrance Sunday, as I walked through the dining room, of my father . I hadn't looked at his medals in a very long time as they hung over the sword he bought me ( The Sword of Charlemagne ) incase I ever did Camelot again. He was coerced into polishing up a sword for the theatrical production in which I was involved -a lousy job and one he decided he wouldn't do again – hence the purchase of the sword !
There was a lot of dust, the ribbons had lost their sharp colours over the decades and they decidedly needed a clean . I knew some of his medals were gone – RN Long Service and Good conduct Medal, The Arctic Star and the Oak cluster – I had used them to pin my dolly's clothes when I was just a little one.
Although I had written about his Royal Navy Career in the series along with my mother's remembrances of those days of world war two –
I can't really remember having ever "looked " closely at the medals.
I was surprised at the number of theatres of war in which he had been involved. And then, I remembered this man , my father who had been in the Royal Navy before war broke out and had seen so much in those terrible years was only 28 years old when Victory was declared – my mother 26-. War is for the young they say ……
Naval personnel anywhere at sea in the Mediterranean or in harbour in North Africa, Malta or Egypt between the above dates will qualify. Those serving in direct support of the Eritrean and Abyssinian campaigns between certain other specified dates will also qualify.
THE ARCTIC STAR**** The Arctic Star is granted for operational service of any length north of the Arctic Circle (66 degrees, 32'N) from the 3rd September, 1939, to the 8th May, 1945, inclusive. The Arctic Star is intended to commemorate the Arctic Convoys and is designed primarily for the ships of the convoys to North Russia and their Escorts. •Royal Navy and Merchant Navy: naval and Merchant Navy service anywhere at sea north of the Arctic Circle to include, but not limited exclusively to, those ships participating in, and in support of, Convoys to North Russia
The Battle of the Atlantic took place between 3 September 1939 and 8 May 1945 as German U boats, aircraft and surface vessels attacked the convoys transporting valuable supplies from America and the colonies to Britain.
Warships of the RN and aircraft of the RAF escorted the convoys, hunted the U boats, fought German ships and, despite some notable German successes, the allies won a comprehensive victory in the Atlantic
THE ITALY STAR Naval personnel must qualify first for the 1939 to 1945 Star before the Italy Star can be awarded. It is then awarded for service at sea in the Mediterranean between the above dates provided that it was directly connected with active operations in the Mediterranean theatre.
George VI Medal *****The duration of the Second World War in Europe was from 3 September 1939 to 8 May 1945, while in the Pacific Theatre it continued until 2 September 1945. The War Medal 1939–1945 was instituted by the United Kingdom on 16 August 1945 and was awarded to all full-time personnel of the armed forces and merchant marines
My dad also earned the Royal Navy – Long Service and Good Conduct Medal
Oak Leaf awarded to personnel who have been mentioned in despatches in action with the enemy (all environments) in war.
HMS Speedwell
I believe ,in researching my dad's history, a mention of the incident for which he was mentioned in despatches
Cyril Green:
1400 – Explosion in our ship don't know whether we hit or what it is yet someone gave a scream.
1445 – Explosion was heater drain observation tank in boiler room exploding. 2 stokers seriously scalded and 1 fractured elbow.
We left Harmatris to two Russian tugs and proceeded to Polyarnoe (Russia) at all speed.
I should like Commanding Officers of all Minesweepers to know that I fully appreciate the good work in the difficult conditions in the past few days searching, escorting, and hunting under the nose of the enemy sea and air forces. It does everyone, but especially the Engine room department, great credit that all ships have been ready for service whenever called upon and I am sure that valuable lives and ships have been saved by the good work performed.
CommanderSenior Officer, Sixth Minesweeping Flotilla "
The HMS Speedwell was a minesweeper and now a segue back to Lorain
and another naval man Admiral Ernest J King–
His tribute space has the flags flying – not on a flag pole but a ship's mast and a "minesweeper mast" at that rescued from the from the old American Ship yard.
Old Mast at American Shipyard
( Now in place at the Admiral King Tribute Site 1st and Hamilton)
Lorain's Lost Housing and Political Machinations
The last days of Lorain's election are bringing out the sound bites of political machinations .
I don't get involved in the who is who – vote for- aspect BUT I have heard over and over again both in the real media and social media the surface knowledge of Lorain's Housing being used as fodder for the "vote for me" campaigns .
Unfortunately, I am of the opinion neither Mr. Tim Carrion (IND) or Ms. Jesse Tower (REP) have looked at the housing issues in-depth. These issues have become mythered with politics and this will sound good to the voting public campaign rhetoric !-Lorain deserves educated observations and decisions not sound bites for print.
Ms. Tower stated in the Chronicle Telegram article yesterday
Tower said the $100 inspections are unfair to property owners and reduce housing sales, increasing blight.
"The government should be there to help the residents, not to hinder the residents," Tower said. "If you want to buy a falling-apart house, then why is the government telling you not to buy it?"
