Here he is! E-123 Omega! First seen in Sonic Heroes, Omega is great friends with Rouge and Shadow and another example of Eggman's inability to tone down on the A.I. he gives his robots. I made him the same way that Wakeangel2001 made his so check out his omega too! The only difference is I was able to make his pipe belt thing, and I made his shoulder pads the correct size and shape by making it out of craft foam. Hope you like it! I can now say that I am the 2nd person ever to create a custom omega action figure, I'll take a picture of him Shadow and Rouge in August when the rouge toys come out! I'll also be making a rouge with her sonic heroes out fit so yeah.

When is a tree a "public improvement" for purposes of inverse condemnation? According to one court, when the tree was planted by a city as part of a forestry program and maintained over a period of time. City of Pasadena v. Superior Court (Mercury Casualty Co.) (2014) California Second District Court of Appeal No. B254800.
A tree planted on public property in Pasadena blew over in a strong windstorm, damaging the home of a nearby resident. The resident's insurance company paid for the repairs and sued Pasadena on theories of inverse condemnation and nuisance.
Under California inverse condemnation law, a public entity is liable for damage to private property caused by a "public improvement." Typically, such damage is caused by a defective sewer, street, sidewalk, or other public work. Pasadena argued that a tree is not a "public improvement" for these purposes.
The court found that Pasadena had planted the tree by design as part of its forestry program, which included some 60,000 trees. In addition, city records showed the tree had been trimmed twice in the preceding decade. These factors made the tree a "public improvement" and damage caused by the tree could be the city's responsibility. The case was returned to the Superior Court for trial.
This decision offers strong protection for property owners that are near public property. But it leaves many unanswered questions: What about trees located on municipal property but were not planted as part of a deliberate program? What about trees that are located on private property but overhang a public street? Are unusually high winds an "Act of God" that would exempt a public entity from liability? These questions are left to future cases.

value in humour
This may look like a double post, but read on, and you will see why I need to show you the communication. I posted a reply to a plea from someone with an F34b - I was personally undergoing a trauma caused by my own Amp fault.
I think the data here is quite valuable, but have a laugh at the thinking.
I managed to communicate with Yarland by e mail, but the reply was a bit broken English, assuring me I should take my faulty FV34b to a skilled technician, despite me reassuring them that I was skilled, just completely out of touch, not wanting to spend the time tracing the circuit, and in need of a diagram - I am an ex TV engineer, qualified in all sorts of solid state Hi - Fi like B & O, Sonab, Nad,etc.
Low on valve experience.
I did manage to re - bias my Marshall JCM 900 to go back to its original valve line up - involved changing a few resistors - no probs - works beautifully.
Problem - Yarland died age 4 years old.
Power supply MR67 diode blown. Replaced and blew again - replaced, checked all that I could going by the cct diagram Yarland had sent me - which was hopelessly wrong - even just going by the used components.
I only found a transformer tapping wire looking suspiciously poorly insulated - so I corrected that and tried again - Eureka - the sound of music - for 3or 4 minutes, then an annoying hum and no music. Darn!
I have a fault I cannot see, and lack of time - it is very close to defeating me. Attached circuit diagram as supplied - mine has no chokes, and 2 200 ohm resistors.
I have just had an epiphany - you know one of those that make you feel a fool - I haven't tried the amp with no valves since it first blew up - that's what these diodes feed - the HT to the valves - can't wait to attack it now - might be simply a short in a valve - maybe with it being upside down, and electrode has sagged back to the way it should be, until it warmed up again - then bang..........
More good news - I replaced MR67 diode and took all valves out - tried pre amp first - all 3 ok - O/p stage left - OK after 2- 3 minutes (all with original 3A fuse, so I hoped this would blow before a component - last 2 o/p el34's - one had a peculiar mark round the top, and I had noticed that this same valve was 6-8mm taller than the others - so it didn't feel like a matched pair for a start - has the retailer been a bit naughty?? fortunately, I had changed My JCM900 4100 El34's for quad matched 5881's (after changing the resistor values to re bias) so I had a spare pair - put them in and eureka - result.
This was just as well, for I had ordered a 'Little Bear' valve phono pre - amp, and it had arrived - I put it in line to replace the solid state phono, and it all sounds just beautiful - value for money!
Remember that if you change valves, especially the type (no.), they will need re biasing anyway, and if you change the type, they may run very hot to damage, or too cool to sound correct. I have a good article on biasing if anyone wants it.
Incidentally, I have just realized, I am probably talking to myself on this one, since the original article was 5 years ago - I must be in a time warp..........

