Hello all you Crafting Chicks readers! My name is Lara. I blog at Less Cake {more frosting} and I usually answer to: Ellie G.
I am a stay-at-home Mom to 2 little darlins'. I love my family, Diet Coke, Broadway, Mickey Mouse, and anything made from pure sugar {including frosting}.
I couldn't be more honored to get to hijack the Crafting Chicks blog for the day! I adore this blog! And I love me some Crafting Chicks! I'm still trying to steady my hand as I type. Okay…breathe…I'm ready…
I was so excited to learn that I'd be able to share a "Back-to-School" project today. I've actually had this project in mind all summer, and hadn't gotten around to it. I'd like to show you how to make your very own DIY Scrapbooking Board for school….
But before you wonder "what on earth is a Larry Board," let me explain.
About 15 years ago, I started scrapbooking. It was with awesome Mrs. Grossmans stickers that were dwarfed by my giant empty pages. I only had tiny markers…or calligraphy ones, and some rather unfortunate paper choices. Remember those days? My Mother came across a little lap desk around Christmas time, and she thought it would make a nice gift for my scrapbooking. My Mom usually stays up most of the night helping Santa with all his gifts. So on Christmas day, you'll probably find her passed out from sheer exhaustion. She's been known to do some crazy things on her couple hours of sleep.
One of the best was when we passed out the gifts, and one was tagged: "to Larry".
Who's Larry?
No Larry in my family.
My name is "Lara", close….
We asked my Mom who the gift was for, and she insisted that it was for me, and WOULD NOT believe that she addressed it to "Larry".
It might have been a "you had to be there" moment.
But the more she protested, the funnier it got.
We had to physically take off the tag and make her read it aloud.
That tag, now 15 years old, is still taped to my lap desk. Now, in our family, ALL lap desks are called "Larry Boards". And today, we're gonna help you make a "Larry Board" of your very own.
I started with a raw wood lap desk that I found at Hobby Lobby. I bet you could find something similar, and you definitely could cut one. (if you have fancy tools like that)
After a light sanding on the edges, I painted the entire front and about 2 inches of the back. This was my first try with "metallic" paint. (my son picked it out) And I might be in love. It looks AWESOME!!
I used a piece of upholstery fabric that I had for the pillow back. I measured the wood from top to bottom, and side to side. Then I added an extra 1 1/2″.
Next, I used an inexpensive staple gun to staple the top of my fabric (wrong side up) to the bottom of the board. And I stapled around the corners. Then I flipped up the material, so that the right side was showing. And now the bottom is attached with an invisible seam.
Then I stretched the material up and stapled one staple at the top. It has to be on top of the fabric. But when we finish, you'll cover it up.
Next, lightly stuff your "pillow". I made sure that it was stuffed well in the bottom corners, and then evenly throughout the rest.
When it's all stuffed, you'll run a line of hot glue about 1/4″ from the edge, and glue down the open edges. (hiding the raw edge underneath) As you're gluing, cover up the exposed staple(s) on the top edge.
You'll end up with a cushy little pillow to rest on your lap.
Now, the fun part….DECORATING! This "Larry Board" is for my son, so I wanted to put his nick-name across the front. Unfortunately, I don't have a fancy cutter. (but will accept any donations toward getting me one.)
I like to print out letters on my printer, and put glue on the letters. Then I paste them to the BACK of my paper. (backwards) Then, when you cut, they don't move and you get perfect letters every time.
(still needing a digital cutter….are you grasping how much?)
I used my beloved Mod Podge to stick down my decorations. And then I gave the whole top 2 coats of the magic Podge.
(see, Mod Podge and I are such besties that I just refer to it as "Podge".)
**I do realize that by putting down the paper across the top, that it hinders a flat writing surface. But sometimes, cuteness comes before function. Wait, cuteness ALWAYS comes before function.**
I am positive that decorating one for a little girl would be easier (and possibly more pink) but I have a little boy. I wanted it simple, and clean.
But the great thing about this project is….possibilities are ENDLESS!
So go forth!
Start off school with a bang!
And get your very own "Larry Board".
*PS…there is no obligation to call it a "Larry Board". Obviously, explaining that to your friends and family would be lengthy and weird.
Feel free to call it whatever you wish*