I am afraid I emphatically disagree- I have fought blight and have gone before government committees and courts in Ohio and Washington DC with regard to blight and blighting neighborhoods. – $100 housing inspection costs DO NOT Increase Blight – far from it !
Oh! Ms. Tower , you are much mistaken in the fact the majority of Lorain substandard homes were being purchased by people wanting a home – for the most part these "old houses" were being traded back and forth by LLC's and "property managers". They are listed in this link
and some more out of town-ers are still causing issues to families – read it and weep.
Every single person who wishes to purchase a home in Lorain should be assured their property meets "minimum standards of safety". $100 for an inspection is cheap to make sure a child goes to bed without the threat of a faulty furnace, a mother and father know the plumbing will not haunt them and lead paint is not an issue.
Mr. Carrion also had his say
Of the vacant homes, 171 were graded D and 95 graded F. The study recommended demolishing all the D and F buildings. However, Carrion said there should be greater focus on rehabilitating homes.
Mr. Carrion for your edification
"If some things need to be torn down, let's do it," Carrion told Young Tuesday. "But you can't just take a wrecking ball to everything. Some things need to be salvaged."
Unfortunately Mr. Carrion – easier said than done. Using Federal/ State funds has some serious rules and repercussions ( as mentioned when Lorain broke the rules and bent them in "previous years under the old Community Development Dept) and they frown upon rehabbing a house for 30 , 40, 75 or $100 thousand when Lorain's market value for homes, in these older neighborhoods, are selling for 10-22 thousand – thanks to a lot of bank dumping and LLC's.
Lets take a wander through some business practices here in Lorain. One property management company JB Patriot Properties ( Jerrod Biebrick- who appeared before Magistrate Cook last week-
I did a quick check of only 40 properties of the 80 Mr. Biebrick stated he owns- of those 37 are delinquent in their taxes for over $150,000 dollars total.
I can't see where any attempt was made to pay down the taxes in the years he has owned the properties. Also, look at the sale prices of just one page from the auditors site –
( sale prices listed far right)
These properties have taxes owing on them for years – The property he states on his articles of incorporation on the 11 LLC's he holds is 1101 34th Street.
1101 34th Street- purchased in 2009- for $10,900- from yes another familiar bank- US Bank NA- even has taxes owed on those prestigious corporate offices – the real estate tax for this "building" is $711.22 cents per year and owed is $3,791.24 – ( YOU DO THE MATH how many years of back taxes???)
Can you honestly believe if the county foreclosed on these properties the amount of money that would be needed to rehab them would be available ?
Oh Yes !I can just see it now – properties whose highest sales price- per my example Mr. Biebrick was a mere $17,500. Yes! I can certainly see the state and federal programs throwing money into any one of these properties – I THINK NOT!!!! nor would I want them too.
These examples do not take into account the George Schneider properties( 37 of them in the demo line)
the Lew Strnad properties – the wheeling and dealing , trading and dumping going on before January 2014. Oh! there are more out there believe me – I look at them every day in this Lorain's oldest neighborhood.
Let us look at the most recent demolitions and how they got to be razed- this was not the fault of this city it is the fault of business practices that I believe are at the very least unethical.
1223 W 6th Street. Lorain made the front page of the local media
This home was demolished at a cost estimated for each demolition of $25,000 – the neighbors cheered – but HOW did we end up demolishing this property?
The county acquired it through non-payment of taxes in the amount of $12,883.05- the yearly taxes were $692.16 –
This is not a case of some poor out of work family unable to keep up with their taxes.
This property was purchased by yet another LLC EAI Investments –
THEY didn't pay the taxes.
Perhaps Mr. Ernest and Alice Iseminger couldn't afford to pay their taxes- One would have to wonder if that were indeed the case since Mr. Ernest Iseminger was in fact (according to LinkedIn) during his time here in Lorain County Vice President, Development and Alumni Affairs Oberlin College and is NOW –
Vice President, Advancement and External Relations at Claremont McKenna College.
His wife, Alice- the Owner, Seniors Helping Seniors Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Area Individual and Family Services
Now I think they could have managed to pay the less than $700 a year in taxes on this property. According to the neighbors, the day I watched the home being demolished, it was rented out and left to its own decay.
So EIA Investments -it seems – rented it out- and the non payment of property taxes continued to climb – and now WE the taxpayers ( because this is where the money ultimately comes from – ) pay to have the property taken down. I certainly hope the Lorain County contacts EAI Investments and the Isemingers to recoup some of these costs. ?
UPDATE: I heard back from the county re the actual cost of demo on this property
This particular unit was demolished at a cost of ~$11,000.00. the rear unit on the site cost ~$8000.00.
so the total of all structures is $19000.00.Cost includes, legal, title exams, asbestos survey, abatement, demo and site restoration
This is just an example of the nine properties mentioned in the article 3 were bank foreclosures ( Citi Bank and Fannie Mae) two possible deaths – and 907 W 9th under the name of Jeremy Brogan – Mr. Brogan is still listed as owning property according to the Lorain County Auditors site
My concern is the lack of knowledge both by politicians running for office and the citizens of this community as to the real business of "affordable housing" in Lorain. I don't think we can afford the business practices of – buy it cheap- rent it out- forget the taxes- and walk away . Because according to Prosecutor Will and County Treasurer Mr. Talarek from the Chronicle
The county has stated via Mr. Wills the prosecutor in the article fro
Will said when he first took office in 2005, the county took a much harder line on trying to collect back property taxes than it does now.