Talking more generally about humour with tube amps.......
I went into a used equipment shop in the 70s with a mate who was a drummer (I was a bassist then). There was an old guy behind the counter who didn't seem to know much about his stock but was very enthusiastic about selling it. We looked at one amplifier in particular, and he brought it out and put it on the counter. He proceeded to look at the back of it and read what was printed there. Then he came out with this:
"This is what you want, guys! This is a real good'un. Look at the back! It says it gives out a full 15 ohms!! That'll be really loud!!"

The correct use in this case would be Furlongs per Fortnight. This can as usual be expressed in such units as microfurlongs per nanofortnight.

One of my favorite gags:
when I go into a Radio Shack for a fuse or something, inevitably a clerk will ask if he can help. So I pull a piece of paper from my pocket and look at it, and ask as earnestly as possible, "Yes, I need some 16 ohm speaker cables. Do you have them?"
Nine times out of ten they start trotting off to the back to get me some.

Why you should use a SET amplifier:
"As everybody knows, high power amplifiers use larger electrons to achieve this high power. The bigger electrons don't start or stop as fast as normal electrons resulting in much heavier, less nimble Watts. So high power amplifiers can never have the finesse of low power amplifiers. High sensitivity speakers only work with the smaller electrons (the smallest are produced by tube amplifiers). Thus if you use a high power amplifier with sensitive speakers you need a transformer that slims down the electrons and makes them swifter. Such transformers are available from Jenny Craig Audio Inc., Phen-Fenophile Corp. and the US Nuclear Agency."
PS. Don't forget to elevate the amplifiers above the speakers, so the signal can flow easier.

The SATRI principle:
Q. Does anyone possess any information about amplifiers using the SATRI principle?
A. Of course! Jean-Paul Satri was a famous French philosopher who invented boredom. He wrote the hit song sung by Janis Joplin : "Freedom's just another word for nothing". He and his friend Genet built amplifiers out of abandoned bidets found behind brothels. Many Pacific Rim restaurants use his menu stylings. Sorry, no other info available.

So I'm at the doctor yesterday doing my 2 hour glucose test after a short stint of gestational diabetes and my little girl is happily nursing away in the waiting room when she suddenly stops, smiles, and pppttthhhhbbbbbbb....filling her diaper. She starts nursing again for a few seconds, stops, and pppttthhhbbbbbbb. She starts nursing AGAIN for a few seconds, stops and PPTTTHHHBBBBB. She looks up at me with a huge gummy smile and happily continues nursing. She was just about finished so I let her unlatch herself a few minutes later and when she moved that's when I noticed THAT MY ENTIRE ARM WAS SOAKING WET! She had poo'd out her diaper in the front up to her mid tummy and up her back to her hair. A man a few chairs down from me looks up and does not quite get that the loud pooping sounds were coming from my little babe, not me.
So there I sit covered in poo trying to decide what miraculous maneuvering I can muster to get her to the bathroom to change her diaper and entire outfit. I can't carry her b/c I have the stroller and other things, but I don't want to put her in the stroller b/c she's covered in poo. Luckily I had some disposable changing table liners (Huggies, they're AWESOME) so I put that in her carseat and laid her down. Ended up throwing away her undershirt onesie and spent 20 minutes in the bathroom cleaning her off. <3 being a mama :)
Anyone else notice their LO poops less often but there's MORE of it?

My brother went here Feb for 5 days.He said it was a once in a lifetime experience.I really want to see it with my own eyes sooner than later.
My friend Drew, an actor? I'm impressed.
I wish I took a cab, famous NY cab when I was there!
Hey Drew! NY taxis can be a little wild - just be happy you didn't ride the subway in rush hour...now that can be scary. Be well, Kathy
NY is the place I should visit someday.. or Soon... Thanks for stopping by my page, Drew*^^*
New York is an imposing place, but if you enjoyed the taxi in NY, you can handle anything!
I heard some terrifying "taxi stories" from New York City. I hope everything was fine with you, Drew!
You're right about the buildings of New York! They sure are tall! It was certainly sad when 9/11 happened! I've never been in taxi in New York city!
Lucky you for being there and seeing abit of it.. i still haven't but i will...soon. Hugs.
Coming to NYC in mid March..