LOVE it!
I think I'll call mine a "Larry Board"…my family would appreciate the humor 🙂
I think I might just have to make myself one…I tend to do a lot of writing/list making in bed or on the couch and never have something to write on. ESPECIALLY on the couch. I end up using our coffee table books and then get mad at myself when I notice pen indents in them. hmm…cute idea!
Great tutorial, and I loved your story! A Larry board just might be in my future.
Ellie g-this is great! Thank you so much for sharing on the crafting chicks:)
Love this so much. I even think I could handle this project. Great guest post all together!!
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Lori Allred, The Crafting Chicks. The Crafting Chicks said: The hilarious Ellie G is sharing her Larry Board today! http://fb.me/CfgYTNnC […]
Wow, this is awesome! I have a purchased "Larry Board" that I love. But this is definitely better and more appealing. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! Thanks everyone. I can't believe you'd all humor my dorky story. If I give out cyber gold stars to all of you….will that count? I LOVED getting to be a Crafting Chick for a day. Is it weird that I want matching t-shirts now? (and a membership card)
Thanks so much for the opportunity gals! And for all the nice comments. I adore this blog!

{via Mod Podge Rocks} Thanks for the great tutorial.

lol. I see myself totally in your mother; staying up till all hours and getting a little goofy in the process. Bless Her Heart. Do fathers ever do this? Love the project, especially for a young child. I made something similar for my teen son out of a discarded kitchen door sample (sans cute decorations). Alas teen boys do not appreciate things mom make. Now I use it and love my "Larry Board." I used an old pillow for the cushiony bottom. I think I would consider moving the decorations up to the top edge to leave a smooth writing surface in the center.
[…] Podge is the metallic paint. I love metallic paint lately, and there's no explanation. Visit here for the full post, and have your staple gun […]

Okay - this is a multi-pronged question, as I have recently taken a few lab tests for Vo2Max and LT and am trying to better understand the data:
Question 1: Does someone know a Vo2Max range for competitive amateur cyclists? So my test yielded a Vo2Max of 69, which when compared to the charts for the general public, looks decent. But let's face it - we are not competing against the general public, we are competing against other motivated and talented athletes. So it does know good to know that anything for someone aged in the 30-39 range is Superior when over a Vo2Max of 53, when that includes Joe Six-Pack (beer - not abs).
Improving Economy So my power at Vo2Max was 377, but LT was 235, which means my LT to Vo2Max ratio is 62%. I was told I was highly inefficient. As someone who has only raced for a year, is this something that will just improve with time, more racing and a structured off-season training program?
If so - what training program would you recommend?
Or is economy in some way is what it is (Friel indicates it is trainable, but thought I would run this by the gang here)

such diffuse organizations as the Chambers of Commerce, the National Association of Manufacturers, and the Business Advisory Council have taken strong positions in favor of the agreement.
However, the extent of interest group agreement around NAFTA is a product of the regional nature of the agreement, which attracts different multinationals for different reasons. Whereas multilateralists see it as an important step for reinvigorating GATT, regionalists view it as additional leverage against foreign competition. The likelihood of such a powerful free trade coalition emerging in another, nonregional context is minimal at best. Equally interesting is that even with such a high degree of unity in the corporate community over NAFTA, the agreement is politically divisive, with nationalists being led by the unlikely bedfellows of organized labor and Ross Perot in opposing the accord. If, in fact, multilateralism is in part the product of interest group pressure, then the future of the global trading regime looks increasingly shaky in the 1990s.