He said that once the property market headed south, many of the properties lost value and it became harder to foreclose and subsequently sell the properties for enough money to justify the expense.
Property that is foreclosed on must be assessed, and the county must try multiple times to sell it at sheriff's sale.
"It costs a lot of money to foreclose on a house," Talarek said.
If the land doesn't sell, Will said, it could become state property and it could be sold at an auditor's sale, but it would be unlikely to go for enough to cover expenses, let alone the back taxes.
"Sometimes it becomes counterproductive to be aggressive," he said.
And those in the businesses of "walk away " rentals KNOW THIS! And now Ms. Tower and Mr. Carrion hopefully you know it too. Lorain's housing is more than a sound bite !
The Other Lorain- The city OF IFFY???-
IFFY = iffy: having many uncertain or unknown qualities or conditions may not pass the "sniff test
NOTE: The IFFY meter results are based upon information available through the situations as read in the media and elsewhere on line eg City of Lorain agendas)
At the risk of more "concrete criticism" coming through my window
Let us take a trip – to the other Lorain – the IFFY OF LORAIN and especially the happenings in Ward Two and how they stack up with the IFFY Meter
UPDATE: the result!!!! http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2015/10/16/horn-concedes-flores-wins-lorain-council-seat/
There is such a confusion within my brain- I, for instance, cannot fathom why it has taken weeks and weeks to get a council person named for this Ward Two. Whatever the reason legally or politically – something sure looks iffy –
This was a Democratic Primary – but since no one from the Republican Party or Independent Party is running in the General Election whom ever comes through this mess will be our Ward Two councilman.
The Democrats ( as they are who are the "front-runners" in all aspects of this ) will be deciding one way or another – The Judge Betleski ( he of CRA fame https://thatwoman.wordpress.com/category/cra/ ) is a "big" Democrat) and stated in his in initial decision
Judge Mark A. Betleski ruled there will be no recount.
However Mr. Flores brought a civil suit and the Judge and the players had at it again. Mr. Flores , it has to be said, has fallen out of favour with his Democratic Party.
The expert witness for the court Paul Adams is the Director of the Board of Elections AND the Chairman of the Lorain Democratic Party – Oh yes and the person who does the warning
http://chronicle.northcoastnow.com/2013/09/24/lorain-democrats-warn-3-men-to-stick-to-party-line/ and writes letters to the newspapers –
In a news release Thursday, Lorain City Democratic Party Chairman Paul Adams wrote that the party was recommending all of the candidates running in his party's primary except for Flores, who has previous convictions for solicitation, carrying a concealed weapon and drunken driving.
"Just as the records of exemplary community leaders in the party speak for themselves, Dennis Flores's public criminal record speaks for itself," Adams wrote
Bit of a reach there – Mr. Flores won his seat in the previous election after his legal violations ( much to the annoyance we are told of certain Democratic Party Officials) and the party recommendation failed to point our Mr. Horn's exemplary behavior
" Ryan Horn, one of two candidates challenging Flores, pleaded no contest to public indecency/reckless exposure in 2008, according to Lorain Municipal Court records.
Now I am just thinking out loud here This whole "fiasco", because that is what this has become. Why did the same Judge that ruled there will be no recount then have to disallow a few week later 9 votes? Should have had that recount in the first place eh? What?
And Now
There are two concerns to this lay person- the Judge that ruled there would be no recount initially – had to then after a civil trial throw out 9 votes and ( to the iffy minded ) at least one more should have been disallowed. 9 votes in a Democratic Primary in a Ward of Lorain where 382 Democrats voted for the three candidates – 2.35 % of the vote disallowed and we are still hanging on waiting to hear the results. And the 2nd concern is how many times previously have votes been counted that shouldn't have- in the last two elections there have been concerns in Ward Two – Robert Gilchrist comes to mind- you may be losing the voters' faith in the process ?
MY IFFY METER results
First Energy and the 15,000 dollar Donation
Last month, Mr. Joe Koziura Council at Large and Mr. Frank DiTillio also Council at Large were thanked publically and in emails for their support of a local event by receiving a $15,000 dollar donation from First Energy
We have a $15K presenting sponsor – First Energy. Joe Koziura and Frank DeTillio started working the circuit to round up sponsorships for the festival last week and landed us this. If you see them around town, thank them as well! They will keep knocking on the doors of their network — glad to have them on the team!