Attend the New Employee Benefits Enrollment Workshop.
Main navigation | Main content
When you become benefits-eligible, Employee Benefits will send you an email message with the online enrollment information.
Refer to the Zones and Base Plan map to verify your zone based on where you live or work. For example, if you live in one zone but work in a different zone, you can choose a base plan from either zone.
You need to elect your medical plan within the first 30 days of employment or newly benefits-eligible position. You have the option to change plans within the first 30 days, and the new plan will be made effective retroactive to your initial effective date of active coverage. You can also elect to waive coverage and not have a medical plan.
You need to elect your level of family coverage within the first 30 days of employment or newly benefits-eligible position. Your eligible dependents include your legal spouse and your dependent children from birth through age 25 (up to 26th birthday). To read a full definition of eligible dependents, refer to the Summary of Benefits.
After your first 30 days of eligibility, you can make changes to your coverage due to a family status change such as marriage or birth of a child, or due to a work status change such as an appointment change from part-time to full-time. Within 30 days of the family or work status change, you can add or cancel coverage for yourself and your dependents.

Skip to comments.Using Semantics to Take Down Conservative Representative Todd Akin
Posted on 08/26/2012 4:55:54 AM PDT by Kaslin
Liberal pundits are declaring they have no idea what Rep. Todd Akin (R-MO) meant when he referred to legitimate rape in an interview this past week. Akin stated, "In cases of legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." It was an awkward, inarticulate statement, but the substance of it was correct. Explaining what he meant since then would be a bit crude, so he has not been able to adequately defend himself. His attackers have used the awkwardness to pounce on him and pretend they don't know what he meant, or make up even worse explanations.
Does anyone actually believe his critics? It may have been a poor choice of words, but everyone knows Akin was referring to the distinction between what we traditionally consider rape - forcible rape - versus statutory rape and what some claim is also rape, having sex while drunk. Some women will have a one night stand while drunk, admit it to their friends afterwards, then change their mind and declare that it was rape. The FBI updated its definition of rape this year to include the inability to give consent due to intoxication. Any woman who has been drinking can now claim afterwards that she was raped. This may have opened a Pandora's Box considering how many people drink alcohol before sex. The cliché rape is rape no longer means what it says. The definition has now been broadened to include any woman alleging rape after she has been drinking.
As for women's bodies shutting down, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that Akin meant that a woman is not going to get aroused if she is forcibly raped, making it difficult to become pregnant. Akin brought this up in order to explain why abortion in case of rape is not necessary. It is very rare that a forcible rape results in a pregnancy, so the issue of whether to permit abortion in the case of rape is mostly a red herring, used for fear mongering. Last week, GOP officials drafting the abortion ban for the party platform, declined to put in an exception for rape or incest. Tellingly, Akin's critics haven't bothered disputing Akin's real message, which is that less than one percent of rapes result in a pregnancy.
Akin immediately apologized for his remarks, clarifying later that he meant forcible rape. He has been running 30-second TV ads around the state apologizing. David Roney of Pro-Life Arizona notes that Akin's point was unborn babies shouldn't be sacrificed to punish rapists. Aborting children because they were a product of a rape would have taken the lives of gospel singers Mahalia Jackson and Ethel Waters. Ryan Bomberger, also born of a rape, wrote about Akin for Life News, Im glad such a pro-family, pro-life stalwart, despite a few bumps and lots of scrapes, is not quitting under pressure from hypocritical pro-abortion radicals and spineless Republicans. Bomberger listed several crude jokes that liberal celebrities have made about rape, and asks, Where was the condemnation of Whoopi Goldberg who, on The View, defended film director Roman Polanskis 1977 drugging and rape of a 13 year old as not rape rape?
It is troubling to see Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, the chairman of the RNC, Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) and conservative stalwarts like Rush Limbaugh demand the resignation of Akin. Limbaugh himself has been accused of comments that have made him vulnerable to intense criticism. It is reported that high-level GOP officials have told Akin they will no longer help him with fundraising. Many in the GOP have developed a herd mentality and are piling on Akin, asserting that no one can win without establishment support. Sadly, they are shooting their wounded to react so quickly and demand that Akin jump out of the race.
Fortunately, not all conservatives have deserted Akin. Because of the injustice of what has happened to him, Mike Huckabee has come to his defense, assisting with fundraising. It's notable that Akin exceeded his goal of raising $125,000 within a few days. Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life group, has put out a statement defending Akin.
Prior to Akin's misworded comment, he was leading in the polls over the Democrat incumbent, Sen. Claire McCaskill, who is considered to be the most vulnerable Democrat in the Senate. If his chances are now so dismal, why is Moveon.org calling for Akin to resign? Or why is the liberal super PAC American Bridge 21st Century demanding that Romney drop Huckabee from the GOP convention for supporting Akin? The left is well aware that to put in a substitute candidate now would risk losing the seat, due to the lack of time left to set up a ground game and garner name recognition.
Akin is a solid conservative who voted against No Child Left Behind, despite being pressured in a phone call by President Bush. He has a 97% lifetime rating from the American Conservative Union. A favorite of social conservatives, he obtained a Master of Divinity degree from seminary and has co-chaired the House Prayer Breakfast. No doubt his background is why many are targeting him so viciously.
Most voters will forget about this in a week. Three days after the story broke, McCaskill pulled ahead of Akin in the polls but could not break 50%, according to a Rasmussen poll. Akin can still win, unless Republicans continue to turn on him. A house divided against itself cannot stand. The Republican Party could still try to force Akin out up until September 25, by challenging his candidacy in the courts.
When people can't freely express their opinions it is a serious matter. Why isn't an apology sufficient? Why make this into a career-ruining incident? Akin didn't say rape is ok, and everyone knows exactly what he meant. Akin told Huckabee that he "misspoke one word, in one sentence, in one day." Wait until it happens to you.
He should have run for the House again and let the Conservatives fight it out.
I meant til November. Damn autocorrect