UK Immigration Law
Ask an UK Immigration Law Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hi thank you for your question. Please remember to RATE my answer OK SERVICE, GOOD SERVICE OR EXCELLENT SERVICE so I can get credited for my time.
When you left the UK on 26 June 2008 you can not count any period before that as when you leave the UK you break the chain of continuous residency in the UK for the 5 years and must start again to build up the 5 years.
Your time which counts for indefinite leave to remain begins from 27 Aug 2008, therefore you must have been in the UK until 27 August 2013 to apply for indefinite leave to remain.
The fact that your visa was issued on 5 August 2008 does not matter, it is the date you entered and undertook your employment. Therefore you need to apply for further leave to remain in the UK to make up the days which you fall short.
I hope this answers your question, if so kindly rate my answer positively so I can get credited for my time.

It doesn't seem possible - or fiscally responsible, for that matter - but Birdman wants to drop 100 albums in a year.
Speaking to MTV News, Birdman went through the numbers and the logistics of his proposition. "Right now, as we stand, we have [48 acts] between Young Money, Cash Money, We the Best," he explained.
"The goal is to keep developing and keep putting out, so to do that we have to keep buckling down, grindin' hard and stayin' focused. And that's a big challenge, to put a hundred out."
Birdman also delved into his competitive attitude towards the music industry. "Everybody that's doin' this — outside of who we done rocked with — is really an enemy to me. So if you ain't on the team, I'm after your head," he said. "If you're doin' what we're doin'. We wanna do the most numbers every year, each year, the most digital numbers. That's what we 'bout, if you doin' this music and you ain't rockin' with us, you're on the menu so that's just what it is."

• Princeton saw big contributions from its newcomers, but ultimately was swept by the Gauchos.
• Game two of the series saw serious offensive output from the Tigers, as they scored 10 runs on 10 hits, but a late rally by UCSB would be too much in the 18-10 loss.
On Deck: Princeton will take off on its annual Spring Trip through the Mid-Atlantic for 10 games versus five different teams from Mar. 15-23.

Center Grove girls basketball coach Shawn Sanders wasn't pleased with the Trojans' defense during consecutive losses to Greenwood and Decatur Central.
Each time, they allowed 55 points.
But on Tuesday night, Sanders was much more pleased as the Trojans scored 20 points off 19 Franklin turnovers and held the Grizzly Cubs to just 11 of 43 shooting in a 56-38 victory.
"Coming off the two losses, I think we cleaned up some of the problems that we had defensively," Sanders said.
Center Grove (5-2) used a pressuring back-court defense to rattle the Cubs (3-3) and an effective half-court defense that limited easy baskets, especially in the second and fourth quarters.
Clinging to a 22-19 lead midway through the second, the Trojans used an 11-2 run to end the half with a 33-21 halftime lead, taking the quarter 15-6. And then they used a 13-3 fourth quarter to pull away.
"I think this team could be really, really good defensively if they just commit to it and play together and talk and just really work together with the mindset that they're going to get stops," Sanders said.
A good example of getting stops came late in the first half when the Trojans scored six points off three turnovers in the final minute.
They made 7 of 16 3-pointers, five more than Franklin made.
Senior Lauren Weidman led all scorers with 16 points. Sophomore Ali Line added 13 points, and classmate Regan Wentland scored 11.
Franklin coach Walt Raines wants to limit the Cubs' unforced errors and defensive breakdowns.
"We have a lot to work on," Raines said. "I'm proud of the way the kids played. We played tough and kept ourselves in the game."
Franklin won the rebounding battle 36-25, but it struggled to score points.
"We just didn't finish," Raines said. "We had looks inside, looks we wanted."
Senior Kylie Whittington led Franklin with 10 points. Freshman Whitney Shapp added nine points and seven rebounds.
Franklin has lost three of its last four games and hosts Mid-State Conference opponent Decatur Central at 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
Center Grove plays at Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference opponent Terre Haute North at 7:30 p.m. Friday in the last of four consecutive road games.
"We want to be a contender in the MIC, and you have to win games like this on the road," Sanders said.