No problem there except there is a resolution going before council Tuesday night (the 8th of September) resolving the support of First Energy for their stand before the Public Utilities Commission
"Stated Scott Gerfen, Ohio Consumers Counsel spokesperson:
"1.9 million consumers paid billions of dollars to FirstEnergy for its transition to deregulated power plants, under a 1999 Ohio law. Fifteen years later, FirstEnergy is again asking consumers to pay charges related to the power plants. FirstEnergy's requests include asking the government (the PUCO) to guarantee profits for what are deregulated power plants whose profits should instead be determined by the electricity market. Needless to say, we are concerned for consumers…"
Now there are pros and con arguments for this Power initiative- and they can be found in the links in this post ( 2nd subject) https://thatwoman.wordpress.com/2015/08/11/selling-of-lorain-an-energy-decision-red-flags-flying/
Ironically this resolution passed word for word by our Law Director Pat Riley –
is word for word from the resolution sent by First Energy to Council at Large. ( Mr. Given declined to propose the resolution) and it was hanging around in the offices for months since April 22nd and with no takers!( see handwritten note on the First Energy Page) WHY NOW?????
Usually resolutions are just passed as a support, such as the other one on the agenda re the Salvation Army, BUT this one can effect the citizens and our wallets – I hope those voting will have done their homework as to just what this resolution means – and heaven forbid it isn't tied to the $15,000 donation –No! surely not that would be a cheap trade off The IFFY meter results
Brewers and A BRIDGE SO FAR!
I would hope the behavior alluded to on line and elsewhere in this latest "entertainment Lorain" in Lorain's Entertainment District is just a mashing of facts. Judge for yourself:
Early in August ( 7th and 9th) the Bascule Brewing
folk started generating excitement with a new micro Brewery they plan to open in the old Eagles Building – they had a logo,
a place to carve out the brewery and a name Bascule Brewing so what happened because on September 5th a new logo and name change?
From their facebook page
Our New Operating Name, Bascule Brewery and Public House
September 5
Well it seems, according the chat on various facebook posts the "originators" of the Bascule Brewery met up with a hiccup – they had neglected in their excitement to register their LLC . Well who would have thought that people, who proclaim to want to help business in Lorain, would then go and register that very name, along with another on August 20th – just to be on the safe side???? The LLC's registered by one whom, it can be surmised acts as legal representation for another individual who also apparently plans a micro brewery on Broadway a few buildings up. The LLC and other name was activated August 20th 2015 three weeks after the original Bascule Brewery was announced. If that it the case certainly not Cricket gentleman!!!
For the sake of clarification The Original Brew Masters made this statement
Please be advised, any news or business you hear being conducted under anything other than our newly REGISTERED name, BASCULE BREWERY and PUBLIC HOUSE is NOT affiliated with my partner and VP Fred Lozano or me, Chris Kambouris. We are Bascule Brewery and Public House's sole proprietors. We have no plans of operating anywhere else but 573 Broadway.
and from their face book post :
Friends, opening a brewery is fraught with troubled waters. In every community already choked by economic hardship, there are those, who it seems, exist solely to demonstrate their former strength, those who would rather use their influence to prevent others from success, than to take noble efforts to promote it. Those who cannot conceive of original concepts but would rather swoop in like vampires to feed off of any fresh pulse they detect. It is these very same forces that jeopardize what is at stake in Lorain. The crooked hands that won't let go of an obsolete mentality still try and grasp at the opportunities they failed to embrace in their own time. This brewery is more than a name. It's about you. We hope you will stand by YOUR brewery Lorain.
If this is the case the name tying- to protect a client- is accurate then this situation is not only pathetic but problematic to Lorain ( in my considered opinion based on what I have read)
NOTE: Please don't hurl concrete through my windows- all you have to do is ask for an OP ED or Guest Post to state your case😉 I will post it unedited
Paula Tobias-Department of Defense and Ovarian Cancer
This is a guest blog post by my wonderful friend – Paula Tobias- Paula has been fighting her own battle with Ovarian Cancer –
How are the Department of Defense and Ovarian Cancer connected?
When I read this yesterday I was in one of many daily Pain moments; you know, on the scale of 1 – 10 (10 being the worst) I was a 9. The weather and more importantly the surgery, chemo and subsequent meds, tests, x-rays and PET/CT scans I believe have something to do with the agony dealt with on a daily basis.
The Department of Defense has funded innovative biomedical research programs for years that impact troop readiness. The Ovarian Cancer Research Program was added in 1997 and has since been funding research primarily aimed at finding an early detection test and better treatments for ovarian cancer.
Finding an early detection test for ovarian cancer is of critical importance to the military. Currently, any active duty military woman with a suspected case of ovarian cancer must receive her treatment in the United States (due to the availability of specialists here), so correctly identifying women that either do or do not have ovarian cancer is of critical importance to the military. Over the last five years alone, over 2,600 military women have had a suspected case of ovarian cancer. "
Senator John McCain will be adding an amendment to a bill in the Senate that would strip many of the research programs run by the Department of Defense, including the $20 million for the Ovarian Cancer Research Program(OCRP). The OCRP funds $20 million in innovative, high-risk, high-reward ovarian cancer research each year.
Senate staffers are calling this the biggest threat to medical research in 20 years.