So are you saying that he "played footsie with her" too???.
There is no doubt in retrospect that he should have stayed put.
It has all to do about stupid comments by a politician.
Wrong. When a warrior has fought hard on your side for a decade you don't abandon him over one error. Akin's history is totally relevant to how he should be treated now. He's got a career and a record we can look at. Even from a political standpoint, that's something he can point to in the rest of his campaign. It's not like this comment is the only thing he ever did and the only thing he have to judge him by.
Likewise, the Romneys and Roves of the GOP and their subordinate lapdogs Ryan and Rience are all too eager to throw Akin under the bus because he actually stood up to the party establishment to fight for conservative principles that they were abandoning during Bush's tenure. I can guarantee you if it was McCain who made this gaffe, the party would not be throwing him under the bus, but would be happy to give him a second chance.
Would the term "legitimate rape" be mentioned at all in all 2012 political campaignS, if it were not for Akin?
I trust that other candidates are sharper than Akin, to self-inflict such a mortal wound.
If Akin drops out, the response to pathetic media attempts to keep the issue alive is EASY ... "Oh come on! Akin dropped out because of that. Let's talk about the campaign issues that really matter to the survival of our Country."
But the warrior abandoned YOU with his backpeddling of his own words. You are literally posting from under the bus where you've been thrown by that same "warrior".
I stopped there. I don't see where Romney, Rove or McCain fall into this gaffe since I'm not a Romney or a McCain supporter.
Your pathetic attempt to malign FReeper tsowellfan fails in epic fashion. Here's a tsowellfan post from early on in this mess that definitively showed he wished to give Akin the benefit of the doubt until Akin himself removed all reason to do so on Hannity ... TWICE!
I was one who felt sorry for the man. I still thought he needed to go after the mistake but I gave him the benefit of doubt. After hearing him on Hannity I could hear that he's in it for himself NO MATTER what the end result will be.
Exactly right. The "warrior" threw the entire GOP (both conservatives and the more establishment types) under the bus in a desperate attempt to salvage 'his' seat in the Senate. Disgusting.
Akin doesn't have a choice. His wife wants that Senate seat and this is his last opportunity. And if mamma ain't happy...
"We've been over this. He played footsie with the Democrats during the primary"
Where did you get this idea? In the Missouri primary the heavily Democrat areas vote Democrat. They don't cross over because the winner of the primary wins the general election. I know I live in ST. Louis.
Akin probably got the most votes simply because he was at the top of the list. People who were voting Republican for the first time or were disinterested in politics simple voted for the guy at the top.
He said Friday he was staying and he is. I know of no "write-in campaign" taking place in MO. To not vote for Akin on the 6th of November is to bring back the not so pretty face of Ma McCaskill for 6 more years. No sane person wants that. Gun bans. Tax hikes. Kenya-care. On Tuesday, August 21, I said,"If Akin is in after 5, he'll be standing on the 6th." He was, and he is. If I am wrong? I'll gladly donate $100 to FR...
The only pathetic thing here was your post and, of course, your pretentious screen name.
Well, the point now is to destroy Akin, and give the race to Claire McCaskill. Republicans are doing what they do best. No one is going to rush in to stop them. A little sacrificial blood on the alter of stupidity is Republican tradition. Ask George Allen and Trent Lott.
Every time one of our candidates misspeaks, let's throw him under the bus!
Yeah! That's the ticket!
If only Akin had left a woman pregnant with his child in a car under six feet of water under a Chappaquiddick bridge instead, none of this would be happening.
Glad we can agree on that.
If anything is worse than Akin's original idiocy, it's this.
Indeed. I wonder if she (Alexander) also thinks that a woman cant get pregnant if its her first time, cant get pregnant if shes menstruating, nursing or has sex standing up. (insert facepalm here)
Gad, even I didn't trash him that much, but you're on the scene eh.
Why do you think Republicans aren't supporting him?
The unfortunate reality is that even as red as our state is, it's only 40% Republican. That's about what Akin will end up with, 40% of the vote.
Great article.
I think it is becoming more and more apparent that Akin is being attacked because of his pro-life and conservative stands on issues....not because of his comment
Real conservatives are tired of the Saul Alinsky style of attacks on Akin and other conservatives. In fact, not supporting Akin now pretty much is supporting McCaskill...and Obama.
A look at the ACU's website shows a representative with a 97 percent lifetime rating through 2011. Yet there are some here who are ready to throw him under the bus for poorly stating what others have pointed out is a defensible statement.
This board is littered with ABOs who support the worst Presidential candidate the Republican Party has ever fielded solely because he's not someone else. Where are the ABMcKs?
Or is it just conservatism they can't stomach?
What are you talking about? No one supporting Akin agrees he should have used the term "legitimate rape" and most of his supporters don't agree with the pregnancy/rape theory. He made a mistake bringing that up as if it was established science. This isn't about excusing what Akin said, it's about giving him a chance to recover from an error.
Interestingly enough, the moderate rumor there is also that he was hand picked by democrats.
Here in my area...the notorious Alan Grayson (yes that Alan Grayson) ran ads against a Hispanic GOP candidate running in the GOP primary...because he knew he could not beat a Hispanic in a district 40% Hispanic.
Dems are doing this all over...it is not just McCaskill
The critics of Akin are just helping McCaskill...as they critcize this so-called "McCaskill support" of Akin.
And, many of the GOP Liberals against Akin are upset that the Sarah Palin-picked candidate finished third...and did not even get 1/3 of the primary vote...and that is the candidate the GOP Liberals want to run against McCaskill...
Hogwash. There's countless 67-year old German citizens today who have Russian fathers. Equally Chinese, Koreans and Filipinos a little older with Japanese fathers. Their mothers didn't exactly lie down and enjoy it.
My position has always been that if a politician says something they should not wave their finger in the air to see hot the democrats react and then go on an apology tour.
Judging by this comment, you probably are voting for Obama....because this is Romney (and other Liberal GOP) modus operandi
The vast majority of Republicans will still vote for him. So he'll only lose by 15-20 points. If the Republicans desert him, it will get worse.
This should have been a cakewalk. Akin was +11 two weeks ago. He has no one but himself to blame.
Might want to look up acut vs. chronic while you are on Google.
Akin grossly overreached in what he thought he knew about biology and on a very sensitive topic. That kind of lack of judgement is not useful and is quite likely to be repeated.