Oklahoma football: Why the Sooners are looking like a 2014 contender after Sugar Bowl win
NORMAN — Four days after Baylor routed Oklahoma 41-12, causing widespread panic throughout Sooner Nation, coach Bob Stoops was asked to assess the state of his program.
OU hadn't won an outright Big 12 championship since 2010, didn't have a clear offensive identity and wasn't landing the big-time recruits it once did.
"Seven-and-2 and working to the end of the year," Stoops tersely responded. "Just co-champs a year ago, right? What else do you want to know? We won it in 2010 and tied it in 2012 and we're going through '13.
"I think there are only 4-5 teams that have won more games over the past five years. I believe that's right. If that's not the answer you are looking for, I'm not sure. It seems like every time you lose a game, it's like 'Oh geez, the sky is falling.'"
In the less than two months since that statement, Oklahoma went on a four-game winning streak — capped by a stunning 45-31 Sugar Bowl upset of No. 3 Alabama — and now seems like a legitimate 2014 national-title contender. And in the two days after their bowl victory, the Sooners have scored a pair of major recruiting victories.
Five-star running back Joe Mixon announced Saturday that he would sign with Oklahoma, and on Friday, four-star Jenks defensive tackle Marquise Overton committed to the Sooners for next year's recruiting class.
Mixon's announcement came during the fourth quarter of the U.S. Army All-American Game, after which he was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
The 6-foot-2, 207-pounder from Oakley, Calif., is ranked by Rivals as the nation's top all-purpose back, and picked Oklahoma over California, Wisconsin and UCLA.
"Once they won that Alabama game, that sealed the deal," Mixon said after his announcement on NBC. "Now I'm a Sooner. Let's get it."
All of a sudden, the 2014 season appears to be Oklahoma's most anticipated since 2009, when quarterback Sam Bradford was returning after winning the Heisman Trophy.
The Sooners spent the entire 2013 season struggling to establish an offensive identity, and the back-and-forth at quarterback between Trevor Knight and Blake Bell didn't help that cause.
Knight won the job out of fall camp because of his mobility and dynamic playmaking skills, but he never fully showcased his passing ability until the Sugar Bowl.
After completing 32 of 44 pass attempts for 348 yards and four touchdowns against the revered Alabama defense, Knight looks like a bona fide superstar heading into 2014.
Many of the Sooners' best defensive players are young, too, like cornerback Zack Sanchez; linebackers Eric Striker and Dominique Alexander; and defensive end Charles Tapper.
Jordan Phillips was the team's best defensive lineman until his season-ending back surgery in October, and Stoops said Friday that Phillips will return next year.
Because the Sooners lose senior backs Brennan Clay and Roy Finch, Mixon should compete immediately for significant playing time. OU also has a 2014 commitment from four-star prospect Samaje Perine of Pflugerville, Texas, and returns Keith Ford, who displayed his tremendous potential in limited opportunities this season as a true freshman.
Stoops is prohibited by NCAA rules from speaking publicly about specific recruits, but seemed genuinely excited about the next few weeks Friday morning.
"I think we are in great shape, from what we are hearing and the way we've been communicating with guys," Stoops said. "Hopefully that all comes to fruition in a few days."

U.S. Military's Test Of Hypersonic Space Glider Fails
The early days in any defense-related, high-tech military project are typically marked by failure. The infant U.S. space program in the late 1950s saw the failures of the Vanguard rocket program.
So there's plenty of historical precedent for the military's failed test last week of its Falcon space glider meant to test the concept of a hypersonic craft that could travel up to 20 times the speed of sound, more than 15,000 miles an hour. The hope is that such a craft could eventually allow U.S. aircraft to reach hotspots anywhere on Earth within minutes.
The Falcon Hypersonic Technology Vehicle-2 was apparently successfully launched. But the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced in a statement that it lost the data signal from the craft within 10 minutes of its launch last Thursday.
An excerpt from DARPA's press release:
Preliminary review of technical data indicates the Minotaur Lite launch system successfully delivered the Falcon HTV-2 glide vehicle to the desired separation conditions. The launch vehicle executed first of its kind energy management maneuvers, clamshell payload fairing release and HTV-2 deployment. Approximately 9 minutes into the mission, telemetry assets experienced a loss of signal from the HTV-2. An engineering team is reviewing available data to understand this event.
And here's how DARPA describes its goals for the project:
DARPA's Falcon HTV-2 program objective is developing and testing an unmanned, rocket-launched, maneuverable, hypersonic air vehicle that glides through the Earth's atmosphere at incredibly fast speeds—up to Mach 20. The key technical challenges of the HTV-2 program are the design and testing of an innovative high lift-to-drag aerodynamic shape, advanced lightweight but tough thermal protection structures, materials and fabrication technologies, autonomous hypersonic navigation guidance and control systems, and an autonomous flight safety system.