I immediately called my Senators and left voice mails with my history. It took a lot to maintain composure while doing this and as soon as I was done, Frank (my loving, caring, patient husband) came in from work and surprised me. Well I surprised him with a burst of tears and language a soldier would blush hearing. At the end of that tirade I said, "Do you think the Senator would be asking this if it were his testicles at stake?"
I support all battling their cancer diagnosis, patient or family. I volunteer at my Oncologists office to empathize with those. I try to offer hope and comfort.
• Click here to send your Senator an action alert email that will tell them to oppose the McCain Amendment.http://cqrcengage.com/ovarian/app/write-a-letter?0&engagementId=108520
• Call your Senators and tell them to oppose the McCain Amendment
Please help and pass along this information and if we (Frank is still my miracle -13 yr. Pancreatic Cancer Survivor) can help anyone with their Cancer Battle, contact Loraine and she'll connect us. Paula Tobias
ED NOTE: Whilst looking for the date of the vote I came across the following – it seems McCain's amendment will not only effect Ovarian Cancer funding but Prostate Cancer funding as well –
Senator McCain amendment might kill Prostate Cancer research funding
Again and again and again Senator McCain (R-AZ) has attacked the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), which for PROSTATE CANCER has been among the most productive research vehicles we have to conquer PROSTATE CANCER.
It is beyond my understanding why he has taken up this vendetta. Every year he is our biggest enemy, trying his best to stop the great progress we have made. As usual, he is at it again!
Senator McCain is a major advocate for funding of the Defense Department, but he seems not to understand that the money that flows to the CDMRP does not take one dollar away from our defense budget. The money that flows to the CDMRP is over and above any budget dollar that will go to the Defense Department. So, why the vendetta against the CDMRP, I cannot explain it.
This dust (ing) of community- Apathy – Hope?????
We are the common man– we are the ones who pay our taxes, raise our children , try to do the right thing -if at all possible. We are, for the most part, ignored – except when it comes ( in a democracy) wanting our vote. We are not really important, unless they need our children, brothers, sisters, husbands and wives to fight a war, give money or put them in office.
We are well and truly "played " for the most part in all walks of life and yet we are also blamed for our apathy when we don't turn out in numbers to jump on the political bandwagon of the day!
Every single day, this blog receives requests for some sort of help, why ? Maybe because yours truly has never been one to back down from a truth or because they hope by getting out the word through this blog ( which doesn't have the restrictions of "other" media) , attention will be drawn to a situation and event.
I, for the most part, can no longer hold out any hope to those that write or call, I have discovered unless it falls in line with the "powers that be" in any situation you are " spitting in the wind" – the "slobber" will only end back at you!
There are people in this town of Lorain– that decent folk ( and they are in the minority – socially and verbally speaking) would, in another day and age, would be ostracized -certainly not embraced and rewarded.
No longer the case , we, as a community- ( the vocal majority) embrace, classless
( Note two of the videos in this post were taken down by You tube – the failed stripper because it did not meet even YOU Tube's community standards😉
and criminal behavior.
The agendas and behaviors are swept under the political and media rug. It is not only tolerated but excused with " Oh 2nd chances" etc. And so it evolves until the dirt under the rug finally destroys the fabric of civilized society.
There are those that have tried and found to their chagrin , the reality- no one wants to lift the rug- the dirt might start rubbing off on them.
This blog published one local instance – threats and coercion of elected officials ( in my opinion) in order to get their way.
……I know of several things if I spill the beans will cause a huge uproar in this city as well as a large number of law suits. I was previously asked to keep my mouth shut about all of it but my patience is running thin……..
I understand the mayor is planning to run again. Well after I start sending out my series of letters to all the tv stations, radio stations and newspapers I don't think it will help his campaign. The ball is now in your hands. If things don't straighten up immediately with my son and his building the letters will begin next week.
This individual, felt safe enough to put in writing her desires and "nothing- nada naught" ever came out of that little episode except the retaliation against me, the messenger! – What sort of a "community"-" system" countenances and rewards – let alone tolerates such blatant threatening behavior toward city officials???? ( see the whole email in the above link)
Apparently -Lorain does!!!! inclusive of politicians, businesses, media ( who were sent copies of the email – NOT BY ME I hasten to add- but a "credible source😉 and legal eagles hmmm Is there something under that particular rug after all??? .
So, the people watch , listen and learn the sorry fact – to make waves ultimately means death by drowning. They start walking away from difficult situations, turning a blind eye , stop getting involved, realizing that to point out the situations only gets you grief. They leave if they can, only to find it is the same no matter where you go.
The latest big scandal, FIFA-
everyone has known for decades, football associations, countries, clubs, knew of the corruption. No one did anything. The most powerful nations on the planet turned a blind eye to the ongoing corruption but one man tried and tried – Andrew Jennings– but even with his track record it has taken decades ! Why?
"I'm a document hound. If I've got your documents, I know all about you," he said. "This journalism business is easy, you know. You just find some disgraceful, disgustingly corrupt people and you work on it! You have to. That's what we do. The rest of the media gets far too cozy with them. It's wrong. Your mother told you what was wrong. You know what's wrong. Our job is to investigate, acquire evidence."