It is looking more and more like "conservatism they can't stomach".
Excellent summation.
Why, yes of course! I mean, Obama never lied a day in his presidency. < / sarc
Interesting analogy you made with the implication that Obama is better than Romney. I'm not surprised. Refer to some of my past comments a couple of days ago.
This! One thousand times over!
The Democrats sure as hell don't want to talk about the faltering economy and lack of jobs and thanks to idiots like Akin, we're not. Every candidate running with an (R) after his name is going to have to field questions about "legitimate rape".
A simple "As my voting record reflects, I'm 100% committed to life. Let's move on." would've been sufficient. It's an answer countless other elected officials have given. But no, Akin stepped in the minefield that McCaskill laid out for him. She certainly got her money's worth.
"When a warrior has fought hard on your side for a decade you don't abandon him over one error"
So the man is more important than the message? This will cost the conservative movement a senate seat, and that is too high a price to pay for an "error" as you call it.
He is now the poster boy for all those who want to categorize pro-life supporters as backward, neanderthal, redneck, Bible thumping, ignorant fanatics.
Thanks Todd.
"The vast majority of Republicans will still vote for him. So hell only lose by 15-20 points. If the Republicans desert him, it will get worse."
This is the cold hard political fact, and facts really do matter in an election.
That far down in the polls, there will be no money coming in, and also none from the state or national GOP.
Face the facts: Akin is a dead man walking.
He played footsie with the Democrats during the primary.
So what could he have actually done that would cause McCaskill to stop running her ads?
If he asked her to stop running the ads would she have complied?
If he told her to stop running the ads would she have complied?
Just what is it exactly that you think he could have done to successfully get her to stop running the ads?
All he needed to say was 'They be bad' and he didn't bother.
It's supposed to elect more moderates dang it. No fair, no fair, we wanna do-over, lol. Petulant children putting on airs.
If you don't like the message then "shoot the messenger"?
So would I, besides not being from MO or living there we have no right to tell the voters in Missouri not to vote for him like some in here think thy do have that right
People need to accept the fact that Sarah Palin is a mere mortal and not everyone she endorses deserves to win.
In 2010 she endorsed Brian Rooney (brother of Tom Rooney) here in Michigan. Rooney was the candidate backed by the establishment and even moved here just a few days before filing paperwork. I backed our defeated former congressman and he won both primary and general election. This year the democrats aren't even putting up much of a fight. I'm not mad about Palin endorsing the guy, its what politicians do but I'm not going to agree all the time.
I like Sarah Palin just fine but its her supporters who are rabidly out of control. I personally think she'll never run for president because she knows she could never live up to expectations others have put on her.
And muawiyah, no matter who it is, you bitch about every candidate. None is to your satisfaction. So just don't vote, but don't ell us not to
My point is that the media think they have found a winning strategy: just follow a conservative around until you provoke him into a gaff. Then the rest of the repubs will throw him to the wolves.