Last Americans Standing,
Special thanks to all of you who tuned in for our first episode of the Last Americans Standing Show on July 6! If you missed the show or would like to share it with others, the archive podcast is found at this link...
Episode 1 "Patriots Vs. Panderers" Last Americans Standing Show July 6, 2008
We would like to ask our show supporters to take two steps in preparation for the next show that will air on Sunday, July 13, 2008 3-5pm EST / 12-2pm PST.
1. Please schedule to tune in live via the Republic Broadcasting Network at www.republicbroadcasting.org
2. We would like for each of you to set a goal of getting at least one new person to listen to the show live on Sunday and sign up for e-mail alerts from the show at www.lastamericans.us If you will send personal invitations to others asking them to tune in and sign up, we can build our audience!
Episode 2: The Day of the Illegal Alien Panderers
Patriots are encouraged to listen, but not call in this Sunday.
The following challenge is being sent to illegal aliens and their supporters today. The July 13 show is a chance for them to call in and challenge William Gheen on these issues.
Attention Illegal Alien and Amnesty Supporters:
The next episode of the Last Americans Standing Show will air on Sunday, July 13, 2008 3-5pm EST / 12-2pm PST on several stations and online at www.republicbroadcasting.org
We will be discussing illegal aliens, Amnesty supporting groups, activists, bloggers, websites, and lawmakers on the show.
If you are a supporter of the Dream Act, benefits for illegal aliens, college access and licenses for illegals, the Southern Poverty Lie Center, the Defamation League, the National Council of the Race, Media Matters, or Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty, then we want to hear from you!
If you disagree with the mission and methods of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC (ALIPAC) and would like to be heard, this is your opportunity.
We ask that you abide by three simple rules. 1. You must speak English on the show. 2. No vulgarity. 3. Please try to come up with some point to make other than the false claim that every group and American who disagrees with your political views is somehow a racist.
Our show supporters who want secure borders and more immigration enforcement have been asked not to call in during the show to give you and me time to debate these issues. I have a very special message for many of your groups and leaders, which will be presented during the first half hour of the show. We need to discuss the REAL racism, lies, and hateful messages coming from many of your Amnesty supporting groups and leaders.
I hope many of you will accept my challenge by joining us for a healthy debate and the kind of free speech that makes America such a desirable nation that others want to live in.
William Gheen