I get the mike and I said, 'Herr Blatter, have you ever taken a bribe?'"
Talk about crashing the party," Jennings recalled Tuesday. "Reporters are moving away from me as if I've just let out the biggest smell since bad food. Well, that's what I wanted. Thank you, idiot reporters. The radar dish on top of my head is spinning around to all these blazers against the wall, saying, 'Here I am. I'm your boy. I'm not impressed by these tossers. I know what they are. I've done it to the IOC, and I'll do it to them.'"
You would think the first whiff of corruption would have sent the "red flags flying. No ! but finally it was another "power that be" -the United States got involved, and you have to question WHY and why now– well it suited them , let's face it- it came down to money essentially, agendas , money , power and politics. Doesn't it always ?
And so , I will receive more requests for help, that I can do nothing about because – scum rises to the top of the pond and they are enabled by media , politics, and a like-minded group supporting their rise …. and apathy is the least of Lorain's worries……………as is the nations … and more and more decent thinking individuals find out hope of "the right thing" is just that a forlorn hope. "hope the other four letter word
What is now Classy- the Class definition –
Having been bombarded on the blog with searches for "TiTs on the River- Lorain" (post on Rover Fest 2014)
and the sharing of such things as a " Twerk Fest" on local face book pages I realized this new "classy behavior" has left me, along with a few other dinosaurs, sinking into the tar pits of time .
Class the definition from the Urban Dictionary
A person who is poised, graceful, mature, or exudes any of these qualities in dress, mannerism, language, and everyday life. Possesses excellent self-control, is gentle, soothing, and unoffensive.
Also used to refer to people or styles from the past; when copied, general impression of others upon seeing them is "classy", a reference to all things classic or that have class.
1. She was the epitome of class in the way she carried and presented herself.
2. They all agreed that the man who paid unwavering attention to his escort and stayed by her side all night had an unprecedented amount of class.
3. Audrey Hepburn.
Audrey Hepburn who says the beauty of woman is in her eyes not the shaking of the gluttonous maxi-bums to the delight of panting males and wishful thinking. Brings to mind the postcards of my youth
No! I am too old for the twerking and the tits brigade , even my beautiful daughter is joining me in the tar pits along with, I would think, a lot of the grand daughters of other dinosaurs. Flyer's as the one below though are stating "no age limit" and High Schools welcome – Vision conjured up in my head of old men getting their thrills watching young girls "twerking" for a prize of 500 dollars.
Is this the community standard by which we now judge Lorain and not ONLY Lorain , the objectification of young women ? Who am I to judge? I came from the time before this time when we burned our bras for equality and not objectification !!!
It was NOT because we wanted to display our mammary glands on top of some man's shoulders in order to wave them about so a DJ could toss a few freebie tickets at you- " You have lost the plot and the point "ladies?"
My mother's time when women tried to raise ourselves out of the classification of only good for child rearing and keeping men happy!
Is this yet another male ploy perhaps to keep women in their "twerking place"?
Ironically, the venue once a standard of community and faith in and of itself has morphed to this sort of "entertainment" – Their NAME prominently displayed on the flyer. Knights of St. John !
Wonder what the "old" Knights ( of St. John)
WHO WE ARE? A men's semi-military fraternal organization concerned with protecting and promoting the Catholic Faith and our parish.
To promote fellowship within and to aid, assist and support whomever is in need.
would have to say as to the use of their hall.
The current owner of the hall 1620 Kansas Avenue, according to the Lorain County Auditors site:
CAMERON PROPERTIES LLC and according to the Secretary of State the LLC tracks back to RYAN HORN – 401 EAST ERIE AVENUE LORAIN,OH 44052
Effective Date: 10/14/2014 Contact Status: Active
Voters in this ward 2 of Lorain will remember him – he ran for our councilman just 11 days ago .
Community Standards lost???? but youth progression????? opportunities for everyone???? a platform for inclusion
Sorry have to dash now – the tar pits beckon
Beltane -Angel feathers – fairy folk – and me
This evening is Beltane and many fire festivals across Europe, Ireland and Great Britain will herald its arrival.
At twilight, on Beltane Eve, fairy folk and magic abound, the veil between realms is thinnest now because the seasons are changing, the energies of nature are rising and with them the mysteries of new life approaching.
Beware then that the Fairy Queen doesn't steal you away for an eternity outside time in her court sublime, and if you are spared – then welcome the May and enter the Summerlands the very next day. Celestial Elf http://celestialelfdanceoflife.blogspot.com/
I have tried and tried to remember when I first learned about fairies, it seems I knew about them before I could remember. My mum isn't and wasn't into fairies, I remember both grandmothers and their stories . The one, Nanny Bunyan was all romance with highway man and injustice in her poems to me as a child- https://thatwoman.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/my-gift-for-your-december-graces-fur-coat/
I can remember back to before I was three. My Nanny Hines was all gentle and loving but her stories were about family. So who told me about fairy folk ? There were so many days playing in the rockery at the end of our garden looking for fairies, fairy rings and building little houses for them. But I have no idea where my belief in the fairies came from- I just did believe in them with all my little innocent and child's heart.