Escape Artist
Part of why this week has been so relaxing is Nathan's good behavior and willingness to sleep in. I love that the bedrooms are on the same floor as the living area, because in the morning Nathan feels free to run back and forth from our bed to the toys and leaves me to lay around taking my good old time getting up. This morning I wasn't showered and dressed until after nine...that's VERY late by my standards.
Last time we were here we shared a room with Nathan and he woke us up at 6 am every morning. He has never even tried to climb out of his crib or pack-n-play, so we have to get up and get him out and give him a bottle. This time we have separate rooms. We set up his pack-n-play in the guest bedroom, wedged in between the two twin beds so he would feel a little more cozy. The first morning we stayed here I mentioned I got up early to go to yoga class, and ended up doing it solo out on my deck. At about 7:30 I was relaxing in downward dog when I looked between my legs and spied a little face watching me. I went back inside to join the boys for breakfast. Nathan was in a great mood running around the living room. Suddenly I realized that the master bedroom door was only slightly ajar, as I had left it earlier, and Mike was still in bed. I just as quickly realized that Nathan had climbed out of his crib himself and opened his bedroom door for the first time ever. I knew he was quite capable of doing it, given how tall he is. After his nap he did the same thing. Later that night he let himself out three times, before we decided to move the crib away from the twin beds. He hasn't escaped again since.

No chace Mike Illitch is selling the team while his son is taking over day to day operations of Olympia Ent. Think about this; Illitch is known for being a loyalty/family man. You really think he'd sell the team out from under his own son? That would be a huge slap in the face. I would possibly believe it somewhat if it said Chris Illitch were to be selling the team. I doubt that to be the case as well. If he did that it would be removing a large part of the legacy the Illitchs have provided for Detroit and the family is much to intrenched in the city for something like that to occur.