A major stumbling block for Japan on its road to becoming a more influential member of the global community has been a profound absence of voice. Japanese politicians, commentators, academics and business leaders alike have largely failed to articulate for international consumption coherent self-assessments of their society.
To be sure, there is no shortage of domestic analysis and debate by, for and among the Japanese. It would be difficult indeed to point to a nation with a more active publishing industry. How then can we account for the almost deafening silence of these highly literate people on the global stage?
Perhaps it is the hyperactive nature of the domestic marketplace of ideas that leaves little room for debate at the international level. A more likely explanation is a reluctance to write in foreign languages, leaving many potential contributions lost to the language barrier.
This book, edited by Yoichi Higuchi, professor emeritus of Tokyo University, is a commendable effort to redress this deficiency. A pre-eminent constitutional law scholar, Higuchi has gathered 17 Japanese law and political science scholars for this provocative and unique work.
Their common purpose is, as Higuchi explains in the preface, to "stimulate exchanges of views on many important questions — not the least, on the possibility and the difficulty of the 'adoption' of constitutionalism by non-Occidental cultures." Higuchi hits the mark expertly by isolating the fundamental issue underlying the current constitutional debate.
Written as short essays of 15 to 25 pages on a broad range of constitutional issues, the book is a page-turner leaving the reader wondering what new tidbit of information or insight lies ahead. Not every contribution hits the high target set by Higuchi in his preface, but the reader will learn much about the historical backdrop and contemporary debate over constitutional reform.
In the opening essay, Higuchi argues that Japan's acceptance of constitutionalism as a universal principle along with its stress on the rights of individuals is a model for nations desiring to forge "a synthesis of local tradition and imported legal concepts." By taking a trial-and-error approach, Japan has escaped the clutches of "Western cultural imperialism" and, ultimately, transcended it.
Higuchi's chapter is followed by an illuminating and more critical piece by Katsutoshi Takami tracing the role of tradition and religion as manifested in the emperor system under the Meiji Constitution. It was in Meiji that sovereignty was wrested from the shogunate and restored in the emperor, endowed with the power of divine will. The main goal of the present Constitution was to vest sovereignty in the people. Takami is not convinced that Japan has produced "autonomous citizens capable of bearing the responsibility of popular sovereignty."
He fears that unless Japanese develop a deeper sense of individuality, "the popular sovereignty outlined in the Constitution will not be engrained in the national consciousness, and the symbolic regicide that should have occurred in August 1945 will remain a fanciful illusion."
Toshihiro Yamauchi tackles the most controversial constitutional issue, namely, the "Renunciation of War" clause in Article 9. He contends that the right to live in peace is a fundamental human right including "in a broader sense the right to live and act peacefully without being deprived of freedom or property by war and military force."
He recognizes that pressures abound from conservatives to construe or to amend the Constitution so as to bring the pacifist norm of Article 9 more in line with political reality. He reviews a number of court decisions upholding the Japan-U.S. Security Treaty and evading the broader issue of the constitutionality of the Self-Defense Forces before concluding that "Article 9 stands at a crossroad; either it will disappear from the Constitution, or its normative power will be revivified."
Contributions by Yasuo Hasebe and Hidenori Tomatsu take on squarely the Supreme Court's failure to play an active role in formulating and refining constitutional doctrine.
Hasebe concerns himself with the rights of juridical persons, observing that "the Supreme Court has adopted the so-called "Bubun Shakai" (part-society) doctrine" under which society is partitioned into a multitude of collective entities, including companies, with the primary duty of regulating the lives of their individual members.
The Supreme Court defers to institutional decisions, private and public, because "in principle, courts should not intervene in internal matters of such part-societies, even if the internal conflicts take the form of legal disputes." Hasebe accurately observes that this doctrine guarantees the autonomy of social, political and economic subgroups at a high cost to individual rights.
Tomatsu comes at the same problem from the perspective of judicial restraint. He traces the Supreme Court's persistent reluctance to a fear of being ignored by the political apparatus. For example, Article 200 of the Criminal Code was declared unconstitutional in 1973, yet it was not deleted until 1995. Similarly, the Supreme Court has pronounced apportionment under the Election Law violative of the core principle of "one person/one vote" more than once but has not voided election results. Tomatsu accounts for these anomalies by asserting the top court's concern with "the Diet's ability to respond to its rulings."
Hasebe reports that the Supreme Court has held laws and government actions unconstitutional just seven times since 1947, while Tomatsu, in a wonderful understatement, says "no one can say that Japan's Supreme Court has ever made active judgments on constitutional issues."
Masayuki Uchino details the statutory and constitutional struggle for educational freedom in Japan.
After documenting how the prewar education system was used to support the deification of the emperor and then as an indoctrination tool for an increasingly militaristic and ultranationalist Japan, Uchino describes the efforts of the Occupation to break the central government lock on education. By 1948, a School Board Law was enacted creating local school boards with elected local residents.
The process of democratic reform was short-lived, coming to an end in 1956, when a new law replaced elected school board officials with appointees and put local boards under the Ministry of Education. Return to central control led to a myriad of ills, including the raging controversy over government approval and censorship of textbooks.
Uchino describes the process as being "quite rigid" with social studies books being "checked especially strictly, and from an ideological as well as educational viewpoint." He argues persuasively that Japan must break the "rightist inculcative and centralized governmental model" of education so that children will be free to learn "different constructions of knowledge."
Although it is not expressly stated, it can be surmised from the writings this book was conceived as a tribute to the long and influential career of Higuchi, which probably accounts for the peculiar decision to include one essay in French and one in German.
Nevertheless, the book makes a significant contribution to Western understanding of Japanese constitutional thought and is definitely worth reading. What Japanese scholars have to say about their five decades of experience with a Constitution imposed by external forces is informative.
It will, undoubtedly, be of paramount importance to readers from countries that face similar challenges as they emerge from the suffocation of central government control into the fresh air of constitutional democracy.