A few days ago one of the face book people put up the following picture with the caption " Share if you believe"( the angel overseeing the rescue) As I looked at the picture ( and what I believe having had some experience is a photo shop sort of thing) I nearly wrote
" Yes I believe in fairies"
I then realized the person sharing obviously did believe and who was I to make a sarcastic and unwarranted remark about what they believed to be true. My wondering mind then went to angel wings and feathers- no longer the child- I wondered why are angels usually depicted as having great bird wings with feathers .
I know I am not blessed with an original thought- so I googled –why are angels depicted with feathers? Of course the answers made sense logically speaking :
1. Because when the Bible was written ( apparently the Bible as we know never said angels have wings man decided that ) that was the only way the writers could signify how angels traveled from one place to the other. The Bible was written so that most people could visualize the characters and how they operated.
2. In the space of little more than two centuries (from the 3rd to the 5th) the image of angels took on definite characteristics both in theology and in art -during that era paintings of angels were given wings to differentiate them from humans.
So after reading a much of a muchness to answer my question about angel feathers. Logically the reasoning angels are encumbered with great feathery appendages to their backs is because man needed to explain how angels flew or travelled and their only example of flying things were the birds, and their feathers hence feathers. After all butterfly- like wings would hardly hold up a man or woman those were saved for the fairies.
And here I am again trying to find logic where there is none -except since feathery angel wings are man's depiction it makes sense that photos of angels with wings hovering over an accident scene is also "man's depiction".
Ah beliefs, all entwined with stories that made sense in the man's need for religion how many Catholics ( meaning the all-encompassing Christian beliefs" or those of Jewish face have used the word Karma in their everyday life and that comes from the oldest ( still practiced) religion today – Hinduism – http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2014/04/25/9-myths-about-hinduism-debunked/
Each of us has beliefs that are intertwined with other religions , our perception of angels not questioned and who is to say there aren't fairies at the bottom of the garden , playing in the waterfalls – but one thing I know for sure there is something beyond our child like knowledge of this thing we call "life" and there are "no wings attached "😉

Can anyone recommend me a good alternative for Adobe Reader ? I need a software that is fast and light which works on Windows.
I've been using SumatraPDF for a few years now. It was my replacement for Foxit reader when I became annoyed with that product for a few reasons (I won't go into it right now).
SumatraPDF supports various formats if you are looking for more than just a PDF reader. For example it supports:

How can the Welsh surpass the Irish in making their own patron saint day, St. David's Day as popular as St. Patrick's Day?
The answer may be in a very special version of a cuddle.
A good old fashioned affectionate hug, or 'cwtch' – an endearing Welsh word for a hug or cuddle is the secret weapon for enabling the celebration of all things Welsh on St. David's Day on March 1st to be even more memorable and engaging.
I am urging the people who promote all-things-Welsh to embark on a five year campaign featuring 'having a cwtch' and making it a key integral part of the St. David's Day celebration message around the world.
Giving a 'cwtch' is a great example of what can be called 'experiential marketing'. It also highlights a key component of communications:People will often forget what you say, but remember how you made them feel.
'Cwtch', the word, has little awareness outside of Wales. It also has limited exposure on any Google search.
But 'cwtch' the meme, where the meaning is the word accompanied by the act of giving a hug and showing you care has great potential to spread and replicate itself.
When you ask people to celebrate St. David's Day what can they currently actually do?
It is great seeing the small children dressing up in traditional costume for schools, and maybe I could carry a daffodil around with me, have a pint of Brains S.A., and sing 'Land of my fathers' in a Harry Secombe voice. But seriously, what else can I do?
Is there an easier, ready-at-hand thing which can be done?
The answer is the 'cwtch': around the world people could be invited to give out 'cwtches' (is that the plural?) to celebrate St. David's Day on March 1st.
You can imagine radio broadcasters relaying the message, you could encourage people to give each other cards with an accompanying 'cwtch', or virtual cwtches could be given.
We could indeed set up a 'Cwtch Marketing Board' to promote all things cwtch.
The idea could be further developed with promoting say 'cwtch cakes' – to eat with someone you care for.
Restaurants could offer 'cwtch' desserts designed for sharing.
There could be a word play on 'There is no cwtch'
Why has it got strong meme potential? The act of giving a 'cwtch' is both inherently pleasurable (except maybe for non-tactile people) and has wider resonance with campaigns like 'give a hug'.
In an era where greater emotional quotient is celebrated, sharing a 'cwtch' sits comfortably within people's goals and values, and is therefore not likely to create barriers of dissonance in its transmission.
Just think how popular St. Patrick's Day has become. Why? One fundamental reason is that it is meme-friendly, has a strong coherence, and crucially, easily links into existing easy-to-do behaviours or predilections: seemingly in this case, to enjoy a drink, or even get drunk.