And once the invitation has been issued (usually a written invitation but sometimes just a phone call, but never an email one) I start going through cookbooks for dishes for the party.
And then, I plan the table including linens, china and flowers.
The Thursday after Christmas, I invited the group I refer to as "The Cape Codders" to lunch. The four of us (and our husbands) rented a house on Cape Cod for a week in September. We had a grand time during that week for we explored the Cape from one end to the other and we "ladies" did a day in Sandwich seeing the historical sites, antiquing a bit and enjoying an elegant afternoon tea.
And it was the first time since September, we had all gotten together. We had a lot of visiting and catching up to do.
We ate and visited. Talked about the good times on Cape Cod and the fun day that we had in Sandwich. We remembered all the lobster we had eaten including the 12-pounder. We talked of Provincetown and the Whaling Museum. It was a fun afternoon and all too soon everyone bid their good-byes.
Cranberry Tart
* 1 pie crust (either your own or the refrigerated Pillsbury ones)
* 1 1/2 c. sugar
* 1 whole cinnamon stick
* flour, for dusting
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 c. creme fraiche (if available)
Bring 1/2 cup water and the berries, sugar and cinnamon to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium high heat. Cook, stirring, until the berries pop, about 2 minutes. Drain in a sieve set over a bowl. Return strained liquid and cinnamon stick to pan; reserve berries in a bowl. Simmer liquid over medium-low heat until thickened, about 15 minutes. Pour syrup over berries; let cool. Discard cinnamon.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a 9- inch round tart pan with a removable bottom (or a regular pie tin if you don't own a tart pan). Trim edges, leaving a 1/2 inch overhang. Tuck edges of dough under to create a double thickness and press firmly again sides of pan. Press bottom of dough firmly into tart pan. Chill in freezer 20 minutes (or if you're like me I never have room in the freezer so I refrigerate for 40 minutes).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line tart shell with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack. Remove pie weights and foil. Let cool completely.
Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Fill tart shell with cranberry mixture and syrup from bowl. Bake until syrup is only slightly runny and berries begin to brown, 45 to 60 minutes. (if pastry edges brown too quickly, cover with a band of foil).
Meanwhile, beat cream to soft peaks. Beat in creme fraiche (if you have it); refrigerate. Let tart cool on rack until cool enough to remove from tin. Serve warm, with whipped cream.
NOTE: I made 4 individual tarts instead of one big one. I am rather fond of individual desserts!

Skip to comments.Joe Wilson Proposes Forcing Congress Onto Government Health Insurance Plan
Posted on 11/05/2009 10:00:07 AM PST by yoe
Though Republicans oppose the so-called "public option," Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., is proposing the requirement to draw attention to the plan's alleged flaws.
Republican Rep. Joe Wilson proposed an amendment Wednesday that would force all members of Congress to receive health insurance coverage through the government-run plan proposed in the House's reform bill.
Though Republicans oppose the so-called "public option," the South Carolina gadfly -- who gained notoriety for shouting "you lie" at President Obama during his address to Congress two months ago -- is proposing the requirement to draw attention to what he sees as the plan's flaws.
"They know the government-run option will not be in the interest of the American people, either individually or for the American citizens at large," Wilson said Wednesday, arguing that's the reason Congress does not require its members to sign up.
The current House health care legislation states that members of Congress "may enroll" in the public plan. Wilson wants that changed to "must enroll."
"If the public option is good enough for the American people, then it's certainly good enough for Congress," Wilson said. "If this government-run plan is so good, why don't members of Congress take the plan?"