The Prom
A favourite pastime for Galweigans and visitors alike is walking along the Salthill Prom.
The seaside promenade runs from the edge of the city along Salthill and is overlooking Galway Bay. There are many bars, restaurants and hotels on offer.
At the end of the promenade local tradition dictates 'kicking the wall'.
'Kicking the wall' takes place at Blackrock (across from the diving boards). This is a 30-45 minute stroll from town. Kicking the wall is a tradition from the 1930's signalling that you have completed the walk.
Ladies beach, just opposite the Galway Bay Hotel is sandy and has shallow water for the younger kids to paddle in. There are spectacular views across Galway Bay.
Further down the beach at Blackrock there is pier with several diving platforms at different levels.
You can try from the very top level, if you think you have what it takes!

What follows here is an abridgement of an amazing and shockingly perceptive article by former Republican Mike Lofgren that appeared in the August 27, 2012 issue of The American Conservative magazine.
"What I mean by this secession is a withdrawal into enclaves, an internal immigration, whereby the rich disconnect themselves from the civic life of the nation and from any concern about its wellbeing except as a place to extract loot.
Our plutocracy now lives like the British in colonial India: in the place and ruling it, but not of it. If one can afford private security, public safety is of no concern; if one owns a Gulfstream jet, crumbling bridges cause less apprehension -- and viable public transportation doesn't even show up on the radar screen. With private doctors on call and a chartered plane to get to the Mayo Clinic, why worry about Medicare?
In both world wars, even a Harvard man or a New York socialite might know the weight of an army pack. Now the military is for suckers from the laboring classes whose subprime mortgages you just sliced into CDOs and sold to gullible investors in order to buy your second Bentley or rustle up the cash to get Rod Stewart to perform at your birthday party. The sentiment among the super-rich towards the rest of America is often one of contempt rather than noblesse.
Stephen Schwarzman, the hedge fund billionaire CEO of the Blackstone Group who hired Rod Stewart for his $5-million birthday party, believes it is the rabble who are socially irresponsible. Speaking about low-income citizens who pay no income tax, he says: "You have to have skin in the game. I'm not saying how much people should do. But we should all be part of the system."
But millions of Americans who do not pay federal income taxes do pay federal payroll taxes. These taxes are regressive, and the dirty little secret is that over the last several decades they have made up an ever greater share of federal revenues. In 1950, payroll and other federal retirement contributions constituted 10.9% of all federal revenues. By 2007, the last "normal" economic year before federal revenues began falling, they made up 33.9%. By contrast, corporate income taxes were 26.4% of federal revenues in 1950. By 2007 they had fallen to 14.4%. So who has skin in the game?
While there is plenty to criticize the incumbent president for, notably his broadening and deepening of President George W. Bush's extra-constitutional surveillance state, under President Obama the overall federal tax burden has not been raised, it has been lowered. Approximately half the deficit impact of the stimulus bill was the result of tax-cut provisions. The temporary payroll-tax cut and other miscellaneous tax-cut provisions make up the rest of the cuts we have seen in the last three and a half years. Yet for the president's heresy of advocating that billionaires who receive the bulk of their income from capital gains should pay taxes at the same rate as the rest of us, Schwarzman said this about Obama: "It's a war. It's like when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939."
For a hedge-fund billionaire to defend his extraordinary tax privileges vis-a-vis the rest of the citizenry in such a manner shows an extraordinary capacity to be out-of-touch. He lives in a world apart, psychologically as well as in the flesh.