Yes, giving a 'cwtch' is milder than the excesses of St.Patrick's Day, but still has potential.
Who would you share a cwtch with this St. David's day on March 1st?
And what ideas do you have the 'Cwtch Marketing Board'?
Who is the first person you are going to give a cwtch to on St. David's Day on March 1st. And who is going to be the second, and third 'cwtch of the day' for celebrating all things Welsh?

Why is it that this works: http://jsfiddle.net/w82W8/1/ But this doesn't?: http://jsfiddle.net/w82W8/2/
This question may seem convoluted; you may wonder, why not just use the first!? Why are you using jQuery to load in JS+CSS assets that you could easily load in the original HTML.
Well, I'm in the process of building a web widget and I'd like to keep the embed code as small as possible. The idea is to have the user include a single
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://mysite.com/widget.js'></script> line in their code, and the widget.js code will take care of all the details. Including fetching fancybox.
I'm getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'fancybox'
I hypothesize that javascript is not waiting for fancybox.js to load, and immediately attempting to apply fancybox() to the trigger. Can I get a callback working here when the assets have been loaded? I'm certain they are getting included in the DOM though... I've inspected with Chrome Tools.
I know this question has been asked on StackOverflow before, but not in this context.
Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

He looks forward to every session and comes home so excited. He gets such positive energy from every session which carries over into other areas of his life - such as social interactions and sporting activities.
Super Speak make the classes fun and enjoyable and Chrissy always leaves the class with a big smile on her face and bounce in her steps when I picked her up. She'll tell me about the new games she played and tell me how much fun she had. It's lovely to see kids learning whilst having so much fun!!!
Such a great service and friendly. Both my son and daughter have benefited greatly. I would recommend this as a valuable class for children to experience - also fantastic teachers.
My boys have gained so much from your classes, we can't praise the program highly enough. Thank you!
After 12 months of Superspeak, my son is a different person and has become much more confident within himself - even his school teacher commented on his development in last year which I largely attribute to attending these classes. I would definitely recommend to others.

Strap It On Lyrics
Artist: Anthrax
Album: We've Come For You All
And my plate is full
And i feel the pull
And my time is spent
Searching for something that came and went
Take me back
Take me back to a golden time
From '75 to '79
And it makes it easy, so easy for me
Strap it on
Stap it on my old school
I change by staying the same
And it grows inside
And my brain goes crazy
Sepia toned days are hazy
Take me back
Take me back to the heavy time
From '85 to '89
It makes it easy so easy for me.

I'm fairly helpless here guys so hoping for some good ideas easily executed.
Basically I have a form filed tied into Google Maps that will let someone type an address and assign it a lat/long. I'd like to add another one, store both of the inputs people enter and then calculate the "as the crow flies" distance.
I just want to give it an address and have it output how far those addresses are from one another, on a linear line. If it could show that on a map overlay, all the better.
I've been hunting for examples but everything I find has a lot of feature bloat. I just want some simple source code I could study doing this basic type of function.
This is where I am at currently:
Would LOVE any and all thoughts.

Brazil residents (from left) Cindy Kowitz and Heather Hardman were two of several individuals who took part in the National Day of Prayer event at the Clay County Courthouse Thursday.
Carbon Baptist Church Pastor Barry Corder opened the event with a moment of prayer before the individuals broke into several small groups.
The groups spread out along the courthouse lawn. Each group was pitted with a local pastor and elected officials.
The small groups then took time to pray.
The National Day of Prayer is an annual event, which takes place during the first Thursday of May.
It was designated as an official annual day of observance in 1952.
The first National Day of Prayer took place July 20, 1775, after the Continental Congress issued a proclamation recommending a day of public "humiliation, fasting, and prayer."

Abraham Lincoln truly inspired me. It wasn't just the freeing of the slaves, he kept the Union together. Some people even forget that today. What I think inspired me was the fact that in spite of being the President of the United States he retained a certain down-to-earth quality. He never got to be a big shot, and he cared about people.

Is there a way to run a process and limit its memory usage to say "X" MB and CPU usage to say "Y" Mhz in Linux?
I know we can adjust scheduling priority by using the "nice" command. However, the man page doesn't say whether it will limit both CPU and memory or only CPU (and in any case, it can't be used to specify absolute limits).

"We'll work to get more done with the people we have, the money we have and the equipment we have," Vietor said.
Vietor previously served as the county naturalist. The CCCB will hire a new employee but there will not be an employee serving full time in the role of county naturalist.
Vietor will continue to do some work in public education but will also use outside resources, such as the DNR, for education projects.
There will be an emphasis on making people feel the parks in the county are safe and well cared for, Vietor said.
Vietor is originally from Pennsylvania. She earned a bachelors degree in Ecology from Princeton University in New Jersey. She worked for a time in Minnesota before coming to Cherokee County as the naturalist in December of 2004.
Husman said that the CCCB was not approved for a grant application that would pay for improvements at Silver Sioux Park but the CCCB will keep working toward this project.