great idea
add all gov employees to the plan as well
They could start today by putting them on Medicare and Medicaid. That would be only fair. Why should they get better care than their slaves.
They could start today by putting them on Medicare and Medicaid. That would be only fair. Why should they get better care than their slaves.
While I don't agree with universal healthcare under any circumstance, it seems quite fitting that those that are proposing it should have to take their own bite of the sh*t sandwich they are trying to force down our throats.
Too bad they won't consider it.
The Americant Politburo declares, "This is an OUTRAGE!!!"
1000's have responded to Michelle Bachman's call to come to the Capitol. Watch it on C-Span 3
I will add, as a fifth circumstance in the situation of the House of Representatives, restraining them from oppressive measures, that they can make no law which will not have its full operation on themselves and their friends, as well as on the great mass of the society. This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates between them that communion of interests and sympathy of sentiments, of which few governments have furnished examples; but without which every government degenerates into tyranny. If it be asked, what is to restrain the House of Representatives from making legal discriminations in favor of themselves and a particular class of the society? I answer: the genius of the whole system; the nature of just and constitutional laws; and above all, the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America -- a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it.
If this spirit shall ever be so far debased as to tolerate a law not obligatory on the legislature, as well as on the people, the people will be prepared to tolerate any thing but liberty.
I propose forcing them onto the gallows.
What a great idea. Joe Wilson is a stand up guy. Way to go Joe!
It was stupid beyond belief that these people, supposedly smarter than any of the rest of us, didn't realize this and use it to their advantage, instead of allowing the fair criticism to their suggested legislation.
Instead of:
...seeing that all payers (government Medicare/Medicade, private insurance, self-pay) are billed the SAME amount (right now costs are subsidized by higher billing amounts to private insurance and even higher billing to those who self-pay).
...seeing that consumers can save tax deferred money in health savings accounts for out of pocket expenses. Ted Kennedy was a strong opponent of this. He's dead now. Let's move on.
...other proposals have included portability of insurance across state lines and other options.
But shackling us under a 1000 page version of the 1300 page bill still brings us Obamacare incrementally.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
All men are created equal but some are more equal than others, comrade.
I think all the pubbie's ought to start sying this. Problem is, too many of them are also part of the problem. Wishfull thinking.
This is a great idea politically. It forces the hands of the democrats.
Go Joe!!
A reminder:
Please do what you can to help out our fellow FReeper and good FRiend, Beckwith, keep the fantastic The Obama File up and running.
This fine patriot had to close it down briefly recently for lack of funds. Remember, this is a 70 year old living on social security.
"Exclusive: Interview with Rep. Joe Wilson on Health Care"
I had long said that the day Ted Kennedy walks into DC General for hospital service would be the day that I support socialized medicine. Needless to say, that day never happened. Kennedy avoided government hospitals at all cost even though he qualified for VA care. Go figure.
What a$$hole at Fox labeled Rep. Wilson a "gadfly"?
I'd like to be the first to call that stupid son-of-a-biotch a stupid son-of-a-biotch.
I believe that Pelosi, Reid and company are putting themselves into the government plan they want to foist on to this nation.
If the government plan drives the insurance companies out of business, thus leaving only the government plan, then members of Congress and all federal employees will be automatically enrolled into the government plan.
The current federal health insurance plan is based upon group purchasing from existing health insurance companies, if those companies go out of business, then the current federal health care goes out of business.
To me this is a classic "Hoist on their on petard" moment, where the Congressional Elite, so long exempting themselves from the laws they pass, are going to, as a consequence of those laws, make them suffer just like they want us citizens to suffer.
Thing is, pelousy couldn't care less what many of the details are, as this "thing" is so horrendous and monstrous to our republic, it must be defeated no matter what's in there for "public option", abortion, or forcing lawmakers to be on the same plan.
What is good for the goose is good for the gander needs to have meaning in Washington again.
When congress exempts themselves don't they violate the equal protection clause?
Most likely, but "Hey, they are Congress." (BARFFFFFFFFFF)
Tutu-wearing, pansy Marxist FJB.
Okay, I hear what you're saying.
But, let's not give anyone the idea that doing so would make this giant dose of Marxism acceptable.

Excellent idea, Joe! good on you!
I wonder what the context is of that picture.
Rahm needs an ass kicking.
So, is the point to say if Congress comes up with a plan they're willing to go on themselves, we're probably okay with it, too?
Most of them deserve such a fate. 200 years or so ago they likely would have gotten it.
I like that.
Laura Ingraham was talking to a guest this morning on her show and they were discussing how Planned Parenthood has been made a quasi-government agency by the health bill, complete with funding. That means abortion is definitely a part of this tax-funded bill.
Man, that finger he is pointing with the ugly face would have been snapped
into several pieces if I were the target and that close.
The hate in that sissy's face is more deserving of a knockout
punch, but I'd go for the finger out of politeness.
Why not? If it's as good as the democrats claim it is, they should be waiting in anticipation to sign up for it themselves.
So, how great is this bill, Nancy? You can be the first to sign up!
These words should be in every commercial and in every News Paper in the country. That would wake up a lot of people.
"Good for thee, but not for me."
The point is this will kill the bill as Congress will not want to give up their healthcare plan.
in 5 years this guy should run against Lindsey Grahmnesty for the Senate.
This plan is for the slaves - not the masters.
Absolutely; I've been saying that since day one. All public officials and employees must be made to take the exact same healthcare "plan" that is imposed on the rest of us.
In fact, going a step farther, they should be on it for two years before any of the rest of us, just to show us how great it is!
Oooh, there goes that evil conservative Fox again, supporting Republicans.
On its surface, it's snarky, it's a red herring, it's disingenuous and does little if anything to further our worthy cause.
I'd love to see it.
Say it is so, Joe.
I heard some twisted convoluted excuse for the bill last night that basically said if it's so bad why does Joe want all the congress and federal unions on the plan. Un freakin believable.