Schwarzman benefits from the so-called "carried interest rule" loophole: financial sharks typically take their compensation in the form of capital gains rather than salaries, thus knocking down their income-tax rate from 35% to 15%. But that's not the only way Mr. Skin-in-the-Game benefits: the 6.2% Social Security tax and the 1.45% Medicare tax apply only to wages and salaries, not capital gains distributions. Accordingly, Schwarzman is stiffing the system in two ways: not only is his income-tax rate less than half the top marginal rate, he is shorting the very Social Security system that others of his billionaire colleagues, like Pete Peterson, say is unsustainable and needs to be cut.
After the biggest financial meltdown in 80 years and a consequent long, steep drop in the American standard of living, who is the nominee for one of the only two parties allowed to be competitive in American politics? None other than Mitt Romney, the man who says corporations are people and whose effective rate for federal taxes, at 14%, is lower than that of many a wage slave.
Opposing him will be the incumbent president who must raise a billion dollars to compete. Much of that loot will come from the same corporations, hedge-fund managers, merger-and-acquisition specialists, and leveraged-buyout artists the president will denounce in pro forma fashion.
The super-rich have seceded from America even as their grip on its control mechanisms has tightened
That wealth-worship -- and a consequent special status for the wealthy as a kind of clerisy -- should have arisen in the United States is hardly surprising, given the peculiar sort of Protestantism that was planted here from the British Isles. Starting with the Puritanism of New England, there has been a long and intimate connection between the sanctification of wealth and America's economic and social relationships. The rich are a class apart because they are the elect.
Most present-day Americans, if they think about the historical roots of our wealth-worship at all, will say something about free markets, rugged individualism, and the Horatio Alger myth -- all in a purely secular context. But perhaps the most notable 19th-century exponent of wealth as virtue and poverty as the mark of Cain was Russell Herman Conwell, a canny Baptist minister, founder of perhaps the first tabernacle large enough that it could later be called a megachurch, and author of the immensely famous "Acres of Diamonds" speech of 1890 that would make him a rich man. This is what he said:
"I say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich. " The men who get rich may be the most honest men you find in the community. Let me say here clearly " ninety-eight out of one hundred of the rich men of America are honest. That is why they are rich. That is why they are trusted with money. " I sympathize with the poor, but the number of poor who are to be sympathized with is very small. To sympathize with a man whom God has punished for his sins " is to do wrong " let us remember there is not a poor person in the United States who was not made poor by his own shortcomings."
The conjoining of wealth, Christian morality, and the American way of life reached an apotheosis in Bruce Barton's 1925 book The Man Nobody Knows. The son of a Congregationalist minister, Barton, who was an advertising executive, depicted Jesus as a successful salesman, publicist, and the very role model of the modern businessman.

David Schapira: Keeping spotlight on GOP helped block anti-labor bills
The most challenging task for Democrats at the state Capitol is to stay relevant in a place where you're greatly outnumbered.
That job fell to Senate Minority Leader David Schapira, whose caucus shrank to only nine members following the 2010 elections.
On second thought…
Sitting for an interview can often be an uncomfortable situation, especially if you're talking about yourself. A lot of questions can run through your mind. Is the reporter going to ask fair questions? Am I going to be portrayed fairly? Am I going to sound stupid?Read More »

Democratic leader won't rule out voting for GOP budget

Garcia says he needed 1 more Dem in Senate
This year, Democrats occasionally helped to pass time-sensitive legislation, including measures that ensured Arizona would get federal stimulus money.

Re: Travel Tripod
Consider a Feisol tripod. I've got one that weights a little over 1 kg with ballhead (different brand-- I think Gittos). I got mine from Feisol USA and they are made in Taiwan. Mine is a carbon fiber and I'm sure you can get one from UK.
